  1. Student looking busy

    Roseyposey replied to OnTheRoad's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did every little "errand" that I could. I answered call lights, fetched ice chips, warm blankets, helped with ambulation, I even strained urine and grabbed the nurses sodas from the...

  2. Okay, Dumb question=Diluting meds

    Roseyposey replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing

  4. HELP!!!! im in nursing school! i need serious help!

    Roseyposey replied to futgirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Make sure you have one thing you do for yourself - I'm in a performing wind ensemble, and that's my outlet. I also set aside one night a week - usually Friday - that homework is forbidden. We order...

  5. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

    Roseyposey replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OH! And we *hate* it when teachers READ power point slides to us (without further discussion)! It gives us an "I could of read it at home" attitude. Powerpoints should be brief, not paragraph form,...

  6. Any RNs w/ urgent care experience?

    Roseyposey replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you don't want my input, as I'm just an LPN - but, I've worked at an urgent care clinic for about 7 months now and love it. The doctors I work with are great. The days can get a little...

  9. What would you do if.....

    Roseyposey replied to EmerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, HCWs are not legally obligated to assist when off-duty. I believe law enforcement officers and paramedics, however, are. As far as assisting without proper protection - personally, I...

  10. IM shot question

    Roseyposey replied to ibmaryann's topic in General Nursing

    Did she perhaps mean she didn't know if she got the Band-Aid in the right spot? I know many times if I give an injection, I have a hard time locating where to place the Band-Aid if there's no mark or...

  11. What's your holiday bonus?

    Roseyposey replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think my bosses take the cake this year! I guess in the past, they did give a Christmas bonus...this year, there's been speculation that there will be no bonuses - even though business is...

  12. good grades vs. competent nurse

    Roseyposey replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible to get A's in nursing school. I get so tired of people making generalizations that anyone who gets an A must be a horrible nurse - book smart but bad with patients. I have gotten the...

  13. OUCH!!!! Ampule issues. Anyone else have problems?

    Roseyposey replied to notyourordinarymom's topic in General Nursing

    My method is to open the alcohol packet, use the pad to wipe off the ampule (because I hate to waste anything), stick the top of the ampule inside the packet to break it - works really well. My...

  14. Would you go to the ER for this?

    Roseyposey replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely would not go to the ER for a boil. This would be something well handled in an urgent care clinic. I have to say, as I work in an urgent care clinic, you can get excellent care in one....

  15. Drug Guide

    Roseyposey replied to arv's topic in General Nursing

    I too must say I am a fan of the Davis. We use a different one at work (can't think of the name right now), and I hate using it. I like the organization of the

  17. I could really use some advice.

    Roseyposey replied to RN mom of 2's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered a doctor's office? I work in an urgent care clinic and love it. The pay isn't as high, but the stress is much lower, I don't work graveyard shifts, and I'm home on the major...

  18. Would like some expert opinions

    Roseyposey posted a topic in General Nursing

    The clinic I work in pre-fills syringes with flu vaccine. I don't really like giving meds I don't draw up, but trust the other nurses I work with and have been using them. The other day I noticed an...

    Roseyposey replied to Elle.p.enn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I started in an urgent care clinic in June. I love my job, though the pay is significantly less than I could have made elsewhere. My orientation was quite short; however, I am the only LPN at this...

    Roseyposey replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    I tried to study at home my first semester; it didn't work out so well with my kids interrupting. I found a group study room in the school's library I would reserve for myself and force myself to go...

  25. Took NCLEX-PN, feeling totally crushed

    Roseyposey posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday and left feeling defeated. I felt like I was guessing on most of the questions. The test shut off at 85 questions, which I've heard can be either very good or very bad....
