  2. Falls (kinda long, sorry!)

    Goldenhare replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! Don't be so hard on yourself! It is sometimes hard to predict pt behavior. You could try making a 'safety' contract with her and tell her that you will check on her every ___minutes and that...

  3. Is 26 too old to go back to school?

    Goldenhare replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that you have a AA? You did say you have done bedside nursing. If I were you, I would do the Health Administration degree because if you are successful in opening an assisted living...

  6. G's and P's question-mom has had twins

    Goldenhare replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! Para is the number of pregnancies carried beyond 20 weeks. Gravida is how many times the woman has been pregnant. So I would say G2/P2. I took the definitions from Mosby's Dictionary. Now what...

  7. New Nurse feeling overwhelmed!

    Goldenhare replied to Diva Nurse Dani's topic in General Nursing

    Keep showing up! Find someone sympathetic to your plight, (might not be another nurse.) The nurses I work with are great, but my real support comes from a respiratory therapist who works on our floor,...

  8. Does this bother you?

    Goldenhare replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    The governor dosen't have a clue! I don't have alot of experience with this but it seems to me that MOST high school drop outs don't drop out because they are BORED, they drop out because they don't...

    Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, well you have all given me something to think about. The hospital I work in is rather small but opening a large wing in December. I'm told at that point there is still no plans for a on site pm...

    Goldenhare replied to CRNAhopefulguy's topic in General Students

  12. Take your time or pace yourself consistently?

    Goldenhare replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    YES! I totally understand! I have always been the last person in the testing romm my ENTIRE educational life! And I ALWAYS got grief for it. My med surg instructor tried to intimidate me by saying...

  13. Take your time or pace yourself consistently?

    Goldenhare replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just my opinion, but if you are slow on tests, then GO SLOW! Read each question and take time to think "Do I understand what the question is asking me??" Then answer. Me-almost 3 hours-75...

    Need some advice. I am down to my last week of orientation. I have switched to nights a week ago which is where I want to be. HOWEVER. I think I hate this job, I hate my preceptor (like her as a...

  16. Failed My Orientation-was it my age?

    Goldenhare replied to kathylorr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here is something to think about! I am 44. Last year when I graduated, I got a job in L&D. I LOVED it! I was there about 6 weeks when I was told that I was being transferred to a med surg floor...

  17. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

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

    I've been off orientation ( 3 month) and I still feel slow and incompetent. There are nights that it is ok but I still am not taking a full pt load and I am busy the whole night. I like the people I...

    Goldenhare replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of weeks ago, I had an order for discharge for a pt. It read that if is was ok with so and so doctor, then the pt could be d/c'd. WELL the first doctor had told the pt that he could go...

  21. MD orders, is this normal .......

    Goldenhare replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Nursing

    But why must the MD's put the nurse in the middle? Why can't the order be clarified ie a certain INR level or a protocol developed? Why can't the first physician phone the second and get a CLEAR order...

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

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

    :scrying: This is so true! If you review the chart, you then find out that you've missed the doctor rounds. If you make that phone call or talk to the family, then you miss the new orders. It never...

    Goldenhare replied to FutureNurse2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't worry! Take the Kaplan course, and take the class you are missing. DO NOT worry about not being about to take the NCLEX as soon as you would like. MY STORY WAS, I graduated early May 2005. I was...
