1. When to hold antihypertensive meds

   TexasRN89 posted a topic in General Students

   I know that holding BP meds depends on several factors such as ordered parameters, patient's status, med class and dosage, patient's VS readings, etc. But when does the DIASTOLIC reading come into play? I've been told that in most situations, BP meds...

2. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   My current company will be merging with a HH company by 2019. We have outpatient therapy at my hospital but no actual outpatient clinics so no outpatient nursing. I've looked into places like Kelsey Seybold and other office/clinic type settings and h...

3. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   I've definitely considered case management but all the positions I've seen were for more experienced nurses 3+ years

4. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   I considered float pool and prn but I need health benefits and most that I've looked into don't offer them.

5. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly I think it's just my current position. It drains me and makes me rethink my whole life when I go home after every tough day (which is 99% of them). I've been wanting to go back to school but just haven't had the money for tuition because my ...

6. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   Do you also work rehab or are you on med-surg? I swear it's what's burning me out. I've only had my license for 15 months and I'm already reconsidering my career

7. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

   I like my current job on the days I only have 6 patients haha but I don't like the management and the way they do certain things. But I guess that comes with every job, right? I didn't like psych because it was too... Too much drama. Also, they put m...

8. I hate my job :(

   TexasRN89 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been working at a rehabilitation hospital for almost a year now. I absolutely hate it. I have for most of the time I've been here. I don't know if bedside nursing isn't my thing or if it's the patient load (usually 8) or if it's just the company...

9. Question about "unchart" options

   TexasRN89 posted a topic in General Nursing

   When I chart something in a patient's EMR and then go back and click the option to unchart due to an error, will the Uncharted response stay in the patient's medical record? Or will it be erased and show nothing... Like it never happened? Like when ...

10. Need to quit my horrible job!

    TexasRN89 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in psych and I just started working at a facility about 6 weeks ago. They are going through some major mangement issues and changes (a lot of top dogs are leaving or have already quit). As a result, staffing is so incredibly disorganized and m...

11. Help!? ATT is about to expire and I need to reschedule!

    TexasRN89 replied to TexasRN89's topic in NCLEX

    Of course I read everything that was given or made available to me when I applied for my license and when I signed up with Pearson Vue. I don't recall reading anything about what would happen in a scenario like the one I am in now. I'll try to figure...

12. Help!? ATT is about to expire and I need to reschedule!

    TexasRN89 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I've taken the NCLEX once already and failed. I registered and paid both the BON licensing fee and Pearson Vue exam fee again. I kept rescheduling my exam date because life got in the way and I fell behind on studying. I'm still not ready but my seco...
