  1. Want to quit nursing school.

    veggie530 replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    My ADVICE: Finish the mission, soldier. Use it as a paycheck until your "passion" becomes good enough to pay the bills. Passions often change, by the way. Too bad you've taken up 2 spots now that...

  2. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    veggie530 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    veggie530 replied to Vincent_'s topic in General Students

    veggie530 replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    How is this irony? How is this situation defined as "something that happened in the opposite way of expectation?" And I'm glad you don't want to work with the guy. Instead, you can work with OP -- who...

    veggie530 replied to inutero161's topic in General Students

    This isn't a big deal, lol. When you meet with your instructor, be prepared to tell him/her that you learned from this experience that from now on you will always a.) check medication orders INCLUDING...

  8. Why do doctors ask the nurse?

    veggie530 replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't get this. I don't mind getting yelled at for screwing up because I deserve it, but if I'm doing my job I'd be irritated if I was yelled at. They need an octagon shaped cage in the basement of...

  9. blowing veins during IV starts

    veggie530 replied to queenjulie's topic in General Nursing

    The IV site gets swollen and it looks like they got a really, really big mosquito

  10. Witnessed unsterile procedure and feeling terrible about it

    veggie530 replied to cblake4293's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with people saying stay out of it. Damage already done for whatshisface patient, right? Idealism aside, you're in a crappy spot and have no way to come out unscathed, so I'd take matters up...

  11. Nursing student questioning career

    veggie530 replied to dina118r's topic in Male Nursing Students

    veggie530 replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you want to argue about whether or not it was your business, whatever, not going to change the mind of someone like you. But it isn't your prerogative to approach someone about it -- that falls on...

  14. I have a concept map due this afternoon on 'unstable blood glucose'

    veggie530 replied to edmond1969's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you go up to a nurse, do you just say "HEY, I CAN'T FIND THE SALINE FLUSHES" Or do you say "Hey, I looked in the supply closet where the saline flushes are suppose to be, but didn't see them there....

  15. A Diabetic rant

    veggie530 posted a topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Hey guys. I've been a type 1 diabetic for fifteen years now and I'm set to graduate the program in May 2013 -- I clarify that because I don't want anyone to think I'm already working or think that I'm...

  16. Experience with Discrimination???

    veggie530 replied to Frank RN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It isn't a misunderstanding when someone walks up to you and asks "are you women?" when you obviously are not women. Very demeaning and condescending (albeit not necessarily discriminatory). But, she...

  17. I hate clinicals!

    veggie530 replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You have an attitude problem. It took less than 5 sentences for you to provide evidence of that, and your follow up post solidified it. Grow up, drop the attitude and realize that no one but you gives...

  18. You're going to think I'm nuts

    veggie530 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Honestly, grades in nursing school are what they are. There's plenty of people in my class with A's that are terrible hands-on nurses, or great hands on nurses that get B's. Which one would you rather...

  19. You're going to think I'm nuts

    veggie530 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I don't think I've met anyone who dislikes nursing school, honestly. I've just heard some griping about getting "burnt out" (how do you get burnt out in a 2-3 year program? I personally can't) or...

  20. Help, second day of pre-nursing school and a lady in my class keeps bugging me

    veggie530 replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What is pre-nursing school? Does that mean you're doing the requirements to get in, or is it literally a program that you complete to get

  21. MAR error

    veggie530 replied to paulsab's topic in Patient Medications

    They're going after your license on a MAR error? I don't know the severity of the circumstances, but it seems pretty extreme if you accidentally initialed a colace administration for the next shift or...

    veggie530 replied to xAngel's topic in General Students

    Some of the things I'm seeing suggested probably takes more time and effort than you're willing to or able to invest for the current nursing (rn?) program you are in. Might I suggest that you use this...
