  1. Protocol question on suicides where they OD on sleeping pills..

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Nursing

    When a client comes into the ER, and let's assume that it's known that they have overdosed on sleeping pills. What is the general protocol of care? Also, at what point are they permitted to go to...

  2. I failed out of nursing school my last semester....help!

    justme1972 replied to talker1584's topic in Nursing Career

    edit...sorry!

  3. My professors are disorganized!

    justme1972 replied to Training2bRN's topic in General Students

    Well, the level of disorganization in my school is getting ready to cost me my position in the nursing program. In a school environment, I have to have structure and organization or I cannot function....

  4. Protocol question on suicides where they OD on sleeping pills..

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! Now I understand better. Noryn, they did tell us that we should never administer ipecac without a physician's order, direction from poison control, or when the swallowed substance is...

  5. Well, I think I just flunked out of nursing school today.

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Students

    We had another psych exam today....I was the one who posted on our last exam where only about 15 students out of almost 150 past the exam. Well, we could only miss 10 on this exam and I missed 16,...

  6. Ticked off a Chaplin today

    justme1972 replied to pielęgniarka's topic in General Nursing

    I'm Catholic, and they do. They don't call it "last rites" anymore (and in my sleep deprived state the new name just flew out my head). In the event that a priest is not available to do so, the...

  7. Threatened to be Fired for "patient safety" issues.

    justme1972 replied to crimson and clover's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You are very welcome. Just remember that companies only have unions because once they have formed, it's against the law to disband them and not all unions are created equal. A great example is the...

  9. Have you failed the nclex and feel the exam could have been unfair?

    justme1972 replied to Iwillmakeit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, another way to look at it is this: They use questions that have had a "trial run" that have been asked, validated and used among a sample of other test-takers. As long as the question can be...

  10. Threatened to be Fired for "patient safety" issues.

    justme1972 replied to crimson and clover's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The other piece of advice that I'll give you, is never go to the union unless your license or your job is at risk. It's all about picking your battles. Once you go to the union (or human resources,...

  11. Threatened to be Fired for "patient safety" issues.

    justme1972 replied to crimson and clover's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I'm posting it anyway. You actually were not legally or morally obligated to tell your nurse manager that you were pregnant. The time to tell would have...

  12. Hep B Vaccine or not?

    justme1972 replied to alyx's topic in General Nursing

    They have been giving this vaccine for quite a number of years and to the members of the military long before it was available to the general public. I had no side effects from this vaccine...

  13. Freaking out over NCLEX test results

    justme1972 replied to abbynurse28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's a myth...if you get so-many questions wrong, it will shut off as well, it will only keep going for so-long. Just remember, people have passed AND failed at all numbers of

  14. Can I sue this nursing instructor?

    justme1972 replied to AnneMarieRN's topic in General Students

    Not trying to pour salt on an open wound, but in the TOS we are not supposed to use titles until we have earned that title. The poster didn't do anything wrong by pointing that out to

  15. No more free birth control in California

    justme1972 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in California Nursing

    I can think of a couple of things worse than an abortion... 1. Dumpster babies 2. Keeping babies that these teens don't want and the babies suffering the

  17. Goals for newborn with impaired skin integrity

    justme1972 replied to RN2BMU2009's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Pain assessments should be done on all newborns, just like adults. In the well-baby nursery we did this on every infant, every shift. A neonate can also be born with a defect not obvious at birth, but...

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hair has been falling out for the past few months...not in clumps, but in strings and the volume of my hair has decreased dramatically this year. I went to the physician on Friday to have my...

    justme1972 replied to ks8552's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  21. A&P in first year nursing school. OMG

    justme1972 replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    One tip will give you on memorizing the different parts for practicals and labeling exercises, is to copy the image out of your book, white out the names, then make several copies of that image....

  22. A&P in first year nursing school. OMG

    justme1972 replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    A&P is very, very difficult no matter where you take it. So far I haven't had anything in nursing school anywhere near as difficult as A&P was. Can you be more specific about the problems you...

  23. clinicals the needles are getting to me, please help

    justme1972 replied to sfranRNstudent's topic in General Students
