  1. Regrets after regrets!

    studentnurseASN replied to Toaster's topic in General Nursing

    My two cents. Try working with driving instructors to become familiar with your car. Study up on maps. Practice driving back and forth from different parts of the community. Give yourself more time...

  2. Can I get Fired?

    studentnurseASN replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not using IV meds on yourself, I think it's all right. If some patients are disturbed seeing an IV on you, they might say something to

  3. Dealing with a difficult preceptor as a RN Student

    studentnurseASN replied to GOODMED's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's good that your daughter does recognize her differences with the preceptor early. In the past when I had differences with people I tried to take my time to understand them more slowly. It has...

  4. 1 year in and lost - advice please

    studentnurseASN replied to TammyTho's topic in General Nursing

    While talking with nurses about jobs they have told me ICU and stepdown are very intense units. Some units will not take new grads because of it. I'm not sure where you live but there are a lot of...

  5. My First Write Up

    studentnurseASN replied to berrynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses have told me that incidents like these happen more in nursing than people think. People getting written up for doing their jobs. Even non nursing staff get disgusted by it. Some managers I...

  6. Should I have accessed her port?

    studentnurseASN replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    Hope this post will clarify what I meant: It depends on the unit and the hospital. One med surge floor for a specialty hospital, nurses would use the PIV if patients were stable. In med surge units...

  7. Should I have accessed her port?

    studentnurseASN replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    A few nurses on the floor have told me that if no one was accessing the port in the first place, then the patient can't raise an

  8. My First Write Up

    studentnurseASN replied to berrynurse's topic in General Nursing

    From the sound of it, this does seem petty. It sounds like you were helping an unstable patient. I use to work as a tech in hospitals. I have heard of nurses receiving verbal warnings for not working...

  12. 'graduated' but could not sit for NCLEX

    studentnurseASN replied to studentnurseASN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have talked with nurses who have graduated. They said it is up to the school to decide whether or not you can sit for the boards, or award students a degree. I was fortunate with my situation. I...

    studentnurseASN replied to studentnurseASN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just called my school. They said that I can remediate on my second attempt and my third attempt if my VATI tutor said that it was okay. She said that she hopes I could remediate on my second attempt...

  14. HELP!!! I Dont Know How To Study

    studentnurseASN replied to Kirsten81774's topic in General Students

    From what I noticed with math, it is learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide large numbers, decimals and fractions. Looking for content online is a great practice. E-books offer a very good...

  17. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

    studentnurseASN replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

    I have dealt with this as a nursing student before from more than one instructor. Most of them ranting about how tired they are about the nursing profession while not teaching. I was also a minority...

  18. BSN Online vs On Campus

    studentnurseASN replied to ColletteRN's topic in Nursing Career

    From what I understand it depends on location and demand. Some places will have direct connections with hospitals and institutions for direct hire if students go through their program via classroom or...

    studentnurseASN replied to SKayeS528's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    studentnurseASN replied to studentnurseASN's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I'm planning to get in touch with different places, including hospitals, to find a realistic way to gain experience while in school. It's difficult for me to work full-time (FT) right

  22. Nursing Externships

    studentnurseASN replied to studentnurseASN's topic in General Students

    I'll keep that in mind. What is the best way to gain experience as a student nurse besides working as either a nurse tech, or a CNA? Right now, I'm not looking for full-time work because of nursing...
