  1. Has anyone received their license after submitting declaratory for bipolar?

    EmmyBee replied to kmdjkennedy's topic in General Nursing

    OP- I was curious what the answer was to this. I just checked and there are several threads on this topic. I didn't read them in detail. But it looks like many people are saying they either did not...

  2. Broward College August 2010

    EmmyBee replied to NMG86's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi! Hope all is going

  3. Broward College August 2010

    EmmyBee replied to NMG86's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm at south, about to start my second to last semester. I was deathly afraid to go there too. LOL But it made the most sense, since I live in Miami. After the first two weeks or so, you get used to...

  4. APAP Supp?

    EmmyBee replied to nursesaurus's topic in Patient Medications

    My thoughts, exactly (minus the "stinkyface" comment). OP~ Hopefully you received clarification of your question. Without the easily googled questions or topics, and people willing to share their...

  5. Self-doubt

    EmmyBee replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I don't think anyone has gone into nursing without having self-doubt. It is very normal to feel the way you do. I'll be starting my 4th semester next week, and I STILL have doubts that I will make...

  6. New RN...Am I being under paid???

    EmmyBee replied to RNewbie's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you had a chance to read through the following thread? https://allnurses.com/mississippi-nurses/want-real-scoop-149651.html It's from the Mississippi board. It started in 2006, but it has recent...

  7. Tidbits, facts, save-your-butts...for new nurses in LTC

    EmmyBee replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Here's another one. :) Before you call a doctor, make sure you have current vital signs and lab work handy. I always liked to have the chart right in front of me, in case I'm asked something about...

  8. Tidbits, facts, save-your-butts...for new nurses in LTC

    EmmyBee replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a few: Get to work with enough time, to make rounds on all your patients before you start your shift. I used to like to make them going from room to room, with the nurse I was relieving. It's...

  9. so happy!

    EmmyBee replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck!! You have a good memory. And you were always very detailed and thorough, when answering everyone's questions about BC and FIU. I really hope it all works out for you. Keep us

  10. I feel so incompetent

    EmmyBee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are NOT a lousy nurse. Everyone has days like this. It seems like one thing gets the ball rolling, and it's all downhill from there. You make one mistake, then get all flustered, and start to...

  11. Nudity?

    EmmyBee replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    That's what I'm trying to figure out. With the exception of the breast exams, people were talking about "stripping down" to sports bras/tank tops and shorts, for a LEARNING experience. And whether or...

  12. Nudity?

    EmmyBee replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    How, exactly, are the majority of these responses "demeaning" to the nursing profession? Someone posed a question and we answered. As you can see from the responses, some people did, indeed, have to...

  13. Working as lpn while doing adn program?

    EmmyBee replied to peas&carrots's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm currently in an ASN program. I work as an LPN, anywhere from 1 to 3 nights a week (12 hour shifts). We're all LPNs in my class. So for the week, there's only one clinical day (about 10-12 hours)...

  14. Nudity?

    EmmyBee replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    I kind of agree with this. We are supposed to be professionals and take it as a learning experience. But the bottom line is, there are some creepy people out there, and you just never know. And all...

  15. So dissapointed...

    EmmyBee replied to tierra399's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a veteran, and I know moving around and having to start over is not easy. But instead of looking at it as a completely negative thing, look at the positive side. At least you have the option of...

  16. Am I as crazy as everyone thinks I am?

    EmmyBee replied to Work in Progress's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that sounds crazy at all. I plan on taking mine as soon as possible, after I graduate in December. You have to do what you feel is right for YOU. Don't doubt yourself or let anyone...

  17. Quick question for night-shift nurses

    EmmyBee replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    I think all the advice you were given so far were great ones. From my experience working nights at facilities, I personally feel the dim lights in the room (nightlights, from the bathroom, from the...

  18. Lack of nursing jobs

    EmmyBee replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    I think just about everywhere is feeling the crunch. I'm in Miami and have been an LPN for over 10 years. I'll be starting my 4th semester of an RN program in 2 weeks. I have experience in several...

  19. Things you wish you knew when you were young?

    EmmyBee replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    1) Time waits for no one. I could never quite get back to school. Those two to four years seemed so impossible and far away. I always blew it off, believing I had plenty of time to do it later. But...

  20. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    EmmyBee replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    There ya go, OP! Problem

  21. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    EmmyBee replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    If this person fears for your safety because you're so "beautiful", is it not your FACE then, that is the problem? In that case, it really wouldn't matter what you were wearing. That preceptor's...

  22. is it ok if i write on somebody else's nursing notes and then she/he would sign it?

    EmmyBee replied to pennylane18's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What do you mean she "lags"? Is that because she takes too long to get around to it, or that she isn't good at it? And if you are copying exactly what SHE wrote on the 24 hour report, why can't she do...

  23. Help!! Not IMMUNE HEP B SURFACE RESULT!!!

    EmmyBee replied to NurseMR's topic in General Nursing

    My school offers the option to decline the Hepatitis B shot. I'm not suggesting you do that. But if, for some reason, they aren't okay with you not having the first shot prior to clinicals, maybe you...

  24. Respect?

    EmmyBee replied to trimm's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that some of the finest people I have ever met, have worn nursing uniforms. But like they say, with the good, comes the bad. And unfortunately, most of what the OP has stated, rings true. Or...

  25. Accepting this gift from a patient

    EmmyBee replied to nursingpower's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else saying to return the check, and bring it to management's attention. Things can change in the blink of an eye. At this very moment, I am witnessing one of my co-workers go...
