  1. Ugghhh, another new nurse...

    Conqueror+ replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    A new grad at my facility was having trouble flushing a G-tube. As a rookie she didn't know that the last thing she should do was just apply more pressure to the plunger. When the tube "backfired" all...

  3. Should I take a job that pays less in order to be home at night with my child?

    Conqueror+ replied to kathrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see putting anything in front of my sons well being. If you can get the other job with better scheduling take it. Your options will open up again after he gets through this rough patch. He...

  4. How do you get your patients to do what they have to do?

    Conqueror+ replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh yes they are (half

  5. Hate being an RN

    Conqueror+ replied to MILOBRI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot of it is how you carry yourself. I am from the south and the good ole boys club is strong and systematic. Selective deafness/blindness has worked well for me in all my years of nursing. You get...

  6. How do you get your patients to do what they have to do?

    Conqueror+ replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    When I worked geriatrics I would tell them that their son/daughter ______ would have my hide if they weren't up/dressed/pt'd/fed/medicated by the time they came to visit. Worked 95% of the time. With...

  7. A&P

    Conqueror+ replied to sbtr50's topic in Excelsior College

    I gave myself 3 weeks to meet a deadline. Did 2 chapters a day. I believe there were 23 chapters in the book. I spent the remaining days going over weak chapters until I had a minimum of 85% on every...

  9. Free RN to BSN Applications/ Transcript Reviews

    Conqueror+ posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    To anyone looking for an online RN to BSN program I thought this thread might be useful. My money is pretty special to me these days so I wanted to share what I have found. Since most programs want...

  10. LVNs/LPNs being phased out?!

    Conqueror+ replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not sure where you are but in Central florida that is NOT the case. Many LPN programs cannot even do clinical rotations in the hospital anymore. The rationale is that we won't hire you to work here...

  11. Family claims hospital's staff shortage responsible for fatal crash

    Conqueror+ replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is horrible and the hospital doesn't care one bit. They will replace her and move on. That is something many nurses do not understand. The facility does not care about you. Your loyalty means...

  12. Jane Fitch MD, prior CRNA, now Anesthesiologist elected president ASA

    Conqueror+ replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is it me or are the pearls a bit much? What kind of picture is she trying to paint exactly ? I find that almost as offensive as her message. Women can't provide medical care without their baubles ? I...

  13. if you could do it over again....

    Conqueror+ replied to abiggie's topic in General Nursing

    Almost a whole year ? This is like asking a newlywed what marriage is like. Of course the person married 20 years will have a different opinion. You just have to ask yourself whose opinion you prefer....

  14. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Conqueror+ replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Started at

  15. Just how do we find preceptors?

    Conqueror+ replied to ChristineN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I refuse to fork over 50k and do the most difficult task associated with my program. Why do you think they put it back on the

  16. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    Conqueror+ replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As a supervisor I have to replace you regardless of the reason. I don't understand pressing adults for personal information. Many will just

  17. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    Conqueror+ replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you don't learn to deal with it now it will carry over into your nursing jobs. You will be marked as a target and you will find yourself in the same situation. They can't bait you in a conversation...

  18. Samford University FNP-January 2014 Start

    Conqueror+ replied to nursingisawesome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you all required to find your own preceptors

  19. Prayer Before Surgery

    Conqueror+ replied to orscrubcutie1's topic in Operating Room

    I think that everyone's faith is personal. Many people don't believe in treating it like a dirty secret that must be hidden until you clock out like an ugly tattoo on your neck. I don't force my...

  20. PA-C or NP? What would you do?

    Conqueror+ replied to Guttercat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's a straightforward scenario but feel free to go far fetched. The bottom line is that a PA's ability to practice is tied to the Physician who can choose to hire them or not. They are governed by...

  21. PA-C or NP? What would you do?

    Conqueror+ replied to Guttercat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well my being a good strategist has nothing to do with Physician's controlling PA practice they just do. My rationale is pretty basic. Let's say your family's drinking water was in a large container...

  22. Looking for adn-FNP online program with a low GPA

    Conqueror+ replied to Newnurse29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Get the BSN with a great GPA. You can finish in a year if you focus and then get into a good FNP program. Thats what I had to do. No biggie. And if you go to student doctor forums there are PLENTY of...

  23. So which school DON'T make you find your own preceptors?

    Conqueror+ replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also, everyone doesn't have the network to find their own. I had 2 that were willing but their practice is part of a medical management group that only contracts with 1 local B&M school. There are...

  24. A&P

    Conqueror+ replied to sbtr50's topic in Excelsior College

    I used A & P the easy way ONLY. Did the book front to back, and chapter end tests/quizzes that I got below an 85 on I put in a separate pile and then I went through the book a second time only...

  25. So which school DON'T make you find your own preceptors?

    Conqueror+ replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
