  1. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    queen777 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    All of this sounds really great, but after working for 9 yrs. I was left on 11-7 all by myself. LPN, with two floors, long-term and subacute! I called the DON when I arrived at work before taking...

  2. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    queen777 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I would have given anything to have an RN instructor like you! Even before I was able to start the program I got jipped by the pharmachology teacher. He gave us this huge test only the second time we...

  3. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    queen777 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Can't agree with you there, that they pick on the younger students. I was the oldest in the group at 33 and I was given an awful time esp. the day I was given 2 total care pts and the rest of the...

  4. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    queen777 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I have got to say this. It was my LPN instructors who were great and actually treated us all like somebody and worked with those who were not so good to get them to passing, But I had the most trouble...

  5. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    queen777 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    Yep, I had a clinical instructor just like her and I too ended up in tears, but I overcame too. Funny thing is my daughter is now in engaged to a guy whose mother was LVN instructor. I just met her a...

  7. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    queen777 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    Oh did you ever say a mouth full! I would say don't push your luck and repeat, keeping very quiet, they seem to like those best who don't rock the boat! I tried beating it myself and realized there...

  8. What happens after med error?

    queen777 replied to natrgrrl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I always had my up-to-date drug book with me too. It is very important not to let others, no matter who they are, to distract you. I used to tell visitors who would want to come up and start a...

  9. What happens after med error?

    queen777 replied to natrgrrl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It takes awhile to become familiar with drugs and their appearance, but you will be "old hat" at it in no time. Maybe slow down, and if you are not sure it never hurts to ask no matter how much...

  10. Let's introduce ourselves...

    queen777 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeep, working as a nurse is a lot different than studying the books. Maybe take on an easier role as a nurse until you get your feet wet. I didn 't have any experience either and it takes awhile,...

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You sound like you will be a good nurse

  13. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    While this is a nice thought that RNs should clean or turn a pt, at my first job I remember one night I was on my way to answer a call light when my RN supervisor pointed out to me that the light was...

  14. Let's introduce ourselves...

    queen777 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take it from me, you won't see them for long. I missed all of my kids teenage years, but their dad was home with them so I didn't feel so badly about not being there, my daughter did though. she...

  15. Let's introduce ourselves...

    queen777 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's easier said than done. I was attending a community college for my RN and didn't pass by .3 of one point! The head of the nursing program was all too happy to get rid of me. I have no idea...

    queen777 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow how I envy you! You actually had a nursing instructor who was nice instead of intimidating. Congrats to

  17. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How did you go from LPN in Feb to RN in Dec? I am an LPN, I was going to RN training until I missed passing by .3 of one point and the head of the nursing rubbed my face in so badly that I didn't...

  18. I hate it!!!

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Finally someone who feels the same way I do! I worked in a free clinic and did it ever open my eyes. All colors of skin and nationalities, it didn't matter. And plus they bring their kids too only...

  19. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think she requests to work with you because she knows and can see by your reactions how she makes you feel, a little on the insecure side. I have worked with CNAs like that. I tell them when they...

  20. How to cope with a drug error - destroyed confidence

    queen777 replied to cloverfield's topic in Emergency

    I think every nurse should have to work in a nursing home first. You would have known that 6AM is the only time a nitro patch is applied, at least for those who get them routinely. I learned more in a...

  21. How to cope with a drug error - destroyed confidence

    queen777 replied to cloverfield's topic in Emergency

    As my nursing instructor once said to us as students, "if any nurse said she has never made a med error, she is lying." Which is true when you think about it. We are human therefore we will make...

  22. What happens after med error?

    queen777 replied to natrgrrl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just be careful as many drugs sound and are simiarly spelled as well. Some meds that sound alike are in both a pt's drawer and in the narc drawer, so just be

  23. quit first RN job after 3 months?

    queen777 replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Been there been there and there is no other feeling like it in the world. I had a lady crochet me a beautiful afghan. She was moved from my floor because she was doing better, but she wanted me....

  24. quit first RN job after 3 months?

    queen777 replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good thinking. Please don't stay if you are not happy like I did. It doesn't work! Eventually something hapens. It just like checking on a pt that you feel in your mind is not doing well. What do...

  25. Let's introduce ourselves...

    queen777 replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I remember those days as a kid with epilepsy and my dad taking me to some place in Tampa, just some little clinic. He would buy me a Coke which was strange as well. It made me sleepy. I always...
