Hubby's girl

I just erased the rant I had in reply to a couple of you. Take a look in the mirror and tell me you are perfect; NOT! It takes a lot to work med/surg and NOT all nurses have no clue - we DO have the knowledge of the pathophysiology of patients and th...

if it were per minute, as in no pump; multiply by 60minutes instead of 1 hr

this was all so long ago! I graduated RN school in Sept of 11; it was very trying for us, I worked and still had the house to take care of. Good luck to allof you!

:typing Hi all. I just took the Teas test this morning. I was so sure that I'd find out whether my score was good enough to get into the school --today--but I was told they need to have a meeting to see what the minimum score is that they will accept...

I have a co-worker who I like as a person and a nurse; but she is very "bossy" when it comes to expressing her opinion. She is loud and will let you know if she thinks you did something "wrong" or something she would not do. No med errors , just judg...

Good for you-but too bad that family member drove you from nursing. Best of luck!!

OMG, so sorry this happened to you I would feel the same way, but these people are right, you did everything right, fight for yourself!!!!! :hlk:

yes it can. It's about money, usually everything is.

I don't know--I don't know why some of those questions are on there. I do know that I'm glad I took Microbiology, nutrition and psych already. I think they helped a little on one or two questions. There's a lady in my A&P class that needs to take...

Hi!!! I found out that my teas score was good enough to get me into the RN school!!! So happy I don't have to worry about THIS anymore! Good luck to anyone who is taking it--I thought it was very hard. I've been out of high school since 1981. You new...

did you do okay???? I still don't know anything:scrying:

This site is my support group!!!!! I love it:heartbeat:heartbeat

Let's see.... How do you figure the mass of an atom? Know how to form a new atom from the Periodic table of elements; I don't know. Allelles (spelling) were on mine. Questions about rock/plates. My first question was actually on clouds . I know the ...

i just took it today- and posted a long paragraph on my experience. i do recommend the practice guide and also--importantly- the practice computer test that is optional when you buy it. on the practice test- they tell you qhat the right answer is and...

:banghead:I don't enforce visiting hours or say ANYTHING anymore about behavior of visitors. Yrs ago I suggested nicely that two visitors stay in an extra room that we provided(bed) so they could rest rather than sit in a chair all night. I was repor...

I feel bad for you. First though, don't think that was a good job that you resigned from. It's good for you that you're not there. I feel sorry for the pt's at a facility like that too. Work any nursing job you can get (that isn't like the previous s...

:(I'm scheduled to take the Teas next month. I've got the review manuel and I'm concerned about Math too. Algebra for sure. I'm hoping I can miss a few Algebra and still pass the math section. Looking through this manuel, it's a scary thought - just ...

Unbelievable! That's one reason I don't like the concealed weapon law in my state! Anyone can have a gun!!

Treat your patients like they were your Mom, Dad, little brother. What would you like someone to do for them? Not turn them? My Dad got heel ulcers in our hospital ICU. They were too concerned for his heart to pay any attention to turning. Being his ...

Be GLAD you do not work at this place anymore. It sounds like I wouldn't want to be part of it either. Keep up your stellar performance at your current job.

So many days are busy...that is the norm now. Management wants us to do it all--and get out on time. Just not possible!

I was admitting a patient and heard the room mate and his wife say "do you remember when you would have your bath by 8 am every day?" the roommate did not get his supplies to take his bath until 10:30-poor thing.

If it were acceptable to wear a cap- I would. No one wears them anymore...you could tell a nurse from a housekeeper and so on.:typing

Expertise will come with time. Did you get an orientation to this hospital? At least ask someone to give you 5 minutes before you start your shift and go over the pumps. It might take too long to read the manual. I think I'm actually better than some...
