   I passed pbds with flying colors, easy as pie. To tell you the truth many of my classmates had to retest. Maybe I am a cut above the rest, hahahaha!:)

3. Pediatric Urine Output

   JOLLIEHOLLY posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a pediatric RN and I have a question regarding adequate urine output for renal perfusion. I always follow the rule of thumb of 1cc/kg/hr for calculating urine output at the end of my shift. My question is what about a 15 year old who weighs 75kg...

4. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

   JOLLIEHOLLY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

   I am a conservative. I cannot stand Micheal fat ass Moore. His movies are completely worthless. I doubt he could make his movies any more one sided and liberal. Anyone who wastes their time watching this movie instead of doing there own research ...

5. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

   JOLLIEHOLLY replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men

   And so what if thinks being gay is "bad". Everyone is entitled to their own belief and morale system. Would that make him less of a person if he did not agree with the homosexual lifestyle, or on the contrary a better person if he does agree with i...

6. new grads in icu

   JOLLIEHOLLY replied to firehawkrn's topic in Safety

   Wow, you sure have a lot to say. I am a new grad RN as well. I would never attempt ICU. It is just not safe, and many new nurses who apply to the icu later realize this. That is why the retention rate is low. As far as the icu only taking the cr...

7. Patients on Medicaid

   JOLLIEHOLLY replied to DiEd's topic in Relations

   Let me tell you something, people who really need government assistance often times don't receive it. When I was pregnant with my second child I was denied WIC because I made $10/month too much!!! Keep in mind, between my husband and I we were maki...

   JOLLIEHOLLY posted a topic in Safety

   I am an RN on a general pediatric floor and have seen many children on the floor that are very acutely ill. Just in two months working there I have seen three cases of infants born with agenesis of the corpus collasum! One of my co workers responde...

9. 4th day as an RN on my own

   JOLLIEHOLLY replied to november17's topic in New Nurse

   To the OP, I start on my own as an RN in mid September. Ready, but still scared as hell. Everything the OP mentioned, I could see myself going through. I can tell she worked in geriatrics. Heart problems and having to get up every time you turn a...

    JOLLIEHOLLY replied to dezim0001's topic in NCLEX

    Were you in the process of answering a question when the screen shut off, if so I'd say that was incomplete test. If you are a slow test taker they can make accomadations for you. I myself took 2 hours just to do a minimum of 75 questions. I would...

12. Jehovah Witness RNs

    JOLLIEHOLLY replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Geez!! Everything I am reading about these JW people involves the words shunned, ostracized, and disassociation for disobedience. Sure doesn't sound like something I want to be involved with. What ever happened to forgiveness and unconditional love...

13. Learn From My Mistakes

    JOLLIEHOLLY replied to firstyearstudent's topic in New Nurse

    A couple of quotes I'd just love to share. "You learn more from your mistakes than you will ever learn from things you do right." and "Learn from other's mistakes, because you will never live long enough to make them all yourself!"

    JOLLIEHOLLY replied to Ilubrize's topic in Men

    Hello there. I am not a dude, but couldn't help clicking into the male nursing forum, as I saw "pediatric nurse." What kind of questions do you have? I graduated in May 2007, and just passed my nclex rn about a month ago. I went straight into ped...
