2. First med error - crushed a SR tablet

   mistyda replied to mistyda's topic in New Nurse

   That's what my preceptor at the time said pretty much; crushing it and giving it is better than not giving it at all.

3. Would you give this order?

   mistyda replied to mistyda's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for the replies. My preceptor at the time was one filling in for my regular preceptor who had to be gone that day. I know my other preceptor would have stepped in immediatley. I told her the next time I saw her that I wished she was there for ...

4. Would you give this order?

   mistyda replied to mistyda's topic in New Nurse

   I think I just stood there lol. I was surprised and at a loss for words. It's good to know if that's a common practice because then I could at least understand his frustration at why his pt. was still sick and I didn't do what he wanted. I'm struggli...

5. Would you give this order?

   mistyda posted a topic in New Nurse

   I'm in orientation on a med/surg floor. My pt. was 30 years old and 25 weeks pregnant admitted for nausea and vomiting possibly relating to a chole done the month prior. The order was 4 mg Zofran and 25 mg Phenergan now. I remember being told by one ...

6. First med error - crushed a SR tablet

   mistyda posted a topic in New Nurse

   I had my first med error the other day and I feel so crappy; mostly because I think it was handled wrong. I am in week three of orientation on a med/surg unit. I graduated in May. My patient was an 80 yo with a fx pelvis after a fall. She was ordered...

   Thanks guys. I think Amiodorone was one of the options.

9. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   mistyda replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I just found out my test results are on hold because I finished in less than 60 minutes and that automatically flags my exam for review! Whew! Better than failing. The Arizona BoN updates its website within 24 hours and the others who took it yesterd...

10. Medication that turns skin bluish?

    mistyda posted a topic in Medications

    I got a test question stating a patient is taking a medication that is turning his skin bluish. I was asked to identify the likely medication. Silver was not one of the options. I can't remember the other options. Anyone know?

    JustBeachy, I took it in Arizona this morning. Maybe it's too soon...? Although I read other posts where they checked this soon. I'm just so nervous and scared. I don't even have to wait that long either! The Arizona BoN should update its site tomor...

    anyone see a pop up that says something like "test results on hold. A new registration can't be created at this time" when trying the "trick". That's not what everyone else's popup seems to say but that's what I got today....?????

14. finished in 75 questions today! pass or fail?

    mistyda replied to justbeachy27's topic in NCLEX

    Same story as you. Cut off at 75. Lots of select all that apply and arrange in right order. No med calculations or OB questions. Extremely scared. I know it's designed for people to miss 50% of the questions, but it's hard to be hopeful after that!

    I'm almost five months pregnant and starting my first semester of nursing school in two weeks. I'm due to deliver two weeks after classes get out, and two weeks before classes start again in January. I'm very nervous but just hoping for the best. :) ...
