  1. which Chemistry class???? help please

    TallGirlAni replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you find that you have to take any of these classes that you feel are you weaker in, then I suggest a number of ways that can help you. But, remember to do this early on, as if you wait too late,...

  2. Assignment of Patients-- "You are too outspoken!"

    TallGirlAni replied to TallGirlAni's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thank you for your support. I will be sticking to my guns. I believe that my patients come first. Since the other nurses are silent when it comes time to back me up (although this happens to them, as...

    TallGirlAni replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX in early January (the first in my class to take it), and I had one study book (Lippincott), in which I answered about 250 questions total. I was lucky enough to have taken a...

    TallGirlAni replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are right for not going to the ICU, where you had no experience. In our hospital, the ICU nurses float out, but no one floats in. If you had acccepted the assignment and something went...

  6. elimination of nursing position

    TallGirlAni replied to storm1's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a Veteran's hospital, and as a federal employee, i find there are pros and cons. But, the pros far outweigh the cons, and although it is hard to find security at any job long-term, it seems...

  7. Me and my story,

    TallGirlAni replied to jda1977's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you get the arrest record expunged? When it is expunged, the prints are usually pulled out. Look into it. First, find out if it is expungeable. You research this on the internet, even. Have all of...

  8. elimination of nursing position

    TallGirlAni replied to storm1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you belong to a union? If so, have you told them? Have they done this to others before you? Sounds very fishy to me, as

  9. Me and my story,

    TallGirlAni replied to jda1977's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not know your relationship status (family, married, kids, etc), but you may look into relocating for the remainder of your college career. I would suggest looking into other schools that you can...

  10. Please help me-I have no idea what to do

    TallGirlAni replied to mdrkan's topic in General Nursing

    It seems as if anytime an employer is trying to make you feel guilty, then they are trying to pull one over on you. I would have to agree with the others who say that you should have a clearly defined...

  11. Failed NCLEX 3 times!

    TallGirlAni replied to 0morphine0's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At this stage, you may want to consider hiring a private tutor that specializes in NCLEX material. We had an NCLEX prep class that we had an option of taking with credit that met the last 4 Saturdays...

  12. quick results question

    TallGirlAni replied to AmyD_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Before you pay for any quick results, look up your license (the website where you applied for your license). My license was up within two days of having taken the NCLEX. If you passed, it will show...

  13. Full tim job, unemployment 4 lpn school

    TallGirlAni replied to belindam's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I also hate to burst your other bubble, but even if you get fired, it is still difficult to collect unemployment. The unemployment agency workers are not the friendliest and they will do everything in...

  14. safe medication charts

    TallGirlAni replied to nurina's topic in International Nursing

    The best system seems to be computerized charting and BCMA (bar code medication administration. As you are working on your project, you might want to push for a possibe conversion to this system as it...

  15. Sex offenders in LTC

    TallGirlAni replied to Renashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Have you ever considered using a fingerprinting system? Cost may be a factor, though I suspect. I work for a veteran's hospital and they fingerprint each employee. I have no problem with this as I...

  16. Just want to vent about a coworker.

    TallGirlAni replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad that you would have to turn off your ringer or unplug your phone to get a decent night's sleep, especially if you need to have it on in case there is a family emergency and you need to be...

  17. 1st Med error... and a valuable lesson!

    TallGirlAni replied to clee1's topic in General Nursing

    My mother has end stage liver disease. I once accompanied her to her appointment with her physician's assistant. I was shocked to learn that the PA recommended that she take Tylenol instead of any...

  19. Need assistance with medication errors

    TallGirlAni replied to 1pinkrose's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, we have the BCMA (bar code medication administration). I can't think of any other better system. We have med carts with lap tops on them and the patient wears a barcode wristband with...

    Does anyone know of any websites I could go to where I could type in a specific gene mutation and get the

  22. What would you do?

    TallGirlAni replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Work one shift and maybe call in sick for the other. That way it is a compromise. After all, don't you have sick time? It truly sounds like you have been sick, anyway. There is only so much studying...

  23. New Rule on My Unit......

    TallGirlAni replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Any kind of change is scary, especially when one has a routine. But, change can be good, because it can expose the good and bad things about the particular unit and workers. Fortunately, your manager...

    TallGirlAni replied to moliuchick's topic in General Nursing

    nurse:patient ration depends on floor. I would on post-surgical/ortho inpatient floor and we have 4 patients. Also, RNs have to cover the LPNs patients, so along with my patients, I may have to cover...

    TallGirlAni replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like you did the right thing. She is obviously abusing the situation and manipulating all of you to feel sorry for her. It worked before many times, she probably feels like she has found a...
