Ok, so I'm an RN new to cardiac floor, and as my personality is: I am having anxiety over "all things I don't know". Soooo, I thought this would be an excellent forum to be able to pick your brain. Little tips, things to ALWAYS do, things to NEVER...

Hello there! I know there has been a previous thread started on this subject, however it is pretty old and I wanted something more interactive to read and speak about. So, any of you out there been diagosed/self-diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? It woul...

Okay, so the story goes....I was hired as a new grad at a hospital. I worked there for about 3 weeks. When I went to request my transcripts so that I could take NCLEX, the records department told me that they couldn't release my transcripts because I...

That was the most beautiful and touching story. For some reason, I feel your pain and your gratefulness to Adam. You are a very good writer. I just had to comment on your story. I wish you luck in your nursing endevours, and God Bless You! Tiffan...

Okay, I'm not sure what it is...hypothyroidism, brain tumor, being overweight, you name it I'd like to get it all checked out. My problem is being able to concentrate or focus. When asked a question that requires me to recall from short-term memory...

Sorry to hear that, can I give you some advice, not that you asked of course. But anyways, I am currently looking for employment as an LPN and I cannot, literally cannot find work as an LPN. LPN positions are so scarce it seems that I think alot of ...

That's cute, "Selective Alzheimers", never heard of that one before. What kind of sleeping/exercises are you doing with success? I just get so frustrated with myself, when it happens, I think I have anxiety too, even though I don't like to admit th...

I can relate! Do you have a tendency of cheating yourself out of the sleep your body really even needs to function at your fullest potential. As, I am typing this, I'm wondering this myself. What is your story? Shhnack

Good stuff Chicookie!

Well, right now, I have applied for any LPN job in sight with no success. Our city's two hospitals just did away with alot of LPN's and so the demand just doesn't seem to be plentiful. This is why I'm going this route. Thanks Shhnack

Okay, so here's the deal. I'm currently an LPN, I will have my RN in May 2009. I am very interested in working on the Med/surg floor upon graduating with my RN. Sooooo, I was thinking, since I can't find any LPN jobs at the moment, I would work as...

Thanks for your input!

I know Joplin has been hit pretty hard!

Oh, my goodness yes, I have had problems with a nurse who trained me. She was very rough around the edges. I think she enjoyed making me feel lesser than her. It was a bad situation at first and after so long of her dogging me or acting so exasper...

Interesting, just found this information, thanks!

Okay, so any one had problems with relationships? If so, please explain, which types of relationships and to what degree. So far I haven't read much on this topic :) Shhnack

Just found this thread, can't wait to do some reading up on the experiences! Thanks, Shhnack

I'm going through the same thing myself, job-hunting and "the interview". It is very stressful for me, I want everything to go smoothly. Some advice I would give you is to try to relax before the interview, you better know that your nervousness is ...

Hey y'all is this thread still active? Just wondering cuz I'd like to join if it is! Shhnack(fitting username, huh?!)

I am working through a book right now called Math for Nurses....it is phenomenal, however when you get to the section of equivalencies and conversions, I am getting stumped. I know enough just to look at a basic chart to convert. However, when you ...

Has anyone heard of the Think Labs fully electronic stethescope? They visualize heart rate, the volume is adjustable, ect. Don't know alot about it, but I have some hearing problems. Right now I am using Littmans 3M 3000 electronic one. It is ver...

Thanks for the info on your thinklabs steth. Where did you get yours? What price range was it? I'm really contemplating buying one, I just would sure like to have a trial of it to compare my littman to.... Thanks again for your input!

Thanks I appreciate your input!! Hope you have a good day shhnack

Never heard of it?!!! Got any good books on it to recommend? Thanks a bunch! shhnack

Thanks for your response, I live in the Joplin/Neosho area and haven't heard of any class like what your talking about. I've often thought what better sense it would make to send nursing students into specific nursing math classes instead of or at l...
