  1. Chlorhexidine and dematitis (contact)

    twentytenRN replied to Jezzb's topic in General Nursing

    Hibiclens is chlorhexidine! I am allergic to this stuff as well. End up with ezcema on my hands. I have to avoid it. Some hospital handsoaps in the dispensers contain chlorhexidine now, I found it out...

    twentytenRN replied to bambam1288's topic in General Students

    I was a little girl and had the baby dolls that you could "feed" and they would "poop" and "pee" since they had a tube that ran from their mouth to their diaper and I watched entirely too much Rescue...

  3. Could impaired breastfeeding be a primary Nanda for a c-section patient?

    twentytenRN replied to NewBeee's topic in General Students

    Pain comes to mind to me as a primary problem for a fresh post-op c-section! And pain can impair the ability to breastfeed, mobility... etc. Usually when you have a problem that can snowball into...

  6. groupone sucks

    twentytenRN replied to persephone714's topic in Texas Nursing

    GroupOne has only infested the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Including a 100 mi radius outside of the metroplex. Other areas in Texas do not participate and you are hard pressed to find a DFW hospital that...

  7. A&P and Micro at the same time ?

    twentytenRN replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. Somthing going on with my son...

    twentytenRN replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe the OP was referring to the physician's physical height in this remark. "Short" is an adjective that may be used to describe someone's behavior. As in, they are not very talkative,...

  10. Cesarean Sections staffed by L&D nurses and techs

    twentytenRN replied to paularnc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congrats, you passed. There are over 7,000 testimonials on the thread for the PVT and how it is accurate. I had 75 questions and so did many I graduated with, they all passed. My condolences about...

  13. Samples of Nursing Grad Resume and aplication Letter

    twentytenRN replied to mjune's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are several threads here that discuss this. Just a note of why you probably haven't gotten any replies yet is because it is recommended that you search the boards for answers before posting a...

  14. Unemployed RN - Should I Work As A Pt. Care Tech?

    twentytenRN replied to Evergreen09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From what I know (and I'm no legal nurse expert here), most facilities won't hire someone holding an RN license for another clinical type position such as a CNA/PCT. It's a liability because you DO...

  15. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    twentytenRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I see many posts on this forum regarding Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) Texas being the "hot spot" for nurses. For experienced nurses, YES. New grads, NO! I've lived here nearly all my life and I am looking...

  16. What did the interviewer ask you?

    twentytenRN replied to rn865's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here are some sample questions: Tell me about yourself. (keep it short and relevant) Why did you leave your last job? When did you know you wanted to be a nurse? Why did you chose to specialize in...

  19. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    twentytenRN replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1st time, 1.5hrs, 75 questions = PASS! ATI predictor said I had a 99% chance on my first try. Didn't really study, just took my time to answer questions

  20. I don't wanna take the nclex

    twentytenRN replied to sweetmya's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree, don't try to "cram" for this exam, it really won't be of any benefit. Brush up on your weak areas, and the day before... relax. Good

  21. I just might projectile vomit while waiting for my NCLEX-RN results

    twentytenRN replied to nursgirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the reason that CA doesn't participate in the quick results is because they allow you to go ahead and take the NCLEX before they have all of your transcripts. I'm in TX and we had to have all...

    twentytenRN replied to xterpogz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    twentytenRN replied to rksgray13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I understand your anxiety, I just took my boards this month. They do make you nervous, it's an important exam! I wasn't a PN prior but I did do the Hurst review. I didn't really care for it,...
