I'm leaving allnurses because of EXACTLY the same problem. Can you believe they put an "infraction" under my profile because I "publicly argued with a moderator"...I now have a "criminal record" here on allnurses and anybody who reads my profile can see it ?!?! Isn't that silly and just plain stupid? Outa here!!!!!

I don't think that this was a serious post,you find the most bizarre people around the holidays surifng the net, driving around town. and even showing up at the gym ... makes you scratch your head where they suddenly come from.

:balloons: Congratulations:balloons:

Good lord, do you also speak like you write?

Congratulations:balloons::balloons::balloons:

Thanks so much for your reply. I will definitely get those books I need all the help I can get particularly since I don't have a "Spring chicken" brain anymore. I am starting Fundmentals on August 27th.

I also heard that it is MedSurg at our school

At my school you can't take A&P2 unless you have passed A&P1 with a C or better. A&P and Micro are very demanding classes and I wouldn't recommend taking them both together, not if your goal is to make A's.

I have a question for you since you are a senior nursing student. I've had people recommed to get an NCLEX RN Review book to help make it thru nursiing school, How soon should I get one, Will it help me off to a good start? Thanks for your input.

:yeahthat:

I volunteered at the operating room desk, talk about a crash course in Medical terminology LOL...they scheduled all the surgeries and put in info into the computer after the surgeries, Help was always in demand!!!! I helped out with retrieving records, taking specimen to the lab (gall stones, biopsy samples you name it I saw it all ), Can't count the trips to the X-ray department etc....it was very busy and I even helped out with calming the relatives. You'll also get to be the psychologist for the staff I was always there if anyone needed to vent, or a little chat break for the OR techs after being in the OR for a few hours, and many told me about their troubles etc. However, I also had some patient contact particularly early Monday mornings, I always calmed the children down that needed to get tubes put into their ears, many were afraid after their parents left. I read to them, joked with them, I'd bring them little trinkets and stickers etc. I don't remember having too much adult patient contact though. I absolutely loved going every time. After a while everyone new me and I knew everyone in the entire hospital. It was awesome Oh, and I was always invited to their get-togethers...picnics etc. I felt very valued by all those wonderful people.

Some people just don't get it
