  1. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl posted a topic in General Students

    Just my opinion, but schools make it easy harder than it has to be. You can't be a minute late, your uniform had better have 1980's creases, your hair band has to match your hair, some require you to...

  2. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Some of us may be a little unconventional, but it takes all kinds. Our class had older people, younger people, experienced and lay people, tattooed people, religious and non-religious, different...

  3. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    What gives instructors the knowledge to "weed students out"? I can understand if someone were not being safe or doing something that could harm a patient. However, my experience tells me that some...

  4. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    fangirl replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have gay and lesbian lesbian coworkers and patients. The way I see it is what happens between consenting adults behind the closed doors of their home is not my business or the business of anyone...

  5. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Let's discuss professionalism for a few. The facility in which I work has all sorts of nurses. One who wears tie dyed scribe everyday, a male who has hair to his butt and a beard who would make the...

  6. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    I talked to a good trusted friend and the school had recently before I started fired a lot of staff and started all over. Maybe it as a lack of knowledge, on their part, or maybe just a power trip. I...

  7. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    My point of too hard on purpose, is things such as, insisting on hairbands matching your hair, I understand not wearing a huge pink now, but the detail is a little unneeded. Forcing you to call your...

  8. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    Sjalv thanks for taking the time to year apart my post and show people an example of nety. Anyone knows an incorrect medication could harm or kill a patient. My point was we were made to copy the drug...

  9. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    I did appeal, didn't win. They refused to let me back in, refused to write a letter so I could join a sister school and start in second semester again, so I had to change schools and go back to first...

  11. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    I've been a nurse for a year now. Schools, I say schools because I've had nursing courses at two, both experiences were the same. A girl was kicked out because her TB test verification was in her car,...

  12. Starting nursing school in three weeks, what am I forgetting?

    fangirl replied to Chelonophile's topic in General Students

    My advice is on tests, remember this, don't delegate teaching or assessing, don't leave the patient and don't choose to do nothing. If a test question asks you about a patient, pretend you have a...

  14. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    fangirl replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a few gay patients and a few openly gay male nurses. As long as they do their job, who cares what they do at

  15. Male catheters

    fangirl replied to libran1984's topic in Men in Nursing

    As a nurse, I always take a CNA or another nurse with me for a catheter insertion. I usually take a CNA when dealing with a man and I take another nurse when dealing with a female. My logic is because...

    fangirl replied to raiisfun's topic in Nursing Humor

    We had a birthday party for a lol and she asked, "how old am I?" We told her her age and she said, "damn, I'm gonna die soon!" She laughed at herself after that

  21. Your first experience with a dead person

    fangirl replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember the first death I saw as a CNA, but I remember the first I had as a nursing student. It was during my precepting hours. It was a woman who seemed to have nine lives. She had been...

    fangirl replied to fangirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    First time I had passed meds. Didn't give the last ones due for the shift as it was too early. Second nurse didn't give the last ones either. A ton of med errors. Learning experience. Lesson

    fangirl posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm so mad, upset and lost right now. I want to post the story, but it's probably wise not to open my mouth. Just say a prayer for the newbies out there. Please and thank

    fangirl posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a new nurse looking for advice. We have several dementia/ confused patients. I have the hardest time getting them to take their meds. A few clench their teeth as hard as possible. It's the am pass...

    fangirl posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've had six shifts training, my last three, I've been pulled to work as a CNA. I don't mind working the floor as a aide, that's not my gripe. My point is that I can't get any training because they...
