  1. NCLEX Preparation

    I graduated from my AD program about a year and a half ago (I'm now almost done w/ my BSN), & I used several books to study from. I think the best one I had was the NSNA review book. You can find it in most of the bookstores, &, as an added...
  2. What color was your student uniform?

    My AD program uniform was a nasty looking white button down shirt with white pants and a navy blue "tabbord" (apron like thing) with the school patch on it and a white long lab coat witht the school patch for pre-clinical data collection. My BS pro...

  4. Dr. Emory House

    We used to use Dr. Emory House at the hospital I used to work at too...one of the ladies who'd been there for quite a while commented to me one night (after several codes that week) "That Dr. House must never leave...I hear him paged at all hours of ...
  5. Nursing Superstitions!

    Obviously, the Q word... We also never say "I'm bo***"--sure to invite disaster. We stopped calling ER to find out if they had anything waiting for us before sending an extra nurse home--we were sure to call them back for a AMI within the hour. Don't...
  6. Visitors' Policy/Visiting Hours

    I work in a 17 bed ICU/CCU with Open Heart Recovery incorporated into it. We have 3-1/2 hours visiting times and 2 1 hour visiting times. This seems to work really well when the nurses enforce it and families stick to it. We have had lots of probl...

  9. Question about codes

    All through my Associate Degree clinicals, my instructors encouraged us to go to any code that we could. I did not have opportunity to go until my last semester, but it was definitely a wonderful learning experience. I'm one of those that learn muc...
  10. new job

    I'm new to my unit too. We deal with a lot of things that I've never been exposed to before, and we're definitely very busy. It WILL seem overwhelming at first, but even though I've only been on the unit 3 months, I have learned a lot, and I am mor...
  11. New Nurse Meeting Resistance

    I am new to my ICU/CCU unit. I came to ICU/CCU with 9 months experience on a Medical/Oncology unit. I was not able to complete my orientation with my original preceptor because of my class schedule (I'm working on my BSN), and I was assigned to ano...
