   AutumnLeavesRN replied to AutumnLeavesRN's topic in General Nursing

   Annie Oakley, I received this patient from the ER. I received her at 2000 and she'd be in the ER since about 1100 that morning. She'd had several doses of Xans and Ativan LONG LONG LONG before she got to me lol. I am well aware of the restlessness...

   AutumnLeavesRN replied to AutumnLeavesRN's topic in General Nursing

   The first time she spoke with them I was with another patient. When I went back to reassess her, the patient's family began to ask me questions then the husband goes "hey get that respiratory nurse back in here". I sighed on that. I didn't mean to so...

   AutumnLeavesRN replied to AutumnLeavesRN's topic in General Nursing

   It wasn't a contest per say but it does sound that way. She way saying one thing and I had to clarify to the family what those things meant. The MD had seen this patient long before she got up to the floor and was the one who ordered the bipap settin...

   Oh goodness yes.....severe COPD and still, STILL smokes 2+ packs a day per 3 family members reports. I told the HS and she has zero backbone. I will discuss this with my nurse manager on my next rotation. Because we had a code on the floor, I put thi...

5. Day Shift vs. Night Shift

   AutumnLeavesRN replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

   As a new nurse, the day shift would offer you the opportunity to be apart of more codes, bedside procedures, meeting and getting to know the doctors you'll be working with, etc. Most docs don't come on night shift to do any kind of bedside procedures...

8. Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

   AutumnLeavesRN replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX

   You see this is why I don't trust the pearson vue trick. Mine is getting that so-called "good pop-up" but I could have failed. It could be like your situation but vice versa. The waiting is making me sick, like literally. And the Quick Results link ...

10. I passed the NCLEX!!

    AutumnLeavesRN replied to PeppermintP's topic in NCLEX

    In Texas, you can work as a graduate nurse while waiting to take the exam. Some people say it helps to be in the acute care setting prior to testing, others say it doesn't make much of a difference. If your state honors a GN permit then do what you ...

    AutumnLeavesRN replied to PeppermintP's topic in NCLEX

    I had my exam March 18th. I got the "good pop-up" but I am not sure I trust that. I need to see something that says I passed, lol. I would say focus on priority patients and teaching. I had a boatload of those questions. The majority of the test ...

12. Nclex 2013-just took

    AutumnLeavesRN replied to rosepetals12's topic in NCLEX
