  1. Questions and Concerns - Current Nursing Student

    FashionablyL8 replied to chichimel's topic in General Students

    Have you asked to review the exam with your instructor to see what you got wrong? I would give that a try to see if there's a particular area you aren't getting. Mental health is so different...

  2. Tired of the Fluff

    FashionablyL8 replied to Ms.DR34D's topic in General Students

    One of my favorite instructors told us,"The power points aren't for you students- they're for me." She explained that they were for her- exactly as Newishnurse said, they help her organize her...

  3. Is it normal to feel this way?

    FashionablyL8 replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Normal. A few of my residents get on my last nerve with their behaviors. It's usually the ones who are high functioning, devious and manipulative. I think that as long as annoyance never crosses into...

  4. Nasal cannulas behind the head

    FashionablyL8 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I work with developmentally delayed adults. Some individuals just can't resist any type of tubing and although we have orders for mitts, they're not secure enough to deter our more determined...

  5. Parent harassing me in clinic

    FashionablyL8 replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    I agree with the advice to refuse any more "visits" from this woman, file a police report and report this to the DON. The fact that she has CPS involvement and she is expending time and energy on...

  6. Please Help

    FashionablyL8 replied to guest1136129's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the post is either a troll, an actual father who deleted his account when he didn't receive the unequivocal support he wanted OR (long shot) an upset new nurse with some issues posting as...

  7. Desperately need advice and encouragement

    FashionablyL8 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fullglass, that is amazing. You're an inspiration to

  8. Desperately need advice and encouragement

    FashionablyL8 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let your age stop you. If you have wanted to be a nurse this long, it's not just a passing interest. I'm 50 and finally in nursing school, although I'm going for my LPN because I love bedside...

  9. Nursing Home, chronic understaffing, and dealing with profit driven business owners?

    FashionablyL8 replied to AnOldsterRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not a nurse yet- in an LPN program and will graduate in 2021. However, I've been a PCA, HHA, CNA and now a med tech/direct support staff for many years. I used to do private duty, then was offered...

  10. Saying No to extra shifts, is it bad if you're new?

    FashionablyL8 replied to AngelaB236's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it unless you want your phone blowing up every day you have off. I'm not a nurse yet (student) but have seen this in my facility. The more "agreeable" and newer staff get called constantly,...

  11. Punishment for “neglect” as CNA not state tested?

    FashionablyL8 replied to Futur3Nur53's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the nurse reported you to the DON, you may be out of a job depending on how he or she views the situation. Beyond that, I don't see how you would be disciplined too severely for not covering the...

  12. Am I too stupid to be a nurse?

    FashionablyL8 replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I was just going to suggest adult day health or a group home for DD. I've been a med tech at a group home for over 6 years now and love it. The nursing job at a group home sounds great too. We only...

  13. Recording Lectures?

    FashionablyL8 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi Everyone, I'm starting my nursing program this month- can't believe it's finally here! A former student at my school (graduated) advised me to ask permission to record the teachers giving lectures....

  14. NANDA nursing dx- unsure about "related to" part

    FashionablyL8 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi Everyone, I'll try to make this brief. I'm in the 2nd month of my LPN program and we are doing our 1st care plan on a case study. I'll try not to only write the important things but here's the...

  15. Nursing instructor question

    FashionablyL8 replied to SummerOlaf's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school and in this term, we will just be starting our clinicals and doing very limited nursing care with actual patients, which is how it should be since many...

  16. Should, I giveup?

    FashionablyL8 replied to cjp1994's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think you sound stupid at all. The answers you gave were reasonable, especially since it doesn't sound like you were given a lot of background info with the questions. You're a student; you're...

  17. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    FashionablyL8 replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse yet, I'm an LPN student in my third week of school. So definitely not an expert. OP, you've already gotten great advice from many people who ARE experts with years of experience as...

  18. Advice for a new CNA?

    FashionablyL8 replied to Clover19's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi, welcome to the world of healthcare ?. I just started my first semester of nursing school- my first day was last week actually. However, I've been a CNA/med tech for a while. OK, it will probably...

  19. How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    FashionablyL8 replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    I remove my shoes right inside the mudroom door and strip, carry scrubs inside out rolled in a bundle to the laundry and then go immediately to shower. Lol this made me think of the Nurse Jackie...

  20. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    FashionablyL8 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi Everyone, Sorry to start another topic but I couldn't find info on this in a search. My school offers nursing equipment kits for $140. They have the basic nursing supplies, most of which I...

  21. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Ok, heard back from my director. We have to buy the nursing kit from them. All that obsessing for nothing. She's so busy with paperwork, I didn't have the heart to ask her for a list of the contents....

  22. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Hey Everyone, Sorry for not replying sooner! Been trying to get everything bought and ready for school like the notebooks, binders, tabs, flash drive- it's been so long since I've been in school and...

  23. Nursing Equipment Kit from school- worth it?

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your replies, everyone. Geri7404, I agree- the school should have a list of what their kit includes. The kit I saw online even had BF cuffs. I bought my own for my CNA program but it's so...

  24. Recording Lectures?

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    More great ideas- thanks to all of you! That's what I was thinking, that I could listen to the recordings during my drive to work, at home, etc. Might help some of the information really sink in. I...

  25. Recording Lectures?

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the ideas and info, everyone ?. Now I know about Anki, the SmartPen and LiveScribe Desktop, and Sonocet audio notetaker. I'm happy to know about different study aids because it's been...
