   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   Let me get this straight. You guys hijacked my post to rain on my parade and now you're telling me I cannot take constructive criticism and I won't do well in my professional career. You guys have no idea what happened. I didn't even give you the ...

   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   Alright, I'm done defending myself. I feel good about what I did. None of you were there and didn't see what happened and what I did. I'm going to happy despite all of your comments.

   Let's just hope I never have to put my CPR skills to practical use!

   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   Seriously, I'm trying to share good news and you're literally shutting me down. I'm not looking for someone to point out everything I did wrong. I'm happy at what I did and I know I showed sound clinical judgment. Perhaps you can be a black cloud ...

   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   I told his girlfriend to drive him because the hospital is literally down the street from the arena. The ambulances are dispatched out of a completely different city, and it would have taken longer to get an ambulance there than for her to drive him...

   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   Thank you for the input. Glad to know I'm not alone. I want to wear all the cute shirts and fun fabrics, but I know I'd sweat through anything in five minutes flat.

   My husband plays hockey, and last night I was at his game when one of his teammates had a hard fall onto the ice. There were only a few of us in the stands watching, and I heard one of the players going to the opposing team's side asking if anyone w...

   RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

   We aren't required to have malpractice insurance at our school. I don't have health insurance because I literally cannot afford it. Insurance rates in my area are through the roof. For my husband and I, the cheapest health insurance we could find ...

    Nope, I'm 100% healthy with normal BG and BP.

11. Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I've tried every deodorant around. I'm at the point where I need alternative options just to keep the sweat marks at bay. I'm more looking for clothing ideas, not deodorant.

12. Stethoscope/BPcuff?

    RunninNurse replied to FrogRN15's topic in General Students

    That really depends on how hard you want to make assessments on yourself. I tried to be cheap when I started nursing school and bought a low-end stethoscope. Big mistake. When it came to assessing breath sounds I couldn't hear crap. I thought it ...

13. Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    So, as I wrote in my original post I cannot go to the doctor for this. I do not have health insurance because I cannot afford even the cheapest offering for it right now. While I'd love to get a prescription for this problem, it's either choosing b...

    RunninNurse replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    Oh yes, I've tried everything and then some. I'm at the point where I'm just living with it and trying to find a way to make it less noticeable.

15. Student nurses, what will you different when you have student's?

    RunninNurse replied to stunurs08's topic in General Students

    I've talked about this exact topic with my cohort this last week. During our last quarter of nursing school we have the opportunity to be "Management Students" and essentially act as clinical instructors to the first quarter students. I remember be...
