1. Group chats and cheating?

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to Emeraldstorm's topic in General Students

   I have found that those that cheat usually end up failing at some point, either a class, a SIM, a clinical, or the NCLEX. Focus on yourself.

2. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   Let people live. As long as they're not violating HIPAA it's all good in my book. They're proud of what they do and It humanizes the profession. There are other social media posts to gripe about.

3. Orientation. Advice on precepting

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to Sweetheart2005's topic in General Nursing

4. refusing patients due to medical reasons.

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to reallyagain7's topic in General Nursing

   As my manager says, "Planet earth is a red zone when it comes to COVID." As such, the hospital I work at will no longer honor "medical exemptions" and everyone was required to return to "normal" duties this past Monday. As long as you utilize proper ...

6. Hitting a wall

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to BodhiHeart's topic in Critical

   This is exactly what I am thinking. I'm often in a patients room and will have the tele tech call me in the room and notify me that the pt is desating. Or I will have another RN come in to tell me. I also do the same. The bottom line is, if I, or ano...

7. How are your Covid patients treated in your Covid/ICU unit?

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   Where I am at the docs write specific orders to “bundle care” and “limit time in pt’s room”. We are allowed to answer call lights at the nurses station. We are allowed to call the pts room to check in on them. We are allowed to stand by the door to a...

8. Nursing informatics and healthcare informatics

   Chazzie_Made_It replied to moktao's topic in Informatics

   I am going to start A MS in Health Informatics program in the Fall. Main reason is I have a BA and an ADN, no BSN. I want to get into the field but didn’t want to spend more money taking extra upper division nursing courses for an MSN w/ focus in Hea...

    I don't know how it is in Texas, but in Arizona every single one of my class mates (40 in all) graduated with their ADN, passed NCLEX and got a job. Some, while still in school, and others less than 5 months after graduating and passing NCLEX. Many w...

15. I need my instructor

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I just recently graduated (Dec. 2017) and have been working for a year now. In my program, during the final months, we were allowed to perform skills with just the assigned RN present. How can one instructor be there for every task, for every student...
