1. You want me to do what????

   S1XGUNS replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe this was a patient request. Was this before or after a pelvic? What kind of unit is this anyway? None-the-less I have never been asked to administer a douche.

2. Im Soon to be A Nurse..YEA!!!!

   S1XGUNS replied to mysticluv's topic in General Nursing

   Read, Read, Read, and as Jules A. stated learn how to test. Nursing exams are not like any test you have ever taken. Welcome to the world of CRITICAL THINKING (trying to find the most right answer of several right answer's) it's really quite botherso...

3. supplemental O2???

   S1XGUNS replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

   88% probably easily fixed by simply raising HOB or sleeping with 2 pillows.

4. I HATE nursing! (long)

   S1XGUNS replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

   Try a different area, Med-Surg irritated me, I moved to the ER and love it. Try something like OB, it was the only semester that did not rack my nerves while in school. The patient's were generally well and easy to care for.

5. Change room, staff room, gym, locker room?

   S1XGUNS replied to woknblues's topic in General Nursing

   We have a break room: sink, refrigerator, tv, closet, and coffee maker. The only time I have sat in there for more than 10 minutes is for report or a staff meeting. I Generally eat lunch in there, standing up, and for less than 10 minutes. It should ...

6. Whiny Classmate Rant

   S1XGUNS replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't sweat the small stuff. Amuse yourself by watching these whiners and complainers, and make a mental note to never let yourself become one of them. Go to school, do the work, make good grades and pass the boards. Let these idiots **** off the ins...

7. Anyone else upset with TCN?

   S1XGUNS replied to discouraged LPN's topic in Georgia

   I do not have a dog in this hunt, however, to me it seems that a class action suit against Georgia is needed. If these nurses pass the same boards as other schools, who are they to determine who is unsafe.

8. Schools with low NCLEX-RN passing rates

   S1XGUNS replied to cmiranda's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Here's the deal, the schools with the low NCLEX passing percentages most likely have a large graduating class. In other words most who enter the program probably graduate. I attended a Technical School that had passing percentages well above 95%. The...

9. Am I too sensitive - new charge

   S1XGUNS replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Nursing

   I too have experienced the same problem. I spoke to my unit director, she offered a great solution, "tell them if they do not like your decision, to come see me!". It actually worked quite well, after hours I would give them her number and ask them t...

10. ER Tech interview

    S1XGUNS replied to FlyMurse's topic in Emergency

    What, your an EMT and you do not feel you have the experience needed to be an ERT. You could easily be trained on hospital protocols and ERT duties. It seems to me that you would be light years ahead of most nursing school applicants for that job.

11. Help Me Please

    S1XGUNS replied to ICURNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure that there are no personality problems here, or any other reasons that your boss may not want you on his unit. If not, he is a real douchebag. And I would not volunteer any information on this subject to any prospective employer. If ask...

12. Is it normal to graduate nursing school & feel like you know nothing.

    S1XGUNS replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in General Nursing

    If your scared, you will most likely be a great nurse. It's those that think they know everything that scare the bejesus out of me.

13. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    S1XGUNS replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I think all nurses should let those babies loose, and purchase their uniforms from Fredricks of Hollywood complete with 4 inch pumps. It would certainly make my 12 hour shift more rewarding.

14. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    S1XGUNS replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    I am a relatively new nurse, however I have over 20 years experience in business ownership in a health related field. You may sale me on the fact that many of our gen x'ers do not have the work ethic, pride and respect that our parents taught us. Thi...
