  1. question about personal boundaries

    studentnursemon86 replied to sghanem1's topic in Home Health

    Considering how some things can go with home care, this sounds so silly. You didn't ask them to buy a bunny. They asked you on your off time on a side business that you have. Would it have been the...

  2. Nauseous vs Nauseated (another grammar lesson)

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And what about impacted

  3. Nauseous vs Nauseated (another grammar lesson)

    studentnursemon86 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    How about affect vs effect? Another fun one that is always

  4. Need advice about clinical

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. Yeah the guidelines say specifically not to come if you are ill with a fever. This is my first (and hopefully only) missed clinical, so I think it will be ok. I will do whatever I can to make...

  5. Need advice about clinical

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If my husband gets home and my heart rate and blood pressure are still as high as they are, then I will be going to the ER anyway. I'm sure they will give me a note as proof( plus my professor is my...

  6. can i become a nurse with pending charges ?

    studentnursemon86 replied to psw2rn's topic in Canada

    Did the charges get dropped? Was it a death or an injury? It all depends on the circumstances. In the US if there is a felony charge then you definitely cannot sit for boards. Misdemeanors are usually...

  7. Need advice about clinical

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. They do a paper form of clinical for make up. We do 8 hour clinicals once a week for 12 weeks. I am concerned about making it up. I am short of breath and my heart is racing. The temp is 101.1...

  8. NSNA

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    They are having one this year that the school pays for through fund raisers. I won't make it though because I work weekends. I will definitely try to go next year, though. I'm sure someone would cover...

  9. My best friend is now a patient on the floor I work on

    studentnursemon86 replied to EmergencyChocolate's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    When in doubt, say nothing. I had a situation where an old high school friend was a patient on my floor. Her family saw me working one day and bombarded me with questions. I didn't have the answers,...

  10. Common things in ER

    studentnursemon86 replied to samantha0890's topic in Emergency

    A common thing in my ER recently is med surg and low level holds. They displaced some nurses and techs due to budget cuts, and because of that they capped units. A 30 bed unit now only holds 24...

  11. NSNA

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Thank you. I will definitely sign up. I'm in a 2 year associates and I can stay with SNAP (the PA chapter) until I complete my

  12. Passed my first Nursing Exam!!!

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my first year of an associates degree program. It is fast paced. I am also working full time night shift. I was so nervous taking my first exam. I worked the weekend before (Friday Saturday...

  13. Hostility

    studentnursemon86 replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    I agree that the faculty had a lot to do with it. Out faculty is there, they are available to students for questions and they are really big on professionalism. I think if it isn't expressed/enforced,...

  14. how many of you actually read all the chapters?

    studentnursemon86 replied to gearedup's topic in General Students

    I focus on what they go over in class, the bold vocabulary in the book, and the boxes of information in the book. If I read my books word for word I am sure to lose my

  15. How's your dating life?

    studentnursemon86 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Married but I only really get to spend quality time with my husband once a

  16. Housekeeping

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    So, I was wondering what the housekeeping staff does at other hospitals. At mine, they are usually given a floor or two. They do the usual mopping and dusting along with emptying trash cans. In the ER...

  17. Housekeeping

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Just tonight. An area of the the ER that has been closed for 4 hours. Garbage and gowns on the floor and Burger King cups laying around... I guess I know what I'll be doing later before day shift...

  19. No call no show?

    studentnursemon86 replied to nurseinthemaking_'s topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I would call out. Put on your big girl(or boy) undies and do it. Give two weeks notice. No/cal no show is unprofessional; and think about the care your patients will get. Working short staffed affects...

  20. Hostility

    studentnursemon86 replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    Wow. My program is an associates degree program; the first lecture we had was on professionalism. Before classes even started we had orientation where the DON told is that unprofessional, rude...

  22. Hostility

    studentnursemon86 replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    I just started an ADN program and so far we are getting along fine. Maybe it's because we are all just starting out; but some of us have experience while others have never worked in a healthcare...

  23. If someone is caught plagiarizing, should they be failed on the spot or get a zero

    studentnursemon86 replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I think what other people do is their problem. You should worry about yourself. I am scared to death of plagiarism. I use whatever resources I can to make sure my papers don't have it. I did it for...

    Wait guys, I need to get some popcorn. I think that will be needed every time I open up this site from now on. ::

  25. Terrible day at clinicals

    studentnursemon86 replied to kkfrn427's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it was wrong of her to tell you to walk. Especially that far in an unsafe area with books in tow. I would've just driven on my own and if she asked, explain the safety
