  1. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    neuron replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, but to say that someone is just an 'expense' is just ridiculous. She can contribute plenty, and give 10 years to the

  2. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    neuron replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Realistically, you don't have to reveal your age to any employers (except Texas, where sometimes they want your I.D. and s.s. # before you fill out your application, it seems shameful). Not sure...

  3. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    neuron replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

    Maybe you can go to the dean or chair, instructors don't have a right to fail you in your last semester, you put time and money in to this and you have proven to be safe and ethical. They should have...

  4. Pharmacology

    neuron replied to KSjo88's topic in General Students

    I am really wondering if these instructors are imposing more on the students than they ever had to endure. It seems like these instructors that you speak of, the one's where 'half the students or...

  5. Why is A&P so hard?

    neuron replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    It's probably the physiology part. The instructor makes a difference

  6. Violence in Nursing

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think that nurses are easy targets. It is one of the 'safest' professions and they are held to a certain

  7. friend got bad grade

    neuron posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I we took a pharmacology test a few day ago, and I did well, as in well over 10 points the average. My friend did not do well, he scored under 70. I was so excited about my grade that I told him....

  8. Sent home from clinical :(

    neuron replied to marin8campy's topic in General Students

    Were you warned about the care plan in advance? Maybe noting that if anything was left out, you would 'fail'. Were you warned about anything else this semester, like being late,

  9. I hate nursing school !

    neuron replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I'm dreading Sunday's too. Clinical for me is worse than

  10. Would you take a pay cut to be a CNA?

    neuron replied to shycat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Depending on what area you are in, I would become a CNA PRN (2 days/week if possible). I worked as a CNA full time for 1 year and I felt like I did it for 20! OTOH, when you are in nursing school, you...

  12. Normal Saline q24 orders

    neuron posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, I am a student and we just finished our first clinical, and first semester. I wanted to post this in General Nursing because I need answers from an experienced nurse. The issue I am having is...

  13. Normal Saline q24 orders

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you all for answers. I believe I am missing information because it was my first time seeing 2 and 3 antibiotics used during the course of a shift and having to stop one infusion to proceed with...

  14. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I need some advice. I have an instructor who is repeatedly abusive. She has over 30 years of experience and constantly harasses students. If it is not done her way, then she will fail them. I...

  15. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    I don't speak to my professors this way, and I am trying to manage my responses or offenses. If Rocknurse really meant no harm, then I am sorry for responding in that way. I am not military style. I...

  16. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Rocknurse, Why didn't you read my second (?) post to you? I don't believe in a threatening environment. You are telling me to just tolerate it. Gosh, maybe I won't become a nurse. You showed a lack of...

  17. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    We have different clinical instructors and they all teach a different ways. You are unfortunate to get the bad apple. I understand there are standards, the whole deal, but when professors don't own up...

    It does indicate her attitude toward her patients. That's

  19. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but 'hearing what I want' is not an option for me. I work very hard in my nursing program, and if I am not the only student who has a problem with this professor, then it is not 'just my...

  20. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Sorry, it's nurses like you that I don't want to deal with. That attitude is precisely what I don't find attractive. To me that is what nursing has become. A profession that nurses 'lack compassion to...

    neuron replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    Nursing isn't for you. Why post about it? There are plenty of great nurses and they are needed. In the U.S. they make great amounts of money in a great environment. This isn't Europe. We aren't mad at...

    If possible, always have a prn job. There is always something or someone who doesn't like

    neuron replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    Nursing to me is no longer a 'female' field. Nurses do a lot of things that are traditionally male. Nurses are more 'tech-ie'. At my job there is no second thought of a 'male' nurse. It's just second...

  24. Question re medication

    neuron posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I am not looking for medical advice, but I wanted to know if anyone has any experience being on medication and in nursing school - to the point where you have to get retention? I am reluctant to...

  25. Question re medication

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    The issue is that is has caused a problem. I had to let an instructor know, because it affected my grade. I don't want to give too many details as it is unique to myself, but I already spoke to her so...
