    I'm so happy for you congratulations!!! I heard about the new nclex format and it was kinda freaking me out a little bit. I got awhile before I take it so don't have to worry too much. Again,...

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to FromMNtoCA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My goodness... I've been in that situation quite a few times. The snf I used to work had way more than 155 residents. And let's just say what could've went wrong did. Of course you are told if...

    Yes, med-surg is tuff. I'm glad you're hanging in there and thank you for letting us know what you're doing after EC. It can be a bit discouraging for us students when we don't read a lot about life...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that's crazy, such an unnecessary thing to have happened. I wonder how Vanderbilt will survive with these lawsuits over a million dollars and their reputation is taking a big hit i'm sure. I know...

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So sorry to hear you didn't pass the first time. I would suggest if you know where your weakness areas are try and focus on those. For me, I have a big weakness in pediatrics/maternity nursing for...

    Pearson Vue question...not about the trick

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to Dy-no-mite Nurse1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you shamadi for your comment, I really appreciate it. I did find out you gotta pay before you can view any test dates. It just sucks that way but I don't make their rules

    Pearson Vue question...not about the trick

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was wondering if I could look up future testing dates without having to pay on their website for an exam? Pearson vue is very difficult to get through to ask questions. I logged in and somehow not...

    Abusive families

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to nurseguy213's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Family members can be more of a hassle than the patient themselves. I'm pretty sure most patient's would recover well if some of their family would just leave them alone and let nurses do their jobs....

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to carti's topic in General Students

    It is unfortunate this happens quite frequently in nursing involving males. I can't tell you how many times in my career patient's have declined a male nurse or aide to care for them and the facility...

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    Dy-no-mite Nurse1 replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing
