    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    cracklingkraken replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    From a student perspective, I empathize with the nurses. Bravo for the nurses who actually manage to make the time for students. Really, they look busy enough without having me trail behind them for...

    Internship/volunteering???

    cracklingkraken replied to YoungMaleCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Not really.. volunteering is very limited, at least in my area. It's mostly limited to clerical duties, such as organizing, restocking, etc. And what do you mean how do you gain experience as a CNA...

    Grey's Anatomy might fit you perfectly. I'm petite but not long. And those scrubs were too long but fit perfectly (5'4", 120

    Preparing before graduation

    cracklingkraken posted a topic in General Students

    This year will be my last year of my ADN program before I graduate, get to sit for the NCLEX, and hopefully become an RN after passing. I plan on enrolling into an RN-BSN program, as well as applying...

    @rob: Thanks for your input. I don't know if there are any cardiac rhythm interpretation classes offered nearby, but I'll look into it! And I meant vacation during my breaks before I graduate. Next...

    What will happen if you miss a college class?

    cracklingkraken replied to KAThftf's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience, our first couple classes for my courses were the orientation/introduction phase. So it wasn't uncommon for half of the people to not show up. Missing one class isn't that big of...

    What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    cracklingkraken replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about others, but the advice would not necessarily be to stay single. Rather, choose your partner wisely. Relationships are messy and tend to distract you, especially when you are younger...

    cracklingkraken replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    1. Develop good habits now. It's much harder later on when more obligations arise. 2. A guy who tells you that he cheated on his previous girlfriend will most likely have a repeated occurrence. No...

    Are you referring to a residency program? From what I've researched, a lot of the programs I looked at have a set start date. Some of them have programs starting once a year, and others I saw had 3...

    Another off topic comment, but I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. The doctors don't call nurses by their name. They just say "Nurse, can you do this?" Does that actually happen? And no, I also have that...
