  2. Got an A on my first official RN exam!!!!

    JomoNurse replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!! Keep up the good work. Don't let it get to your head, though. I've seen A students flunk out because they develop that "ehh, i got an an A on the last exam, I'm smart so I don't...

  3. malpractice/liability insurance for NICU RN's

    JomoNurse replied to nicu4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think it's pointless and a waste of money. I've also been told that it's pointless and a waste of money for an RN to carry malpractice insurance (unless you are an advanced practice RN). Like...

  4. So embarrassed today and nervous (re vital signs)

    JomoNurse replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    You can worry about perfecting your skill later on. The issue at hand right now is to pass your check-off. Use the nanometer - it almost never fails. And truthfully, you probably won't touch a...

  5. Dry, Chapped, Cracked, Burning Hands

    JomoNurse replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    have you tried using the alcohol hand sanitizers in lieu of washing your hands? it's just as effective as long as you wash your hands every 10th time you use it. some women at work do this because...

    JomoNurse replied to kris911's topic in General Students

    no one here is going to do your care plan for you! you didn't bother to mention what you've already

  9. So embarrassed today and nervous (re vital signs)

    JomoNurse replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    i have no idea why you are having a hard time counting the RR and HR. That's as basic as it's going to get. For the BP, it will help you to look at the nanometer and watch it click - that's a trick...

  10. Nursing school anxiety

    JomoNurse replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    it's normal to get nervous but if you're throwing up then you should really see your doctor and see what treatment options would be right for you. sounds like your anxiety is pretty

  11. RN stealing from my facility

    JomoNurse replied to levelee's topic in General Nursing

    well now that's odd. i don't know of anyone that would steal a blood pressure cuff

  12. Moving on to Dogs...No RN 2 b

    JomoNurse replied to NovaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    are you sure you're going to be able to support yourself doing that? it's one thing to do what you want to do, but a lot of people go into jobs because they provide a comfortable lifestyle. i...

  14. Floating

    JomoNurse replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    they usually only float you to a similiar type unit. and even if they don't, you'll find that every unit is pretty much ran the same way. there may be slightly different charting to do, and things...

  15. Shaky Hands

    JomoNurse replied to momofdna's topic in General Nursing

    This is NOT medical advice. Instead I will tell you what has worked for me. I've had shaky hands for as long as I can remember. Even when I'm at complete solitude they are somewhat shaky. They only...

  16. National University Accelerated BSN

    JomoNurse replied to yqin's topic in California Nursing

    You shouldn't do private school because you're going into a job that doesn't pay that much back. Unless you have rich parents and/or a lot of scholarships, you're going to spend the majority of the...

  17. Is it better to be into nursing or x ray technician?

    JomoNurse replied to jessLPN12's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda have to agree with the above poster that said nursing is a job and not a career. As nurses, we walk around like trained robots with very little independence. Also, there is very little salary...

  18. Nervous about retaking pharm

    JomoNurse replied to Geminichilde's topic in General Students

    My advice would be to cut the time you spend online and study more. Moreover, your nervousness should be channeled in such a way to make you study more. This is your last chance. Don't blow it. Take...

  19. National University Accelerated BSN

    JomoNurse replied to yqin's topic in California Nursing

    I've never heard of this school before. Are you certain that it's legit? I'd stick to a state school. Much cheapter that way. Other schools pray on desperate students willing to go into debt for 30...

  20. Whats the first step when weighing a patient?

    JomoNurse replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in General Students

    Please don't spend your time stressing over questions like these. It most certainly wont be talked about again in nursing school, and it sure as hell wont show up on the

  21. Nursing students!What has been the hardest part of NURSING school?!

    JomoNurse replied to anon321d's topic in General Students

    It takes a lot of your time away. And when you finally set time aside to go do something else (like hanging out with friends, watching a movie, etc) you feel guilty because you aren't

  22. What's your method of madness? Study tricks???

    JomoNurse replied to mmccool719's topic in General Students

  23. Is Texting legal

    JomoNurse replied to shbryer's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it's legal or not. Although I will say that I'm not sure why he would prefer to text his orders rather than just call them. Texting takes a lot longer rather than just picking up the...

  24. Transition to ICU

    JomoNurse replied to rumpsticker's topic in General Nursing

    Having only 1 or 2 patients is an absolute dream. Sure they are sicker, but you have the tools available to you to get the job done. It's also nice that you're right in front of the patient's room so...

  25. CPR on a person who is in rigor mortis?

    JomoNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being serious or is this a joke? God could be running the code, but if a person is in rigor mortis, they aren't coming back! Performing CPR on a person with rigor mortis is p o i n t l e s s....
