  1. Opinions on interview clothes

    HyperRNRachel replied to sandiLa's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Capri pants are not considered professional for an interview. I'm in Texas, I can sympathize with you concerning the heat. Congratulation on the weight loss and good luck with the interview....

  2. Husband and Wife nurses

    HyperRNRachel replied to sugabuga's topic in Nursing Career

    My husband and I are both nursing students, I graduate in December of 05 and he graduates in May of 06. I currently work as a "professional student nurse" in the ER of a local hospital. He wanted to...

  3. SO Happy Yet So Confused! HELP!

    HyperRNRachel replied to Anonymous2013's topic in General Nursing

    Signs and symptoms of pregnancy often mimic s/s of menstration as well. A pregnancy test, although 99.99% reliable, is not valid proof of pregnancy. Call your MD. In the mean time, if the spotting...

  4. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    HyperRNRachel replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    As Freud said "if it's not one thing it's your mother". Yes I arrived here today after a long ride on the crazy train but I gave up my dysfunctional family and choose to not buy into any of the...

  6. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    HyperRNRachel replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, everyone missed my point. I am not upset, nor am I criticizing the OP for venting, I am upset that he is pointing out another nurses inability to address the pain when, in fact, he (although some...

    HyperRNRachel replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    As a matter of fact, yes I am. And believe me I am the very last person you would want to go head to head with. You see, I eat complacent nurses for lunch! Now you have triggered my

  8. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    HyperRNRachel replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    OK, let me put it in simple terms. Address the pain, it does not matter if it is not your patient, if you are in the ICU or the lobby, if you have 20 years experience, or anything else. If you are so...

  9. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    HyperRNRachel replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Comments such as these lead me to believe you are being "catty", they are personal opinions and distract from the real issue. If your concern was the pain that was not addressed then why bring up...

  10. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    HyperRNRachel replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    This is a perfect example of why nurses appear "catty" and/or have the reputation for "eating their young". Bottom line, what is the real issue (pain) and was it addressed? To be disgusted because of...

  11. Speaking of IVs... Need help (long story longer)

    HyperRNRachel replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Another FYI: One of the most common reasons for the complaint of "I got a flash, but the catheter won't thread" is failure to advance the entire unit another 1/8" into the vein before threading the...

    HyperRNRachel replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    Fear of testing? Buy a NCLEX review book, most of them have instructions on how to look at nursing questions. Also many of the books have online sites with practice questions that help you get...

  14. new students - what do you fear most?

    HyperRNRachel replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    Sounds like who ever gave you the shot did not check your body's landmarks! That is why it is best to not get complacent when doing procedures, that is when mistakes happen! Do not ever be...

    HyperRNRachel replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Roland, stress is a part of life, how you, your wife, or your friends chooses to deal with that stress is within your control. Instant gradification is for infants not adults. Anyone taking the NCLEX...
