    You get a lunch break? How lucky!! I don't. I think you just need to suck it up and move on. What are you going to do if you have coworkers who act like this? You can't go running to your boss every...

    What do nurses think about doulas?

    Someone said stop hating on doulas. Not the same thing. You asked for opinions and now you seem to be very defense about our responses. Why ask if you can't handle different

    What do nurses think about doulas?

    Not for me AT ALL, but I think if mother and baby are healthy and the mother feels more comfortable with that, then who cares. Typically people who want a hospital birth and pain meds (me, whenever I...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    And? Why does it matter if they go get another snack other than the noise bothers you. Maybe they are still hungry. And someone who is diabetic or hypoglycemic has every right to eat in class. Why...
  16. But there is a difference between a study bank and a test bank. If the OP bought a study bank, that's one thing. If they bought a test bank, well, that's an entirely different type of

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    Have you asked these people why they are always eating in class. Maybe they get hypoglycemic if they don't eat. Maybe they just left work and didn't get to eat. Maybe they have a medical condition and...

    Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    No I don't think all the advice is bad. And I agree that the students shouldn't be hanging out at the nurses station or sitting at the computers. But we also have rules as students like not entering a...

    Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    2 months out and it like you've already forgotten what it's like to be a student. I agree that the students shouldn't sit at the nurses station. We aren't allowed to even if we are in the chart. But...
