    anh06005 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    INTJ! - home health nurse and soon to be FNP! I've taken this quiz before so knew my type. I think it's pretty accurate in it's descriptions

    Too Soon to Start MSN for NNP?

    anh06005 replied to cmary's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well I'm finishing my FNP program and the NNP program is much like mine you usually have book work for the first several semesters before you actually start clinicals. I have been going part time (so...

    Surviving the first job

    anh06005 replied to NYNursEmily's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd wait and see what the other unit nurses have. When I was on the floor I had a 1.5 or 2 inch notebook with dividers. Between each divider was one of those zippered pencil holders. Each section was...

    New RN drowning

    anh06005 replied to babyrn3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I made up a patient info sheet I'd use for each patient. It has general info, tell number, history, labs, my physical assessment, etc. If I had that filled out I had at least a good chunk of info....

    First Shift Jitters

    anh06005 replied to miamiabean's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You'll forget stuff. You're human. When you do make a mistake LEARN FROM IT. I freaked out one night when I saw I was supposed to call ABG results to a doc per order. It was like 11 pm or midnight. I...

    6 Hour Lecture?!

    anh06005 replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in General Students

    Oh yes everything RN403 said. Also I'm a doodler so I always kept an extra sheet of paper around to doodle on. Sometimes just a quick doodle could let me pay attention for another section. Also if a...

    BP Cuff

    anh06005 replied to pmabraham's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    To those saying you don't need to practice because you will use electronic BP cuffs I say shame! There are plenty of areas that still use manual including some doctors offices and I work home health...

    have my dreams of being a nurse been shot down?

    anh06005 replied to kavitag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that's mathematically possible. A junior usually means you have at least 60 credit hours (freshman 0-30, sophomore 30-60, etc.). To find GPA you multiply points based on your grade (4 =...

    Best Department for New RN Grad

    anh06005 replied to Latorie's topic in General Nursing

    In bigger hospitals they specify RN I, RN II, etc. In my local hospitals it's a bit smaller so hardly any of the job postings say experience required so new grads can apply for whatever and get...

    Im Out!

    anh06005 replied to SeaH20RN's topic in Home Health

    I do LOVE home care except for this recent....speed bump. We are due for a state audit any day now (in case I didn't admit that) so they are a bit frazzled but they seem to not think that we could be...

    finding preceptors

    anh06005 replied to micco's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I knew some docs get paid for students but never really knew how much and such. As I said, though, many do still have allegiance to that school and the PA program (they're about to start a FNP program...

    finding preceptors

    anh06005 replied to micco's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I called most of the clinics because I'm in a smaller town and about 80% of the docs are all associated with the same clinic (but the office lady was FAR from helpful...I figure because I wasn't a...

    Congrats! My office is getting worse by the minute by forcing the field nurses to do overtime (oh but they get it approved by the boss...just don't ask us) while most of the office staff (including...

    NP vs DNP

    anh06005 replied to andreead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Check with your state's board of nursing. Arkansas still says they have no plans to make a doctorate necessary for entry level

    Failed Another Quiz. Feel like giving up.😢

    anh06005 replied to alayzhial's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh and you'll cry again I'm sure. When you get in clinicals someone will say something that makes you feel stupid or your instructor will put you on the spot BUT we all have cried. I still come home...

    anh06005 replied to alayzhial's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First things first realize that you DID improve. So whatever you did differently is helping. Unfortunately it sometimes takes a few tries to figure out what study method works best for you. Try the...

    anh06005 replied to EmeryRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As with any sort if "traumatic experience" it will take a little time to work through it mentally. You were following the best practice but unfortunately it can't eliminate every event. Your head...

    Improving NP Education

    anh06005 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would also love a class about what to do after graduation. Through research I have figured it out and bookmarked pages/downloaded needed PDFs so I already have my plan of action but just yesterday...

    anh06005 replied to EmeryRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The only way you could have prevented it was to be in the room the one second that she decided to reach over for whatever she was reaching to grab. She may have asked you to get it instead. Maybe not....

    What PPE to wear?

    anh06005 replied to jwha's topic in General Nursing

    Just follow recommended precautions (standard, contact, droplet, airborne) and use common sense is what I say. Gloves for toileting and bathing. If someone is vomiting do whatever you need to to...

    anh06005 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As someone else mentioned my school required experience before the CLINICAL portion of the program. I had 3 years of book work before so had plenty of hours of RN experience (I only went part time in...

    anh06005 replied to maranda_b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only took 1 or 2 classes each semester and managed it fine. The problem is when you get to clinicals cause you often have to go to clinic 2-3 days per week to get your hours in. Thankfully this past...

    I have enjoyed it. Already knew the staff so knew what to expect from each one. And class is small enough they can still remember you and help you if need be. The nursing department is great and want...
