  1. Broward College August 2010 Conditional Acceptance?

    EmmyBee replied to alisonelizabeth's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have no idea if this is helpful or not. But when I was applying to the LPN/RN transition program last year, I was worried that I might have to take A&P 1 over, since I did it in the military....

  2. stupid documentation!

    EmmyBee replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    This was funny. I think in order for a person to be embarrassed, they'd have to actually know that what they wrote was incorrect. These nurses probably wouldn't see anything wrong with their...

  3. Embarrassing/Clumsy Moments!

    EmmyBee replied to BKCinNOLA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yeah, you know it's bad when everything in the entire room stops. Not a good sign, at

  4. Embarrassing/Clumsy Moments!

    EmmyBee replied to BKCinNOLA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Of all my embarrassing moments, the one that made me cringe the most was when I was a student. I did my LPN course in the military. During the first six weeks, the class was very big, consisting of...

  5. What would you make of this?

    EmmyBee replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your new plan. You should always know what's going on with your patients, no matter what role you are performing in. Read what you are allowed access to, ask their nurse for a quick...

  6. New nurse, new to the site

    EmmyBee replied to blessedmomma247's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for clarifying, because I genuinely wanted to know what you meant by your comment. Because of your thread, I actually took a few minutes to google where the different states ranked in health...

  7. New nurse, new to the site

    EmmyBee replied to blessedmomma247's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the site! BTW, I'm from Florida. I'm curious to know what makes you come to this conclusion? Is it based on the one place you worked for 3 months? Please enlighten

  8. Advice for new grad RN, after terminated after 3 1/2 months

    EmmyBee replied to luvnursingRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You didn't mention what shift you worked at the LTC. But maybe you should consider getting a night job at one for now. My first experience at one was on day shift, and it was a disaster. But I didn't...

  9. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    EmmyBee replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the exact same thing. And in their home, at that? Anyway, that's none of my business. OP- I agree that you should politely tell this person that you do not want him calling you...

  10. LVN not a "real nurse" .... how to handle that?

    EmmyBee replied to strawbrykiwi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I checked out your profile, because I wasn't sure if you were already an LPN or not. That way I could try to help you answer your question. :) First, let me say that LPNs ARE real nurses. Yes, RNs...

  11. Nurse is an Angel

    EmmyBee replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting story! I believe the Lord works in mysterious ways. She must really feel like part of the

  12. NO jobs for new nurses, I may quit school.

    EmmyBee replied to oceanbaby's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should quit. But you have to ask yourself if nursing is truly what you want to do. If so, then continue on with it. Things change all the time. And I'm quite sure you'll eventually...

  13. why is a person so evil?..... venting here

    EmmyBee replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Bumblebee- One of my biggest pet peeves, is a co-worker who will talk negatively about one of their own, to patients. It's completely unprofessional. Unfortunately, I think we've all run across...

  14. Ever Killed Someone?

    EmmyBee replied to Bug Out's topic in General Nursing

    this was my understanding of the thread, as well. i can’t remember what every single post on this thread discussed. but i do know that the majority of replies didn’t even answer the op’s...

  15. Seeing loved ones before death?

    EmmyBee replied to Keila's topic in General Nursing

    i definitely think there's something to it. i had a case one night, where my patient lived alone. her children lived nearby, so they would come and visit daily. on the second night i was working, her...

  16. Ever Killed Someone?

    EmmyBee replied to Bug Out's topic in General Nursing

    you don't have to disclose it, but i have to ask. how do you think you killed that one person? just curious. right now i'm working hospice while in school. i had two patients who were actively dying,...

  17. What do you think about students asking for a higher grade?

    EmmyBee replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    I don't think the instructor should have changed the grade, simply because this student was "close" to the next higher grade. I have been mere points away from an A on a couple of occasions. But I...

  18. Yelled at a patient

    EmmyBee replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Your charge nurse seemed like she was trying to diffuse the situation. Mentioning that you needed a psych eval, certainly wasn't the most appropriate thing for her to say. However, she might very well...

  19. Can anyone give me an idea of how much financial aid I can receive?

    EmmyBee replied to leslie27's topic in General Nursing

    Have you established an account on your school's website? If not and you are able to, try doing that and check to see what you were awarded. If you can't or aren't sure how to do it, you would need to...

  20. LTC Nightmare

    EmmyBee replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Leaving isn't always the answer, but in this situation, I would have done the same thing. They didn't give you the full orientation, which unfortunately happens often. Regardless, things happen,...

  21. Broward College May 2010 Acceptance

    EmmyBee replied to RN2BKD's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, with the exams we always took them online (except in GIGU). And initially we WERE allowed to go back to questions. But then they stopped that when we got to Peds. They said that for the NCLEX...

  22. Broward College May 2010 Acceptance

    EmmyBee replied to RN2BKD's topic in Florida Nursing

    Great advice, Sunray! And I definitely agree with the part about not changing your first answer. I knew quite a few people who ended up failing an exam by one or two points. And had they not changed...

  23. Why do nurses eat their young?

    EmmyBee replied to mindyt289's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with 50. I feel the old saying, "kill 'em with kindness" has often worked for me. I'm back to agency nursing right now while in school. I'm doing Hospice, so I don't work with other nurses....

  24. weird interview...

    EmmyBee replied to aura_of_laura's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, maybe someone is being promoted, one person resigned, and another is being transferred within the facility, at their own request. But seriously, it doesn't necessarily have to be negative. Maybe...

  25. For those who live in Miami

    EmmyBee replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I'm not sure either. When I said that the "wait" was longer, I wasn't referring to a waiting list. For me, I was not accepted to Miami Dade when I applied the one time. In fact, I know several...
