  1. Forgetting simple things... Worried about NCLEX

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    Long story short, I walked in graduation in May, but I won't be able to take the NCLEX until late August/early September. I finished all my nursing courses in May but had a few hanging credits I had...

  4. It's been 3 months since grad... Can I still pass NCLEX?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Long story short, I actually walked in graduation (and finished all my nursing courses) in May. I had a few general electives to take before I got my actual degree (and thus had to wait to take...

  5. Graduating nursing school but I just want to scrub

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in Operating Room

    So, I'm graduating from my BSN program in August. I have around 200 hours in the OR in clinicals and I have seen what the roles are. Here's my conundrum: I just want to scrub, not circulate. I'm...

    bump!

  9. Graduating nursing school in May but I just want to scrub.

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

    And, if I somehow find out I've screwed myself out of what I'm wanting to do by getting a BSN, could I just choose not to renew my license, and choose not to disclose my

  10. Graduating nursing school in May but I just want to scrub.

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

    Either way, I do plan on getting a CST, even after I get my BSN. It would be sort of insane to quit now. If nothing else, I can get an RNFA. But the question still stands: would any hospital in their...

  11. Getting ready to start senior year. Still overwhelmed and feel I don't know what I'm doing

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    So, I'm getting ready to start my final year of my BSN program at a relatively well-known nursing school. I have kept a high GPA and have been doing well in my coursework. Here's the thing: I still...

  13. Best alarm clock tone for an iphone?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    So, for some reason my new iPhone 4S's volume isn't... that loud. Essentially, my biggest fear ever is sleeping through an alarm and missing a clinical or even a lecture. Can you guys give me your...

  14. What is general skills lab etiquette?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    So, my school has a pretty nice simulation lab. Students are allowed to schedule time in there or just practice when there isn't a class using the lab. My concern is: I'm afraid to utilize the skills...

  15. What kind of blood pressure reading will you see in shock patients?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in Critical Care

    I'm just curious of what kind of blood pressure reading (systolic, diastolic, MAP), you might get in a patient with shock? I know that shock is not defined in these terms, but I'm just wondering what...

  16. Fundamentals instructor doesn't teach.

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    I am genuinely concerned about my fundamentals instructor. It's to the point where it could probably be borderline reported to the State Board of Nursing. Here's what a typical class session looks...

  17. Instructor won't allow us to use our own calculator for math test?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    On our first dimensional analysis exam coming up, our instructor says we won't be allowed to use our own personal calculators because we could "store the conversions in it"?! Here's the problem with...

  19. Males asking for female patients?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    If it's good practice for a male nurse to have a female chaperone when taking care of a female patient, why is it absurd to think of a male nurse being a chaperone for a female taking care of a male...

  20. Males asking for female patients?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I suppose you'd care for the same reason a male nurse might feel more comfortable getting a female coworker to chaperone if needing to do anything involving things like bathing

  21. Males asking for female patients?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why a male would be uncomfortable with another male nurse, barring either "creeping" or extreme insecurity in their sexual orientation. I mean, whatever makes him uncomfortable with...

  22. Wearing sterile sleeves or a sterile gown for foley insertion?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B posted a topic in General Students

    While it may seem silly to some, I believe I'd find myself more comfortable inserting a urinary catheter if I was able to ensure the sterility of my hands. The entire technique of open-gloving for...

  23. Wearing sterile sleeves or a sterile gown for foley insertion?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding about what I'm asking. I'm not saying "putting on sterile gloves is hard". I'm saying "using sleeves ensures sterility better than gloves, because if...

  24. Wearing sterile sleeves or a sterile gown for foley insertion?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the responses, everyone. Yes, I'll admit that my comparison of surgical laparoscopy to a Foley insertion is quite apples to oranges, but my point really lies more along the lines of "if...

  25. Wearing sterile sleeves or a sterile gown for foley insertion?

    Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I don't know. Do surgeons use their wrists to insert and operate laparoscopes? As long as their hands stay sterile and they're not rubbing their hands on anything but the laparoscope, will it be ok?...
