  1. What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    invisigoth replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I just started as an LPN at a LTC facility. I can't imagine being anything other than a bedside nurse and I say this after I had the day from HE-hockeysticks!

  2. switching to bedside report

    invisigoth replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it from a patient POV. I dropped everything during nursing school to be with my mother for her exploratory surgery for cancer. Well her belly was full of it. The one day we were laughing and...

  6. Did anyone watch the Ben Carson movie on TNT?

    invisigoth replied to rn2bn07's topic in General Nursing

    I remember reading this book when I was young. My mother bought it for me. He also has a second book too. I wish I saw the movie but then that is what HULU is for!

  7. Too discouraged to try again

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

    Maybe you should consider an alternative format like an oral version of the

    Learn some good relaxation techniques. Those came in handy today. I strongly advise against studying in the last few days. Relax and bliss

  9. February 09 NCLEX Test Taker Support

    invisigoth replied to SummerGarden's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my boards today (PN). Shut off at 85 questions. I walked out of there feeling self confident and happy it was all over. I had questions all over the place. I had mental health, peds, maternity,...

  10. Nursing Students: How many hours do you student per night?

    invisigoth replied to midnight*sky's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One person's overdue is another person's underdue. I freaked out about careplan packets and maps. That was my thing. I love to read and I had a base of science already so I didn't have to study as...

    invisigoth replied to cmlatta21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking my NCLEX on Friday. Everyone has passed it from my class so far. One girl who took it got 12 SATAs and shut off at 85. She passed so freak out as little as possible. Go workout, go eat some...

  12. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    invisigoth replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    Paperwork is dispiriting

  13. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    invisigoth replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you've encountered patients getting sick while giving them their meds. What do you do in that

  14. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    invisigoth replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    I use calm drops and other homeopathic remedies myself. I also use EFT taps to control my moods and calm down when something at work upsets me. It got me through clinicals.

    invisigoth replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    I will echo the sentiments of most and say that becoming an RN will not save you from cleaning poo and vomit. Every nurse has his or her weakness. Mine happens to be the sight of vomit when "Auntie...

  16. Who else sometimes just feels like a bad nurse?

    invisigoth replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I totally feel ya. OMG more than you can ever imagine I totally understand and I'm not even a nurse yet! I just graduated and haven't taken my boards and I already feel guilty for

  17. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    invisigoth replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I don't wear a bra either. I don't understand the other comments about you not wearing a bra. Maybe the boobs bouncing all over are offending other coworkers (probably offending other women I'll bet)....

  18. Do you raid the patient fridge?

    invisigoth replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wait till the end of the shift and take a sandwich home if no one else eats it. They throw them away and I hate seeing food wasted. Got down to the end of nursing school and had no money for...

  19. every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

    invisigoth replied to FlowerbuddRN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Unfortunate. Not every LPN aspires to be an RN. If they wanted to be one, they would have been on years ago. Besides there are veteran LPNs that can run rings around the young chippie fresh out of...

    invisigoth replied to MsTn81's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just finished the focus portion of LPN school and am almost done. I'm sitting here working on my caremap and nurses' notes. Jeepers this is going to be the longest eight days ever. I didn't think...

  21. Smelly co-worker

    invisigoth replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she's sick with the cancer or something. I smelled my mother's cancer smell before she smelled it herself. Plus her friends (some who were nurses) used to her how horrible she looked and that...

  24. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    invisigoth replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not muslim but I do wear a headcovering during clinicals. Most everyone thinks I'm a muslim. I guess it's because of my skin
