Just a technique that helped when I first got started......if you have access and your employer doesn't mind, use drip tubing, foam tape and betadine/water in a syringe.......tape the drip tube to a mayo stand covering tubing with foam tape.......giv...

Hear, hear and AMEN to that!!!!

We were just given the "word" at our ER that this mandatory hourly rounding was a big "STATE" issue and it would now be required. Well, the only thing I can say about all that is "sure, whatever you say". I work in a small rural ER with 2 RN's staf...

I graduated in May '08 too and found people throwing jobs at me.......I live 2 hours east of Dallas/Ft. Worth area and Texas nurses are a hot commodity in any specialty area you choose. Good Luck!

With the nursing shortage in such the state that it is, a job change might actually be a suggestion, barring that I do use sleep medication and it absolutely does not affect me negatively, however I also have diagnosed insomnia so it takes alot to pu...

Does anyone have any information about the new requirement for Texas nursing student graduates to take the Nurse Practice Act Test that is supposed to be required for students beginning Fall 2008? I have also heard a rumor that if you have not gradu...

I guess it's sorta as I've been told all along ..........nursing school is one of the hardest, most rewarding endeavors that you'll ever pursue. It is truly an entirely new way of learning and cramming and learning some more. Go plead your case and...

Great, thanks so much....I believe we do have access to Blackboard in our tutorial program from the library

Thanks so very much for your time. I also saw the "D" contracture with some of the other stuff I was looking at. The problem with the library idea is that I live in a very small Texas town and our community college has very little of nothing especi...

Hi....sorry you're having a bad day but whatever you do....don't give up. We're the same distance along in our respective programs and it sounds like there might be a big push to start trying to weed some out before 2nd year starts. Have you tried ...

Interestingly enough, this situation came up just today and was discussed in post conference. This didn't happen to me but to a fellow healthcare team member in my class. We are just finishing up second semester RN training and we don't deal with I...
