  1. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    SilverOwl replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If this is true, it seems sloppy to me that a physician would somehow not know what they were signing too. If they're signing an automated form, I would think they should be very familiar to it to...

  2. Unbinding books?

    SilverOwl replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

    I am strongly considering this too, but as ebailey1218 suggests, I'm going to wait until the first week of classes or so and see how manageable it is to just bring the texts along, or if that will...

  3. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    SilverOwl replied to the healer's art's topic in General Students

    Me too! I think mine is by BlackHawk though. I plan to trade off between my huge leather Banana Republic tote, my VeraBradley tote, and the pack. The whole rolling bag thing is definitely NOT for...

    wow, that last one's a doozy... thanks for this, it's a good list of what NOT to do for us

  5. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    SilverOwl replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This whole discussion is interesting and enlightening. I'd just like to share that as a Vet Tech I draw with 22 and 25g needles regularly when taking blood from cats and kittens (TEENY veins!!) and...

  6. Helpful websites for content/review...and a pep talk :)

  7. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    SilverOwl replied to DemosthenesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OCRN63 I see that my post upset you; let me try to explain my viewpoint a bit. To me, your "smartness" or intelligence should be demonstrated by your capabilities, not whether you wear glasses......

  10. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    SilverOwl replied to DemosthenesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Fake braces are all the rage in Japan... don't believe me? look it up!! As someone who can't see without her glasses or contacts, this whole idea is just ludicrous. Wear eye protection when you need...

  14. College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    SilverOwl replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I am soo picky about this: college ruled ONLY, white legal pads ONLY ... I HATE loose-leaf and can't stand the rings on spirals, so there you go.

  15. Got Accepted to Nursing School and Prestige Factor

    SilverOwl replied to sevenup0307's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I doubt most people have any idea how hard it is to get into nursing school... also I don't know what type of program you got into, but "nursing school" is a broad term covering everything from LPN...

  16. First Day of Nursing School

    SilverOwl replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    I hear you loud and clear on that one!! The reality of going down to a single income in less than 2 months is starting to set in and it's more than scary. I start an accelerated bsn on 9/3 and don't...

  17. Pathophysiology online?

    SilverOwl replied to djaltic's topic in General Students

    I took Patho online because I am only interested in 1 specific program and my program waives the lab component, also I was improving a very old grade. I liked taking it online and it was easy for me...

    SilverOwl replied to AlmondB10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey ladies/everyone! Congrats on all the acceptances!! For those of us who are waitlisted **gnashing of teeth.....** would someone who has gotten their acceptance packet be so kind as to post what...

    SilverOwl replied to AlmondB10's topic in Post Graduate Students
