  1. Help! Just barely hanging on!

    Just remember, if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else. I bet you're going to find things going a whole lot smoother by getting your study time out of the way before you...
  2. You can take the NCLEX anywhere, but you must apply for your license in the state in which you want to practice. Call the Georgia Board of Nursing and ask them how you should
  3. Help! Just barely hanging on!

    I think you may be being a little too hard on yourself and letting others be too hard on you, too. Let up a little bit. If the only ding you got on your clinical evaluation is "time management,"...
  4. HELP Resident calling baby "stupid" What to do!!!??

    :angryfire:
  5. HELP Resident calling baby "stupid" What to do!!!??

    Every time I read things like this I get shocked first by the alleged behavior and then the defenses that follow. Doctors and nurses are professionals and this is in no way professional behavior....
  6. After 3 months of searching I GOT A JOB! WOHOOOO!

    Congratulations!
  7. Any areas of nursing where the setting is more professional?

    I may be an idiot, but I think people get what they give. Sure, there are petty people out there, in every job and every profession. They don't tend to bother me much, because I don't bother with...
  8. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    Thanks, llg! I think it will all turn out fine.
  9. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    At the beginning of the semester I found out I had gotten my first choice for preceptorship - ED. I'm supposed to start next week, but the hospital just told our school they've decided they don't want...
  10. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    I just found out I'll be going to Neuro ICU. I'm not so upset anymore. In fact, I'm excited. Now, not as excited as I was about ED, but I'm still excited. It's going to be a lot
  11. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    No offense taken, llg. That would actually make more sense than that they're worried I might catch something and die. I'm just extremely disappointed, obviously. I've already talked to my preceptor...
  12. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    JT - How can a flu virus be more of a liability that TB, AIDS, assault, or whatever else you can get, or have done to you in a hospital - ED, or otherwise? Especially, if I'm vaccinated against that...
  13. I'm probably nuts for asking, but....

    Same here! Ex-smoker. Ex-Republican. I've gotten much smarter with age. Now, I'm a die-hard, Democrat. (Although, I have to admit, I was never a very good
  14. ADN or BSN programs w/ NO WAITLIST?

    Yavapai College in Prescott has no waiting list. I started there after I was placed on the Maricopa CC waiting list. I graduate this December - a year earlier than I would have had I waited for my...
  15. I finally got a job offer!

    Congratulations!
  16. It's FRUSTRATING that....

    You're right. I didn't notice. Just noticed the theme of ernoc333's posts. It's all tongue in cheek
  17. Starting in the ER next week

    Congratulations! That's very exciting!
  18. It's FRUSTRATING that....

    ernoc333, I notice in the other two posts you've started you seem to be very frustrated by patients in the ED. Now, that I've read this post it's quite clear. You even state so in the title. Maybe,...
  19. If an ER patient is Not Sick, are we still supposed to treat?

    I think it's weird someone would come in with rhinitis for 30 minutes prior to arrival. It would take 30 minutes to walk to the car, drive to the ED, and park. Then you have to check in, wait for...
  20. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Oh no she didn't just clean a very messy C-Diff patient with several warm wash rags and then lay those rags on the in-the-wall shelving in all their germy glory. And no I didn't find, a week later,...
  21. EXCELLENT website for reading ecg strips

    Thanks. My cardiac exam is next week! Perfect
  22. (Scenario question) How long do I have to stay with her? How often do I have to check on her? This is only part of a prioritizing question, but this is "my" patient and the rest of the imaginary ICU...
  23. Has there been any further action on this bill? I Googled it, but can't find anything more recent. I wonder if it does anything about CNA ratios, or if nurses will be expected to do more tasks...
  24. Health Assessment Resources, Techniques, and Forms

    This link was EXACTLY what I was looking for: http://www.hospitalsoup.com/public/Admissi3rev2.pdf (attached below) I don't think I'll miss anything on an assessment again! Thanks!...
  25. I was threatened by a Nursing Assistant
