  1. Need Feedback on Bizarre Interview..

    missjennmb replied to jade381's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is to check your background information. Have someone call your references and make sure their response is glowing. Do a background check on yourself and see if anything comes...

  2. Do You Wear Gloves When...

    missjennmb replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student, and never intended to use gloves for non-indicated contact (like vitals and massage... my teacher doesnt care one way or another for that b/c its not technically required) Two things...

  3. I tried so hard.

    missjennmb replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    My first tests are always my worst barring unforseen problems (not getting the review due to absence/too many finals that week or whatever) Its the test that you never know what to expect on...do you...

  4. Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

    missjennmb replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe some are wonderful, but far from all and not the one I experienced thus far. Respecting rights of patients who are unable to complain about those rights or lack there of is up to interpretation...

  5. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I really do not think that anyone would take a thread title to heart considering the variety of threads that exist. I am sorry that it "disgusts" you, but if someone makes that kind of judgement...

  6. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    Thank you so much for the incredible feedback. I'm really happy to see that the people who posted against LPNs in the other thread are in the minority (and surprisingly vacant from this thread) I...

  7. Being an LPN in SC - Whats the Real Deal?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still just a student, but the small rural hospitals in my area are paying LPNs really well (they are also desperate for nurses). The numbers I've heard from LPNs working there are $19 to $21 p/hr...

  8. Medical Surgical Nursing

    missjennmb replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One thing I've recently started doing that has helped me a lot is to make a notecard with the patho of each disease on it, and line them up to compare. It really helps me understand how they are...

  9. Medical Surgical Nursing

    missjennmb replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't reach the point where I could photographically regurgitate the entire content, but I DEFINITELY read every single word on every page, in every paragraph, in every table. every.little.bit....

  10. how much are you expected to know about your drugs before you pass?

    missjennmb replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Since you admit that you don't know them by heart, and she was suggesting you do something and you were supposed to be folowing her lead, I would go ahead and look them up again. If I was the nurse I...

  11. What class was/is your hardest????

    missjennmb replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    I havent done OB/Peds yet but I love the birth process and love babies so I'm sure that will make it easier for me. I also haven't done our geriatric class yet, but generally from what I have learned...

  12. How to be more confident in clinicals?

    missjennmb replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    jpeters84 I completely did not expect that response. It made me cry so hard. A warning next time before taking such an unexpected turn would be great. I generally try to avoid posts like that....

  13. I used to care about a's and b's in ns, until........................................

    missjennmb replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    the problem is not that they were or were not experienced nurses... the problem lies in the fact that they do not require ONE IOTA of educational background to become a nursing instructor. Its a...

  14. How many classes did you take your first quater??

    missjennmb replied to ksauce20's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had Fundamentals, Med Surg 1, Lab, Clinicals, and AP1. Second semester we have Med Surg 2, Clinicals, Med Surg 3, Clinicals, Pharm and AP2. Its really kicking my butt to be honest. We are...

  15. OMG I may have a nervous breakdown...

    missjennmb replied to NiteOwlinPa's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'll trade you. If we miss class we get a zero on whatever was due. Period. I am halfway through my LPN program and took my first day off of class my daughters both had that horrific hourly...

  16. Do you make time for YOU? Staying healthy, peaceful, exercising, etc?

    missjennmb replied to ICor9:24's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No. I have no time for anything what so ever other than my responsibilities. Kids (all sick d/t repeated exposure to a horrific stomach virus), husband, work, school (4 classes this semester...

  17. Does nursing have to be your "calling" for you to be a great nurse?

    missjennmb replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    My first "calling" was to be a member of the peace corp. My second to be a Social Worker. My third "calling" was to do Software Programming. :) My fourth "calling" was to be a stay at home...

  18. Psych Nurses... Problem

    missjennmb replied to BlueTexas89's topic in General Nursing

    IMO if your family can watch your grandmother 24/7 until she gets to see a psychiatrist, then I don't see any reason not to take her out. BUT, while I don't know if the nurse was good or bad, I have...

  19. I used to care about a's and b's in ns, until........................................

    missjennmb replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I'm the same. I have always had a 4.0 even in some really tough classes in the past. But I have NEVER gotten an A in nursing school. I had a 93% in Fundamentals (94% for an A, so close!) but its...

  20. Starting nursing school with an infant

    missjennmb replied to Skiingnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I have 3 kids, and I'm married and working part time. My kids were 13, 2, and 10 months when I started school. I wish I had waited to be honest. If I did not have to work and my 13 yr old was not...

  21. Nurses Going to Med School

    missjennmb replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    Every few months the local hospital sends out a PR newsletter. In the back it lists all of their new doctors/residents and what their undergrad degree was. In a list of about 20ish new doctors and...

  22. If LPNs are being "phased out" should I forget about taking the LPN Program???

    missjennmb replied to Holly5477's topic in General Students

    There's nothing wrong with wanting to work in a hospital instead of LTC. Some people like it and some people don't. I know many MANY LPNs that don't work in LTC and I know a few that would never...

  23. Paralyzed by emotion when children are the patient?

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 31 yr old nursing student/former desk chained IT project manager. I have felt more and more at home at my clinical settings as time has gone by, and I am absolutely ADDICTED to the ER. Other...

  24. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    missjennmb replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    my bad, I misread

  25. Helping other students= FAIL

    missjennmb replied to superramvette's topic in General Students

    I dont think there is anything wrong with doing nice things for others, but it needs to come after you do for yourself. Your education is paramount and anything else has to come secondary as far as...
