  2. My first medication error-help!

    CitrusBeeRN replied to LovelyLucky's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am also a new grad, and I completely understand and relate to that feeling of feeling responsible for every little thing that goes wrong during a shift. So sorry you had to have an experience like...

  3. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    CitrusBeeRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    This nursing dx. was my all-time fave in school!! Much to the chagrin of my clinical instructors, I included it in a few care plans. Someone has to be concerned about the patients' 'energy field,'...

  4. Fun things to do while waiting for results

    CitrusBeeRN replied to lroseb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Argh!!

    CitrusBeeRN replied to crunchymomx3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also used the Saunder's book to study for the NCLEX. I recommend just doing quiz after quiz and make sure you read the questions very thoroughly. One of my problems, I found, was I wasn't reading...

    CitrusBeeRN replied to stumillardkm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    CitrusBeeRN replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

  11. Worst job interview ever... funny.

    CitrusBeeRN replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm sorry that happened. But, I did get a chuckle out of your story. I'm also a new grad, and I could totally see something like that happening to me. Like tripping and falling on the unit tour, or...

  12. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    CitrusBeeRN replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school (just graduated), I actually had nurses say, "Oh no, don't give me a student!" Some of my classmates were pretty hurt by this; I tried not to let it bother me. Usually,...

    CitrusBeeRN replied to JessicaSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    CitrusBeeRN replied to Proverbs 16:3's topic in New York Nursing

  15. Who passed the NCLEX using only the SAUNDERS book?

    CitrusBeeRN replied to qtpnai03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX about two weeks ago (passed), and the only book I used to study was Saunder's. I casually studied during my last two months of nursing school, and studied intensely the two weeks...
