  1. oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

    orrnlori replied to Auri's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took the test in 1998 and mine shut down at 75. I was totally unsure how I did, felt very unsure, had lots of questions in my weakest areas, but I passed. I would bet you did as

  2. please help

    orrnlori replied to amanda44's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Perhaps you are overstudying and reading too much into the questions. Have you thought about taking a Kaplan seminar? If you were one of the top in your class then I would bet you are over-reaching...

  3. Okay, I'm not a nursing instructor yet but...

    orrnlori replied to orrnlori's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, I was in their shoes. And the one and only day I spent in the OR during nursing school I remember as being full of questions, looking at the patient charts, looking at the nursing documents,...

  4. New job! No more hospital for me!

    orrnlori replied to CherryRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I looked at Legal Nursing Consulting long and hard but figured I needed to finish my education first. Still looking at it strongly though. I will definately say that I miss the desk...

  5. I thought I'd share it with you...

    orrnlori replied to mandykal's topic in General Nursing

    orrnlori replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to attend but I'm afraid by 10pm I'll be a snoozin. Hope everyone has a great

  7. Why get an MSN?

    orrnlori replied to Mr_D's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going for my MSN as Nurse Educator. I was 39 when I started in school and 42 when I graduated with the AAS in nursing. I have worked for the last 6 years and the old body is starting to tell on...

  8. advice for other student nurses

    orrnlori replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    I would add that study groups are invaluable to learning. You'd be surprised how much you learn from others teaching from their notes. More than a few times I thought I had a concept down until...

  9. Who ARE the LEADERS in Nursing???

    orrnlori replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    The administrator of our division in the hospital started out as a nurse, then obtained a JD and MBA. He attends some meetings and speaks to us from times to time, when we voice complaints-concerns,...

  10. Ok all you smarties, need some advice!

    orrnlori replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    Basic assessment and nursing language - it's a world all to it's own. I agree not to get into it too much. Look over nursing diagnosis, you'll have it throughout your schooling and will be writing...

  11. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    orrnlori replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Whooops! Sorry, I got this post and another post on flirting students confused - disregard

  12. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    orrnlori replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Well, all I have to say is that if they ladies are pre-nursing students, once they get into their nursing classes (if they make it) they will definately not be able to flirt their way into the hearts...

  13. I'd like insights from RNs who started as ADNs and later obtained a BSN.

    orrnlori replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I looked very long and hard at obtaining my BSN from both local colleges and universities as well as distance learning. I had 83 hours at the end of my AAS (well into my junior level of college), 40...

  14. Can you believe this?

    orrnlori replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I can believe

  15. What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 hospitals?

    orrnlori replied to MJ-12's topic in Nursing Career

    Okay, yeah, I remember something about that from nursing school, oh well, got trauma on the brain I guess, since that's all I see. Never

  16. Nurses 150-180% .... others maybe 80%

    orrnlori replied to RNPATL's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this description is solely of nurses. I had a whole other life before I became a nurse that was just as hectic and it was in business, lots of pressures, time deadlines, productivity...

  17. What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 hospitals?

    orrnlori replied to MJ-12's topic in Nursing Career

    You know I don't know the actual specific definitions of either II or III but I work at a level I. We have all services and surgical specialties available 24 hours a day and there's specific...

  18. OR nurse right off the bat?

    orrnlori replied to RNBN2B's topic in Operating Room

    Go for it. I went into the OR after 7 months in trauma. If I would have, I would have gone right in after graduation. I was 42 when I

  19. I need a nursing debate topic, any suggestions?

    orrnlori replied to patches's topic in General Nursing

    HIV caregivers, should the patient be advised when their physician/nurse is HIV

  20. Where is the Unity in Nursing

    orrnlori replied to duckboy20's topic in General Nursing

    I find this board to be extremely tame in comparison to others I frequent. About 90% of what's posted here is helpful and supportive, that's why I like it so much. I think that something that leads...

  21. Took the NCLEX-RN today, but don't feel so good about it...

    orrnlori replied to OjLeno's topic in General Nursing

    I had no math, lots of delegating, ABG's, psych, and mother/baby. You are probably

  22. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    orrnlori replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I guess that is really my point, how will they handle the stress of real life and death situations? How will they handle the occasional abusive doctor, or the occasional nasty nurse supervisor or...

  23. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    orrnlori replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I never saw anyone curse a teacher but I saw a TON of crying after nursing tests. This was usually related to a select group of highly driven A students who mostly had the teachers in their back...

  24. Need some help weird problem!!

    orrnlori replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Creeping bruises, I've seen them before. It's particularly evident in facial surgery. Black eyes become black and blue cheeks which become blue and green jaws and finally a nice sort of yellow all...

  25. New Nurse Salary

    orrnlori replied to murnahan5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, gee, okay then. All I was trying to point out was that different cost of living centers will yeild different starting salaries for people. I guess my point was that if some 20 year old new...
