1. Ever have a patient complain about you?

   gaonsi replied to love lilacs's topic in Relations

   I had a pt complain that I was too young. So I Webb to take care of a more critical pt. I think when people complain about insignificant things, they are just hurting about something. I apologize for how they feel, ask my coworkers what I could have ...

2. Desperate 2 become a NURSE

   gaonsi replied to rainbowprincess's topic in Disabilities

   I'll be honest, critical care is not for you. It's the epitome of multitasking. There could be several different things going on at one time and you're to testing drips using your knowledge base, not based off of md orders. Although I'm not in medsur...

3. Unique situation as an upcoming grad.

   gaonsi replied to lexicon28's topic in Job Hunt

   Try and explain it to them in financial terms. You've spent x amount if dollars on an education and with the job market being how it is, you can afford moving back and not working. Are they willing to support their 24 year old daughter? I doubt it.

4. Nursing makes me hate fat people

   gaonsi replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Relations

   This is such a touchy subject. I sympathize for my make coworkers because unfortunately, they get asked to turn our barbaric patients. I don't have any advice besides putting yourself and your health first. Good luck! I think this is a prune example ...

5. Why can't you get a job?

   gaonsi replied to sunmaidliz's topic in Job Hunt

   This is saddening to hear. I don't have advice for you but I wish you nothing but the best!

6. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

   gaonsi replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA

   I'm confused as how that's a violation of HIPAA. We used to go into each others rooms all the time for learning, addressing pumps, helping turn etc. as for the insulin, that's why someone checks behind you. To avoid mistakes. Someone caught you, cris...

7. New Grad-First Day in the ER--Feeling Overwhelmed and Foolish

   gaonsi replied to melmacrn's topic in Emergency

   You're not foolish! You're just new and nervous. Take it each day at a time. Go into work with only one expectation: to learn. Nursing is about growth and learning something new and amazing each day. Some days you'll learn more than others. Some days...

8. ICU experience vs Residency program

   gaonsi replied to tsieberw's topic in SRNA

   I was in a residency program while in ICU. I didn't think residency was so helpful. I'd take the ICU job. You'll get a lot of training and classes for ICU

9. My interview at a Hospital with the lions

   gaonsi replied to garn12's topic in Job Hunt

   This post has been very interesting to read. Although I'm terribly sorry you felt disrespected, did you realize the hospital you were stepping into?! You're talking an inner city hospital in a downtown metro area. Sometimes the nurses should not be o...

11. anybody who studied with saunders exclusively and passed the nclex?

    gaonsi replied to Danaeva's topic in NCLEX

    I used ATI for content and questions and Saunders for questions. I wasn't doing well on ATI so I just Saunders and did questions and reviewed lab values and I passed first try. I felt Saunders was spot on.

14. Passed my CCRN!

    gaonsi posted a topic in MICU

    So I passed my CCRN this week. I wanted to share how I studied since I asked everyone and I see the question come up. I work in a level one trauma hospital but in the MICU. I have been a nurse for a little over a year and I started in ICU as a new gr...

15. UGH

    gaonsi replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it depends where you love. Are ADN's getting jobs? If you're in a state like California, go get a bsn. It will make you more competitive when looking for a job. One year is a short amount of time in retrospect. Good luck.
