  4. I've been looking for signs of burnout, I found them...

    I used to live in Clarksville (dh is active duty). Maybe Martha's group decided not to listen to a know-it-all :rotfl: I'm sure we could do much better!!!!!! Although after the last couple days,...
  5. We have to write up the medical diagnoses also - our instructors have told us to go with the first one listed as that is the patient's most current problem, the why they are in the hospital now. I...
  6. Msm Messenger

    Several people on another board I belong to have had the same problem the last few days. It runs fine if you already have it on your computer, but the download file is apparently infected. Wonder if...
  7. Most of the other clinical groups (16 or 18 total) are at area hospitals - just 2 groups (16 students - 2 different days) got assigned to this LTCF. And it does suck - I realize that next semester...
  8. Waitlists

    "Yikes!!! The CC I am speaking of you have to have tons of prereqs...english, psych, soc, life span, AP I, II and III, Micro, chem, math if you dont pass our,bio and you have to take the CNA course...
  9. Anyone with held old transcripts?

    I will admit that I did withhold an old transcript. Only had a 2.4 GPA when I was 18 :uhoh21: The grades were 15 years old when I applied to the CC here so they weren't transferable anyway. I'm...
  10. Waitlists

    The CC I am attending does not have a wait list. If you don't get accepted you have to re-apply every year!!! The only pre-reqs you technically have to have are A&P I and II (there are a slew of...
  11. I'm a student in an odd clinical assignment this semester - we are on a skilled unit at a LTCF, so there is 1 nurse, 1 med nurse, 2 CNAs, and a bath team for 40 residents on each wing - there are 2...

    (((((((((Dutchgirl)))))))))))))) We don't know each other but I've been following your other post (think you were right btw:) ). I'm only a nursing student (1st semester even) and found that 3/4 of...
  14. Ethical problem

    First, I would approach your supervisor in a calm and non-defensive manner and ask why you were pulled from this case. If she states that it is due to you being too involved, let her know that you...
  15. How do you quit nursing?

    Some states allow you to take continuing education credits to keep your license active. Contact your state BON or go to their website and look at the licensing
  16. This probably sounds geeky but...

    It's definitely not geeky!!! A fellow student and I were talking in the hallway today after we passed our final skills lab test (thank goodness that's over). I looked up at all those pictures and...
  17. How long after...

    I wish my school had been that quick!! It was 4 1/2 long, torturous months for me. Application deadline was Jan. 15 and letters were mailed May 31 - the school had to wait till we finished that...
  18. Walters State, Chattanooga State?

    Amanda, I really like the program so far even tho it's alot of work. The 1st year instructors are wonderful and more than willing to help any way they can. I heard all the horror stories about them...
  19. Walters State, Chattanooga State?

    I am currently enrolled in Walters State's RN program (1st semester and counting) so I don't know alot about the bridgeover program. Your best bet is to call the nursing program and talk to one of...
  20. Nursing and Piercings

    I have 3 in each ear and my navel pierced. I'm in school right now so I can only wear 1 pair of earrings for clinicals, normally it would be 2 sets of studs and 1 set of small hoops. I rotate the...
  21. Saunders is making me mad

    I believe the answer to that question would depend on what state you live in. TN's good Samaritan law covers health care professionals as long as there is no negligence so I would have answered 2 to...
  22. What punishment should this nurse get?

    Ya gotta love these spirited debates!! :) I have been up most of the night with a sick child, and fallen asleep after she did. I didn't mean for it to happen (she had pneumonia and was having a...
  23. I Need Help Possitive Looking PPD

    I had the same reaction a couple of years ago when I started CNA class - it got so big (almost 1 1/2 inches) that I called the clinic. They had me come in at 48 hrs instead of 72. It was an allergic...
  24. How did you get through your first bed bath?

    I just gave my first bed bath on Weds! We had gone over the basics on our dummies during skills lab but never practiced on each other at all (we don't do any of our skills or assessments on fellow...
  25. I would definitely narrow down the topic - depression, inability to cope or ineffective grieving r/t lifestyle changes, death of friends/family, loss of dependence, and feelings of isolation are just...
