  1. Too Old to go back for LPN - BSN bridge??

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to lilaclover6984's topic in LPN to RN

    I guess that depends on how many kids you're wanting! If you're going for some outrageous number like 18, you may want to reconsider. If you're wanting one or two or three or something like that, I...

  2. EKG tips for Dummies

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to FSK123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm almost positive that there is a Nursing Made Incredibly Easy! book on EKGs, all their other books have helped me tremendously so I have great faith that their EKG book is probably phenomenal as...

  3. Quick Question

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    It is one of your first interventions, but it is not your priority - hydration is the first and foremost thing you should initiate. According to NCLEX. :) We all know the real world is a completely...

  4. Quick Question

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    In the real world, you would probably do oxygenation first because it takes the least amount of time. Oxygenation is necessary because the shape of the cells alters their ability to carry oxygen....

  5. I dislike med/surg, do i have to do it?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to SSWRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I HATED med-surg in nursing school... Mostly because we were used as extra CNAs and didn't really even get to see that much. I perceived it as a dirty, smelly floor with mostly older people (I'm not a...

  6. Need help with my judgmentalism

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to allthesmallthings's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Separating yourself from being judgmental is difficult, sometimes very difficult, but it can be done - you just have to remember what the very essence of your decision to be a nurse was. You can help...

  7. Help! Stuck between a rock and a hard place!

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to BKCinNOLA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Remember, everyone perceives and translates experiences differently. Perhaps they had the wrong attitude going in and everyone picked up on that and that's what ignited conflict from the get-go.....

  8. My "Aww crap" moment of the week: Calling a Dr.

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to JustEnuff2BDangerous's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks everyone for your encouraging words and suggestions!

  9. My "Aww crap" moment of the week: Calling a Dr.

    JustEnuff2BDangerous posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm receiving 10-12 weeks orientation on my med-surg floor. Every 4 weeks I rotate preceptors. Tomorrow I begin working with my second preceptor, and I am scared to death. I have heard that this...

  10. kaplan tree?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to DoNotLoseHope's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not feel I wasted my money on the class, because paying money for it gave me the online quizzes and practice tests and I took every last single question possible in those. I literally had NO...

  11. So how hard is it for new grads to get a job?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

    The ease at which you will be able to get a job depends on very many variables, such as where you live, what hospital you are seeking, and what specialty you are seeking. Geographically things may be...

  12. Central Line Preventative Maintenance?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently I had a patient who had been in the hospital a few days for lung-related issues, and was preparing to go home; and when I say preparing, I mean was dressed, packed, and sitting in the...

  13. Do all new nurses get night shift?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to sunny1230's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad, and I currently have a day shift job, 7a-7p. It is on a med/surg floor, and while med/surg is definitely not my first love, I took the job because 1) I precepted there, and after 12...

  14. I have an elbow injury... what field of nursing should I look into?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to racegrrl714's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where CPR would be a likely problem; if so, you may want to stick to peds or NICU, where the CPR is more often than not limited to requiring the use of only one arm rather than two (except...

  15. Nursing and Back Problems

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to carolinadiva's topic in General Nursing

    If you are afraid of the strain on your back from standing or walking for most of the day, they make special orthopedic shoes just for that, look them up online or ask your chiropractor for advice.

  16. ACLS question and help.

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    During nursing school our instructors told us to never be afraid nor too proud to pull out the little ACLS ring-binder booklet of algorithms during a code and check for things you might have missed....

  17. Prior Medical Experience When Looking For That First Nursing Job

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to techraider77's topic in General Nursing

    I took the same route you are taking now; I worked at a bank during my entire college career, including nursing school. I did not do a "nurse tech"/nurse intern/extern program because I needed the...

  18. How much math do you do in your daily life?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

    I, for one, suck horribly, HORRIBLY in math. I'm talking I got a D in Geometry in high school horrible. I can't even hardly do basic algebra anymore, I can't add or subtract more than single digits in...

  19. need help with interview question

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on the situation, and what it is that conflicts... You do what is best for the patient, or you do what the patient wants (within reason, obviously), as long as that is within your...

  20. your very first patient death.....

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to ndynrs's topic in General Nursing

    I have not experienced the death of my own pt yet, we did have a pt on our unit that died while he was in dialysis (he was a DNR, still to this day don't know what went wrong because he was fine when...

  21. New to nursing

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to SkyeBaby's topic in General Nursing

    We have a ADN program where I live, and they have you do your "pre-reqs" while taking nursing classes. The "pre-reqs" and the nursing classes are not split into two different semesters/years. Not sure...

  22. Questions about working in the ED

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to Kurious RN's topic in Emergency

    I would never recommend choosing any area of nursing, especially a specialty, solely for the pay difference. If you think Med-Surg has a lot going on at once, have you ever seen the chaos that ensues...

  23. Nursing culture

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, mean nurses usually = burnt out nurses, if they are habitually mean. We're human, and sometimes your one and only exposure to a certain nurse just so happens to be on the day where...

  24. decisions, decisions about nursing and education....any advice??

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Finish your BSN, especially since you are SOCLOSE. I realize my next piece of advice will probably get me laughed at, but if you're in a bind and need some income, consider a non-nursing,...

  25. Advice for SN-Level I Trauma Center Internship

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to cokeforbreakfast's topic in Emergency

    Congratulations! I only recommend going in with eyes and mind wide open and be ready to absorb anything you can, as fast as you can (since it is trauma! ). If they offer you something to do (start an...
