i don’t think anyone on this thread is “trying to start a fire” either. neither, have i implied that nurses who pre-pour are bad nurses. in fact, most of these nurses are great nurses, except that i simply disagree with their choice of pre-pour pract...
really? what other nurses? well, i think it all depends on where you work and how you relate to other nurses and cna’s. it also depends on how the don of the facility runs the place. if you work on a floor with say 60 or more residents, the floor is ...
you opened a thread with a title "pre-pulling medications," and at the same time you have declared you are not, for or against. sadly, as i read through each of your posts you tend to be "for" such practices. this is the practice i consider "lazy." i...
"words" as they say are open to many interpretations. i read the post over, and over again, quite honestly, i don't get any sense that the statement was speaking generally to "night shift nurses." if you read the last sentence, you could deduct from ...
Hi Sacstate! Just noticed your icons for both PM & Email. You can activate either icons by placing your mouse and clicking to select. The icons look like these: "Registered User ." You should find it in any of the threads that has your user name...

Not filling up the med cart! Not answering call lights!! Some nurses think call lights are for their CNA's only to answer--no, sorry nurses, we all provide care, its a team effort. Some CNA's deliberately ignore call lights too, but as nurses we shou...
sorry, i don't mean to bash, but i simply don't agree with your statement concerning "a nurse that doesn't pre-pull medications, i could see that nurse make a med error much easier than someone that does." sadly, i find some nurses pre-pouring and th...
Hi sacstate, seems like we had the same test. I will have to retake it again. Had an 86.2% on the real thing. I thought the book helped quite a bit for the maths and eng. The science is a different story--it's all over the place. Though, the online...

isu passing scores for the teas seems fair. never taken the teas test before. having "earth science" on the test makes me wonder what earth science has to do with nursing:banghead: good luck with n106. you should do well. the test was easy... just b...

Kylea, Congrats on passing TEAS! I just ordered the Teas manual. Did you use that to prepare? If so, did you find it comparable to the real test. How did you find the maths and science? What's the required score for ISU? I just passed NUR330. Its a ...
