  1. Partial vials

    missjennmb replied to parkercj888's topic in Patient Medications

    Partial vials are multi dose vials. Like... TB tests usually come in a vial of 1ml where 0.1ml is used for each test. You have to use them w/in 30 days (thats the standard at my clinic atleast) and...

  2. anything you wish you were told in nursing school that you werent?

    missjennmb replied to karyan06's topic in General Nursing

    The amount of paperwork you do may very well exceed the amount of actual patient contact by a trillion times Nursing does not necessarily mean 'not a desk job' Don't ever expect that doing what you...

  3. Please help!!! I need advice..

    missjennmb replied to precillar85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everything I needed to know about my job, I learned at my job. Perhaps thats not the case for everyone, but I almost feel like, with enough attention and a little bit of self educating along the way,...

  4. Working Makes Me Feel Mental

    missjennmb posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been working for 9 months. I love, philosophically, what I do. Until recently, I would have said that my mission in life, my calling, was to be in this office, doing exactly what I am doing....

  5. Any one else annoyed?

    missjennmb replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in First Year After Licensure

    what a great message... thanks for sharing your annoyance. I'm 33 years old, and I don't need to work. Call that an entitlement attitude, or whatever you want. I went into nursing because I wanted...

  6. I LOVE Community Health

    missjennmb posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I have been working at a community health center for about 2 months now. We are more a group of centers than one location. We are not public health, are not owned by the government, but we are run...

  7. I LOVE Community Health

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Public, Community Health

    When I posted this I was working at all of our sites, and since this time I've been hired full time at our homeless clinic. I love it beyond words. I hate office politics, but the patients and the...

  8. Best Area to Work as a New Nurse?

    missjennmb replied to RN4S22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is not the route for everyone, but I went into community health and I have had no trouble learning the ropes. I'm not perfect, but its not life or death, more of a preventative care/education...

  9. Lets get a current salary thread going for 09/10

    missjennmb replied to Finallydidit's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Like the other threads about salary I think we need to have: Area you live - Myrtle Beach, SC specialty - community health years of expearience - fresh out of school level (rn, lvn, etc) - LPN rate...

  10. Do the first year blues go away?

    missjennmb replied to mellowish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in my first year of nursing... Started my first job just under 3 years ago, and I love it. I don't work in a hospital or a nursing home, but at a community health clinic that caters to...

  11. Was it the right move?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you for the thoughtful replies. My past issue with online school was not one of time management, but it not feeling quite "right" to me, and then finding out as time went on that I should have...

  12. Was it the right move?

    missjennmb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am an LPN wanting my RN, but also not wanting to give up my incredible job to do it. The obvious choice sounds like distance learning. My goal, ultimately, is to get my MSN, either as a Nurse...

  13. Was it the right move?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't get so defensive.... its dissapointing and frustrating that when I post here I get either very little response, a negative response, or have to word my comments specifically to be as politically...

  14. Exhausted

    missjennmb posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in August and got my license in October. I started working in November at a community health clinic. I travel between 4 different offices, and care for everything from your standard...

  15. I passed my PN-NCLEX...so now what?

    missjennmb posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I dont know what to do with myself. I passed my NCLEX, made a resume, but now I'm just clueless... no idea what setting i want to work in, hours, nothing. I had wanted to go on to get my RN...

  16. I passed my PN-NCLEX...so now what?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got a job! (pending background check and physical) I am SO excited. I'll be working in a health clinic (think: free clinic) PRN going to their various sites to work with them all. I'm beyond...

  17. Corrections Nursing

    missjennmb replied to WildviewLPN84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I kinda think a job is a job if it works for you hourswise etc. But thats just

  19. My Educational Plans - Feedback from experienced nurses?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    I hadnt thought about it that way, rbezemek, thank you for the insight. So would you consider a school that has both online and brick and mortar classes, but which you can attend completely online as...

  20. My Educational Plans - Feedback from experienced nurses?

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am in the last mini-semester (summer...8 wks long) of my LPN program at my local community college. Other than 1 Med Surg class in which I got a C due to family issues, I have maintained a B...

  21. My Educational Plans - Feedback from experienced nurses?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the advice. :) The only reason I am trying to plan ahead is because it looks like after my LPN program finishes in a couple of months, I will have 2-3 semesters before my RN program...

  22. Did you work while in Nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked through 1/2 of my LPN program. I think it depends on a LOT of factors, some that you may have no control over. When my car was working, my children were healthy and my husband was happy...

  23. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    missjennmb replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    There was a post about someone praying for patients even if they did not want it (didnt quote because I'm on dial up and it would take 20 min to get back to that post). I think thats crossing the...

  24. Tell me about your Pharmacology Class!

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    Just wanting to compare notes, as it were: What your pharmacology class is like? How your teacher teaches it? What you think of your book? What tools do you use that you feel

  25. why do you care if a student misses class?

    missjennmb replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Taking days off is not "getting a break". If you miss class/clinical in my school, you may miss a quiz (automatic zero) or some very relavant information. If you miss clinical, thats on your head as...
