How Do You Get That Hospital Smell Out Of Your Scrubs?

Posted on 02/26/2010 by nursing| 5 Comments

I am doing clinicals right now and I only have two pairs of scrubs, and four clinical days per week. But I cannot get the smell out. It isn’t foul, it is just uncomfortable because I notice it when I get home. It just smells like hospital. I’ve been told to wash them in vinegar…I tried that when I worked at a resturant and my clothes smelled like grease, after I washed them, it smelled like grease and vinegar…not a good combination. By the way it isn’t just me, my classmates have also encountered the same problem. Please help

Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get Non-leather (vegan) Nurses Shoes That Won’t Break The Bank?

Posted on 02/23/2010 by nursing| 2 Comments

Shop around at some of the cheaper stores in your area as they tend to have shoes that do not have leather. Target, Walmart, Payless, K-Mart, that sort of place.
Not that you couldn’t get some good quality shoes with great arch support that have no animal products. My New Balance shoes have no leather at all and give me great support, something that your going to need standing on your feet. I got mine on sale at just under $50.
Just start reading labels….. a real pain, but the only real solution unless you want to go to the online stores that charge way too much for what you get in ‘vegan’ shoes.

How Do You Get Across To Nursing Student That Math Is So Important To Know?

Posted on 02/22/2010 by nursing| 3 Comments

Math errors in nursing result in medication errors, as this is generally the only area in wich you use more than the most basic math (calculating dosages, medications based on body-mass-indexes, etc). Look up some of the legal implications of medication errors… prison sentences dues to negligence. Regardless of anything the doctor prescribed or the pharmacy provided, giving the WRONG med or the WRONG dosage lays solely on the shoulders of the nurse who administered it. You really need to know how to calculate and convert different measurement systems as well as figure out IV flow rates, etc. Also very important for monitoring intake and output….

I Have Been A Cna And Now I Want To Be A Nurse, But I Am 29 And I Have 4 Young Kids, Is That Possible?

Posted on 11/06/2009 by nursing| 2 Comments

I have been a cna(nurses assistant)for over 2 years. I realize now that there are no old cna’s. It is not a job you can plan on retiring from. It is very physical and requires a lot of strength. I want to go to ivy tech for an lpn licnese becuase I am pretty sure I could qualify for a gov loan that I wouldnt even have to pay back as long as I graduate. But that is a lot to juggle. I have to work and go to school around my finacees work schedual becuase we have no child care and dont qualify for childcare help. So I could only go part time. It might take me 4 years where as it normally only takes 2 years. Is it rediculous for me to even try givin my age and situation?
