  1. Remind me to never work as a Sitter 7p-7a AGAIN !

    inland18mempire replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I've never done it but I certainly feel for the CNAs that do it on our floor. I can't imagine sitting there for 12 hours. Most of them bring in their bills/personal work from home and pay their bills,...

  2. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    Your opinion does not constitute truth. I stated my opinion, and you have stated yours. I do not appreciate personal attacks, which is exactly what people do when they have nothing else to

  3. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    Please come up with something a bit more constructive and less of a quick and easy personal

  4. Reading textbooks

    inland18mempire replied to Buff77's topic in General Students

    In my department we HAD to do all of the reading.The instructors would seriously (no joke) pull very random things from the book to test us on that were not discussed in class or even mentioned once....

  5. RN license

    inland18mempire replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    If you want to come to a state like California, then you contact our board and ask them what you need to do. Usually it's something simple like submitting your transcripts from school and your RN...

  6. Need some encouragement... It could be over for me!!!

    inland18mempire replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are TOO confident to me. All this "I was the FIRST one done" and "I knew I had it!" That kind of attitude will crush you. This is your last and final time to take the test. Go...

  7. Delegation

    inland18mempire replied to jackson145's topic in General Students

    I've been working as an RN for a while now and I don't really delegate the CNAs. Now that I think of it, I don't really delegate to anyone. The CNAs do their job of ADLs and linens and such, and I do...

  8. Listing GPA on resume?

    inland18mempire replied to Sensoria17's topic in General Nursing

    I would only list it if it was something REALLY good, like 3.8 or above. But to be honest, they don't really care. As long as you have your

  9. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    inland18mempire replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I experience the exact opposite. I come from a pretty highly educated family (MDs, DOs, attorneys, PhDs/professors, successful business owners) and they don't understand ,nor comprehend, why on earth...

  10. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for quite some time and all of my patients have been taken care of professionally at all times. These "I wouldn't want YOU to be my nurse" statements are immature in nature and...

  11. Need help taking blood pressure

    inland18mempire replied to liladybug526's topic in General Students

    it's a replacement when you can not hear the sounds, which is more often than not. the only time that i have had to use a manual cuff was when I was in nursing school during the 1st semester. Haven't...

  12. Need help taking blood pressure

    inland18mempire replied to liladybug526's topic in General Students

    These sounds are pointless (well, not pointless, but you don't need them to interpret the the BP when using the manual cuff). By the way, you'll almost never use a manual cuff in the hospital setting....

  13. rant:really in a bad spot!!Need Support!!HELP

    inland18mempire replied to jmilyn's topic in General Students

    Please don't take anything that the nurses you will be working with personally. As a nurse, you are usually very stressed and crunched for time. That means there isn't any time to help show around...

  14. Hijacking The Class

    inland18mempire replied to RNShenanigator's topic in General Students

    I don't think there is much you can do. This person is a paying student, and has a right to ask as many questions as he or she wants. I know what you mean, though. We had one just like that in my...

  15. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    Such dramatic scenarios to back up your points! Death, death, death. This guy did not die. He didn't even take the medication. Put on your critical thinking cap and stop spewing typical brain-washed...

  16. Nursing Grad still looking for a job

    inland18mempire replied to machita's topic in General Nursing

    Call up the hospitals you've applied to and BE AGGRESSIVE. Ask to speak to the nursing recruiter directly. Let him/her know who you are and why you're calling. After your done with that, call the...

  17. Students who move out of state to pursue nursing

    inland18mempire replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Hello everyone. I graduated from nursing school about 1 year ago. Honestly, I had NO idea how competitive it was until I saw this board. I live in SoCali. I applied to one school. I think I had to...

  18. Prescription From Student Health Center

    inland18mempire replied to shadowboxer's topic in General Students

    I had a friend that would get so nervous her hands would just shake to no end. She did some research online and found out that performers take Propranolol (which is a beta-blocker). She went to her...

  19. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    inland18mempire replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    hi lovehospital. totally off topic, just curious thought. where are you from? by that, i mean where were you born before you moved to the

  20. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps he was having a bad day and wasn't focused. we all have those kind of days. maybe he was new and didn't know the importance of counting narcotics. we were all new at some point. thankfully,...

  21. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    just as i said before, if it bothered the OP that much, then she should have done something then. not wait and report the guy. just remember, one of these days you will make a mistake, and i hope...

  22. Would you have done the same? Recieved wrong prescription.

    inland18mempire replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    why are you going out of your way to ruin this guy's career? He's human. He made a mistake. Mistakes happen. IMO, you're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. When you start working as a nurse...

  23. What's so bad about working for the VA?

    inland18mempire replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    None of the jobs I had required that I stay with them a certain length of time. My employment was left to my discretion, and theirs as well. This is why I am saying that it is very important to look...

  24. What's so bad about working for the VA?

    inland18mempire replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the VA, but just wanted to let you know that THREE YEARS is a very long time to be contracted in for a job. Think about it before you sign anything. THREE YEARS. That's...

  25. really scared of my pt tomorrow

    inland18mempire replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Worse case scenario is that you kill her by accident. it happens. Just kidding! You're scared now, but when you're a nurse you'll look back at this and wonder why you were so scared. You'll be a pro...
