    MRed94 posted a topic in General Students

    I started my next to last rotation about 3 weeks ago, and ended up in Hospice for my Home Health rotation. I am the only one in the class who wanted to go to Hospice. I am also the only LPN in the...

  2. Comments about clinical rotation.

    MRed94 replied to MRed94's topic in General Students

    I certainly will tell her. I tell her when I see her doing something special, and I ask a lot of "why did you do it that way" questions. She is so patient.

  3. Help me study for A&P

    MRed94 replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    I loved my coloring books. I am very much a visual learner, and that really cemented the facts for me. I used a lot of flash cards, the Hole's anatomy site, and various diagrams and sayings and etc...

  5. Sewing your own scrubs

    MRed94 replied to obeyacts2's topic in General Nursing

    My ma makes all my uniforms, tops, pants, jackets. It's nice to have them only cost about 15 dollars for the 3 pieces. And I get to have the special occasions ones. Plus, none of mine look like...

  6. Stripes

    MRed94 replied to Paprikat's topic in General Nursing

    Graduated in 88. My poor cap resides very smashed in a box in another box of mementos. Our cap was white, with a narrow light blue and white stripe for the LPN, and black stripes for the RN. I think...

    MRed94 replied to NURS4GOD's topic in Agency Nurses

    Grrrrrrrrrrr. Got there last night (after driving an HOUR), and found out that I had been cancelled.....NOBODY told ME. I couldn't get a hold of my scheduler, so I have no idea if she knew or not....

    MRed94 posted a topic in General Nursing

  10. How do you stay cheerful and bubbly during work?

    MRed94 replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I find that when I am with a resident, I am the most gentle and compassionate that I can be, and when I get to the linen room is when I start screaming. I have managed to train myself over the years...

    MRed94 replied to lindahanna's topic in General Nursing

    With this, our teacher gave us a tic tac toe board, and had us use it always to determine what kind of problem it was, and then to determine if it is fully, partially, or not compensated. Let me see...

  13. Nursing Theory???

    MRed94 replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    It is all through what we are learning in our ADN classes, but is there more for a guide, not necessarily to be the most important part of the learning. I am finding it is barely there in the...

  16. Nurses with ADHD/ADD

    MRed94 replied to thewhip's topic in General Nursing

    HI! I am "undiagnosed" ADD, but with a kid who IS diagnosed, I have exactly the same symptoms, and Ma said that I was JUST like that as a kid. I find what works best for me is coffee and more coffee,...

  17. Med Errors!!!

    MRed94 replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this qualifies or not, but here goes anyway. Last weekend, another agency nurse (from a competing agency) came to the facility where I work the most, and worked a day shift. She was an...

    MRed94 replied to KristaB's topic in General Students

    I wear Barco, and they seem to be heavy enough to not show the world your shorts....

  21. Pitocin

    MRed94 replied to TineAngelo's topic in General Students

    While I agree with the "let's not use it until/if we have to" group, as a mother myself, I wouldn't have the healthy, happy children that I have without Pitocin and an Epidural. Kid #2 was stuck in...

  22. Nurses now responsible for unplugging toilets on their floors!!

    MRed94 replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would just have asked him a whole buncha stupid questions.. 1. Is the toilet that big round white thing? 2. What, exactly, is a plunger? 3. What do I do with said plunger? 4. What are all...

    MRed94 replied to mia's topic in General Students

    I wear hearing aides in both ears, and have found them to be useless when doing a BP. I use a double barreled Cardiac scope, and love it. Cost me a pretty $$, but well worth it. I don't use my...

  25. New Nurses Poorly Educated

    MRed94 replied to Huganurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to second or third the notion that "if you don't open your mouth and TELL somebody that you want to learn or do, it won't happen!" I bet I put in every foley in the hospital while I was...
