  1. Please assess your patient well!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know whether it is because my own mom had been in the hospital, experiencing great pain at times, but I do find that because of her situation, I am a lot more sensitive to the silent...

  2. Night Shift for DUMMIES

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Does this tea have a high caffeine

  3. Vent! What part of the word NO!! do nurses not comprehend???

    SarasotaRN2b replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this is true of a lot of different areas, and not just nursing (re: uniforms). Just go into any classroom, an instructor will say numerous times that NO CELL PHONES...and yet, it never...

  4. Refusal for Blood Draw

    SarasotaRN2b replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    Any person who watches Law and Order know that in order to do a test that a patient refuses requires a court order. I'd rather get hauled in for obstruction of justice than

  5. having a baby due during nursing school..

    SarasotaRN2b replied to nd deb's topic in General Students

    I recall when I had gone to the orientation, the Dean of health sciences, stated that there was one student who due to a couple of pregnancies (and she had multiples at that), had deferred her...

  6. Ratemyprofessors.com?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Moondance's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I have to say that, I too, have found it to be a good source. While I can see LLG's point, and that might have happened in the beginning, but I think that if you see a large amounts of either...

  7. Help !Schools mistake cost me clinical seat starting Jan. 8!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ontocrna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, the truth is that no one wants to admit they made a mistake...it is always the other person's fault...I guess that is just a fact of human nature. I think that is why whenever anyone...

  8. The most horrible things instuctor's say...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would really like to hear more responses from the nurse educators on this forum. What is to be gained by treating another human being so horribly just because one is in a supervisory position. This...

  9. Never Give UP!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to silly1982's topic in General Nursing

    My question is why is this allowed to happen? Is it a combination of those that have stronger personalities allowed to prey on those with more timid personalities? I know as I get older I'm not as...

  10. Wiping Butt...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Chicagoan's topic in General Nursing

    Well, when you think of just wiping butts, yeah it's not too inviting, but when you think of the personal care that you are giving to your patient that he/she can't, it means so much more. I think...

  11. Don't know which nursing school route to take!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to cajjj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do agree with live4rachael who states that "every person's in a different situation.." what's good for one person isn't necessarily good for everyone. I'm hoping to get in the night program for...

  12. electrophysiology RNs?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to wish2bRN's topic in Cardiac

    Wow! I found that article extremely informative, thanks for providing the link. I also do think that an RN will feel more comfortable in an EP lab after gaining some experience working as a cardiac...

  13. Students who fail

    SarasotaRN2b replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well, the passing grade is probably an 80 and a 79.5 can be rounded up to 80. If you set it at 79, students getting a 78.5 will expect to pass. Unfortunately, you have to have a limit and stick to...

  14. Balancing Nursing school and work

    SarasotaRN2b replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Is it doable? That's a totally individual question...for some yes, for some no. Also, for some there is just no choice...if you want to go for nursing but you need to work, then you need to make the...

  15. anyone not like nursing before they started? or needed to choose?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to davoni444's topic in Nursing Career

    Davoni, I can almost understand what you are going through...the indecision and fear...I"ve let that stop me numerous times. I'm currently waiting to get into next year's program and this time, I...

  16. Would they even look at my application?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would really depend on the particular program in that school...some schools may do it on a first come first serve policy while others may do it on actual grades...I would definitely make sure that...

  17. Why can't doctors just "TELL" their patients the TRUTH!?!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to MrsStraty's topic in Oncology

    SO=significant other. While I am sure that doctor's want to be honest about their patients' conditions, some of them (NOT ALL!) are still so in the "cure all" phase. Unfortunately, they see a patient...

  18. Thinking about Ped. Onc.

    SarasotaRN2b replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Oncology

    Yes, I have to agree...that it does break your heart when you see a little one suffering, not too mention the families. But somehow these little ones have such inner strength that we as adults can...

  19. Hosp vs Office Oncology - New Nurse needs help ???

    SarasotaRN2b replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in Oncology

    I'm hoping that posting to this it will bring it to the forefront again. I too would like to hear the answers to your questions. Maybe this can be moved to the thread for nurses working in doctor's...

  20. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it isn't in the best interest for hospitals to have revolving door and new nurses. New nurses usually need 3 months on the job training with a preceptor. So everytime that a new grad fills...

  21. Has anyone felt pulled towards nursing...

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Since age 18 (and I'm over 40 now), I've been pulled towards nursing. I've let things get in the way including nerves, feasr, temporary setbacks, etc. I thought I had put nursing away, and I've...

  22. What do you do during the holidays and summers?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to jen42's topic in School

    Well, I would definitely suggest that you take a vacation for yourself for at least one week, but if you need to earn money...check out camp nursing...if you have kids, maybe you can get a reduced...

  23. To all School Nurses...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mygirlarely's topic in School

    all i could say with that was awww!!! that must feel

  24. Lenox hospital vs. Bellevue hospital

    SarasotaRN2b replied to jennifers1108's topic in New York Nursing

    I think the name of the union is NYPNU. I was looking at their website, specifically their recent news, and I find myself hesitant with Lenox Hill. The nurses there seem to be stretched pretty thin,...

  25. RN and LPN/LVN in user name

    SarasotaRN2b replied to suzanne4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i would have to think of how it is written...if my user name was sarasota rn, yes, that would be wrong, but as you can see my call name is sarasotarn2b with emphasis on the
