  1. Talking to patients

    caughtbuckinoff replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    You'll get there, don't worry. I work as a waitress and like you, have no problem chatting away if people are friendly. The thing that made me nervous at first with clinicals is being so out of my...

  2. How do you handle all the reading?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Lol, love it. The more I read, the worse that I do. I end up getting hung up on knowing the pathology of the diseases, EVERY obscure damn detail, then couldn't tell you how to handle a nosebleed. I am...

  3. Where do YOU sit in class?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    Back. For what it's worth, I do very well in my classes. Someone has to sit in the

  4. Is nursing as bad as some say???

    caughtbuckinoff replied to #scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Simple answer, No. You make your own happiness in life. Every job presents with good days and bad days. If you want to be a nurse, be a nurse. You'll deal with unpleasant people, management, and...

  5. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    caughtbuckinoff replied to jrsRN07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She was probably trying to make conversation and strike up a potential friendship, being that you may have shared something in common, even if it was distant. Ease up on the over analyzing. I don't...

  6. Problems Wearing Kimberly Clark Nitrile Gloves?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to sehartma's topic in General Nursing

    Not that drastic of a reaction, no. I'm sorry that happened to you! I do get very itchy hands after using nitrile gloves. I can only use the vinyl ones, as latex makes me itchy too. I'm not much help,...

  7. Serious anxiety about nursing school

    caughtbuckinoff replied to hazel30's topic in General Students

    Don't be anxious, nursing school is fun! It's really not as bad as so many people make it out to be. The material is not overwhelming, particularly if you have decent study skills and good...

  8. Cath lab or endoscopy for observation day?

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in General Students

    This semester we get a couple of our clinical days for observation in a few different areas. Along with a day in the OR, we also have the choice between a day in the cath lab or endoscopy. I'm leaning...

  9. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    I buy the older edition books. If the school asks for edition 10, I buy edition 9 for 90% less money. It has never negatively affected me. Buying the older edition is cheaper than renting in my...

  10. Clinicals, really not prep for real world?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    Love this. You always have something intelligent and rational to say. Thanks for helping to get all of us noobs through it,

  11. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    T-shirts, jeans/pants (would wear shorts but those rooms get cold after a couple of hours), and flip flops ( I live in Florida, flip flops are a way of life here). Lab days we have a school polo and...

  12. Day shift nurses: what do you eat for breakfast?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Morainey's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If I'm in a hurry, Greek yogurt and a banana (or apple). Protein shakes are great as well. I make mine with a tablespoon of both flax and chia seeds, a whole banana, low fat milk, and peanut butter (I...

  13. In the middle of summer break... 2 semesters left

    caughtbuckinoff replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    Opposite here too. I'm enjoying my summer but will be happy to get back to school. I'd rather be moving forward in the program, no matter how much easier it is to bum around for a couple of months....

  14. Home office for school work

    caughtbuckinoff replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    He had better not suggest that you lock yourself up with your 2 year old to study anytime after school actually begins or he might be met with a solid right hook, lol. I guess if he refuses to share...

  15. Home office for school work

    caughtbuckinoff replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    Great idea! Getting a desk and putting it in a room with a door that locks saved me last semester. I do share the room with my boyfriend's three year old son but we only have him twice a week and he...

  16. Possible nursing diagnosis for recent PEG tube insertion?

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello! I had a lovely patient the other day and have decided to do my final care plan using him. I need three nursing diagnosis and have come up with quite a few, but would like to focus one on the...

  17. Top 10 Nursing Supplies

    caughtbuckinoff replied to JenLahaye's topic in General Students

    Desk. Definitely get a desk. Preferably in a room that you can shut the door to. It has made such a difference to me. Boyfriend knows that once that door is shut he'd better find some way to entertain...

  18. Allergic to Foam/Gloves/Soap?!

    caughtbuckinoff replied to SarahJade4's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Are your nitrile gloves the blue ones? We have the option between two gloves at the hospital; blue and clear. Both are latex free but every time that I've ever used the blue ones, my hand eczema...

  19. I am an artist.

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    That was beautifully written, thank

  20. Nursing School= No Life

    caughtbuckinoff replied to johns795's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say that nursing school equals no life. It is definitely time consuming and you will have to say "no" to things you'd rather be doing more often than you'd like, but it really shouldn't...

  21. How to save my hands

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hello, I'm currently a nursing student and my hands are already suffering from being over washed and sanitized. I have the hands of a 70 year old coal miner to begin with and the skin is rough and...

  22. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Eyeballs. Anything with eyeballs injured or otherwise not where they should be doing what they should be

  23. I want to quit :(

    caughtbuckinoff replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    I understand, my significant other lives two hours away while attending pharmacy school. I miss him and only get to see him once or twice a month and it will be this way for another two years. It...

  24. good-paying jobs to have while in nursing school - ideas??

    caughtbuckinoff replied to bebe15short's topic in General Students

    I work at a restaurant that focuses on doing weddings. I am a wedding server and bartender. Since weddings generally only happen on the weekend days, I usually only work 3 days a week. The money is...

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Infectious Disease
