  1. Stupid mistakes!!!!

    DenaInWyo replied to kit3375's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh Lisa..LOL I am SO glad to see that I am not the only one up late at night (well, I do work nights..or did) looking around to see if anyone else out there is making mistakes. I made a dumb one this...

  2. your very own personal crusade

    DenaInWyo replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    UGH! I hate this too, and it seems to be chronic where I work. I know I am a student and will learn more about how "the real world" works once I am out there, but it still seems to me that this is a...

  3. your very own personal crusade

    DenaInWyo replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Paper pants! I love it! Think that's what I'll start calling them. My pet peeve: my coworkers who think that it's okay to put our elderly ladies' hair into little kid hairstyles. We're talking...

  4. Want RN-MSN but...

    DenaInWyo replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You didn't mention details, so I don't know if this applies to you or not, but just in case: I had one semester while I was still majoring in computer science that was just a mess for me. I got 2 Fs!...

  5. Smoking among Nurses is hypocritical.

  6. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    DenaInWyo replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a ghost story exactly, but it kind of bugs me and is undoubtedly creepy. My grandmother passed away last January. It was a very emotional situation, with a lot of hard feelings on both...

  7. First Death Experience

    DenaInWyo posted a topic in General Students

    Last night at work I had my first experience with death. I'm not freaked out about it, just, well, affected by it and it's heavy on my mind. I've never even been around anyone dying in my personal...

  11. Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RN Good/Not Good?

    DenaInWyo replied to watchthis22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Um, yeah, I would think so :chuckle Saunders has 4000 practice questions. I don't think they make it for Palm, but it does come with a disk for your PC. And about summer..honestly, I would have...

  12. First Death Experience

    DenaInWyo replied to DenaInWyo's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much for your responses..your kind words and shared experiences are really helping me wrap my head around this. I can really relate to having it in the back of your head through the...

  13. Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RN Good/Not Good?

    DenaInWyo replied to watchthis22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Too funny..that's exactly what I'm doing! I hate to say it out loud (or type it), but now that the first couple of weeks of summer have passed, I'm (GASP!)

  14. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    DenaInWyo replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, we're having a problem with a CNA that is like that. You can tell that she truly hates her job..and the residents at my LTC suffer. She's just a bad attitude on two legs. In her case though,...

  15. Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RN Good/Not Good?

    DenaInWyo replied to watchthis22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got Saunders last week. Spend your money there. So far I've only browsed through it (hey, it's summer vacation!) but I've found three questions that are almost word for word the same as ones...

  16. First Death Experience

    DenaInWyo replied to DenaInWyo's topic in General Students

    Actually, she did have someone with her the whole time. As I said, she was a much loved resident, so every aide in the building made it a point of coming and spending a few minutes with her. At...

  17. what is a good stethoscope for nursing student?

    DenaInWyo replied to nurse051's topic in General Students

    Ugh..this has been a sore subject for me, so the best personal advice I can give is to buy a good one straight away. By the time you go through the cheaper ones, and discard them because they aren't...

  18. Phlebotomy Clinical - Sent Home

    DenaInWyo replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    My closest nsg school buddy went through something similar to this during one of our 'community' clinicals this year. She felt like everything went swimmingly, had lots of chit chat with her nurse...

  19. a lot of students were talking negatively about me behind my back

    DenaInWyo replied to student06's topic in General Students

    And what exactly was the person who told you this stuff hoping to gain? I suppose it's possibly a good thing to know when people are being two faced to you, but it's not exactly like they were...

  20. bachelorette degree RN vs. Associate degree RN

    DenaInWyo replied to beebester's topic in General Students

    I certainly didn't mean it in an offensive way. It was meant in the same spirit as letting someone know they've walked out of the restroom with toilet paper on their shoe. Better on a message board...

  21. bachelorette degree RN vs. Associate degree RN

    DenaInWyo replied to beebester's topic in General Students

    Baccalaureate Couldn't resist..was just killin'

  22. Mc Donalds pays more for CNA with 8 yrs exp

    DenaInWyo replied to Rnltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just took a pay cut from $15 or more per hour as a waitress to take my first CNA job at a LTC. Yep, I'm nuts :chuckle I'm also REALLY sick of being a waitress. Mostly I really feel that the...

  23. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    DenaInWyo replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    When you and your friends are at the all night diner at 3 am..not because you stayed up partying/clubbing that late, but because you GOT UP that early to get that final review in before the big test....

  24. Numbing Your Butt!!!!

    DenaInWyo replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I broke my tailbone while sledding with my kids last November. I'm just now to the point where I can sit down without being cautious about it. That's just SO not fun! I used to sit with pillows...

  25. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    DenaInWyo replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I don't think of the term "nurse" as gender specific. I am, however, working my fanny off to get an RN after my name, with all that title implies. Nope, nope, I wouldn't want to see it...
