  1. Tips on landmarking IM injections

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to frankmitch's topic in General Nursing

    I had a hard time visualizing this as well, so I searched Google and found a picture! Hope this helps:

  2. Being a preceptor blows

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to RoyalNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Having a year's experience doesn't mean squat if you never actually got the "experience" to begin with. It is entirely likely that she got shafted by the first person who inherited her as a preceptee...

  3. Career change advice

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to anthony02's topic in General Nursing

    One of the only reasons you would need a BSN over an ADN is if you were planning to go back to school eventually and get your MSN (Master's Degree in Nursing), or if you are planning to be in nursing...

  4. Associates Degree?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to hannahmarie's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean an ADN, which would make you an RN with an associate's degree? If so, yes, as long as you're an RN, there's always going to be a hospital out there that will take

  5. Help with Hospice vs Mental Health But Want ICU/CCU!

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to Nay-Nay's topic in General Nursing

    Neither one of them are ideal stepping stones for ICU/CCU work, and both of the choices can be very taxing emotionally. As with any field of nursing, hospice and mental health both take a "special"...

  6. CNA going behind my back

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously any situation that deals with potential confrontation and conflict is sensitive... Whether you choose to confront her yourself or go to your manager, make sure you do it in private, away...

  7. "malpractice" insurance for nurses?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to maxcat's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine that other nurses told you not to get it because they feel that if a patient knows you have malpractice insurance, they will be more likely to sue you. Whether or not this is true...

  8. Nursing school or OT, and mom of young kids: doable?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to beausmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a mother but I would like to say that I had many classmates who were, and they did great in nursing school - Some were even "single parents" because their husbands or wives were deployed...

  9. Sure signs your pt. is sick

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to danger's topic in Emergency

    There are very few "sure" signs that a pt is sick because the outward expression of illness varies greatly from person to person and its manifestation can be changed by anything from the pt's pain...

  10. Support for life support?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    Laws regarding life support: From what I've heard, if no advance directive has been established, immediate family (spouse or parents, if the individual is unmarried) are the ones who make the...

  11. Workin part time while going to nursing school???

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to VentcSN's topic in General Nursing

    Its certainly doable, and you will likely be very tired doing it, but you gotta do what you gotta do! I worked anywhere from 20 to 35 hours a week during nursing school at a completely unrelated job...

  12. I'm confused,pls.help me!

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to massel's topic in International Nursing

    Absolutely check with Immigration and/or your Board of Nursing before you sign or pay ANYTHING. They are the ultimate experts, not this lady you've spoken to. Also, don't be too quick to rely just on...

  13. what am I supposed to think? You tell me...

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to female12233's topic in General Nursing

    This is NOT true. NOBODY gets all 265 questions "just because". The computer ends the test when it determines with certainty that you have passed or failed. If you get all 265, that's because the...

  14. what am I supposed to think? You tell me...

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to female12233's topic in General Nursing

    Deep down, I think everyone who gets 75 questions can make a good guess as to how they did on the NCLEX, even if you don't want to falsely reassure or devastate yourself. I only got 75 questions but...

  15. Tough job decisions!

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to SCgirl22's topic in General Nursing

    If you're feeling burned out in your current area, I definitely do not recommend staying there, because the longer you stay there the more likely you are to burnout of nursing completely. I also do...

  16. Girlfriend becoming a nurse - Advice

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to Legion6789's topic in General Nursing

    My husband works at a bank as well, but that doesn't stop me from coming home and telling him stories about my day.. He may give me a few blank/confused looks, but he listens and supports me, and...

  17. What is the difference between a nursing diagnosis and a medical diagnosis?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to BoyRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    A medical diagnosis focuses on the illness. A nursing diagnosis focuses on the person and their physiological and/or psychological response to the illness. Doctors formulate medical diagnoses to treat...

  18. Career Path Advice: ICU or ER to flight nursing

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to hopefullICUnurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming you are just starting out on your path to becoming a flight nurse (and let me add a disclaimer here: I am not a flight nurse!), I would suggest this: You should NOT start working "somewhere"...

  19. PLEASE I need help with gift basket ideas for nursing unit???

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to GGT1's topic in General Nursing

    At the end of my preceptorship I bought a basket from GiftBaskets.com for the unit nurses.. It was a tower of boxed Mrs. Fields cookies they could all share. :) If you are into making something, you...

  20. Can someone please explain KAPLAN to me?

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

    Kaplan came to our school and did their presentation during lunch and we could sign up for a class at that time. You can either choose a "live" class (you go to a classroom with a live teacher) or you...

  21. another precaution question

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to scared2death's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    TB is definitely airborne - you need a negative pressure room, door shut at all times, and a respirator mask. Influenza and pertussis are both droplet. Process of elimination, I'd go with RSV -...

  22. Pharm Crisis!!

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

    I tried to memorize the immunization schedules several times and just couldn't get it to stick, so I didn't burn precious brain cells, patience, and time trying to.. I was fortunate enough to not have...

  23. NCLEX TEST TAKERS: Just a quick question.

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

    I was alone in the room but not alone in the house. If I had failed, I would have rather been a sobbing mess by myself first before telling everyone

  24. ATI predictor... accurate?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to pinky11889's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got a 99% on the predictor and I got 75 questions and passed. HOWEVER, I cannot stress to you enough that all the predictor tests in the world will not help you pass... It is up to you to put the...

  25. Are you Weak in Pharma but Passed?

    JustEnuff2BDangerous replied to hoping2bRNsobadly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pharm is one of my weak points, no doubt. I got a B in it in nursing school but honestly could not tell you much because it was such a whirlwind and I don't remember it.. To be perfectly honest I...
