   FUNNYGIRLRN replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

   I think that as nurses we have a responsability to help any patient that presents to us to the best of our abilities at any time. IF that means having to find someone or a phone to help interpret what my patient is saying and that puts me behind then...

   I am a new nurse but the first unit I went to work on wasn't for me and I was miserable. Now I work at a place that is just my speed and I LOVE IT!!! Nursing can be stressful but rewarding you just have to find your place.

7. Just took the boards....

   FUNNYGIRLRN replied to krinklesRN's topic in CRNA

   I think EVERYONE feels like there is no way they passed when they leave the testing center. The fact is that 80% or more of the people who take the test pass on the first try. Even if they don't its not the end of the world. You just take it again. I...

    FUNNYGIRLRN replied to StressedOutNurse85's topic in General Nursing

    This board is a great place for people to vent. I completley understand what you were trying to say and that you were upset about the entire situation. That would irritate me too. The reason why the other nurse is going to be out of work wouldn't bo...

13. Talk about an Nclex nightmare

    FUNNYGIRLRN replied to busman21's topic in NCLEX

    I had a terrible NCLEX experience myself. It was storming the day I took mine and I was a nervous wreck. I sit down at my computer and I can hear thundering but faze it out and answer about 10 questions when the power goes out and my computer shuts o...

    FUNNYGIRLRN replied to military girl's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could go over how to use the types of equipment on your floor that may not get used often such as; different lifts, scales, polar packs, cooling blankets, etc. I am a new nurse and I think that would be helpful to me. There are certain piec...

15. small hosp. vs. large hosp.

    FUNNYGIRLRN replied to gacjumper's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about that. I think being in a hospital where there are fewer patients you will learn a lot more because there are fewer people for you to tend to and you can take time to really understand their conditons, research things you don't know...
