    tokebi replied to Amy2020's topic in California Nursing

    Probably two. I recently emailed her to ask if I needed to send the completed transcript with my degree on it, since I was still doing my undergrad when I applied. She wrote me back saying I need to...

    tokebi posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am an IV certified LVN and I often flush the line when IV anibiotics are done. The other day, I was asked to flush a resident's PICC. I disconnected the tubing and proceeded to flush. To my dismay,...

    tokebi replied to tokebi's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, thanks for the input. I'm a fairly new member here, and I'm realizing how much helpful it can be to share here. What I want to make clear is that when the situation first began -- when a CNA...

  6. Code blue at my LTC and AHA guideline

    tokebi posted a topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but mulling over what happened to one of the ladies at my LTC earlier today. Simply, she suddenly went into a respiratory distress, and when I went to her room with pulse ox after I had...

  10. Top 15 Reasons NOT to go into Nursing

    tokebi replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    Don't... if you're a very sensitive and empathetic person. I had a friend who was so distraught and cried uncontrollably after NICU rotation. Sure, you can choose to work at a less stressful place...

    tokebi replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha, flutterbye, I think I was quite over-zealous when I first posted! Perhaps I was channeling my own frustrations from years ago when I first embarked on chemistry? If your problem is with those...

  13. Kind of an odd question, guilt at work..I hope Im not alone.

    tokebi replied to NurseDevonL's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have I felt anything similar? Yes. When I was struggling with major depression years ago. I'm glad you have an appointment. You've already taken the big step -- recognizing that you have a problem and...

  14. Are they trying to get rid of me? Will I make it as nurse?

    tokebi replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an inexperienced nurse and I am very surprised by all this talk of nurses eating their young, backstabbing and cruelty. Maybe I am just extremely lucky with the places I've worked because I...

  15. Atomic Theory....really??

    tokebi replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely, it's a big subject! As for its "history," it is my observation that understanding the concept of atomic theory is often difficult because students do not see the theory in the context of...

    Thank you, can't wait to meet you guys. Musicgal, I was number one -- I couldn't believe my eyes and seriously thought the letter was typo. I know the first one on the list getting in doesn't show you...

  18. Help me save my poor hands

    tokebi replied to wmg246's topic in General Nursing

    For years I've been using Neutrogena hand cream Norwegian formula. Using the cream right after each hand washing seems to keep my hands pretty comfortable. It's so thick that you only need a little...

    Hi Sandman, I will see you there. I was on the wait-list, not one of those 60. I was recently notified that I was accepted and UCLA being the only school I applied, of course I humbly accept the...

    tokebi replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of good websites but I could give it a shot at a summary on the topic, because I do remember the introductory chem texts really suck at this, leaving many students feeling like, "Wha...?...

  21. why making mistakes make me think I am stupid !

    tokebi replied to jollygirl098's topic in California Nursing

    Those "mistakes" you mentioned seem like things that will become your second nature in no time as you continue working. I'm an LVN by the way, and when I first started, one of the frequent "stupid"...

    tokebi replied to MsChrissie's topic in California Nursing

    You're welcome, NP to be. Watch out, though. It seems you still have to show up for the final exam. If it's possible, however, I really, highly recommend this professor's epi class. I had signed up...
