  1. How are your grades posted?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to poog's topic in General Students

    Our teachers will round up a final grade following normal rounding rules, so if I got a 91.9 in a class I would be bumped to a 92 and have an A. The only time they won't round up is if it's a 74.9 or...

  2. Nursing Shoes??

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dansko's are great, get the patent leather so that they don't get ruined if you have to give showers, I think there is another fabric that doesn't ruin as easily as well. You just really want to be...

  3. Stopping patient care for another patient

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You weren't wrong, there was no difference in the priority of their needs so you did what any other nurse would do, the right thing. Some people are impossible to please and you will just have to...

  4. nurse fired

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes, it's kinda scary that she thinks she did no wrong, I don't know that I would trust her with anything at

  5. Need help with labs!

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    A general lab book would work just fine. The most important labs are the abnormal labs. If the patient is admitted with an abnormal lab you need to keep an eye on the results every time they are...

  6. Medical words that make you cringe.

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Scrotum, hemorrhoid, when anything is described using a food like cheesy, or my favorite when a patient saw a huge clot of blood by the bed and said, ewww it looks like hamburger:barf02::barf01: Oh...

  7. Medical words that make you cringe.

    Nevermind, just saw your post, glad you were able to solidify what the teacher had

  10. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tend to be a loudmouth in instances like this just because I don't like to be thought of as a tattle tale. The next time you see her cheating I would just say (out loud so that everyone can hear)...

  11. How do you check a pulse? Nope I'm not a student

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I can't rely on pulse ox or the pulse that my blood pressure machine gives because 95% of the patients on my floor have A-fib, I usually just do a radial in whatever position they happen to be

  12. Do I need 2 stethoscopes?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to meghan91's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Uh no, no need for 2 unless you are just tragically unorganized and lose things often. This seems like a silly waste of money, there is nothing wrong with a good littmann and I highly recommend it...

  13. Things that gross you out..

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Students

    The cloud of skin flakes when you take off Ted hose or release the tourniquet, I quit breathing and excuse myself and only return when the cloud has settled,

  14. Things that gross you out..

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Students

    The smell of infected urine, no need for a UA or urine culture if I'm around, just need my nose, nastiest smell

  15. Sick with fever....keep interview or reschedule?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to emptyboxcars's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I first started reading this my response was going to be take a Tylenol and suck it up, but 4 hours??? No way can anyone push themselves to be on top of their game for that long while sick....

  16. Is the second year of an ADN program easier than the first?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to 777RN's topic in General Students

    Mine was harder, we just had fundamentals and nursing concepts first semester and it was cake, second semester it got real very fast. We had OB, Mental health, and Adult One. Very tough semester but...

  17. CPR Certification Question

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    Definitely check with your school before doing the red cross CPR class, none of the schools and clinical sites in my area take it, only

  18. Becoming an NP....

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are ADN to MSN programs out there but they are longer of course because you still have to take bachelors level courses to get your MSN. There are two of these programs in the KCMO area. Good...

  19. Your embarrassing questions

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    This is no joke! Always have a plan of action in case the resident says "what do you think we should do" This happens multiple times per day, especially this time of year because they are all new...

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I know it's hard for you to understand while you are still just starting with nursing school, but as far as what you are worried about, you will be fine. Most people forget the stuff they learn in...

  22. Opinion, WWYD?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think I would have to say something and put my own little "patient safety" spin on it. It is a patient safety issue because you can't provide as good of care with 7 as you could with 5 and I would...

  23. Is this still normal or do I need professional help?

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to iamgabrielle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    FORTHELOVEOF!!!! replied to GitanoRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Depending on the size of the lab and the instruments they have an HIV test can be ran within an hour. I have worked at a smaller hospital where we had to wait a while because we didn't do the test...
