   MunoRN: Abortifacients. I can't give shots that for therapeutic reasons cause an abortion. For example, the depo-pro shot. So yes, it does interfere with my being a practicing Catholic if I give a shot that was intended to stop fertilization and kil...

2. I think I might hate nursing

   Katbug replied to Lexi256's topic in General Nursing

   As an LPN all I do is pass meds in nursing homes. I did the same exact thing as an RA in assisted living homes. A TMA does the exact same thing as me I just can do some treatments as well and get paid more. I hate it. Right now I'm battling scabies ...

3. Vasovagal Syncope

   Katbug posted a topic in Disabilities

   Hi, I just feel the need to vent a bit... I'm in the process of finding a new nursing job and during a job shadow/interview I ended up fainting during a colostomy bag change. I believe my triggers were the smell, the hot room and standing for a long ...

4. What to expect entering LPN school?

   Katbug replied to Jaylasmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I graduated LPN school about eight months ago so I feel like I may be qualified to answer :) I found getting Mosby's Drug Guide extremely helpful, I got it half way in and should have gotten in much sooner. I wish I had gotten Mosby's Diagnosti...

   Katbug replied to BlueHearts53's topic in New Nurse

   The future is God's, what do you fear? He'll always look after you, even if you don't get all that you think you want. Whether you win some or lose some, He will never abandon you :)

7. Just took the NCLEX PN

   Katbug posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just took the NCLEX PN and the test shut off at 85 questions. I felt like I studied all the wrong material and felt as though almost every question I had to guess at. I think I knew for sure about three questions, but I know I got at least that man...

8. What would you think if you saw this patient?

   Katbug replied to coffeemamaRN's topic in General Nursing

   If they are not able to swallow, are they aspirating and/or able to eat anything? I'd imagine a trip to the ER would be necessary if breathing problems developed. If a neurological check was done and there are no signs of stroke is he maybe thinking ...

9. Doctor's lying about telephone order

   Katbug replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

   I really like how you bring this up, this would solve a lot of problems. The facility I work at has a policy where we are ONLY allowed to take faxed orders, we can take them initially by phone call as just on a 'for your information' basis, but in o...

    Katbug replied to kay_nurse's topic in NCLEX

    I'm about to take my NCLEX PN on Monday, I've been reviewing everything and praying especially hard to Kateri and Mary for intercession for over a year and a half now for both nursing school and this dreaded NCLEX. I heard that if you go to your stat...
