    Why dont' nurses help each other?!

    chevyv replied to scorpio24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I always try to help out nurses. I will never understand why nurses would eat their young. Makes no sense other than to make themselves feel superior. I've been eaten many times and I've learned to...

    chevyv replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    I love this site! I have so much to learn. I'm surprised that as a diabetic, the pt didn't have a bs check done before eating but if the admit came around supper time, then I could see it getting...

    Help...I CAN'T fail nursing school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    chevyv replied to Ecpi Raleigh 07/09's topic in General Nursing

    When so high a percentage of students fail, that should make that instructor take a long hard look at how he/she is teaching the material. Unfortunately, the students who fail have no way of...

    Anyone heard of a DON losing their license?

    chevyv replied to Bug Out's topic in General Nursing

    That was a funny comeback! Our DON was fired, but I believe she retained her license. Facts were pretty hush hush. I thought they just moved them around to a different facility. I'm sure though...

    I'm very disturbed by this

    chevyv replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this would be a great time to suggest masks be available in every room. We had to make sure they were there every shift. I didn't have a chance to read this whole thread so forgive me if this...

    Nursing Student-Getting discouraged and overwhelmed

    chevyv replied to beatrice1's topic in General Students

    I felt the same way towards the end. We all used to sit around after clinical and talk about how we felt we knew less than when we started. Normal! Your putting it all together now and that can be...

    RNQuiz.com, anyone using this site?

    chevyv posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just signed up at RNQuiz.com to help prepare for my upcoming nclex. The main reason was because it's $50 for a year. I don't have a lot of money so I thought this site would be better than...

    NCLEX RESULTS

    chevyv replied to diaz050305's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. Just keep checking. There isn't really anything else you can do if your state isn't a quick results state. I can't even imagine trying to live a normal life for 4-6 weeks after taking...

    A cute way to remember some lab values.

    chevyv replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Thanks for this! I'm taking nclex in Feb and can't memorize lab values to save my life. This though I can do! I went through nursing school with my instructors comment of "Lab values differ from...

    WOW at least they are being honest...

    chevyv replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    It doesn't make me shudder to know that some people choose nursing because of the pay scale. I always sit back and wait until they are working. I'm a lpn right now and have learned that you will...

    Anyone had this problem?

    chevyv replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Now that I'm a nurse I attend to my pumps right away just because I know how annoyed most patients become with the beeping. I also wish there was an alarm at the nurses' station instead of on the...

    Anyone had this problem?

    chevyv replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA, I would silence the pump and then let the nurse know. Sometimes those pumps are beeping for 45 minutes before the nurse could get in
