    Homeopathic Disaster NCLEX style

    BabyRN2Be replied to anissa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know how true this is, but I've heard that the questions on herbs are part of the pilot questions that don't count against you. Hopefully you got only 15 of those. :) I'm sure you did well on...

    Question about a question on nclex

    BabyRN2Be replied to merei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, from my knowledge of religions, I believe that you answered correctly. I know that I'm not in nursing school yet, but I've been doing NCLEX practice questions - yes, I know that's putting the...

    My best friend's nightmare

    BabyRN2Be replied to Antikigirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This story, too, is really a shame. When some doctors see "insurance", they run every test imaginable. If the same pt presented at the doctor's office w/o insurance, very few tests will be run. I know...

    What do patients say that irks you?

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BETSRN, consider your area VERY lucky. I've love to work in a LDRP situation, but none of the hospitals around here have it. I'm talking about a medium large city in the midwest, containing roughly 1...

    Expecting RN- Would like suggestions

    BabyRN2Be replied to expectant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to mention that "laboring down" has nothing to do with meds being slowed down. It refers to letting the mom push when she has an urge to push. Usually the baby has made it's way down on...

    Soa????????????????

    BabyRN2Be replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    That's a between abreviation than SOB. I know that there was an old joke in a Reader's Digest a long time ago about a pt who looked at his chart and demanded to know why the doctor thought that he was...

    Patients who steal from the ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to mdslabod's topic in Emergency

    Samantha, if I don't have to fly somewhere on vacation, I bring my own pillows from home, too! If If I ever have to be admitted to a hospital I'll have my hubby bring my pillow from home... working in...

    Expecting RN- Would like suggestions

    BabyRN2Be replied to expectant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can help with one of your questions for right now. I've been a labor doula for the last 8 years. I don't know if you know what a doula is, but we help with coping techniques for delivery and offer...

    Can someone tell what these drugs do?

    BabyRN2Be replied to milenko's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sometime before everyone dies. :) Back to topic. I know that people have helped you out, but it might help you out to have the proper spelling of the drugs. Looks like someone has helped you out with...

    There was a full moon last night. Can you usually tell when you're at work?

    BabyRN2Be replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that too and have come to the conclusion that those studies aren't done in medical settings, i.e. ED, psych units, and L&D. The nurses at our hospital definintely see a correlation...

    My patient fired me!

    BabyRN2Be replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think you did anything wrong. Some pts don't understand that they aren't the only one in the hospital and that their top priorities are not YOUR type priorities. You are a busy nurse...

    Recovering RN seeking to re-enter practice

    BabyRN2Be replied to JMWalker's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I could not agree with this more. This sounds like an excellent field for you to go in to. When I first started reading your post, read about diversion and a felony restriction, my first thought was,...

    Tylenol toxicity? How serious?? Please read!

    BabyRN2Be replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Emergency

    seaofsapphires, I second the idea of going in and getting it checked out. I'm so happy for you that you've got your life together! You've worked through a lot and it looks like you have a lot to show...

    Be Careful What You Say...

    BabyRN2Be replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with this more... sometimes it's the best policy to keep your mouth shut. I've learned this many times. Sorry that this happened to you, and I do hope that you get a job that's a...

    What did YOU pay for your Nursing Books for school??

    BabyRN2Be replied to sherry730's topic in General Nursing

    My wonderful mom (a retired RN) has started giving me her med/surg books. Unfortunately, they're probably hopelessly out of date but I think that they are a good starting point in my reading anyway....

    Night shifts: how do you prepare yourself?

    BabyRN2Be replied to amber1188's topic in General Nursing

    Amber, Is this a temporary situation or are you always going to be working 60 hours a week? Like others have said, this is too extreme. Is it possible to get 3 12 hr shifts a week? Don't know if I...

    What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    BabyRN2Be replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that I could ever do burn care. I hate the idea of debridement, hurting a patient who's already in so much pain. And the children as burn patients. Our hospital has one of the best burn...

    criminal record in nursing school???

    BabyRN2Be replied to orangepez01's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely call your BON and not your school. It would really be a shame if you went to school and found out afterwards that your criminal history will not allow you to get a job. That being said, I...

    Baby Powder at your hospital...

    BabyRN2Be replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    In the unit where I work, we don't use baby powder for diaper changes. It's not even stocked in the well-baby nursery. It might be in the "admission kit" - a little tub of niceities that the mom gets...

    Failed Nclex First Time---Still Want to go to CRNA School

    BabyRN2Be replied to crnahopeful32's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm sorry that you didn't pass the NCLEX your first time. It seems like you've learned from your mistakes, and that you'll learn from them. You already know what the material is like, so you have that...

    Pregnant Inmates

    BabyRN2Be replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Correctional

    BackOff, I definitely agree with you that this is a very sad case. And I do want people to understand that I'm absolutely not placing fault with the correctional facility - we just don't have any...

    OHHH The Arrogance of Some Doctors!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to Katydidit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with everyone here. That's the height of arrogance and rudeness to answer a phone at a woman's most vulnerable time. What if the position was switched? You were the doc and you took a call...

    New graduate nurse fired for not having experience after 30 days .....

    BabyRN2Be replied to spiri1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really hate to add this, but wow, a brand new RN hired as charge? Maybe there is something that you don't know. It is possible that she wasn't entirely honest filing out a resume and it looked like...

    BabyRN2Be replied to harle53's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations, Harle! I've lived in San Diego and remember Balboa Hospital. Brings back memories of Balboa Park... :) Congrats once again and enjoy San

    Pregnant Inmates

    BabyRN2Be replied to crjnursewarrior's topic in Correctional

    Yeah, it went out on the AP wires apparently. The story is identical because all the stations are just copying the AP story. I'd like to know what happened, but apparently there aren't many details on...
