  1. First day of clinicals .. does this get easier?

    ComeClarity replied to Neldavi's topic in General Nursing

    Recent LPN grad here. I would give yourself more time to adjust to the whole thing. Like you, when I entered nursing school, I had never worked as a CNA or wiped another adult's butt before so it was...

  2. Anyone see "The Drs" where they talked about nurses?

    ComeClarity replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, he's freaking

  3. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    ComeClarity replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    What kind of nursing school did you go to?! That sounds like a horrible

  4. New to Assisted living: Help?

    ComeClarity replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Really?? I didn't think Florida did the whole medication tech thing? Didn't know that. I do think it's a good idea for some of the less risky medications, such as vitamins, stool softeners, etc....

  5. Terrible first clinical experience (CNA)

    ComeClarity replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    OP, don't let the bad habits of others become your own. Even if you don't see the other CNAs keeping the patients covered while doing bed baths, grab a sheet and cover them yourself. I, too, remember...

  6. How can an rn with no nursing experience be a supervisor

    ComeClarity replied to mozella's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd never take a job in a supervisory position over other nurses as a new grad. No

  7. Fired from my first job today......Feeling like a failure.

    ComeClarity replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your privacy settings are all set as viewable by "Friends Only," your statuses won't be visible, and any sort of software used to "mine" a particular user's statuses wouldn't be able to access it...

  8. New to Assisted living: Help?

    ComeClarity replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Exactly.. what if a med tech or CNA gave an anti-hypertensive and the resident's b/p was low to begin with and they ended up bottoming out after receiving the med because it wasn't checked? That would...

  9. New to Assisted living: Help?

    ComeClarity replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Maybe it's different here in Florida, but I've never heard of CNAs being allowed to pass meds. If I'm the one pulling the meds out, I want to be absolutely sure the patient is receiving them, you...

  10. Any tips for pharmacology? (NCLEX-PN)

    ComeClarity posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm studying for the NCLEX-PN and I find myself getting really hung up over all the drugs. I guess it's the anxiety of knowing that they could possibly throw a question at me and I will not know the...

  11. Orientation without an orientor....

    ComeClarity replied to ladybugJan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's ridiculous. I guess these facilities just want a warm body to start work as quickly as possible, patient safety be

  12. on call on different floor that too once a week....help..

    ComeClarity replied to sweetjellies1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Only 2 days long? I guess if you were an experienced nurse with years of LTC experience, that'd be acceptable, but geez, you're a new grad. Honestly, I'm not sure I would accept an LTC job that...

  13. Any tips for pharmacology? (NCLEX-PN)

    ComeClarity replied to ComeClarity's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I mean the majority of meds under each classification at least have similar therapeutic effects, similar side effects, etc. I have the green Saunders study guide, but I really don't like the way it...

  14. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    ComeClarity replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Wow, that CI sounds horribly unprofessional. I mean what does she expect - if you've never given someone a bed bath before, of course you're going to be a little slow. I was terrified and slow as...

  15. Graduating LPN school on 1/24!!

    ComeClarity posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I MADE IT!!! Last day of LPN school was today, and my pinning is on Monday. I'm so flippin' excited!!! I think it's just now starting to sink in. I do plan on bridging to RN and then to BSN...

  16. Terrified of clinicals

    ComeClarity replied to Brekka's topic in General Students

    This statement is so true it's not even

  17. Does anyone else use 'lisa frank' school supplies as an adult?

    ComeClarity replied to katebean04's topic in General Students

    Haha, I have 2 Hello Kitty watches that I have worn to clinicals and I fully intend on wearing when I start

  18. Graduating and feel unprepared!

    ComeClarity replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's a normal feeling when it comes to nursing school. I just graduated LPN school, and while I know I've learned a lot.. I definitely don't feel ready to go out there and tackle it all as a...

  19. Questions about g tube

    ComeClarity replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    During my pediatrics rotation, I had the opportunity to administer quite a few meds and feedings through G-tubes. However, we did not pull back and aspirate as is taught in the book - our instructor...

  20. Clinical Rotations

    ComeClarity replied to positivenfun's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    "SNF" stands for skilled nursing facility, which you might know as a "nursing home." Programs vary, of course, but I'll just tell you how my clinical rotations went down in my LPN program. We did our...

  21. i need advice from a more experienced nurse or student !

    ComeClarity replied to dannexO_'s topic in LPN to RN

    If you're at a 4-year university, generally, BSN (Bachelor's in Nursing) programs are pretty competitive to get into. Look into local community colleges' ADN (Associates in Nursing) programs and try...

  22. Does anyone else use 'lisa frank' school supplies as an adult?

    ComeClarity replied to katebean04's topic in General Students

    Omg, I used to LOVE Lisa Frank stuff as a kid. Now I'm a Hello Kitty

  23. Questions about g tube

    ComeClarity replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but a grad LPN still studying for NCLEX. I actually was just going over this a few minutes ago in my Saunders study guide. To determine if the G-tube is still in the stomach, you...

  24. Describe the Ugliest Scrubs You Have Seen!

    ComeClarity replied to PacoUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hell, at least her thong ain't sticking out and it's not

  25. add future employer on facebook?

    ComeClarity replied to Laurenrobertson's topic in General Nursing

    Nooo. Don't do it. The HR manager will think you're a creepy stalker. FB is too
