  2. Emetophobia

    Bouncyball replied to giarose2007's topic in General Nursing

  4. Is this a Med Error? I have been kicked from clinical. Help

    Bouncyball replied to nursing?s's topic in General Students

    I don't think that is a medication error. You should not have been failed. Have they been picking on you all semester and waiting for you you make a mistake, or did that come out of nowhere? My...

  5. How Many Schools Did You Apply For?

    Bouncyball replied to mxDP95's topic in General Students

  7. Starting nursing school in the Spring. REALLY nervous. TIPS??

    Bouncyball replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about the tattoos. There are 6 people in my class that are fully sleeved. They have to wear long sleeved scrub tops over their regular scrub tops. We are not allowed to wear shirts under...

  8. Clinical Instructor and Student Nurse Relationship (have you encountered?)

    Bouncyball replied to Lee_Uy's topic in General Students

  9. Fall semester is almost over. How did everyone do?

    Bouncyball replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Bouncyball replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not dissecting an animal does not mean you are saving the life of an animal. They are still dead

  11. Accepted into program...needing advice.

    Bouncyball replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kylnn, It is definitely easier said than done. I understand where you are coming from. My boyfriend (that I have lived with for 6 years) almost got transferred 350 miles away and I still had a year...

  12. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

    Bouncyball replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What does being a vegetarian have to do with anything? You don't have to eat the animals, only dissect them. They are already dead, they don't kill animals just so students can cut them

  13. Accepted into program...needing advice.

    Bouncyball replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I was in your situation I would go for it. It makes more sense to go the direct route and get your bsn, especially because you we're already accepted. Does your husband work 3 days in a row? If so...

  14. LAHC OR COUNTY.

    Bouncyball replied to positivemind11's topic in California Nursing

    Classes are great : ) I will graduate in May if everything continues to go well. Working in that terrible place is just a distant memory now. It all worked out. life seems to have a funny way of...

  16. Breaking it to the boss...

    Bouncyball replied to Virgilio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ya, I remember having to tell my boss I got into nursing school. I was stressed about not knowing when to tell them. I waited until 2 weeks before class started and then told them. They laid me off...

  18. How long did it take you to gather your pt info?

    Bouncyball replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    How many pts do you have to pick? How much information do you have to collect? I have 4 pts and it takes me between 30-45 minutes per pt. In the beginning it used to take m about a hour and a half per...

  19. What to do when your patient adores you?

    Bouncyball replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Here is what I say if I get asked for contact information or invited somewhere: " I'm sorry but the hospital and my school has a policy that says once I have someone as a patient I am not allowed to...

  20. What Pre-Requisites should I stack?

    Bouncyball replied to Takari's topic in LPN to RN

  24. How do you find balance?

    Bouncyball replied to HoneySyn's topic in General Students

    It takes time to find a balance. What helped me was getting organized. I got a big calendar and wrote down my classes and days of tests/ assignments due. Then in a different color pens I will schedule...

    Bouncyball replied to Bouncyball's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
