  1. MY mom wants me to but....

    onyx77 replied to onfire4gzuz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i hate to say it, but, i did turn down many ski weekends when i was studying for nclex. granted it is definately not the same as going to england - but with all the snow we had this year - it was hard...

  2. My ER experience....what do you think??

    onyx77 replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    There are primary docs that do not make a 'plan-of-action' for pt that only have migranes 4 times a year. My doc certainly didn't. Now my mother has them at least once a month - he jumped on that one!...

  3. MY mom wants me to but....

    onyx77 replied to onfire4gzuz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I say you tell your mom that you WILL go to England with her, but NOT until you PASS that NCLEX!!! Tell her that going to England with her would be an excellent way to celebrate passing and becoming...

  4. Ran out of time

    onyx77 replied to summerbummer21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I heard that when time runs out you are only graded on the last 60 or so questions. Try to relax and take your mind off of your test otherwise you WILL go crazy!!! Keep us

  5. serching for answers

    onyx77 replied to proud mom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked as a CNA in nursing homes for 6 years before becoming an RN and I have NEVER seen ANY of those signs! Did you ever figure out what they did

  6. My ER experience....what do you think??

    onyx77 replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you've ever suffered from migranes, but if it is 0200 (Dr's office is not open) and you feel one coming on (pt's with frequent migranes KNOW what is happening) and it is steadily...

  7. Should I be expelled?

    onyx77 replied to casurfer's topic in General Students

    I don't think that she took notes from the tests themselves, but from the studyquides as she stated. She was remembering content from the past tests. I've been out of school for a couple months now...

  8. T-shirt slogan for Intensive Care

    onyx77 replied to javajunkie's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in my last clinical rotation, I was in my pt's room when a guy came in and started talking to my pt. I was just talking with the pt - so I left the room. My clinical intructor asked me why...

  9. Nursing Interventions

    onyx77 replied to stjoa's topic in General Students

    Have you looked this medication up in your drug book or online? The school I attended required us to make our own medsheets for each med that we gave. On it we had to list not only the meds...

  10. Did you use a tutor or pay for a review for the NCLEX?

    onyx77 replied to soccer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Took the live Hurst Review and loved everything about it. I passed the first

  11. am I wrong?

    onyx77 replied to jess1018's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing by encouraging your sister to report it. If doesn't, I think you should. It doesn't matter how bad of a day that nurse had, there is no reason for her to talk to a pt...

  12. Bed bath skill check

    onyx77 replied to nrselisa's topic in General Students

    At the school I attended we were required to do CNA skills check offs prior to attending clinicals to ensure that we were familiar with the basics. It is difficult to concentrate on the nurse aspect...

  13. New Grad as Wellness Director?

    onyx77 replied to onyx77's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That was my feelings, but I guess I needed to hear from someone else (with more 'nursing' experience) to validate my concern. Like I said before, I am really wondering what type of facility...

  14. Wait to conceive after a miscarriage

    onyx77 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :icon_hug:I am sorry to hear about your m/c. You will be in my

  15. Survey for School Project - Need your help

    onyx77 replied to stephen283's topic in General Nursing

    That was the same as I was thinking! But, in addition to that, what if something is left on while the person is home (sleeping perhaps)? This could cause a fire as well and more apt to end in death. I...

  16. Survey for School Project - Need your help

    onyx77 replied to stephen283's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting! I'd love to know how it turns

  17. Nursing Interventions

    onyx77 replied to stjoa's topic in General Students

    I understood the question to ask about interventions specific to Valium. My simple little

  18. Nursing Interventions

    onyx77 replied to stjoa's topic in General Students

    What do you have far? I would love to help you, but this seems like something you could look-up in your drug book or online. I don't want to just do it for you - you will learn better by actually...

  19. Wait to conceive after a miscarriage

    onyx77 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My bestfriend had a miscarriage last year when she was about 25 weeks. I am not sure what rule-of-thumb is as I don't work in womens health, but her Dr. told her she could start trying again after she...

  20. Management!!!

    onyx77 replied to texaschic888's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My management class sucked! Nobody did well in the class. It seemed like everything we heard in lecture and read in the books was NOT on the tests! We had a lot of honors students in our class that...

  21. Question: taking the NCLEX before BSN graduation?

    onyx77 replied to wannabecatcher's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had the understanding that verification of graduation was required before you received the ATT. At least that's what we (school in WI) had to wait for. I could be wrong

  22. Needle Phobia

    onyx77 replied to zebra0611's topic in General Nursing

    I was the same way with IV's. But mostly just when I was watching others insert them and draw blood. I have found that if I am doing it that it doesn't bother me. Now, if the needles are directed at...

  23. Have you expierenced this?

    onyx77 replied to missnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    :hhmth: Boy, I didn't think Anna Nicole Smith was with us

  24. HIPAA and personal journals

    onyx77 replied to newlpn08's topic in General Nursing

    We were required to keep weekly journals about our clinical experiences. They were kept in our folders and used to help us see how we were progressing. It also helped the instructors with

  25. ERI Exit exam

    onyx77 replied to TSURN2B's topic in General Students

    I would have to agree that in your case this sucks! We did not have to pay extra for any of the ERI tests and we had access to practice tests on ERI as well, it was all included in our tuition....
