1. CNA disrespecting new grad.

   JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in New Nurse

   I agree you can't force anyone to do anything. Then again, she should not be a CNA since doesn't want to do things within her job description. She amazingly never gives the nurses who have more time on a difficult time at all.

2. CNA disrespecting new grad.

   JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for all the answers. She was sitting in a chair reading, so no she was not busy. I feel like I don't know how to tell her without sounding like a *****! When I went back and she argued the second time, I told her I would like her to put the pa...

3. CNA disrespecting new grad.

   JillFRN posted a topic in New Nurse

   I have started about a month ago at a LTC facility. Everyone on day shift and evening shift were great. I get on nights and it's a whole different story. The CNA's sleep and are disrespectful! I asked a CNA the other day to put a patient to bed and s...

4. The Nursing Math Thread

   JillFRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   Ok, I need help with a problem. My SIL asked me to help her and I am stumped. I guess this is what happens when you leave nursing school! Amoxicillin 100mg/m2 ( I think this is supposed to be mg/ml?) in 2000ml NS over 90 min. Pt ht is 68 inches and w...

   CONGRATS!!

6. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

   JillFRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   The good pop up says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." It left out the part about contacting the Member board. I told her I think she passed since it didn't allow h...

7. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

   JillFRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   Hi everyone, I passed my boards in June, but I did the PVT for my friend who took it today. She got the good pop-up except for the part that says please contact your Member Board. Is this something new on Pearson? Thanks in advance!

8. Do I really need my BSN?

   JillFRN posted a topic in New Nurse

   I currently have my ADN in Nursing with a B.S. in Public Health. With all the talk I have been hearing of needing your BSN do I need to get it since I already have a B.S.? A side note, I am planning on getting my MSN, but probably 5 years. Thanks for...

   JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

   Thank you everyone! For me it was this semester, the was just so much info all at once (we did advanced med surg and peds). So happy to almost be there, I've waited so long for this!!

11. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in Student Assist

    This seems to clear that up. I wish I could remember the other questions. I will get a book, I have Lippincott, but there are no Priority ones in there. Thanks for the help!

12. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN replied to JillFRN's topic in Student Assist

    well we are not allowed to keep our exams only just review them so I do not remember the questions off hand. I remember one was a 12 yr old with expiratory wheezes and then 4 month old with vomiting. The other two were easily eliminated. I picked th...

13. Prioritizing! Help!

    JillFRN posted a topic in Student Assist

    We just had our midterm. I am in my senior year and I did pretty well on it. The only questions I struggled on were which pt do I see first. I tried following ABC's and that ended me up in the wrong room! How do I get a better grasp on this?

14. I've decided to blog about my experiences in nursing school from start to finish.

    JillFRN replied to lllchillylll's topic in General Students

    I think it's a great idea, just be wary of what you write. If I were to blog about my last CI not only would I never have had time to study because I would have been there venting, but she would have dragged me by my ear to the Dean's Office I am sur...

15. I needs some advice!!

    JillFRN replied to Love840207's topic in General Students

    I am entering my last year as well and I still get nervous. NS is stressful. You are forced to learn a HUGE amount of information in such a small amount of time. I remember the first week I cried and was so stressed out, probably more than I have eve...
