  1. Skipping a rotation and still graduating?!?!?

    veggie530 posted a topic in General Students

    I have a friend who could not get a clinical site because they all filled up (how did this happen??) so she is skipping our entire med surge rotation (our 2nd of 3, beginner intermediate advanced) and...

  2. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    veggie530 replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People are making way too many jumps that the individual mandate = the government now forcing us to do a myriad of other things, tbh. I don't see where a hospital would make people get one to keep...

  3. How do I fight off the nervousness as a New Nursing Student?

    veggie530 replied to brmuirhead's topic in General Students

    Just don't sweat it. The best way to get un-nervous is to always be well-prepared and be ready to dive in face first, guns blazing. Remember, everyone else in the program is brand new too -- only a...

  4. Worried to death about dosage cal!

    veggie530 replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    This is coming from someone that tutors OB/Peds/med-surge 1/pharm in an ADN program: Start now and don't panic. The worst it gets is BASIC algebra (proportions, basically) and you have months to do 20...

  5. My worst fear come true.

    veggie530 replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    This thread was really uplifting. I read the OP and was sad, then I skipped to the last page and I was touched. Congratulations on your accomplishment OP, I can't wait to join you as an RN in another...

  8. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    veggie530 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I hate to be a jerk, but the opening post was the most asinine and immature thing I've ever read. You want to be a health care professional? Act like it. "I don't want to do procedures on females?"...

  9. Skipping a rotation and still graduating?!?!?

    veggie530 replied to veggie530's topic in General Students

    We have 16 clinical hours per week for four semesters, give or take. She would be missing approximately 7-8 weeks of clinical time as a result. The only things that bother me are: 1.) we lost a...

  10. Dont Know What to Do!!!!!!!!!

    veggie530 replied to hurditrthere's topic in General Students

    What class did you fail? And is your semester over? Nothing until fall? A little more information would go a long ways, I

  11. Where do they find these clinical instructors?

    veggie530 replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    I've had nothing but fantastic instructors... just thought I'd come rub it in. LOL. Seriously, though... there's bad seeds in

  12. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

    veggie530 replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honest statement: I was with mine for six years entering the program. Needless to say, here I am day dreaming about the girl that sits a few seats in front of me and turns out the ex had something to...

  13. I hate nursing exams

    veggie530 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    I honestly think MC questions are a bunch of hog wash. That's MY perspective, but I also understand that the people who structure these things probably know more than I do about this. I don't think...

  14. CNA question...

    veggie530 replied to Nursingmom25's topic in General Students

    Hell yeah take it. As a student you're probably going to be doing CNA tasks for your patients anyway, and at the very least you want to be proficient at them. I wish I

  15. I don't get it

    veggie530 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    To each his own, to be honest. You were right to not say anything -- he's entitled to his opinion. Where I'm at, it's so easy to transition to a BSN after getting your RN that I do feel it's too...

  16. Clinical - A Place for Your Things

    veggie530 replied to Deredain's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I bought a wallet-type thing that carries ID, CPR card etc... and just put all of my wallet items in there. It came with something that hangs from your neck, so I wore it under my uniform hanging from...

  17. Obstetrics Clinicals SCARE me so much im considering dropping out :(

    veggie530 replied to canadiandude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm 24 and I just finished my OB rotation in March, and I have to say that the best thing I told myself was to act like I've seen a lady parts/pair of breasts before (lol). Seriously, you're a nursing...

  18. I hate nursing exams

    veggie530 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    I left a well thought out comment but it didn't post. Long story short: I don't think anyone would think you're throwing a tantrum if you didn't cite your grades from things like ochem as evidence...

  19. Why did you become a nurse?

    veggie530 replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To meet women. (lol) I worked construction, too while studying criminal justice. Needless to say, CJ isn't a great field to go into right now if you want job security and vertical mobility. My...
