  1. Can someone help me figure this out?

    delrionurse replied to nadenka's topic in General Students

    Just my take 1. How many ml's are there in 1 teaspoon? 5ml; in 1/2 teaspoon? 2.5mls 2. Always figure out what the ordered dose is. Then use the formula. the ordered dose is 2.5mls (1/2...

  2. Nursing School Fail out

    delrionurse replied to Timothy Andrews's topic in General Students

    As long as this is legal in your state, this is necessary. People won't be accountable until they are caught. No one deserves to be treated

  3. Help! I failed nursing school in March and I still feel horrible

    delrionurse replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    Cookie, is it possible that your clinical instructor reads these sites? You might want to be careful with your information based on your past posts. With that said, I'd file a complaint and appeal. I...

  4. Media: Where are the Nurses?

    delrionurse replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sometimes nurses are portrayed as frantic and panicking, pushing people out of the way. It's so ridiculous when that's not the

  5. Retaliated Against for Being Male in Nursing Program

    delrionurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    To retaliate 'for being male' doesn't seem to ring true. Being on time and participating seems to hold more weight than making mistakes. Were any of these an issue for the

  6. Call IPN? All the evaluators in northern Florida?

    delrionurse replied to BChicago's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you considered you did something wrong? Sounds like a personality conflict and maybe this 'manhater' is not playing

  7. RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    delrionurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    actually Ve and R are quite close together if you're doing a quick

  8. Nursing School Fail out

    delrionurse replied to Timothy Andrews's topic in General Students

    Were you on time to all of your clinicals or was there a med error? Those are the only things I could think of for there to be a unanimous fail. Issues like being on time, & not missing a clinical...

  9. RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    delrionurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Look alike, sound alike drugs. It's the warning we're given in nursing 101. Vanderbuilt also tried to cover it up and not report the error to the medical examiner? The medical examiner also change...

  11. How to spot a bad nurse

    delrionurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Bad nurses are usually mouthy, to staff and to patients. They bad mouth staff and patients and also will skip out on

  12. Can a nurse report a MD for being rude?

    delrionurse replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just say it's our protocol that we call you in this situation. They are being paid to be on call, and they're aware that they will get phone calls about patients. If they don't want to be called about...

  13. Externship preceptor

    delrionurse replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar experience but it wasn't a whole shift. I was getting report on a patient, but the nurse I was assigned to wasn't there yet. One patient was to have surgery so I asked the night nurse...

  14. Best States for Nurses

    delrionurse replied to Mariel13's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree that the southern states pay the worst. California is a non compact state and to transfer by endorsement, it may take months and good luck with talking to a live person at the BON....

  15. Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    delrionurse replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

    What student who has never taken the NCLEX or completed nursing school knows what 'Authorization to Test' is? They just want to get it. It's unfortunate but no one knows how important that is until...

  16. Not sure what to do about my dog

    delrionurse replied to dizzycarrot's topic in General Students

    Any way you can get another small dog or otherwise to keep your dog company. That way your mom won't have to give too much attention and maybe offlay the attention while you're not

  17. Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    delrionurse replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

    Can you contact the Board of Education. That seems against the law to withhold information on hard earned degree....

  18. I'm 55 - Is it too late to become a nurse?

    delrionurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I also think that maybe the OP should go to a community college program which is cheaper in case there are barriers, but she/he could choose whatever program they wish so the long term cost won't be...

    delrionurse replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    Does that really matter? It's all about the family and what they want these days. By the time hospice rolls around, the patient is not verbal. At least in my neck of the

  20. LTC Question/Opinion

    delrionurse replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    Issue is working the hell out of these aides. They've got a lot on their plate already. Oh just 'call the aide' like it's a hotel. They get tired too. I would suggest to use discretion doing

  21. LTC Question/Opinion

    delrionurse replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    It will continue until there is a lawsuit. If bare minimum is available they'll take it. Start asking before your shift if there will be an aide available, if not, call

  22. I hate my clinical professor, would this be a good idea to ask her?

    delrionurse replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    They're not minor, they shouldn't have jobs. Like I said, some students aren't the best at clinical but will make great

  23. I hate my clinical professor, would this be a good idea to ask her?

    delrionurse replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    Not everyone is the greatest at clinicals, but will be a great nurse. People get 'feelings' about other people, not to mention actual experience, and that should not be invalidated. These instructors...

    I have not read through the whole thread, but is there a dosage calculation exam for this school? How many attempts do you

  25. LPN to ADN at age 64

    delrionurse replied to Cnalpn's topic in LPN to RN

    What's wrong with getting your RN? I'd say as long as it doesn't cost $20,000 (if you don't have that laying around) then go for
