    Memory Notebook of Nursing?

    Devil_Duckie replied to MiaKeaRN's topic in General Students

    As far as I remember, they would have several pages for each system...like one illustration for Cushing's, one for Addison's disease, and so forth. They're pretty much like a coloring book, full of...

    what do you say when thanked?

    Devil_Duckie replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    Out of habit (I worked at a Chick-fil-A for 3.5 years, and they ground that into our heads!), I always reply "it's my pleasure!" It's truly a reflex, but it is genuine and a lot of people (especially...

    Memory Notebook of Nursing?

    Devil_Duckie replied to MiaKeaRN's topic in General Students

    I found out about the memory notebook from one of my professors...she made copies on the endocrine sections for all of us and they were invaluable! Especially for us visual learners! I found that...

    Is it weird not to wear a scrub top?

    Devil_Duckie replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought when I saw this thread was of one of our charge nurses coming in a few weeks ago wearing a grungy t-shirt and warm-up type pants. She literally looked like she had rolled out of bed...

    Pinning Ceremony Music Suggestions

    Devil_Duckie replied to m1m2givens's topic in General Students

    We voted ahead of time for our slideshow, the processional, and the recessional. I know that The Beatles' "In My Life" was used, and a Celtic -inspired instrumental piece by Michael W. Smith was used...

    Bling on the job?

    Devil_Duckie replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    You completely misconstrued my statement. My post read 'I don't think the infection control risk is huge so long as you religiously get that ring cleaned and frequently wash your hands.' Washing your...

    Bling on the job?

    Devil_Duckie replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 1/3 carat diamond set in platinum and (in my opinion) it doesn't stick up too high to get easily caught by gloves and I clean it every day (religiously!) but in nursing school, we were only...

    What kind of Clothes should I wear to the NCLEX?

    Devil_Duckie replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I took mine a few days ago, I wore really comfy gauchos (they feel like pj's!), flip flops, and a t-shirt. I brought a zip up sweater because I get cold at the drop of the hat and each testing...

    I failed my skills test.

    Devil_Duckie replied to zooz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ((((Zooz)))) Keep your chin up! That was extremely unfair of them to fail you for one little slip-up (not to mention that you remembered and fixed it...and they still counted off for it!) but you know...

    ncsbn learning extension, what you think?

    Devil_Duckie replied to Simon1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I failed my NCLEX-RN the first time and took two months to study before retaking it. I used both the Saunder's book (Suzanne's plan, although I only completed the first step) and the learning...

    GREAT news!

    Devil_Duckie replied to Devil_Duckie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would never go so far as saying that the NCLEX is ever easy...but I did find it to be a little less difficult than when I took it the first time. It was still frustrating and I felt like I was...
