  1. Smokers need not apply?

    Personally I am glad this rule is being implemented. I have requested a different nurse before because the one I had reeked of cigarette smoke. Like other posters have stated, if you dont like the rule, don't work there. Or quit smoking.
  2. Clinical uniforms?

    Just curious, what are you required to wear on clinical days? We have to wear a navy scrub top with white pants and white shoes. Better than all white I suppose but I would rather have all navy.
  3. Marijuana and Nursing School

    My thoughts. Also, are you aware that marijuana can be laced with other drugs, cocaine, etc., that can form addiction after one use?

  6. Clinical vs. Biological Death

    So I am being a good little nurse student and studying on Labor Day weekend.... Reading through the chapter I've come upon clinical and biological death. Is there a difference? Both are pretty much defined the same in my book (cessation of vital func...

  9. Its offical 9/4/13 class starts

    I'm in a vocational/career tech school (also attended a community college in the past) and so far I am liking the votech much more. It may just be a difference in the instructors style of teaching but the school is approved and has a very good track ...
  10. Taking notes

    Does your instructor use power points, or are you just taking notes as the instructor speaks? If it is power points, ask the instructor if you can have a print off of them. Or if it is only a verbal lecture I would do like the PP suggested and use a...

  13. Why do nurses clean off their shoes at work?

  17. Bombed first exam

  18. I had to quit nursing school in 2009 because I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and I was very very sick. At the time I hated school too and thought that nursing was not for me. After my doctor and I got things straightened out and I was in remi...

  21. Soooo much school work!

    Are there objectives at the beginning of each chapter? If so try to focus on those. I also make flash cards of just the terms and definitions on the quizlet app so I can study them whenever, wherever I am.

  23. Tomorrow is first day of nursing school and I'm freaking out

    Hey you. I just wanna give you a big hug.
  25. Have we lost the "art" of nursing?

    Today our whole class period was on compassion and that nursing is not only a science but is also an art. Our instructor showed us a beautiful video called Communicating with Compassion. I was in awe of a study that was repeated multiple times on rab...
