  1. Is a certificate worth it?

    wonderbee replied to Coffeeman's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you mean an Associate's Degree a/k/a ADN or ASN? It's not a certificate but an actual college degree. A good many of us are getting our ADN/ASN through the community college. A BSN will provide...

  2. Blooddraw Techniques

    wonderbee replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the OP is a pre-nursing student who wants to get a job in the field? I had a heck of a hard time getting a clinical job before starting the program. In fact, it was impossible. OP, check with...

  3. Does anyone take adderall????

    wonderbee replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Students

    My daughter took it for narcolepsy, only briefly. She had a rather nasty reaction to it. She only took it for two days because it made her extremely

    Where in Florida? Info has it that Palm Beach Community College is beginning a part-time program beginning this

  5. I have a problem with this...

    wonderbee replied to FutureRNMichael's topic in Psychiatric

    In this neighborhood, and this is a big neighborhood, there is one child psych. He's got it locked up and knows it. He'll spend five minutes with a patient and diagnose and treat, even hospitalize...

  6. First Day Of Clinical - What to Do / What to Bring?

    wonderbee replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

    Remembering my first clinical experience. Heck, it wasn't that long ago so it's still pretty fresh in my head. We got our assignments when we all met together at the designated spot. Our instructor...

  7. First Year In Nursing School

    wonderbee replied to StudentNurse04's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just don't forget which is the front-end of the bedpan! Believe it or not, the first time I looked at it, I wished I had taken a crash course in

  8. how many classmates dropped in your first semester?

    wonderbee replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    Within just the circles that I hang with, I can think of eight students that will not be coming back next week for second semester. We started as 110. I too am interested in seeing who will not be...

    wonderbee replied to Aneroo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Spare me oh Lord and any of my kin from ever being a resident in a LTC facility with those kinds of

  10. Very concerned about my 3 year old daughter - blood in urine

    wonderbee replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in Pediatric

    I agree with the posters. If it was me, I'd seek out a pediatric immunologist or nephrologist referral. The welts you refer to are signs of an allergic response. Blood from the capillaries leaks out...

  11. Signing new grad contract?

    wonderbee replied to kurlykay's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Excuse yourself and run for the fire exit! It almost sounds like setting yourself up for indentured

  12. Sad story 480-pound woman dies after six years on couch

    wonderbee replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand this. How could she have remained alive that long... six years... in feces and I'm guessing urine

  13. When did we stop washing hair?

    wonderbee replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    We used to have these things that look like shower caps. You microwave them and put them on the patient's head and massage. I'm not convinced that it actually shampoos the hair but I'm sure it feels...

  14. New Bush overtime bill

    wonderbee replied to PHM's topic in Florida Nursing

    My thoughts on this is that nurses need to realize that we live in a political world and the only way to advance the profession of nursing (and the working conditions) is to participate in the...

  15. Nurse's Assistant vs. Nurse Technician

    wonderbee replied to najahlei's topic in New York Nursing

    I saw this and was kind of confused. I realize that you're concerned about NYC but Nurse Tech down here in Florida is a position created solely for nursing students in an RN program. There is no...

  16. Gandi's quote: what do y'all think?

    wonderbee replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

    I, me, mine are bigtime Western words. In the Tibetten hillside, it's always we. If there is but a little bit of anything, it is shared, therefore it is service to others. The thought of hoarding...

    wonderbee posted a topic in General Nursing

    A patient has lithium toxicity. She was dialyzed and remained extremely confused and twitchty hours after the dialysis. She is in acute renal failure. Is this

  18. immunization requirements- 2-step PPD

    wonderbee replied to Honeybun1206's topic in General Students

    I had to have the two-step PPD for work. School was not as particular and only required the one-step. Yes, It's the TB test. Just found out that my series of Hep B which I completed a couple of months...

  19. Need a Night Job to go to Nursing school during the day

    wonderbee replied to claire2000's topic in Nursing Career

    Most of the students I know personally, me included, work weekends. Many work at facilities in some type of nursing assistant capacity which will not even come close to what you are currently making....

  20. Too good to aide?

    wonderbee replied to adidas99's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't an aide assistive personnel? It doesn't make sense what you are asking. It's not a matter of being too good. The whole idea of being an aide is to assist the staff nurses. Why would an aide need...

  21. Nutrition Pre-req - easy vs hard

    wonderbee replied to Deb123j's topic in General Students

    Some found it difficult, others found it easy. There are some references to chemistry involved. Nothing like balancing equations or anything like that. Just very very basic stuff. Maybe that's where...

  22. Beat up by a resident, what to do??

    wonderbee replied to purple_angel24521's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Aren't there secure psych wards with geri units? Wouldn't that be the place for a violent patient? Surely there is some recourse for

  23. Ethical question...what would you do?

    wonderbee replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh! Now that the incident report has been filed, do you think the situation that promoted the med error has been rectified? 40 pts. and passing meds by yourself... geesh! The charge on duty that...
