patiently waiting for someone to leave and notice a scalpel still inside of them

Lots of high school kids just ask to go home, honestly. the nurse at the school I attend sends you home whenever you want

This is what the nurse meant when she said their heart rate was through the roof!

My instructor tried the card before so that she knows when any laws are being broken she can say "Well, actually I am a nurse as well." But also she said that she sometimes lets it go to see how the treatment is if they have no knowledge of you being in the healthcare field. It depends, some people do get treated a bit better this way so they try playing the nurse card and some people don't and just see what care they get. Depends on the person.

Hahaha I agree so much! It's so nice being able to relate with people on this site!

I agree that you should always be honest in your answers on this site, but also sometimes people just take it too far with things. You don't have to be rude to tell your opinion on things. Also, If you're the one asking for advice on things, what do you expect??

I actually think this is a great idea to get kids into having a healthy life style. You could give out papers for the food pyramid and also teach kids long with adults how to have a happy and healthy life. You could have a skeleton to show kids and parents about parts of the body that are essential to eating right. (:

Congratulations i bet youll be great for the job :)

Some patients are going to be like that. You should try to stay calm and not let them get to you, although i understand that you have your good and bad days. try your best but sometimes it can get very difficult

bad days happen for everyone. Just learn to let it go, there will be more people in the future that are the same.

i dont think you really told off the doctor, but just stating your opinion. Yes you should keep the patient from harm, but at the same time not be rude to the doctor.

i dont think it would be a problem as long as they arent all chipped and falling apart.Think of this;when your nails chip where do they go? exactly! you dont want people to find pieces of nail polish around! It could be a problem depending on your job though, some faculties are strict about it but others dont find any harm in it.

Id have to say the most common ones in your list would be the loose runny stools.Possibly nausea depending on the antibiotic.

The presentations arent too bad, just take a deep breath and do it! A lot of people worry about them but there really is alot of other things to worry about youll do fine just stay confident, and if you mess up who cares? some professors probably remember being in your position and they'll give you another chance. Best Of Luck! :)

Everyone has days when your discoraged and you find no use in your job, but other days are great. I'd persue your dreams if thats what you want.You need to really look into it and make sure its the job that you feel is right.Just because you hear stories doesn't mean their all true.Sometimes they just try that to keep you away, i dont know why they do but it just happens like that. Im only in highschool but im studying to be an RN. But i asked nurses about it and they will say the same thing that in the end you do learn a lot and in the long run it is worth it. good luck :)
