OK, so I have read that there are different ways to organize your "brains" and I believe this means your patient information that you've received on report. I have never heard it referred to this way on the floor though. Anyway, it would be great to ...

Great article!

Does anyone have any tips on how to set up a report sheet in order to facilitate good organization? I graduated last week and will start my first nursing job in July. I have read that some nurses call the report sheet a "brain" and there are multip...

Yes, that was me! I private messaged you. Dee

Are you a new freshman? Selden or Grant campus? I'm at Selden, a senior. Dee

Hmmm funny but 350lbs is not necessarily that 'fat' that you would lose a hand and arm in the folds. My husband is over 350 but since he is also 6'9" it is well distributed, but yes he is still quite plump/fat. Oh-and he definitely could assume the ...

I have to say my opinions are a little different then most posted so far. I think I can understand what the OP was trying to say. I believe that my school is actually making that transition to a "kinder, gentler" program, so to speak. I am one of ...

I will get my ADN May 2007. I'm hoping to immediately enter a BSN-MSN online program after graduation. So much work to do this year, so many senior activities to work on, so many freshman to train LOL Its gonna be great! Dee Laskowski SCCC-Ammerman...

You definitely have to go try on some shoes for yourself. I saw a lot of negative posts about Nursemates last summer when I was looking. I bought them anyway because they were the only ones in the store that were the style I needed for school (no s...

I attend Suffolk County Community College-Ammerman campus. Will graduate May 07. I intend to apply to Stony Brook for the bachelor's to Master's program after graduation. Is anybody active in their school student nurse association?

that green color is pretty hard to read, or maybe its just my monitor. i go to suffolk county community college school of nursing. i'm not sure what the min gpa is, maybe 2.5 but i don't think anybody gets in with the minimum. you want to have the...

Thanks for sharing those "rules" I love to know the right way of doing things. I have a question regarding wearing the pin. If you are in a nursing position where you do not wear a uniform, possibly a lab coat if anything, maybe you are an NP...can...

The next Nursing Student association of NY State conference is March 11th in White Plains NY. You can get to their site at http://www.nsanys.org You can also find conference info at http://www.nursingspectrum.com

I disagree. Maybe the original post was just a vent (that's the way I saw it) but the latter post directed at the person you are writing to is definitely angry in tone and very nasty. I too hope that I won't be as (seemingly) unhappy after 1 1/2...

:yeahthat:

1st child was 5 weeks premature-breastfed and formula 6 months I didn't know better! That was 18 years ago 2nd child -14 months 3rd child - 3 1/2 yrs

Not to start another "fire" but if this was in reference to Danu's post...I actually appreciated it and think I understand where it was coming from. I read many posts but rarely make my own because I usually find that someone eventually writes what ...

There's been some consternation in my school this year over "striping," up until last year there were caps and the freshman got stripes at the same time that the seniors got pinned (it is an AD program). Then our new dean decided to do away with str...

As a first year (first semester) RN student, I may be putting my foot in my mouth but I do believe that I recently learned that only an RN can ASSESS a patient. LPNs are able to gather data but not assess. I'm not sure if this is a state by state r...

YOu can come up with some really cute nursing related items on ebay. Just search "nurse" or "nursing". For my friend's recent birthday I picked up a great black tote embroidered with "RN here to help" and an adorable Nurse purse/bag charm keychain....

Thanks so much for the compassion. After so many years go by (10) nobody quite gets it, that the pain is never gone. I very rarely discuss it with people in person, online is so much easier. Yes I am in school now, my first semester of clinical so...

Oh but he is soooo cute! He doesn't need a storyline. I miss Carol Hathaway. I remember the very first ER episode. Hadn't she tried to commit suicide? hmmm

I read all these posts and cried my eyes out . It is so amazing to see all of the nurses with so much love and compassion. I have to say I have not experienced that brand of nursing care here in NY. My oldest son was born five weeks early, weigh...
