    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I understand that I am representing the school, however I am an adult and if I chose to leave the clinical site and something happened to me that would be my responsibility not theirs. In other words,...

    I'm not the one who finds the conditions bad. How could I find the conditions bad if I am not even working as a nurse yet? I just read the posts on here and wonder why you all put up with some of the...

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    The nurses don't take on students. That's what I'm trying to explain. We have to stay in our group with our instructor. If we do get lucky and a nurse asks if we want to help do something we have to...

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think clinicals are overwhelming because everything is so new to me and I'm very afraid of making a mistake that will harm a patient. Have you forgotten that feeling or were you always a perfect...

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Not if they want a clear, concise nursing report. By the end of the day I'm impossible to be around +just ask my husband lol). Everyone needs a break and I hear the nurses at the clinical site telling...

    futurepsychrn replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I have a year to go. I decided a long time ago that psych was what I wanted to do, and nothing I've seen thus far has changed my mind. I'm a little older though and have had a loooong time to think...

    futurepsychrn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing
