  3. Med Surg block 2 Fluid and Electrolytes

    You could also interpret the question as asking what pathophysiology or underlying disorder might cause a particular electrolyte imbalance. Such as hypernatremia can be as a result of diarrhea or...

  5. Is crosswalk/ traffic safety an appropriate Community Health rotation?

    erinmarie320 replied to not_batman's topic in General Students

    Depending on how much freedom you have with the presentation, input, and involvement, it could be considered preventative, or 'upstream' as they say in my program, nursing. You can talk with the kids...

  6. Midterm/test reviews?

    erinmarie320 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all, just looking for some input from anyone that can help! What is/was your nursing school's policy on reviewing midterms, tests or finals? Could you set up a time with the professors, or did...

  7. Midterm/test reviews?

    erinmarie320 replied to erinmarie320's topic in General Students

    Lol I'm not only getting one question wrong. I hadn't realized how my original post sounded until I saw this. I get more than one answer wrong, I just meant even if I was able to only get one wrong...

  9. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    erinmarie320 replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    Yes, luckily for her the judge ruled in her favor as it was apparent that she did not mean any harm and had the most innocent of motives. However, there is no denying the struggle she went through...

    erinmarie320 replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    As others have states I admire your enthusiasm, and share your interest in all things medical- especially OR. But I think the major question you need to ask yourself in this situation, and any...

  11. Are clinicals flexible?

    erinmarie320 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    As previous posters have mentioned, it will depend on your school and community whether a car is necessary. For my school it is written right in the student handbook, and in pre-application...

  12. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    erinmarie320 replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with you ProfRN4. Lots of people could get through the interview process and be weeded out later, or even worse make it through nursing school and be poor RNs. However, this gentleman...

  13. Squeamish Students?

    erinmarie320 replied to mofomeat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love this site! It's a strange thing, surgeries fascinate me but venipuncture and IV insertion make me queasy

  14. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    erinmarie320 replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    Our school kicks people out every semester, as well as the students that fail or drop out. Last semester they kicked out 7 students, for a plethora of reasons. Some examples include: 1) being...

    Thanks mariebailey and hodgieRN! I really appreciate the suggestions, and will try to find opportunities to do these! Hopefully they work for me

  16. Squeamish Students?

    erinmarie320 replied to mofomeat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any tips for getting over this? I am not squeamish and do not have a weak stomach for any body fluid, including blood. I don't mind being elbow deep in anything lol. However, venipuncture and IVs are...

  18. Rate of sexual harassment occurrences at a hospital?

    erinmarie320 replied to lis4b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you are referring to sexual harassment in these statements I must emphatically disagree. I was not a 'willing participant' when my 350lb pharmacist manager pinned me up against a counter when...

  19. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    erinmarie320 replied to madwife2002's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. The only years I've gotten sick are the ones I've been forced to get the vaccine for school, so I don't feel it helped. I've also had similar reactions to it as you, but nothing medically...

  20. Is your Facility 'forcing' you to get the Flu Vaccine?

    erinmarie320 replied to madwife2002's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At our nursing school we must have it to get into the program. If we don't get them every year while in school, we are automatically booted out, with very few exceptions. It is unfortunate for those...

    erinmarie320 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hey all, I'm a nursing student in Alberta, set to graduate next December. I really want to do my final focus in the OR, and if that's not possible I would like to work in the OR someday. The only...

  22. Tattoos in the OR

    erinmarie320 replied to erinmarie320's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks for your reply! You've given me hope at least! And if it was a matter of choice, I definitely would go with 1/2 or 1/4 sleeves. Alas, I have full sleeves already that are a decade old I got...
