1. What do you think about this? Tips please

   shelbywu replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

   Why can't you go back to your original OR? If it was for medical reasons, wouldn't they have known, and would accept you back?

   shelbywu replied to sg6307's topic in Operating Room

   BREWERPAUL: May I ask you a question? I think I may have a bone spur. (I have a large "bump" at the base of my great toe). This is preventing me from flexing my toe to any degree and is quite painful at certain times. Should I see a Podiatrist for...

3. Prioritizing in the OR

   shelbywu replied to shelbywu's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks for the awesome responses! This info will go a long way. It has also made me realize how much I really want to do this and I WILL make it work. It seems like there is so much to do, but at least it is for one patient at a time, not the 7 yo...

   Hi everyone! Let me first say I am addicted to this site. I think all you OR nurses have great advice and a tremendous amount of knowledge. I am starting my orientation in the OR soon and have a question. Everyone says that priortizing is a key el...

   Congrats on your new postion. I too am a new grad, however, I did listen to everyone's advice and am on a Med/Surg unit. I hate it!! There are just too many patients and too many medications to pass, too many interruptions, etc. I really think th...

6. What is wrong with me??? Pls help...

   shelbywu replied to AnaBanana12's topic in NCLEX

   That is exactly what happened to me. I couldn't understand it. I didn't know if it was burnout or maybe I wasn't doing enough. I only did about 50 questions a day, but I started about a month before graduation and did some questions every day. I...

   shelbywu replied to Corvette's topic in NCLEX

   I feel your pain. I just took mine today. Machine shut off somewhere between 125 and 140 (I wasn't looking). I know I failed. I only got 1 check all that apply, 1 med calculation. The rest were who should you see first, etc. I thought I studie...

8. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

   shelbywu replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

   :lol2: That one is tooo funny!!! This is not quite along the same lines, but I used to work for an OBGYN. I was reading the registration sheet of one of the patients. When it asked for any previous surgeries she wrote, "cut stomach open, took ba...

10. How do you tell your co-worker you don't won't to be in their study group?

    shelbywu replied to nurse2b2007SC's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked well with study groups either. I found I needed to get a good grasp of the material on my own before I could go into a group. You could tell them you want to get a good handle on the material first and then maybe the day before an ex...

11. What was the toughest part of Nursing school for you?

    shelbywu replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Students

    By far, the absolute worst part of nursing school for me was writing all those CARE PLANS!!! I would take a test any day over doing care plans.
