  2. NCLEX Question of the Day

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I get so many hits on "nclex questions", and of course I'm too impatient to look at them all.

  5. Help With Blood Draws

    EyesForward posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I thought this would be a good place to get some suggestions. When I have a patient with small veins I can usually always find the vein in a hand with a syringe and a 25 g. needle. I get a flash,...

  6. NCLEX- Test for more than one state?

    EyesForward posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I sit for the NCLEX can I test out of more than one state in a sitting? Do I have to reside in each state I'm interested in testing for?

  7. NCLEX- Test for more than one state?

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. So after I pass the NCLEX I am licensed in the state I took the exam, but no others until I apply for a license (probably pay some money, no test) in the state I plan to move...

  10. What are your basic procedures post-mortum?

    EyesForward posted a topic in General Nursing

    Help me understand what you do when a patient dies. Suppose the patient is in a semi-private room? What do you do when the pt. has to be wheeled down the hall where other patients and visitors are?...

  11. How to call a code?

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    So, does that mean if the nurse finds a patient not breathing, etc. she calls out down the hall for someone else to call the code, or picks up the patients phone to call the operator, and then turns...

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    EyesForward posted a topic in General Nursing

    Mine got stolen a few months ago, (along with all my jewelry), and since then I've been making 'do' with my digital Ironman. I'm looking for a better watch with a sweeping second hand, and luminous...

  15. Help With Blood Draws

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Alix, I'm so glad you mentioned pediatric tubes, since I've never seen one, and wondered if such a thing existed. Are they exactly like any other vacutainer tube, but just smaller? Is an infant...

  16. Help With Blood Draws

    EyesForward replied to EyesForward's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You know what, our facility discourages us from using the vacutainer system on hands, I guess because the vacuum is so strong in the tube it blows the veins? I'm relatively new at doing draws, and am...

  18. Why can't I be a nurse?

    EyesForward replied to Cali's topic in General Nursing

    My 'little' sister is a surgeon (an ENT), and is asked no less than 10 times/day how old she is. She's 39, but weighs about 115 lbs, stands about 4'4", and has looked way younger than her age since...

  19. Prereqs 7 years ago

    EyesForward replied to tjello's topic in General Students

    In addition to what everyone else said, if you don't need to redo subjects, beware nursing pre-entrance exams include questions drawn from each of these prerequisites, especially math (alg, ratios and...

  20. Grumpy Secretary--what would you do?

    EyesForward replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    I know you, Rotten Nurse. You bumped into me in the CCU the other night, and I apologized. I came for a line draw (your responsibility), but you snarled at me when I approached you with the label,...

    EyesForward replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Amazing, what underlying prejudice can be exposed with casual statements. Think about

    EyesForward replied to joe1's topic in General Nursing

    Joe, you're cool for wanting to get a jump on your new life, and I am approaching things in a similar manner as I anticipate starting an ADN program in Jan. You sound excited, motivated, and ready to...

  23. Hair style poll: Long or short?

    EyesForward replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    I found its more time consuming to keep a short cut looking nice with haircuts and morning styling, and so my longer hair gets twisted up and secured with a nice claw

    Hi Jennifer, This'll be my one morning post, since I have an A&P II Lab midterm this morning! First of all, hello and welcome, and you will enjoy this board very much where students of all stages...

  25. Health carrers I can obtain in less than a year?

    EyesForward replied to jgg765's topic in General Nursing

    I am a recently phlebotomy grad finishing up clinicals. So far it's been what I'd hoped for, a bird's-eye view of every unit of the hospital, clinical and patient exposure, and a way to make a few...
