  1. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    ellaballet replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I don't think I really understand about the bag hitting, like was she winding up and punching it over and over? Strange. Even if you bring it up to your clinical program any of the hundreds of people...

  2. Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    ellaballet replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    If you were a patient in a hospital would you really want a robot putting a catheter in? I think unfortunately nurses being replaced more and more by UAPs might be a bigger possibility in the near...

  3. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    ellaballet replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry your classmate hit your purse, but bringing it up to your clinical coordinator will just make the "palpable tension" between you and your classmates worse. However, if you're worried about...

  4. MCPHS

    ellaballet replied to CiaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm a student at the Worcester campus. I wasn't even aware that they offered a ABSN program at the Boston campus, I thought Worcester or Manchester were the only options. That would have been good to...

    ellaballet replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

  7. New ABSN student overwhelmed by reading assignments

    ellaballet replied to guest99$3's topic in General Students

    I'm bad - I don't do any of the readings unless I'm struggling to understand a concept from class. I do all of the workbook questions, and skim through the diagrams and chapter review questions before...

  9. How hard is your nursing school?

    ellaballet replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Students

  10. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    ellaballet replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    All depends on what type of student you are and how you learn! Life is hard to schedule. The hardest part about that schedule for me would be waking up at 4:30 on the

  11. Using "Medical" terms

    ellaballet replied to Episteme's topic in General Students

    I've been told the same thing as many of the other replies - we can use it in the r/t part of the diagnosis. My teacher encourages us to use "Impaired gas exchanged related to disease process" instead...

    ellaballet replied to JoanRN05's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I learned it in both fundamentals and pharmacology this semester and I still struggled with acidosis/alkalosis when it came down to finals. Analyzing blood gasses and differing between the symptoms of...

  16. Med terminology class?

    ellaballet replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I took one before I started nursing school and have found it very, very helpful so far. If you don't know what a word means, knowing all of the stems and being able to break it down makes it easier to...

  17. Manager "threatening" us with primary nursing!!!

    ellaballet replied to lelafin's topic in General Nursing

    I would have been 100% more satisfied with my last tech job if we were staffed better. When I started working there it was 1 aide for every 6 patients, by the time I left when school started I was the...

  18. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    ellaballet replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I hate when people whip out an apple or a super noisy snack in the middle of a quiet lecture. I get if you gotta eat, you gotta eat. But I get distracted really easily, so people rumpling a bag of...

  21. My turn to rant :)

    ellaballet replied to 203bravo's topic in General Students

    The school I went to for my first undergrad degree actually forbid teachers from making assignments due/having quizzes the last week of class before finals! We were spoiled, it was quite the...
