3. Falsely accused of med diversion

   HoneybadgerFTW replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

   So sorry this happened to you. I pulled a narc from Pyxis and went straight to room and administered med. Problem was there was a lag or something so it showed that u administered Med 8 seconds before I pulled it. So I get a call when I get home from...

   HoneybadgerFTW replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

   Florida has a ton of RN jobs posted. I also know of some of my friends who moved to Texas to get a sweet sign on bonus! Good luck!

5. Help with shoes

   HoneybadgerFTW replied to heronurse's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I go between dansko professionals and asics. Shoes are truly a personal choice, just remember to take care of your feet!! It's ok to spend more on shoes that will be comfortable for you as opposed to spending time and money on a podiatrist later!

6. Pearson Vue Trick: Is it accurate? Do you know anyone who paid using their CC and passed?

8. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

   HoneybadgerFTW replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

   I had to chuckle when I read this. As a medic in the army we often gave saline bags for our guys on monday before our brigade runs. Banana bags were also in big demand. Ahhh the good old days... lol

9. Embarrassed and depressed

   HoneybadgerFTW replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

   sometimes its hard to put into words how a person feels or what they think. I was the only combat vet in my nursing class, it was hard. Sometimes it felt like I didnt even speak the same language- PTSD is hard on a good day, but when you add the extr...

    *last update* I would like to thank you all again for the time you took to show an interest in me and my situation. :) Long story short I just finished my exit HESI (with a 1036) and currently awaiting my ATT. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

11. Cheating in nursing school

    HoneybadgerFTW replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I have to admit that cheating is one of my biggest pet peeves. My program was full of people who cheated. The most recent incident occurred when my professor stated he could only grade 5 papers because the rest were blatantly cut and pasted. In fact,...

    HoneybadgerFTW replied to HoneybadgerFTW's topic in General Students

    UPDATE: my "action plan" is to write a paper on professionalism... (ahem the irony is truly laughable considering the situation). I was able to come back so the day charge nurse could have a sit down (weird since i worked the night shift.. but ok) Sh...

15. what to do if you are told not to come back to clinical site?

    HoneybadgerFTW replied to HoneybadgerFTW's topic in General Students

    I have gotten job offers from every clinical site, and have never had a complaint. Infact all of my clinical instructors have said great things about me. I am not trying to pull any card. I am just scared that if I don't have a clinical site how do I...
