  1. Does any other night shifters feel like days has no idea how nights works?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to thomask's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget those patients with Sundowners syndrome. During the day these patients are totally coherent or they are sleeping all day because they were awake all night.

  2. I got my NCLEX results today . . . I DID IT!!!

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

    Hi Mandi, Congratulations! I remember, if I am correct, your posting when you were way in the beginning of your journey. It's so great to see you achieve your goals! Now treat yourself to something...

  3. took nclex stopped at 75!! pls help..

    SarasotaRN2b replied to septemberRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Doesn't it take super long in California? I wouldn't panic yet. I think if you ask on this forum, there is a greater chance that you've passed than you failed. Also, from what I have heard, getting...

  4. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    SarasotaRN2b replied to KR's topic in General Students

    If you check out the Stickies on top of the Nursing Student Forums, you will see a mnemonics post. I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of suggestions on how to remember the 12 cranial

  5. Do you like day or night shift better and why?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Nursing

    we've had gns hired both day and night...there definitely seems to be enough work to go around.

  6. first name last name issue and drama

    SarasotaRN2b replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    my thoughts

  7. Math...again

    SarasotaRN2b replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, but if you don't have the right formula, it won't help much. I don't know what you think I'm getting at...but that was a comment made in general, not towards you. It's just something that I...

  8. Any tips for getting patients transferred faster?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to AggieD04's topic in Emergency

    I'm not trying to get into a floor nurses vs. ER nurses...during shift change it is crazy in both locales. With our ER, shifts are staggered...not every one works 7 to 7. Yes, of course there are...

  9. Math...again

    SarasotaRN2b replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Butyou have to use the right formula! What's wrong with reasoning through a problem? One of the things that I have found that helped (besides the great assistance from Daytonite!) is that when I am...

  10. Any tips for getting patients transferred faster?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to AggieD04's topic in Emergency

    Okay as a unit coordinator on a tele floor...if you want to get a patient transferred fast, don't do it during shift change (i.e. between 7 and 8). This is the most hectic period on the floors with...

  11. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to get in the whole doctors vs. nurses...just wanted to say that there training alone is probably triple what a RN requires (BSN prepared). Yes, it is bothersome...but I must say that the...

  12. patient and pet...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to onji's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with sharlynn! I can't put the term "very old" for my 9 1/2 y/o, Max. He can keep up with the new kitten who is about 6 months and gives as good as he gets. I love my cats (4)!

  13. Math...again

    SarasotaRN2b replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Would this be rounded up to 18

    DITTO!

  15. Will ADN RNs eventually be "phased out"

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NaTeTheGreaT's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I echo the sentiments of the posters proceeding me that, no, ADNs will not be phased out in the near future. Even with the great percentage of nurses having ADNs, the nursing shortage is going to...

  16. How long did you study for the NCLEX?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to SoulShine75's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The OP didn't say anything about 3 weeks, she said 6

  17. Certified RN-Coders are Being Recruited for Code@Home Jobs

    SarasotaRN2b replied to glb1960's topic in General Nursing

    So you are paying them $999 to get you certified so that you can work for them? I don't know...it sounds kind of shady. I would check via the BBB before doing anything. Also, ask for references....

  18. PRE-MED vs. PRE-NURSING

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

    Actually, I went to look at the site and they require either chemistry or physics. I can see the use for chemistry for nursing, but not as much

  19. LA or NYC

    SarasotaRN2b replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi dmaster, Although I am from NY (Long Island to be specific), I moved down to Florida about 7 years ago. I'm living in Bradenton where I will start nursing school at Manatee community college in...

  20. LA or NYC

    SarasotaRN2b replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I would venture to say that is because no one may have experience with working there. By reputation, it is a very good hospital and it is huge. I did look at the website which was impressive....

  21. LA or NYC

    SarasotaRN2b replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, I really believe a lot of it is dependent on your own spending habits. Rents as you know are quite up there; however, you do have options...you can share an apartment which will cut down those...

  22. PRE-MED vs. PRE-NURSING

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

    Wow! I guess you've proven me wrong. My apologies for jumping to conclusions :selfbonk:.

  23. PRE-MED vs. PRE-NURSING

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

    Well, you know what they say about "assume" :lol2: right? Believe me, I've got a fist full of science classes myself. I actually only need Organic chemistry and physics and I will be done with my...

  24. PRE-MED vs. PRE-NURSING

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

    Actually not. It's good that you do, but the majority of nursing majors go for the ADN. Most ADNs need to have A&P I/II and microbiology and these are not included (I don't believe in the...

  25. On the verge of Failing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to PurrRN's topic in General Students

    (((((AngelaSN))))), as I fellow cat lover, I can totally understand how you are feeling. If she doesn't come home to you, I pray that another cat lover took her in and is taking good care of her....
