    Fun2 replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    Forgot to add....use the HESI book to study out of in addition to the other sources. Katie, I'm ready to start for the BSN also, but that'll definitely have to wait 6 months...when the hospital will...

    Fun2 replied to eggs's topic in Operating Room

    Instead of the extra schoolin', try to get a PCT job in the OR, or after starting nursing school, see if there is an extern position in the OR. No education is needless knowledge, but time may/may not...

    First Clinicial Experience

    Fun2 replied to Marly18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You should be concerned, but we are also taught, "We're a guest in the hospital"..... Therefore, you pick your battles. The instructor should be told, don't get me wrong, but overall....it is the...

    How Dare You Say That To My Patient!!!

    Fun2 replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    Not only should the tech not talk about your patient that way, you should not allow yourself to be talked to in that manner. I find that abusive, and I think you need to file a formal complaint if you...

    Out of county tuition

    Fun2 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    I changed from Dallas to Tarrant county, and had to pat out-of-county fees only because I am an honest person, and couldn't lie for 2 years. I know some people do, but that's their own conscience. I...

    Learning IVs

    Fun2 replied to kt123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got most of my 'practice sticks' in the emergency room clinical rotation during 3rd and 4th semester. See if you can float to the ED for practice at least once a week until you feel more in control...
