  1. Thoughts on Nursing Students Association

    dsf43 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone. I came across something I am interested in, but not very knowledgeable about. I live in Florida and we have the Florida Nursing Students Association. I have never been in any clubs or...

  2. What to do when your patient adores you?

    dsf43 posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my first semester of nursing school and I have my clinicals on the Med Surg floor of a hospital. So far I have had 3 different patients and they have all absolutely loved me; I do not say this...

  3. What to do when your patient adores you?

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    This is more of what my previous post was directed to. This sounds like I have been continuously doing something that I should be getting in trouble for. Like I keep putting my hand in the cookie jar...

  4. What to do when your patient adores you?

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Ok, this topic needs to be closed by a moderator. Honestly, I do feel these posts are being very judgemental. To answer your questions, NO, it was never discussed with my clinical instructor or any...

  6. What to do when your patient adores you?

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    I appreciate everyone's feedback. It gave me some ideas to bypass sticky situations. I think I will tell them something, as mentioned above, in a matter of fact tone of voice, something like "I'm...

  7. What to do when your patient adores you?

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Elderly is generally defined by many definitions; some will say 60 is the magic number, while others will say 65, and others will say 80. Everyone has their own definitions of what they consider it to...

  9. Question on giving a full bed bath

    dsf43 posted a topic in General Students

    In lecture, we were told to not wear gloves when we perform bed baths unless coming into contact with bodily fluids or feces, or open wounds. So basically no gloves giving the bed bath until we are...

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I'm gonna make sure to wear them for now evertime I give a bath now. I would rather wear them than not anyway so it's good to

  11. First day of Nursing School..

    dsf43 posted a topic in General Students

    ...and it was a SUCCESS! I enjoyed every minute of it, even the parts where the lecture got boring haha. For the first half of the class, I was taking notes by hand even though I had brought my Ipad...

  12. First day of Nursing School..

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Thank you Esme12. I am glad we can refocus on the initial topic. To answer some questions on the app Notability- It is a great app, although I have only used it this once so far. But I have played...

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

  14. First day of Nursing School..

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Sorry, Nursing_Mamacita and triquee, I think you guys got my post mixed up with another that wanted your negative feedback. You're sarcasm/jokes are in a negative light which are not really...

  15. "Over studying"

    dsf43 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you can over study. As in, if you study for like 8 hours straight and you're studying because you know you need to study. You eventually reach that point where the information isn't sticking...

  16. Who's getting EXCITED!!??

    dsf43 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    I have already reached this point. I had orientation two weeks ago and it feels more real now. I still had the 'this isn't real' feeling as I was purchasing all my supplies and doing the vaccine...

  17. What is the average of a nursing student?

    dsf43 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    I am 22, but when I went to my orientation, I noticed a lot of people probably in the age range between 25-45. To put it in perspective (granted that having kids does not in anyway shape or form give...

  18. CPR Certification Question

    dsf43 replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    I have never gotten certified online. I have only done it in class. But I am pretty sure the way online goes, if you are not CPR certified already, you learn all the information online and then you go...

  19. Shoes ....

    dsf43 replied to angeltech's topic in General Students

    I gave in and decided to buy these shoes from your suggestion! The heel is pretty low so it does have a feeling like it might come off, but I love the fact that it has no laces and it just slips on. I...

  20. Orientation tomorrow!

    dsf43 replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    I had mine yesterday, it was very informative. Make sure to bring paper and a pen to take notes! Never know what information they're gonna throw at you while you're

  21. Nursing Instructor Continuously Embarrassing Me

    dsf43 replied to Jlseeze's topic in General Students

    As I was reading your post, I had a thought. It could potentially be (this is just a theory) that he is trying to teach you a lesson in itself. By him targeting you and always saying your quiet, you...

  22. For pre nursing students

    dsf43 replied to dsf43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. positive TB test........now what?

    dsf43 replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in General Students

    I test positive because I came into contact with it at some point in time and I start my nursing program next month. Never actually had tb though. No worry at all. You just get a chest xray done once...

  25. Possible to get into nursing school with a C? Has anyone ever?

    dsf43 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your school on how they select students. I was in the same situation with Statistics because I took it online. I barely passed with a C. I also got a C in Anatomy and Physiology 1. Only...
