  1. Help! Just barely hanging on!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to carolina9803's topic in General Students

    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. Are you only allowed to practice in the state where you took the NCLEX?

    Miss Chybil RN replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to carolina9803's topic in General Students

    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,"...

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

    Miss Chybil RN replied to WittleOnesRN's topic in General Nursing

    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!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!

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

    Miss Chybil RN replied to misplaced1's topic in General Nursing

    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.

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks, llg! I think it will all turn out fine.

  9. Ok. So, I'm devastated.

    Miss Chybil RN posted a topic in General Students

    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.

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in General Students

    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.

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in General Students

    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.

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in General Students

    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....

    Miss Chybil RN replied to d'cm's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    Miss Chybil RN replied to nnicolee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to kikif0910's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Miss Chybil RN replied to ernoc333's topic in Nursing Humor

    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

    Miss Chybil RN replied to NurseJosh's topic in Emergency

    Congratulations! That's very exciting!

  18. It's FRUSTRATING that....

    Miss Chybil RN replied to ernoc333's topic in Nursing Humor

    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?

    Miss Chybil RN replied to ernoc333's topic in Emergency

    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!!!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    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,...

    Miss Chybil RN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    (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. Arizona Patient Protection Act introduced- Sets Safe Nurse-to-Patient Staffing Ratios

    Miss Chybil RN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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

    Miss Chybil RN replied to angelwings33's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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!...
