2. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   poopprincess replied to pipersjo's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I failed it. Twice. Luckily my school only used it as a measuring tool and I could still graduate. I took Kaplan and passed NCLEX 1st try with 75 questions. So IMO, not a good predictor. **During the...

5. Peripheral Line Not for ABT?

   poopprincess replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in Patient Medications

   I've given vanc through an PIV. If that is their only line then I use it and just monitor it as I would when infusing anything. Sounds to me like you came across an anal nurse who pitched a hissy for...

8. Do you think about...

   poopprincess replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

   My favorite is when I go into their room and they pooped and stuck their hand in it because they 'weren't sure if they had gone or not.' I really do earn my user name. lol Usually I don't worry about...

9. 1st week on job and absolutely hate it!!

   poopprincess replied to mrw322's topic in First Year After Licensure

   The grass is not always greener on the other side. It also may just be anxiety that makes you hate it. Most new grads hate their jobs in the beginning, I did too. Seriously, the learning curve is so...

10. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    poopprincess replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a family member who prefers the NP to the MD. I think they def serve a purpose in healthcare. As long as they are experienced I think they are great. The only thing I disagree with on the "NP...

13. Resume Questions!

    poopprincess replied to ceefde9891's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that the 'Anticipated 2013' is good advice. However, I am on the opposite side of the fence concerning clinical experience on a resume. I put it on mine and I have successful in landing...
