  1. Not really miserable but...

    LauraMT replied to LauraMT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know if it's the drugs or the fact that the last couple of nights I won the patient lottery and had super easy patients, but I feel better. And a lot of it is probably because nice strangers...

    LauraMT replied to LauraMT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the replies. I'm guess I'm just trying to figure out my life. The problem is I really should have been a 50s housewife. Stay home and make cookies for the Wally and the Beaver. I don't...

  4. Should I be THIS freaked out over vomit????

    LauraMT replied to Tysmommy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I certainly don't enjoy the "vomitosis" but I'm getting very good at catching it in a bucket so I can deal with it. What I can barely handle is blood in a tube. Blood on the floor, blood oozing out...

    LauraMT replied to AmyD_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. report sheet

    LauraMT replied to Fairy5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I carry around a big fat packet all night. The little "brain-sheets" just don't do it for me. At the beginning of our shift we get the kardex and also a bridge worksheet that has all the scheduled...

    LauraMT replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was really worried about the NCLEX too because I feel like I was a "crammer" in school and didn't always have all the concepts down. 1. I got to Kaplan NCLEX RN strategy book and read it and...

  11. Does getting the last question wrong mean you fail?

    LauraMT replied to TexasTac's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Remember that 15 of your questions don't count--they are questions that the test is "testing" to decide if they belong in the test bank. So you can get 15 of them wrong with no repercussions--too bad...
