You get a thrill pulling the leads off a hairy chest.

You wonder why the CRNA's,who are supposed to have more education than you, bring a pt in without even so much as 2L via NC and yell at you to "give them some oxygen" and their sats in the low 80's. And you get a look like come on stupid. *** The out...

I know this may sound strange. I work in Oncology, and we have this young lady that is rejecting her donated kidney. She is receiving dialysis M, W, F, but is still able to urinate a small amount. Well, tonight, she didn't call me after she voided. ...

I don't work at Maria Parham, but Henderson is a nice town. I was born and raised there. I lived there until I remarried 4 years ago and moved to Sanford. It's close enough to Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill for entertainment. Maria Parham has bee...

I am a new grad. (graduated May 2007). I started right away in the OR. But found out I did not like it. The work isn't hard, but it's not for me. So I applied for a position on the Inpatient Oncology floor. My question is: Will the past few months I...

I read a similar thread in another forum. (First year nursing) Just wanted to see what OR nurses are carrying in their pockets to get you through the case or day.

I took both the class and the online trainer questions. I feel that the online trainer questions along with the other information that Kaplan offers online was more helpful than the class. I felt the class was boring, the instructor couldn't help us ...

I had graduated, passed my NCLEX and will be starting my OR job on July 16. I would like some advice, from experienced nurses and some nurses just starting, on what can I do to make my orientation process run as smoothly as possible. I am very excite...

I am starting in general surgery for 1 year then I am transferring into open heart. That's the plan discussed during my interview. And I'll be a circulating nurse.

Shel, any word yet???? I also took it on the 27th and I haven't gotten my results yet.

I took the NCLEX in Raleigh yesterday. I only had 75 questions. My appointment was at 3:00 and I go theree about 2:15 not knowing what kind of check in process I would have and they took me right in, processed me (5 min) and startd the test by 2:25. ...

Well, it was my day for the big test. I had my test scheduled for the afternoon so I would be sure to have gotten enough sleep and have time to eat a good lunch. I took my test with a classmate. We both wanted someone there for support. We decided ...

Does anyone ever feel good about these tests??? Take some time to get your mind off of it. (easier said than done) You have prepared as much as you could. No one ever feels fully prepared. Go get drunk, see a movie, spend some time with freinds and f...

Jodyangel, let us know how you did. I take my NCLEX on the 27th. What did you do the night before the test and the day of the test?? Some of my nurse freinds told me to do something fun and not to look at any questions beginning the night before. Me....

I graduated in May and was offered a job in the OR at the end of March. I am going into general surgery for 9 months to 1 year then transfer into an open heat team. So you can go straight into the OR after school. Depends on you hospital if they wan...

Well, today was my last class. I have finished with nursing school!!!!!! :smiley_aa My class is thinking about decorating our caps and outting RN on the top in glitter. Has anyone done this?? We graduate Thursday. I am not creative at all. I was ...
