  1. Floor to ED transition

    Well, as someone who moved from floor to ED... the best advice I can give is just to fly by the seat of your pants. Don't expect routine, and don't get upset when things change. It was the best thing...
  2. Is floor nursing making you fat?

    YES!! We are all getting fat with the exception of the few outstanding fitness freaks we probably all work with. When I first started working as a nurse the stress really got to me, binge eating after...
  3. Well there is pretty much everything you can imagine. There is usually at least one med-surg floor, there is one for post-op patients, orthopedics, cardiac, renal, trauma, oncology. The bigger the...
  4. Good pair of shoes

    Dansko's all the way! I didn't discover them til my first nursing job but I highly recommend them, worth every cent. I suffered and suffered throughout nursing school, now I have no pain and can last...
  5. Most challenging moments in Nursing school

    To me one of the hardest things was having to say no to seeing my friends, I felt like I had NO LIFE. I graduated in May and I'm still playing catchup! At some times it was hard to see the light at...

  10. Hurst review

    I did the live review but I HIGHLY recommend it. The videos are pretty much just like the live thing, they have different speakers for every section. I watched almost all of them. They are very good,...
  11. Why would someone with a PEG-tube recieve Protonix

    I'm not exactly sure but I would say that because they have a peg-tube it could be more for prevention of any GERD side effects. They may not have had GERD before but with a peg-tube it could...
  12. BSN Students= Community Woes

    We also have a project that is forever long and a huge part of our grade, and class time? Don't get me started...the most boring lecture you could ever have. However I guess I lucked out because the...
  13. Thank you person, who doesn't study for any test until the morning of for bragging about it like you are so cool. Like your 72 was pretty good considering. I do not care. You will never be my nurse...
  14. Testing help please!! (reading vs.practice tests)

    I usually just skim over the chapters and I highly recommend using the website that comes along with your book. Usually it's evolve... but sometimes they have chapter reviews (and they are very good)...
