  1. Battle the jaded?

    I've worked in a pain clinic for a few years. We mostly do interventional treatment, but of course we prescribe as well. However, with the increase of abuse and diversion, we have all become so jaded, almost automatically assuming people are just dru...
  2. Kaplan qbank info tested on nclex ?

    Definitely. I used Qbank for my PN exam and got minimum questions and passed. For my RN exam, I only did about a hundred practice questions out of Saunders, got minimum questions and passed. As long as you understand the question, understand the rati...
  3. :) nclex pharmacology !!!

    no one can tell you what drugs they were tested on, that's in violation of the confidentiality policy you have to sign. the biggest help you could get on it - study medication suffixes and know what drugs those relate to. then, even if you have no cl...
  4. Nclex next week.. going to fail again.

    memorize infection control mnemonics (MRS WEE, SPIDERMAN, VCHIPS) and medication suffixes. for a disease, don't worry about the whole biological process - just know what it is, common symptoms, and common complications (thats how you determine "which...
  5. Help Help Help .. Failed NCLEX

    For NCLEX-PN, i studied my butt off. did lots of practice questions daily, studied infection control precautions, medication suffixes, and reviewed content. it was overkill, i thought. i eventually threw out the content review and just looked up stuf...

    Thanks, I feel much better :)
  7. Lab values for NCLEX-RN 2012

    Hey guys, I've been out of school for a year now and am just starting my studying for the NCLEX-RN. I purchased Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th edition. Here's my question: I've been studying off my old notes and goin...
  8. how can I repair the damage

    Hey, I agree with mc3. I've never had so much ridiculousness working with men as I have with women. I'd take a male coworker over a female coworker any day of the week. Makes my life easier.
  9. Not-so-friendly coworker..how do you deal with it?

    You know, you're probably right about the making BFF's comment. My soon-to-be-husband (in 2 days!) and I just moved here, and we don't know anyone, and our social life needs a boost. That's my problem! I'm such a people pleaser too - I always want ev...
  10. How do you remain civil with coworker's you hate :)

    I agree with xtxrn. Hating someone takes way too much energy - they aren't worth it. Just keep a smile on your face, do what you have to do, and get on with your life.
  11. How do you remain civil with coworker's you hate :)

    Oh lord, I've dealt with that at quite a few places. My last job I was at for over a year, and was happier than anyone in the world the day I quit because I was moving. It was wonderful! There were maybe 5 people (out of 60+) that I didn't dislike. S...
  12. I've worked at large LTC facilities before (4 of them) and have dealt with many, many, MANY catty and double-faced women. I learned through those experiences not to trust coworkers, not to talk to them about anything personal, and to keep all opinion...
  13. Many potential employers do background checks and may do a credit check. A credit check includes a list of past employers, although not every place you've ever worked will probably show up - but if you were somewhere for that long, it probably would....
  14. First job, feeling down

    Believe me - it DOES get better. A million times better! I've worked as an LPN for about 2 years now and just graduated with my ADN, and it's amazing where I'm at now compared to where I was as a brand-new nurse. I never thought I'd get to this point...
  15. Advice for student nurse regarding staff RN problem

    Yes, they are all right. The bottom line is - ALWAYS - cover *your* ass. That means you ask questions to clarify anything ambiguous or not seeming right, and doing things the correct & safe way until you've reached that point in your career where...
