    Any good advice for learning to scrub?

    If you happen to be with a doc who you know loves to teach, ask them questions if you think they won't mind, and tell them why you're asking. Several docs i've worked with say they like that because it shows the willingness to learn. Plus it'll rei...

    Another thing that bugs me: I've noticed that some (not all) students will ask things about school or clinical work, saying they're having a hard time with something (understandable), and people will give the total answer. So all that's left for some...

    Seriously considering

    I'm attempting not to get bent out of shape about this remark, however, i did not get the impression that the OP was having THAT kind of issue.

    IUD retrieval??

    You couldn't pay me enough to get one.
  12. Marie_LPN, RN

    Tell me more about g-tubes and J-tubes

    Always call the doc, to see what to do next. Sometimes they'll want you to put it back in, sometimes not.

    IUD retrieval??

    The general procedure i've heard of is to contact the doc that put it in and go from there.

    Tell me more about g-tubes and J-tubes

    PEG tube is placed in the stomach.

    Ever notice this about allnurses?

    Or something else i've done a couple of times is DO the search then post the links of the horse-beating topics.

    Ever notice this about allnurses?

    And about the NCLEX threads, i don't understand, maybe just because i didn't freak out over it. I knew when my test date was, i took a few online practice tests a week before to get used to the format, read through NCLEX PN Made Incredibly Easy Once,...

    Your hair-do. Is it mandated?

    Ours had to be off of our face and off of the collar. So if you had long hair, up in a bun it went (a ponytail would still allow the hair to hang down). If you had short hair, it couldn't hang in your face, or you'd have to have barettes or a headb...

    Ever notice this about allnurses?

    I get annoyed at the threads where someone has a bad experience with one or a few nurses, then proceeds to label the WHOLE bunch with either of the following crappy, stupid stereotypes: Nurses Eat Their Young LPNs are jealous of RN That nurse must ha...

    Ever notice this about allnurses?

    Well, and i've also noticed, in some people's opinion, if you haven't posted in a couple of months, and haven't posted to a thread in months or years, it's assumed that you're never posting again as well. Nevermind that you might still be reading som...

    Are Techs And RN's equal in managements eyes?

    Exactly
  23. Marie_LPN, RN

    Why choose LPN?

    1) Cost 2) Schedule 3) Opportunity

    I second the Kleenex-warning. Beautiful site, though.
