I'm so very sorry, I know what it's like to be in a situation where your child is hurt and not knowing what to do or how to react. You tell me you can't cry. I say cry, scream let it all hang out and after your done going a little crazy. You'll be strong enough to handle the situation ahead. Good news is he called for your help, that means he truly did'n't want to leave you. Bad news is I don't think that the party had anything to do with his reaction. He must have been feeling down for a while after you cry, you need to be strong and show him all the love and support and understanding you can. Pray and God will see you through this. I know this for a FACT!!!!

You did all you can and I agree that I would have given her the ativan too. Be carful on putting on restraints on anybody without making sure you have a doctor's order. Sometimes nurses say to put one on and there's no order. It's your license. But good job and look forward to more of those fun nights.

Hi, I just passed the NCLEX and have been working as a CNA since 1995 and I feel completely the frustration that you felt in your statement. But I also believe that through that frustration you did not mean ALL nurses. In all my years of working at LTC facilities I can count on one hand the amount of bad nurses I have worked who are just there to pass meds. And I know that for a fact because whenever the any of the good nurses come back from their days off they have to complete the charting, call the doctor to verify orders and do treatments that were suppose to be done a long time ago. I also have seen the "bad" nurses sitting reading a magazine not completing none of there work and then complaining later when they are reprimanded that they did not have enough time. I have also encountered nurses who will walk all the way down the hall into another residents room and tell you that one of your rooms has thier call light on when your right in the middle of cleaning BM off another resident. (She actually had to pass the call light to get to me). I also seen those same bad nurses do a complet turn around once the State drops in. I have never seen them run so fast to answer a light and all the sudden they have plenty of time to "help" the CNA's. But I also know a good many nurses who were CNA's before who are extremely business doing the great tasks that we have went to school for and well. The good nurse who will give a bed pan to a resident and pass her meds if the situation calls for it. I'm not saying that they do it all the time, but when they are free and when they work a CNA doesn't mind working twice as hard to make that LVN shine. I have found that no matter what a person does whether they are teachers, doctors, nurses or aides, everyone feels they do more work than anybody else. CNA's job is extremely physically challenging and stressfull where you have no energy for anything else. But the LVN had to work hard to get that license and keep that license and her responsibilities are enormous she is responsible for all the CNA's and the patients on the floor. Your mistakes are her mistakes. Don't worry to much about the bad nurses their laziness will come to a head eventually. You just keep your eye out for the good ones. Make them your role models and go get your License and show them how it's done.

I was so worried that I failed because I think I had more Pharm questions in the history of NCLEX testing (30 to be exact). But I passed and it was a grueling wait. Thanks everyone for posting your threads. I didn't feel like I was waiting alone. (3 weeks) But the waiting continues now I have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks for my license. :chuckle

Good Luck to you too.

Con grats BIG B. You deserve it? Now Go Buy You Something Nice!!!! :biggringi

New to this site. LOL that everyone here sounds and feels just like me and if one more person tells me they know I passed I'm gonna scream. My test shut off at 96. Thirty of which were pharm questions. Im seriously going crazzzzy. What web site can you look at to get your results if your from Cali? Or is it true I have to be tortured for two more weeks?

Hi everyone knew to the site. Took the NCLEX Jan 6 and it stopped at 96. I had almost thirty pharm questions and wanted to cry. i don't mind priority questions that was fine, but I don't think I passed. I had never seen any of those drugs before except one. All the questions seemed hard to me. I got 3 easy ones. Why does CA have to take so long to give results. The waiting is agony....
