  1. Pre poured meds

    littlehippie posted a topic in General Nursing

    I poured meds for one resident and was paged for an outside call from the lab. I put the meds in the top drawer and locked my cart and took the call. The administrator demanded my keys to the dart, I...

    Thank you for confirming what I thought! I'm speaking with an attorney

  5. I feel like I failed myself, I am so mad at myself:(

    littlehippie replied to tiffany311's topic in LPN to RN

    I was 36 & the same way at the interview. I was sure I wouldn't be accepted into the program. I wasn't a CNA, I wasn't CPR certified, all the things they asked, I didn't have them. I left so...

  6. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I finished with a B, also. I had a B for A&P I, also. Wish I could have made an A, but I'm happy with it, too :) Lana, thank-you for starting this thread! It was great to stay in touch with...

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My grade isn't posted yet, either. He usually sends out an email once he grades

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I want to take the next 2 tests soon, too. We're leaving on vacation 8/6 and the stress is killing me!

  9. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm glad that unit is behind us! I came out with an 80 on the test, but it sure was alot of reading! Onward I go! I'm not sure about the rounding up, I didn't think so, anyone

  10. I have really messed up.

    littlehippie replied to Heather A.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Heather, I am so happy this worked out the way it did. What a positive ending! If you hadn't come forward, and there was a pad left in the pt, just think of the devastating consequences for all of...

  11. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, that's good news! In a way, I guess they are getting easier :) Last exam I had 6 questions from the review questions. I'm still trying to read through the chapters, it seems at the midway...

  12. Babies cut during c-sections?

    littlehippie replied to rbytsdy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They used the vacumn on my grandson at a military hospital 6 years ago & the brusing was so severe! I never heard of such a thing! lol

  13. I have really messed up.

    littlehippie replied to Heather A.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    You did the right thing by calling. I am like you, and wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I hadn't made the call. Like others posted, we learn through our mistakes. Always take the time...

  14. RANT!! He left a dirty needle on my table!

    littlehippie replied to nursejohio's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think this, too, unfortunately is more commonplace than you would think. I followed the night supervisor on 7-3 shift and over the course of 1 year, found 4 sharps either on the bed of a pt or on...

  15. New Grad Thrown to the Wolves!

    littlehippie replied to IttyBittyCritty's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is common practice, unfortunately. I have worked in 2 facilities and for a nursing pool, and I was lucky to get 1 week of orientation. My 1st job out of school, promised me 30 days of...

  16. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    littlehippie replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA, about 10 years ago, I was allowed to doze in the dining room on the unit, with blanket & pillow provided by the nurses! They would wake us for every callbell. I thought it was...

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, there is an end of course survey. I put it in there last time and I'll do it again this time! lol Sheri

  18. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I totally agree! I thought this was a better way to take classes, but with no feedback we aren't helping ourselves! I wish I could know what I got wrong to go back and find the right answers! Oh,...

  19. what would your conclusion be

    littlehippie replied to cat123's topic in Psychiatric

    My thoughts are that she tackled all the problems life threw at her, by keeping busy and not addressing the issues. I think she buried the feelings and moved on, for the sake of her sanity, for the...

  20. Didn't think I'd feel this horrible

    littlehippie replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Two friends of mine just took it (RN) and both passed and both had 75 questions. Waiting for the results would kill me! Sheri

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the unit test yesterday, on the respiratory system. This was one of the test that I went into having alot of confidence. I had read the chapter twice, did great on the review questions (1...

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I WANT to take it with Simmons, but I can't do the lab portion locally & I'm sure not flying to Kansas! That's the dilemma I am in. I don't think we even need a lab portion for Excelsior, that's...

  23. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sciences are my weak spot - which really stinks for me, wanting to be an RN! How do you work on a group project? In chat?? Is the testing & quizzes online, as Edukan does theirs? I couldn't...

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    SEEMIK, did I read somewhere on this thread that you took Micro thru ccconline? If so, could you tell me a bit about it. Thanks. Sheri

    littlehippie replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I so much want to reply to her post with a wise crack! Maybe ... control of what?? The use of the inhaler? The breathing of the patient?? She was so vague! And you are right, she will NEVER make...
