  1. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    cuddlebug replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Actually unvaccinated kids are more likely to have college educated wealthy parents. I don't think that they're all conspiracy theorists. Maybe some have already had a child that became autistic after...

  2. Error and Attitude

    cuddlebug replied to iluvicu's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good example of.."nurses eat their young?" I'm sorry that you had to go through all this BUT think about what this experience has done for you positively. By confronting the situation...

  3. Anyone ever been on the Nutrisystem diet?

    cuddlebug replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nutri System is the most discusting food I have EVER ate. It was so bad that I would rather NOT eat. I would only eat that food if I was on a deserted Island with no other alternative or starving!...

  4. Worried about passing NCLEX after Kaplan due to low scores

    cuddlebug replied to nclexparanoid's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know how you feel because I felt the same. I had terrible anxiety and was so scared that I was going to fail. I repeated the last semester of nursing school because of my low grade. I studied...

  5. Should I say anything?

    cuddlebug posted a topic in General Nursing

    A couple of weeks ago I worked on a unit with another nurse. Now, this day I was late and I called in to let my supervisor know. (funny how things work out for a reason). During this last week I...

    cuddlebug replied to NurseSarah86's topic in General Nursing

  7. Should I say anything?

    cuddlebug replied to cuddlebug's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to start doing a private log. The hard part is that our system of locked narcotics is old. we lock up narcotics in our med carts and write them down on a narc sheet. If I am working on...

    cuddlebug replied to Okiecruffler's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I am a new nurse. I have participated in 2 codes. Just passed my ACLS. The first code was a dead person, found on the floor and was there for who knows how long. I will never forget the patient's...

  9. What would you do if your instructor insulted you in front of the hole class?

    cuddlebug replied to mama4girls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let him/her know that you are bothered by this. Obviously, this person gets thrills from insulting others. For some reason he targeted you. But why should he? You are confident, feel great...

  10. Sleep Disorder/Narcolepsy

    cuddlebug replied to PNP2004's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It is disappointing to me how people in the medical profession can be so unsympathetic. Especially to another nurse who has a problem like narcolepsy. For those who do not know what narcolepsy is...

  13. Does it really cost $131,414/yr to live in CA?

    cuddlebug replied to YoungWiseWoman's topic in California Nursing

  14. Not impressed with clinical group and instructor

    cuddlebug replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I never remember nursing school like that. I think for the most part nursing students are hard workers, eager to learn everything they can. In my opinion MOST of them work off their ....you know...

  15. Kaiser versus the 'Others'

    cuddlebug replied to Fiesta Red's topic in California Nursing

    I felt the same way, a hessitation. My advice is to trust your gut instict. Have you worked in ICU before? Have you ever spent time in a ICU at Kaiser? Kaiser ICU is different than other...

  16. Handling CNAs

    cuddlebug replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    With 4 patients you must be soooo busy. I remember what it was like during preceptorship. If your too busy than delegate it. You are focusing on time management, leadership, charting, skills. Take...

  17. Not impressed with clinical group and instructor

    cuddlebug replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I should say though that in the 4th semester my instructor influenced delegation. If you had 3-4 patients as a nursing student believe me it kept you busy. If you couldn't handle it then we were...

  18. Not impressed with clinical group and instructor

    cuddlebug replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    When I was in my 4th semester of nursing school I was so exausted both physically/mentally. However, when it came to clinical you bet I had my booty in the room with the patients. Sometimes I had 3...

  21. Kaiser versus the 'Others'

    cuddlebug replied to Fiesta Red's topic in California Nursing

    It's very very hard to get into Kaiser to begin with. They "lost" my application 2x's after confirming it made it's destination by fax. From what I heard some Kaiser's are really bad and others are...

    cuddlebug replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in Nursing Career

    All together I think what everyone meant was that its not what is on tv, it can be stressful, be open to critism, and it is alot of hard work to be/become a nurse. Not that you shouldn't but I think...
