  1. Safety for Nurses and Nursing students

    ZeroNightskye replied to Butterfly6890's topic in General Students

    I'm just going to be honest, speaking as someone who's be violently attacked in the past. I carry a knife, and I have, in the past, had to pull it. Thankfully never had to use it, however. To put it...

  2. Today I screwed up...

    ZeroNightskye posted a topic in General Students

    Long story short, today was my first day of second semester clinical (flu shot issues). My rotation is in an LTC facility and the patient I had used a rotater walker. Well, a classmate told us an...

  3. 16 year old in the ADN nursing program, now they're asking me to withdraw? :

    ZeroNightskye replied to xAngel's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't think that's true. I just started nursing school myself, and I'm 17. The youngest person in my class too. Then again, I live in

  4. Weight gain?

    ZeroNightskye replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    I find this will probably make me LOSE weight. I'm not eating as much as I did at home, and I'm actually much more active as I have to walk everywhere. That, and I'm one of those types who's...

  5. I need to vent

    ZeroNightskye posted a topic in General Students

    A week after starting school, I'm already having problems. Why? I HAVE NO DAMN MONEY! The school bookstore only had TWO used copies of books. Why should ONE book that is 200 pages long cost two...

  6. What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    ZeroNightskye replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Some students keep their phone in their pocket, on vibrate. And only answer when the instructor ISN'T talking. Would you deduct say 5% of a students grade if you passed by close enough to hear it...

  7. What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    ZeroNightskye replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Actually, due to extremely LONG wait times in Canadian ER's, I was using mine to keep in contact with loved ones who were worried. That, and when I was the only person in there at 9 o clock at night,...

  8. Which nursing specialty or position is the most physically demanding?

    ZeroNightskye replied to J19J94R's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, but my hate goes off to them too. I could NEVER handle the burn unit. I actually faint at the sight of third degree burns. ._. Full body charring? Worst thing that could ever...

  9. Incompetent Supervisors

    ZeroNightskye replied to GhostWindRider's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry to hear that. With what you've done in the military, I'm surprised you don't have job offers lefts and right. I'll echo what others have said, and say that you probably should sue this...

  10. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    ZeroNightskye replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Herd immunity does nothing for contaminated surfaces. Are you going to systemically disinfect EVERYTHING someone may touch, including banknotes? Mass disinfection has also been shown to speed up the...

  11. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    ZeroNightskye replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree 110%. It takes a lot to make me get a shot that I KNOW will make me feel ill rather than negate the risk of maybe feeling

  12. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    ZeroNightskye replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I misspoke on that I suppose. But I do believe the vast majority of healthy individuals don't particularly need a flu shot. If you're not elderly or immune compromised, yeah you'll feel like garbage...

  13. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    ZeroNightskye replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Didn't say it did, did

  14. Another slightly silly question re: supplies

    ZeroNightskye replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I've got a Cheshire cat t shirt. It's adorable. I agree with everyone else, do what makes you happy. My teachers already told my mum they don't care what I look like as long as I do my homework. Lol I...

  15. Another slightly silly question re: supplies

    ZeroNightskye replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I dress like I walked out of a Dracula movie, but I have a weakness for hello kitty. Ive actually been searching for a hello kitty messenger bag to keep my laptop in. Or even better a nightmare before...

  16. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    ZeroNightskye replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They're requiring the flu vaccine for by BSN program. I am against the flu vaccine. For one thing, it's last years strain. Completely useless against this years, you will still get the flu unless you...

  17. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    ZeroNightskye replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm a wiccan and actually just starting a BSN program next week. I never take my pentacle off really. I live in a very small town, and used to take quite a bit of grief. Since I'm still up north, I do...

  18. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    ZeroNightskye replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you kidding? They seriously CHARGE nurses in Ontario to maintain their registration? That's ridiculous. Please tell me they don't do this

  19. 9th Nursing Caption Contest - Win $100

    ZeroNightskye replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Nursing school finally got to

  20. How do I find time for personal relationships?

    ZeroNightskye replied to RachelZ0918's topic in General Students

    I'm curious about this myself. My fiancé and I are currently long distance. He's living in Georgia while I'm starting nursing school in Ontario in a week. I think the limited times well be seeing...

  21. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    ZeroNightskye replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    Oh I feel your pain. I have spiral ringlet curls, and my natural haircolour is a white/ashy blonde (I dye it black). What I do, mostly since I like it better, is straighten it. Then, since I live up...

  22. FBI Fingerprinting Background Check

    ZeroNightskye replied to rachelbug91's topic in General Students

    In Canada it's the same thing. The RCMP is our FBI equivalent and I need a police vulnerable sector records check done before I can even start

  23. Curious Question

    ZeroNightskye replied to CallieNM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Admittedly most of my online time is spent on gaming and language learning (my second

  24. Curious Question

    ZeroNightskye replied to CallieNM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's necessary to delete it. On top of that, it's very easy now to control who sees what. If you have something you don't want someone to see, you set it so they can't. Friends only and...

  25. How do nursing schools react to alternative faiths?

    ZeroNightskye posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a wiccan and going to nursing school soon. I openly wear a pentacle. I'm wondering how nursing schools and clinical placements would react to this? I mean, it's not a problem if a christian...
