  1. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey you guys- I did get my results in 16 days, but let me say again how unusual that is. Everybody else I know had to wait three weeks. So I guess you could say 16 days is about the minimum wait, not...

  2. good Samaritan or emergency care doctrine

    pinefarmgirl replied to Kristi Lee's topic in Emergency

    I remember something about handing off to a person with less cert. from my EMT days... If the EMS person is "lower ranking" than you, but is paid to be there, as in arriving with the ambulance, then...

  5. When is everybody starting work and what unit?

    pinefarmgirl replied to grinnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi- Can anyone explain the numbers that relate to your shift type- some of you mentioned 1.0 full time, or 0.09 full time???? I dont get it. I am trying to learn this stuff before I get offered a...

  6. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm wondering; maybe if everyone who takes the Nclex in California writes a letter to the board about our rediculous and stressful waiting period, it might start having an effect someday? Just bombard...

  7. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    BigB- I took mine almost exactly 90 days after graduation, after rescheduling twice because I did not feel ready. I realized I probably would never feel ready, and could not stand having the test...

    pinefarmgirl replied to IcantThinkofaName's topic in LPN to RN

    I just finished my California LVN program, and am applying to Western Nevada CC LVN to RN program. I am also looking at Deaconess and Excelsior, if WNCC doesn't work out. I am going to work in Reno,...

  10. RN to Paramedic Bridge Course

    pinefarmgirl replied to ironjohn929's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I was wondering- wouldn't you be paid more and be able the do the things you want if you did a MICN instead? Also, I recently talked to the cert specialist for the National Registry, and she told me...

  11. work from home LPN

    pinefarmgirl replied to weezer123's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    well, nobody has spoken up yet so I'm answering with my 2 cents so you know you were heard. I've had many ideas in the past, just didn't have the time to work on them. You can still do alot. HHMMMM,...

  12. need ideas please

    pinefarmgirl replied to Butterfli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just finished recently, and I really felt like that. I think what helped the most was having a good buddy in the same program, and she would do most of the driving. If I was late or didn't show, I...

  13. septic pedophile wanted by FBI

    pinefarmgirl replied to dfk's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There willl probably be patients in your work who have done as much or more, but you never knew about it. In this country, did we forget innocent until proven guilty?? people accused of something...

  14. Nicotine in pre-employment drug screen?

    pinefarmgirl replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Quote"sure hope they don't go after fat people next, 'cause even though I exercise three times a week, I still have a spare tire, a lot of junk in the trunk and a pair of oversized headlights."...

  15. to tell or not to tell?

    pinefarmgirl replied to ablynn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As a SN I spent alot of time in the OR, and only once did I see something questionable. It was a busy day for the surgeon, who in this small hospital also did a heavy schedule of endos between...

    I have no idea where that happy face came from, but a smile is always welcome,

  17. Help.. Math Question

    pinefarmgirl replied to VIRGO NURSE's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Let me try- I don't know how far along you are, so I'll say it anyway- cc's are the same as ML. next, have you not done any dosage calculation yet? then- we learned these as ratio/proportion...

  18. What and how to study for the NCLEX-PN?

    pinefarmgirl replied to brown eyed girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I guess that's a good point. You can't possibly memorize everything about nursing to make sure you pass the test. That would be impossible. The best thing is to get more than one source of...

  19. How do you get through the "gross" stuff?

    pinefarmgirl replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good topic- before I started nursing school I was worried that some things might make me sick... being a CNA did help get past the poop, pee, and vomit part. Being in the OR to me was like...

  20. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I received a plain white business envelope from Ca Consumer affairs- BOVN. I thought it was too early to get my results, so I figured they were telling me something was wrong with my...

  21. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    pinefarmgirl replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    Hey Jaxmom- yes it is so normal! you have to do stuff for yourself and try to remember why you started this thing. Force yourself to say something positive for every negative thought about school....

  23. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I forgot to say- from searching the posts here and checking it myself, it seems that it probably will not do any good to check the lvn board site for your name, like they can do with the RN site. You...

  24. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pinefarmgirl replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, I know how you feel. I took my test Nov. 15th, and I still have to wait another week to find out if I passed. Every student in my program has received their results in exactly three weeks, so I'm...

    pinefarmgirl replied to pedinurse05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Pedinurse- I'm just curious; you don't mention what happened when you went to BON to get your California license? I am wondering if I get EC degree and RN license in another state, after working...
