  1. Student Needs Interview about Financial Management

    firstyearstudent posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Hello, all. It's been many years since I posted on allnurses.com. I started posting here when I was a first year student. After I earned by ADN, I kept the name. Now it's been 10 years and I'm a first...

  2. Student Needs Interview about Financial Management

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in Nurse Management

    They really like to torture us with this crap. We'd probably learn more just reading an article in a healthcare finance magazine. Heh

  3. Student Needs Interview about Financial Management

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in Nurse Management

    firstyearstudent replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

  6. Med Error

    firstyearstudent replied to Fitzy819's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean, "make it past 5"? I've been a nurse for three years now and, on my floor, we don't eavesdrop on other people's telephone conversations and report other people's medication errors. If...

  7. Am I approaching this in the wrong way?

    firstyearstudent replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I used to worry about this kind of stuff, then I realized that if I was ever included in their group I'd be bored out of my skull. Who wants to listen to some idiot talk about the slacks she tried on...

  9. Med Error

    firstyearstudent replied to Fitzy819's topic in General Nursing

    I'd stay out of it unless this guy makes a lot of errors. He knows he made an error. I'm sure he feels terrible about it. People make mistakes -- even people in the medical profession who know they...

  10. Is this "normal"?

    firstyearstudent posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Is this "normal"?

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been practicing for three years. Most of the time I'm on top of this stuff, but some shifts you can just get so tangled up in minutae that you lose sight of the big picture (or am I wrong about...

  14. Is this "normal"?

    firstyearstudent replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

  18. Hazards, Risks, and Problems w/ Nursing

    firstyearstudent replied to SuperDuperSuper's topic in General Nursing

    Is this for an assignment? Heh heh. Stress, to me, is the biggest deal. You have too much to do, not enough time to do it, much of it has to be done within a certain window of time, and someone's...

    firstyearstudent replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

  23. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    At least one study showed that, when patients know people are praying for them, they actually do worse.

  24. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    firstyearstudent posted a topic in General Nursing
