  1. Shoes

    Nolli replied to aimbig's topic in General Students

    I have been using New Balance 928s. I can and have been on my feet for 12 hrs straight in them comfortably. They are very durable showing no signs of needing a new pair after 3 years of continuous...

  2. Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    Nolli replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    Isn't that already happening in some areas? I agree with the others in regards to both not really wanting a machine to care for me and skepticism that it could do anything other than technical tasks....

  3. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    Nolli replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    Honestly? By being professional yourself. The reason why you are getting so much aggro on here is because of the way you responded initially. You may not want to hear it, but bringing people's grades...

  4. New to board!

    Nolli replied to Jental1982's topic in General Students

    Clinicals are fun! For our first clinical we learned how to make beds, put patients on and off the bedpan, patient positioning, bedbaths, body mechanics, and patient assessment. So basically what...

  5. Student cheats off me in nursing school

    Nolli replied to nurseoholic's topic in General Students

    Hang in there. She broke your trust by doing this when you were only trying to help, the fault is hers and hers alone. I won't caution you against helping others in the future, because by helping...

  6. How hard is your nursing school?

    Nolli replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Students

    Our system is the exact same as yours as far as how many times you can fail before being kicked out of the program. Our passing score for a course is a 77 and it is also a C, but if you have a final...

  7. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    Nolli replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    I have no problem answering call bells, but the one floor I was on was just crazy. There were more patients than CNAs or students put together which meant the nurses had to answer some too. Combined...

  8. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    Nolli replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Wow! I didn't realize how common it was to dislike certain sounds. I hate it when someone next to me chews loudly or eats extremely crunchy foods for long periods of time. However, I absolutely start...

  10. Problems with ATI

    Nolli replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    The first thing you should do is go to your professor. Explain the problem you are having and ask for help. Professors in my experience are usually willing to go the extra mile for a motivated...

    Nolli replied to ANurseWannaBe's topic in General Students

  13. Jump start on pharmacology

    Nolli replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I talked to my professor about it when I was going through pharm and again now that I'm in prep for NCLEX. The number one thing she stressed was safety. If a drug has a side effect of hypotension...

  14. Stethoscope.. Help choosing one.

    Nolli replied to MyOwnBlueSky's topic in General Students

    I've had a Littmann Classic II since 2003 and it has never let me down. That said I've borrowed a classmate's cardiology one and I loved it. I may end up getting a new one for myself as a grad...

  15. Failed reentry exam & feeling HORRIBLE!

    Nolli replied to minlou's topic in General Students

    Originally I and many other students thought that HESIs were horrible inventions and that they should be banned. Why should we have to take a test at the end of the semester that counts for a large...

  16. Just failed out of the nursing program..advice on next step?

    Nolli replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

  17. Summer help..

    Nolli replied to kplp1111's topic in General Students

    As an upcoming grad, take it! So many graduate nurses are having a hard time finding jobs months or even a year plus out from graduation. I cannot tell you what to do about the house or family, but...

  19. What to expect for my community health class

    Nolli replied to Nightlife's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ours was very heavy on teaching. In the community setting though you have to balance what you want to teach them with what they are capable of doing and what they are interested in. You can only lead...

  20. DO YOU FEEL STUPID???

    Nolli replied to JAKE B's topic in General Students

    All of the nurses I talked to went through the same thing. even though you know it's coming it's still a bit of a shock. "Oh my god they are letting me care for patients on my own...." The first year...

  21. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    Nolli replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Odd we were required to have either PALS or PEPP, ACLS, and BTLS. Honestly though OP I wouldn't waste your time with him. If he keeps interrupting class and it really bothers you you can talk to the...

  22. Medication Administration

    Nolli replied to Littlefoot88's topic in General Students

    Possible reasons: 1) Have you ever had a patient refuse a med? I have and once it's open it can't go back. So possibly a cost benefit. 2) More accurate charting on an at the moment basis. If you...

  23. Today I made a big mistake.

    Nolli replied to student-rn's topic in General Students

    To those who are unsure how OP even pulled meds: We're allowed to pull meds ourselves if the clinical site allows it, but our instructor has to be there when we administer them and they have to check...

  24. Marketing Yourself

    Nolli posted a topic in General Students

    I'm graduating soon. I'd venture my goal is the same as the other graduating students; land a steady nursing job. I have two questions in that lane of thinking: How important is Linked In? So a lot of...

  25. Nurse Manager Staff Motivation

    Nolli replied to Lindarizo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This! The best way to get people to change is to get them involved. If they feel ownership of the policy they are more likely to adopt and respect it. You need people to be able to feel like they can...
