    nekhismom replied to nursepearl's topic in General Students

    VIcky, I don't know what to tell you! I tried the same thing with my chapter this semester, and due to many personal issues, I didn't have a lot of success! I do think it is worthwhile, though, even...

    nekhismom replied to mattsmom81's topic in Texas Nursing

  3. bad pap

    nekhismom replied to juliey's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i, too, have had a LEEP. Not that bad, as another poster mentioned earlier. IT really would be heavy on your mind if you pushed back starting school another year if everything is ok, but you still...

  4. Are you a member of the NSNA?

    nekhismom replied to nursepearl's topic in General Students

    nekhismom replied to rpbear's topic in General Nursing

  7. Study of delegation tips?

    nekhismom posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    DO any of you have any advice on how to study appropriate delegation? I have never had any practice at this, and I have not heard anything about it in school other than that it is the RN's legal...

  8. In One Sentence; if you weren't a nurse, you'd be a ________

    nekhismom replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would work as a professional shower-arounder (he he) on some beautiful beach and be absolutely carefree! OR, I would be a singer ( used to perform on-stage a lot) or musician. I am still...

  11. burn pain management

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    The doctor is a general surgeon, as there are no "burn" doctors in the area, and he did not feel the need to refer my brother to someone further away or to contact home health. I asked, I was denied....

  12. Bush proposal to reduce nursing home inspections

    nekhismom replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well, I see Bushie is at it again. UGH! He makes me sick! How would he feel if it was his dear old dad in a nursing home and his dad was harmed? I bet he would want more inspections then! Just...

  13. Fingerprinting Texas Nurses

    nekhismom replied to mattsmom81's topic in Texas Nursing

    :roll ME either! And I won't do it next time around, either. I agree that the fingerprinting isn't a bad idea in itself, i just wish that the BNE could speed things up a bit! I am SOOOOOO ready to...

  14. Mad cows, orange alert...scared?

    nekhismom replied to ernurse2244's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    nekhismom replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I spent time at my mom's house this past week. today, I woke up early, went to my grandparent's house for a country ham breakfast, then packed up to come home! We stopped at my husband's grandmom's...

  16. burn pain management

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    I think it's totally inappropriate, too, especially since I don't have burn care experience. I've never even been on a burn care unit! We didn't have one in my area, they were all shipped out. My...

  17. burn pain management

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I am one who believes that pain is what the pt. says it is, and if they are screaming, they NEED MORE MEDS!! PERIOD!! I have no wound care experience, but the...

    nekhismom replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't started working yet, but when i had my son 2 years ago, I was on my back with legs in stirrups. I asked to walk, was told no, dr. doesn't allow it in active labor. I was only 5 cm dilated,...

  19. Hesi Test

    nekhismom replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know what those sections contain because I never even heard of a HESI review manual, let alone used it. But on my exit HESI, most of the questions were general med/surg type questions. Some...

  20. Hesi Test

    nekhismom replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, it all depends on what kind of HESI you are taking. Is it the HESI entrance exam, HESI for a specific class, or exit HESI? All of them are different. Just so you know, one is not allowed to...

  21. Study of delegation tips?

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in First Year After Licensure

  24. New Job and Scared to Death

    nekhismom replied to AndiMac's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would be VERY scared to work as a new grad in LTC. Nothing against LTC, but that is an awful lot of responsibility for a new grad, especially if you were not a LPN before. Remember, it is your...

  25. Pay for experience

    nekhismom replied to poe me's topic in First Year After Licensure

    THe answer I have is that it depends. Some hospitals will pay for previous experience, others will not. One girl who was an LPN for 20 some years is staying with her current hospital in the same...
