  2. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    charebec65 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Of course there are those who loving being an inpatient....they're being waited on hand and foot. I do believe there is a place for welfare, medicaid, etc. but it's way too loosely regulated and way...

  3. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    charebec65 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Amen to that... It would be cheaper to for hospitals to hire a couple of PA's and triage all these stupid things to them. Make them wait a few hours, have the PA instruct them on how to deal with the...

    charebec65 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Ohio Nursing

  5. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    charebec65 replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Under normal circumstances, these things don't bother me at all. I think some of the trepidation has to do with the fact that it was a loved one...... For instance, watching the plastic surgeon...

  6. Nclex 3000

    charebec65 replied to harrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm getting ready to take the NCLEX PN but tried this just for the challenge. I really liked it and was surprised that there were questions I'd seen on my Saunders NCLEX PN review cd too. I actually...

  7. LPN scope of practice

    charebec65 replied to kk2000's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know what state you're in but your state BON should have it on their website, ours does. If not, they would probably mail you a copy or tell you when you can access it. We can do much of...

  8. Myers-Briggs Type

    charebec65 replied to piscesguy's topic in General Nursing

  9. LPN to RN student forum

    charebec65 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I see this thread kinda petered out for a while then was brought back. I just graduated from my PN program this week and am awaiting my ATT so I can schedule my NCLEX. I want to bridge and haven't...

  10. anyone at lpn program at Great Oaks?

    charebec65 replied to magster11's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Shannon, Where are you bridging? Did you have any problems transferring? A lot of places won't accept the A&P from what I'm hearing. I plan on getting my RN as well and am checking all the...

  11. anyone at lpn program at Great Oaks?

    charebec65 replied to magster11's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Good luck. 3rd term was tough, mostly d/t paperwork. 4th term was cake though. I would start using the NCLEX practice disk when you get it, even just a half hour a day, several days a week will...

    charebec65 replied to magster11's topic in Ohio Nursing

  13. Question?

    charebec65 replied to illuminate's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    :mortarboard: I'm in Ohio so I don't know how licensure works in Georgia but insofar as the NCLEX, you'll take the same one as me except that most of the questions will differ. The NCLEX is national....

  14. Is part time LPN program doable with kids?

    charebec65 replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can do it. I got a paralegal degree (A.A.S.) as a full time student and single mother of 3 little kids. I now have 5 kids (though not as little anymore) and graduate from a full time LPN program...

  18. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    charebec65 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    These are from my bro-in-law who is an ER doc... Late teen/early 20's girl, boyfriend dumped her at ER, their sex games had included coke bottle in an orifice in which it didn't belong...a suction...

  19. Womens interest in male nurses

    charebec65 replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe I live in my own little world but I hadn't really thought twice about men in nursing seeming 'different'. I'm still in school and there are two guys in my graduating class. Both are kind and...

    charebec65 replied to Labrys's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry you had a negative experience during your cone.... I've had quite a few procedures requiring this type of sedation. My GI doc typically uses versed and demerol. Before I began nursing...

    charebec65 replied to nightwatcher's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac
