    gator_bait13 replied to H2H_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow thats really different from NM. Mine was issued 2/3/09 and expires 2/28/11. My birthday has no correlation to that! Wierd. Bummer. At least you get it out of the way and will be good for an...

    gator_bait13 replied to Stephys's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I HEAR YA BUDDY! I am 21 as well, however I was 18 when i got my LPN and I have been taking crap since then (both other staff and patients). Hopefully your manager backed you up because that is...

  3. Being a New Grad stinks

    gator_bait13 replied to AniRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just another piece from personal experience, I know the economy is terrible and jobs are hard to find, however getting a job doing something that you really don't want to do can lead to early burn...

    gator_bait13 replied to la mama 310's topic in General Nursing

    Right... The point being that there is no one way to tell there are way to many factors for every women. I have NEVER even been asked that. I don't know that there is a exact stat. It depends if oral...

  6. Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

    gator_bait13 replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a former nursing home nurse...NO WAY in a million years. Despite the number of wonderful nurses that may work in LTC (in my experience most of the nurses in LTC aren't so wonderful) they cannot...

  7. 1st time RN licensed , but the license expires toooo SOON - another post

    gator_bait13 replied to H2H_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. Being a New Grad stinks

    gator_bait13 replied to AniRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I recently graduated and passed my NCLEX as well. Here in NM we are so short of nurses that it is super easy to find a job. I just started fresh out of school on an L and D unit with 3 months of...

    I had some what of the same problem when I first started IV's. I found that although I didn't feel very nervouse I was. As I got more and more IV's the shakes went a way. I am hypoglycemic so I also...

  10. New RNs delegating to LPN's.

    gator_bait13 replied to Stephys's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a former LPN and a new RN I have some insight on this. As a brand new LPN I found that the techs and aids had a really hard time taking delgation from me, and always had an issue..for example " My...

    gator_bait13 replied to futureRNJaz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX RN today. I got 75 questions, a ton of select all that apply, a ton of priority Q's and a few drugs. I was hoping for more drugs, I know those....I feel like I failed miserably because...
