    lincoln77 replied to nursej22's topic in COVID

    Turns out that the story about ERs being overrun with ivermectin overdoses was a fabrication: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bogus-oklahoma-ivermectin-story-was-just-too-good-check/

    lincoln77 replied to nursej22's topic in COVID

    Merck's word is not worth much. A for-profit corporation with a conflict of interest, a 1.2 billion dollar contract for a new anti-viral therapy. (Ivermectin is out of patent, would make little money) They also have a shady history with Vioxx. ...

    So I work in a prison, was giving meds in the infirmary. One inmate was on IV cefepime. The order simply says, give 1 gram every 12 hours. Fluid type or volume was not included, and it did not say the time it should be given in. I asked for clarif...

    I would like to be an addiction nurse

    lincoln77 replied to katiec's topic in Addictions

    Whispera made me laugh, and gotta agree. I work in a psych hospital, mostly on the addiction floor, which is considered "dual diagnosis", meaning they have an addiction and a mental disorder. Rarely do people get that worked up/aggressive here, but ...

    If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    lincoln77 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors

    I emailed University of Florida admissions, nursing admissions for MSN, and they said they would accept a BSN from Western Governors.

    Soon to be BSN graduate...and frustrated

    lincoln77 replied to Paige2014's topic in Psychiatric

    I also have a degree in psychology because it was my interest. I really doubted my wanting to be a nurse all through nursing school, and then I had my psych rotation and loved it, and everyone else couldn't wait until it was over. I got hired a mon...

    lincoln77 replied to Nikki0727's topic in NCLEX

    I didn't do so well with my classes; had to repeat a semester. I took nclex and did the maximum questions possible. I really thought I failed. But I passed! Everyone else I talked to thought they failed too but they passed.

    test in 6 days, metal detectors in the test center?

    lincoln77 replied to brittyma's topic in NCLEX

    I just took NClex and there was no metal detector. Although they say the prohibit carrying a firearm...I guess in case you get upset and flip out, right? They did scan my palm every time I left to go to the bathroom.

    lincoln77 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    In my program, in clinical, especially in the early clinicals we are expected to do all patient care and not to take help from the CNA/PCAs, which includes cleaning patients who are incontinent. And as far as I understand, an RN in the workplace nee...
