  1. Anyone attending Adelphi University???

    BunnyRN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi, Currently, I am a nursing student at BMCC, and I'm interested in Adelphi's nursing program. But I would like to know about some of the Liberal Art pre-reqs needed to fulfill the BSN...

  2. When asked "what meds are you giving me?"

    BunnyRN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would look up meds before going into the room, see if VS need to be taken, look up any unfamiliar medication. Just briefly, and side effects, drug interactions. Once in the patients room with the...

  3. uggh i soo want to give up right now!

    BunnyRN replied to erin01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is better to ask questions. Then, just working, without knowing rationales. Newcomers will be overwhelmed, it is expected. Don't be intimidated by people who may look down upon your curiosity for...

  4. I'm so sick of training other nurses and new grads ! Will I ever get a break?

    BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!!! This is very scary. I believe that you should look for another job. Easier said, than done, in this tight economy. Talk to your NM, supervisor, management and explain that you do not feel...

  5. CNA went missing....

    BunnyRN replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

  7. I really need some advice...long......

    BunnyRN replied to beanpod's topic in General Students

  8. Why ADN is Better Than BSN for CRNA.. For Some

    BunnyRN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  9. Can another nurse chart on behalf of you?

    BunnyRN replied to Truegem's topic in Medical-Surgical

    But what if tomorrow RN Jones totally denies ever making that phone call. Do you how many nurses deny knowing a pt. condition, during end of shift report. The next day when getting report, they'll...

  10. Young Nursing Students

    BunnyRN replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    The way I see things, very cliche "Age ain't nothing but a number", is so...true! Being an older nursing student doesn't make a person any smarter or dumber from another. It is the will to achieve...

  11. First job in research - not really what I went to school for

    BunnyRN replied to jambi462's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Family members and Visitors telling me HOW to do my job!!!

    BunnyRN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    BunnyRN replied to RN28MD's topic in Medical-Surgical

    What about stool specimen not collected on patients with constant diarrhea? Or, reminding the patient that stool sample is needed, just give them a

  14. Can another nurse chart on behalf of you?

    BunnyRN replied to Truegem's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wouldn't take the chance because sometimes some nurses forget to do their work. I've come across some patients that denie certain treatments/medication given/done. Therefore, I will chart my own...

  15. UAP walking all over me...

    BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    FLArn, You are absolutely right!!! Some nurses fail to report putting a patient on the bedpan, and causing spilling. They are giving extra work, simple communication saves time. I appreciate my...

  16. UAP walking all over me...

    BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I have personally witnessed this type of behavior. This is why, I encourage my CNAs to continue their education. I am proud of my CNAs because they have a lot of skills that you could learn to help...

  17. feel like crap

    BunnyRN replied to horsehobby's topic in General Nursing

    I know in this economy, it may be hard to find a new job. But remember that your nursing license, and people's lives are in your hands. You must practice safely, and I know that they may push you...

  18. new grad offered nurse manager position

    BunnyRN replied to aye125RN's topic in New York Nursing

  19. Medications On Nclex!!!

    BunnyRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    HI EVERYONE, I would appreciate it very much to know whether the meds given on the NCLEX exams are given by their generic or brand names. Some meds are easier to remember them by thier...

  20. Please interpret this med order

    BunnyRN replied to Jennabugs's topic in Patient Medications

    BunnyRN replied to BethulieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi BethulieRN, Your manager is good because she wants to find out why you want out!!! I understand 100% where you are coming from. Some co-workers are not supportive as others. As a new nurse you need...

    BunnyRN replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York Nursing

    This is a shocker! Is that number exam failure, or overall class failure!!! um!!! 1st exam, is a killer, because students don't know what to expect from nursing style questions. That's why...

  23. Looking for a good nursing school to get into? any advise?

    BunnyRN replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York Nursing

    RN Care I think that you should apply to the program. Remember that your acceptance is based on the overall average of the other students applying to the program. Your grades are not bad. I'd worry...

    BunnyRN replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing
