   Queen216 replied to meganm's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with Kelli. I attend B&S and will be completing my final semester there. Yes, it is a new program, and yes, it is expensive. But the teacher's are excellent! Most have 20+ years of experience and are still working functioning nurses. :red...

2. Question about the TEAS (nervous)

   Queen216 replied to Delaina's topic in General Nursing

   I took mines and did fine. Don't over do with buying the book and discussing the test. It will only get up ruffled, and confused. **** Remember the answers are in the question, especially science. :)

   Queen216 replied to 4ever_heaven's topic in Student Assist

   She sound like the dizziness can be attributed to CHF. I'm surprised nothing in your post contained getting a BP. What was the sound of her lungs? Wet? I would not suggest complete bedrest for a post/op patient that can ambulate. Slow and steady carr...

10. Heartwarming story for all... Bring a kleenex!

    Queen216 replied to Queen216's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying. But the nurse tone of voice alone was not comforting. Some nurses lose their compassion along the line somewhere. I know the job is stressful, but medication is not always the answer. I understand the floor was under...

12. Heartwarming story for all... Bring a kleenex!

    Queen216 replied to Queen216's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a nursing student, and I was work as a nursing assistant. But I hope I don't lose my compassion, as I see a lot RNs do. Not because they don't care, but because of the circumstances. I usually NEVER stop the "syringe of silence". I'm usual...

    Queen216 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was assisting with a patient at work. She was a 'attempted suicide' so she was under 24 hour companion monitoring. That means she was not allowed to be alone, so she would not harm herself. Since the floor was understaffed guess who got put with th...

14. gum chewing-lip smacking bad manners

    Queen216 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    Get some gum and chew it just like she is. Smack for smack, even pull it between your teeth and twirl it around your finer and re-eat it. Or you can always put a specimen next to her. That always worked for me. :)

    Queen216 replied to Nurseboy1's topic in General Nursing

    When the patient says "It doesn't hurt anymore" As a EMT I transported a man to a rehab with the diagnosis of MSF. During the wait for the correct bed, he tells his son, "I'm not in pain anymore". All I could think was, "Please get the bed ready, it ...
