    worried about dissection

    chevyv replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a clue as to how expensive a cadaver is. I attended the local public 2 yr college and we had one. I still learned way more for the cadaver than from the cat and fetal pig from high...

    Scared at new job in psychiatric hospital

    chevyv replied to GypseyGirl's topic in Psychiatric

    I work with 22pts, 1 lpn, and normally 3 cna's. Most of the time I would love to have more staff. It is dangerous and I don't think I would stay with 18pts and only 2 psych techs. We don't have...

    Corrections nursing

    chevyv replied to klausybear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You pass a lot of meds with guards either right next to you or close by. Some pods the inmates come to you and form a line and in other buildings you will go from cell to cell. You'll hear a lot of...

    worried about dissection

    chevyv replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't believe I ever stated what I hold sacred. A human can make the choice to donate themselves for study, while animals cannot. Most animals end up in shelters or get donated. Either way, they...

    worried about dissection

    chevyv replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's awful to dissect a cat or a pig. There are cadavers now and that seemed cool to me. I learned so much more than looking at the inside of a cat. How do you feel about cadavers? If...

    National Provider Identification Number

    chevyv replied to mlok's topic in General Nursing

    You have to fill out paperwork online and then you will get your number. This is the number you will bill under. It doesn't take that long, but it is government so don't be afraid to follow up...

    Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    chevyv replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please realize you are 50yrs old and sitting up front talking with the male security guards who are in their 20's makes your cougar behavior obvious. Did you not notice the 10 charts sitting there...

    No breaks (class action lawsuit)

    chevyv replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I take my lunch almost ever shift I work now. I also make sure the rest of the staff take theirs. If I don't take a lunch, I fill out a slip and had it directly to my AR before clocking out. I've...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    chevyv replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    It doesn't stop when school ends. Working with a bunch of women is difficult. We still have the back-stabbing, talk-trashing, rumor starting wenches in the trenches! Makes me wonder why I got out...

    chevyv replied to TLSpaz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are so many differnt types of nursing out there. You'll get something that will be much better! It's not an easy job for sure and starting off in ER would have been difficult for me. I'm...

    Working third-shift while attending school for nursing?

    chevyv replied to heidster's topic in General Students

    I couldn't do it for sure! After working all night and then just attempting to focus in the am.....I would fail out within the first semester. That's me though. Good luck to you

    chevyv replied to Monica08's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the original post was IVTT which I've never heard of and the response was intravaneous through a tube. Still never heard of that one before considering IV line is a tube of some sort..... It...

    How can I impress the director of our nursing program?

    chevyv replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    We've been hearing talk of LPN's going by the wayside for years and years now. ADN's seem to be getting our turn now too. I'm just wondering why you feel the need to impress her? Your grades,...

    My worst fear come true.

    chevyv replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    We all make mistakes, and the one you made in clinical, you will never ever make again. I'm so sorry you aren't going to make it this semester and by the sounds of it, you will make it next semester....

    Need help with test question

    chevyv replied to Gaff1's topic in General Students

    The only way I would adjust the O2 rate is if there are standing orders. Calling the physician again is what I would do, but I doubt I would wait that long. I would also want to know what the pts...

    Medication Errors?

    chevyv replied to Monica08's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. IV is through a tube so sorry, I've never seen TT before. This may sound a bit stupid, but how can you give albuterol, which is ventolin via IV? Have you seen it? How could you draw it up to...

    chevyv replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    In Wisconsin, if a patient spits on you they will be issued a ticket to appear in court and pay a fine. If they cannot appear in court, a guardian will be told to appear. The ticket will stand and...
