    Interventions for patients with dissociation??

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi, What would you do for a patient who is experiencing dissociation/feeling of dreaming rather than reality? Other than the priority of keeping them safe. Do you only re-orient them to reality and...

    We have a long way to go as health care providers

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wet Noodle, thanks. I know the money is not nearly as much as nursing but it was going to be something on the side. Just something to make extra money and learn drugs at the same time. BlueDevil, I...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I appreciate the kind words and thoughts from everyone. Stargazer, I referred to it as mental illness due to that being the technical name. Marie, I understood what you meant. The Virginia Board of...

    netglow, I got certified 6 years ago (when I thought I was interested in being a pharmacist, then I decided I wanted to be more hands on patient care) and kept up with the certification through...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is very unfortunate. I would rather know someone has a mental illness and know what I am dealing with than to scare someone into having to lie about it and not know what I might be dealing with. I...

    Interventions for patients with dissociation??

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you, marsh! I appreciate your reply. I try and obtain any knowledge that I can from nurses and people who know more than I do. I will keep that in mind for any dissociation pts I receive....

    We have a long way to go as health care providers

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am in Virginia and apparently, it is. There's a clause/statute in the Code of Virginia that a board can deny someone that could have a mental impairment (illness). I think I am more in shock because...

    Having an EXTREMELY hard time as a new Med Surg RN.

    wish_me_luck replied to Super Ultra's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't be too hard on yourself because that's what makes your confidence disappear. The in and out cath is something that anyone can miss as some female patients are harder than others (i.e. some have...

    Does the Board/Pearson Vue send out a break down of results with passing?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know people who have to take it again get a breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses; but do people who pass get that? I am not 100% sure I passed, I am just going by the PVT. I want to know what...

    Does the Board/Pearson Vue send out a break down of results with passing?

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh...I know there's like 60 "real" questions and 15 "screen" questions (going with the minimum of 75), or so I was told. When that happens, how many is the person actually getting correct? Is it like...

    wish_me_luck replied to Sharmi RN-BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hmmm...tips...I'll be honest, NCLEX was not what I expected. I think PDA helped more than Saunders. If you come to a question that there are two answers that sound great and you know one is absolutely...

    wish_me_luck replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    That's dangerous when a CI refuses to help a student and says "Figure it out". Was there any family? I am not keen on the idea of only asking family but you have to figure out for sure who this person...

    So... What if patient says that the wristband is not them?...

    wish_me_luck replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    You ask them what their name is. I was slightly confused as to whether you just said "Are you so and so?" or if you asked them and they told you and it was different from the arm band. If it did...

    Question about PVT

    Hi, I want to do the trick, but how do you answer the yes no questions? Does it matter? Can I put yes I have taken it before? I am so scared to

    Question about PVT

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to PVT, I passed! I am in shock. I answered yes, I have taken NCLEX before and yes, I took it for that license before. No, to different license and filled in the school info. Hit next, and...

    Question about PVT

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I still don't know how to answer the yes no questions. I mean technically, I have taken NCLEX before. So, does it matter how you answer

    ATI is different: let's talk about it.

    wish_me_luck replied to BlueEyedGuy's topic in General Students

    I used ATI in school and usually it was good. But I will say this, I agree with gatoraimsLPN, the first thing you would do and what I would put on NCLEX (I am taking it soon) is re-position the pt to...

    wish_me_luck replied to Princessskarletto's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I replied to your other post. UK does not have NCLEX, they have their own version of testing for licensure. There's only one company that does NCLEX and that's Pearson Vue. NCLEX is also attached to...

    Nclex but not going to America

    wish_me_luck replied to Princessskarletto's topic in Nurse Registration

    First of all, NCLEX is an American (as in USA) test. There's other tests (similar to NCLEX) in other countries but it's not the NCLEX. Second of all, like passredskins1 said, NCLEX is a test to...

    Why would you do this?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I am studying for NCLEX and one of the questions is about PPE and removal order in an airborne room. The following were the choices to put in order: N95 respirator, gloves, gown, googles, and...

    Correct Auscultation order?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, I am finding many variations. I was thinking it was RLQ, RUQ, LUQ, LLQ. Is this correct? Or if it's not, can someone, who knows for a fact what it is, tell me?

    Nursing instructor blues

    wish_me_luck replied to zephyr9's topic in General Students

    Yep, that sounds about right. The good news is you are not alone. Apparently, it's normal to have nursing instructors that don't think much of certain students. But keep in mind, there probably will...

    wish_me_luck replied to TXRN2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would be angry too. We put a lot of effort into our recovery and feels awful when others, especially loved ones, doubt us. I would have asked him what makes him think that you had been drinking....
