  1. So angry right now. Warning: Extremely long

    *LadyJane* replied to HappyPediRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ugh, Oh I am so sorry your father and you, and your family have to go thru this. Like someone else recommended, please do collect copies of his chart(s) and all his med recs. It would save you all a...

  2. Enduring the Pain (long-ish)

    *LadyJane* replied to EleRico's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the possibility of sales, either drug sales rep, or surgical equipment sales rep too. Lots of driving around, talking to doctors, re-stocking doctors drug cabinets, going out to lunches,...

  3. Recognized by coworkers on AllNurses.com?

    *LadyJane* replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if you had something that required being somewhat revealing, you could just dump your old name here, and start a new ID, then drop that one, or build an alter ego, also known as a "sock" or a...

  4. How do you practice this??

    *LadyJane* replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    The hardest part of blood drawing or IV starting is finding the vein. Sticking the needle for a shot or IV or blood draw is just a finesse thing. If you want to practice something,you can practice...

  6. If you fail one class do you fail out of nursing school?

    *LadyJane* replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    It's one strike you are out at my school. To Shawnygirl003, you may not know it yet, but most schools *also* administer the HESI test, an "exit test" which is alot like the NCLEX, and you have to...

  7. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Since the school is publishing an untruth by it's 100% pass rate, may I humbly suggest that the students might want to talk to a reporter at your paper and tell their stories. I'd be surprised if the...

  8. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    *LadyJane* replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Passing on negative gossip makes someone else look bad, but also makes you look bad. Passing on good gossip (ex. Wow, Julie did awesome on her (whatever). You should have seen here do that. or...

  9. How do my chances look

    *LadyJane* replied to doodoobutter's topic in General Nursing

    Some colleges will excuse parts of a college transcript if there is a gap of time between then and now. This is great if you have some bad grades that might drag your future gpa down. The only...

  10. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Another result? I imagine that the students that failed HESI but passed when they got additional chances to remediate were also happy. Your college sounds like it has a reasonable plan for...

  11. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    2btmanrn, Oh if I had paid 9 grand and a year of my time and I was not prepared to take and pass HESI and NCLEX, and the school had no plan to help the students remediate, then I would seriously begin...

  12. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    2btmannrn, The people who failed HESI and subsequently were denied graduation need to go to the college as a group and ask the nursing department for any remediation opportunity. If they are denied...

  13. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    *LadyJane* replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    To the original poster: Read and reread what Jolie posted (at the top of this page.) She is quite correct about graduation rates versus NCLEX pass rates. When selecting a college to attend for your...

  14. Unmotivated patients VS pain?

    *LadyJane* replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    You might be fighting fear here for the second patient. The first one, well, I don't know why he'd need his wife to feed him... guess he just wanted to be spoiled. Yeah, if people are konked out and...

  15. Dealing with racist co-workers!

    *LadyJane* replied to mytoon38's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What she said! I also am sad to see this happen to you. Also, every place I have ever worked lately would consider this bad behavior to be a firing offense. See your HR office to check, and make a...

  16. Cultural Diversity

    *LadyJane* replied to texasmedicrnj's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Nurse2b09, You probably already know this,but from my experience... The lady was most likely showing you respect by using the term "colored". That is what my parents taught me to use when I was a...

  17. How do you deal with gossipy co-workers?

    *LadyJane* replied to Tolos's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to be careful about what food for lunch you bring in to work. If your fish meal for lunch includes Asian fish oil/seasoning sauce, that stuff smells so strong that it can run everyone...

  18. Forced Blood Draw Questions

    *LadyJane* replied to first offender help!'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Call your county courthouse law library. The librarian there, or the court clerk's office may be able to refer you to pro bono attorney, or a legal aid office. Check with your state bar association...

  19. Working with International Medical Grads (IMGs)

    *LadyJane* replied to alan headbloom's topic in General Nursing

    Alan, you stated: "Since 25% of the physicians in the US now are graduates of foreign medical schools" cite, please.

  20. Working with International Medical Grads (IMGs)

    *LadyJane* replied to alan headbloom's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen that many, many patients rely upon nursing staff to explain over again what the doc said primarily because they cannot understand english spoken with a thick accent. Therefore, it costs...

    *LadyJane* replied to jlmb214rn's topic in General Nursing

    *LadyJane* replied to RNtowering's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  23. Risk of open wound on hand while working?

    *LadyJane* replied to soffy's topic in General Nursing

    *LadyJane* replied to Katkot's topic in General Nursing

  25. Smoking on Campus

    *LadyJane* replied to ScrubMan0416's topic in General Nursing

    You're twenty one. You might not always be as perfect as you are now. Why not give other human beings some slack. You might just need some yourself "down the road".
