    Borderline personality disorder

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Psychiatric

    Okay, thanks. I don't think I will be on a unit with them as I want public health. But, in public health, we see a lot of vulnerable populations cases (psych, homelessness, addicts) and I want to know...

    Tell me about yourself...ugh!

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hate this interview question. The reason I hate it is honestly not only do I not know what to say; but if they want to know great things I have done...it's hard for me. I am not a "horn tooter" (a...

    How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    wish_me_luck replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with lrobinson5. I was with you up until the no makeup part. I personally hardly ever wear make up and it's because I look fine without it. I wear it occasionally if I am having photos taken...

    Orienting a new hire - issues

    wish_me_luck replied to teleRN08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    maybe faked credentials or thinks the 4 yrs makes her superior. I disagree with the mental health issues...that has no bearing and quite frankly is offensive to people who are stellar at work and have...

    Mental Health Tech Question

    wish_me_luck replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    I would say not. I think I would probably hire you even more because you know what it's like. BUT, that is my opinion. I would not disclose anything

    the dreaded desired salary question for your dream job...

    wish_me_luck replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    Well, actually, my dream job right now has a lower salary than other jobs that aren't in what I want. I have classmates making like 22-24 dollars starting out as a new grad. My dream job pays like...

    Is attending a patient's funeral overstepping "the" boundary?

    wish_me_luck replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a funeral of a man that I took care of for around 7 months. The family was happy to see me. We are human and we get close to people. Like beckyboo1 said, don't go to all of them; but if one...

    In all honesty

    wish_me_luck replied to osdbmom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't mention it. If it's a constant thing, then I would find someone to take them for you. I know this post was almost a month ago but this applies to any job. Places offer assistance for pts needing...

    Books that help with prioritization, leadership, etc.

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am having a terrible time with that area. But, that is hit hard on NCLEX. So, do you guys know of any books or ways to studying that? How did you guys study for that (obviously you passed, so that's...

    Men in OB/Peds Nursing....Any thoughts?....

    wish_me_luck replied to Wild Irish LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think most women have a problem with it (I said most, some do have a problem). I personally have had gyn exams by male doctors. Male nurse helping with birthing process is no

    Need help with interview questions

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Okay, there are a couple of jobs I am going to put in for. I like both of them and either one I would be fine with as they are both considered public health. I am terrible with coming up with...

    How can I convince my husband that I NEED to go to nursing school?

    wish_me_luck replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in General Students

    Don't kill me, but...I support you in your dreams (as all of us because we are nursing students and then there are other nurses), but I don't view that as he doesn't support your dream. I think he is...

    You need to report that. I agree with the other poster, you are just as guilty if you know and witness that and do

    Z track for IM injections?

    wish_me_luck replied to gnursjr2's topic in Psychiatric

    I don't know too much about psych injections. But, I would say z track. In addition, I am big into public health and at the health department had a discussion with a nurse about the aspiration thing....

    Can you put gloves on after tying tourniquet?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am not talking about when someone is bleeding and you are doing first aid. I am talking about blood draws and IVs. When I have done them, I always got my gloves caught in the tourniquet and I think...

    YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    wish_me_luck replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    wooh, haha. I needed bangs trimmed bad and places were charging like 16 dollars for them and hair schools charged like 2 dollars. It was to save money and to let them practice. It was a good trim,...

    Can you put gloves on after tying tourniquet?

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I once was assessing a patient as a student (just your general assessment, nothing touching body parts that required gloves) and the nurse came in and told me to put gloves on...the skin was intact. I...

    YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    wish_me_luck replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, for my answer, I would let them do pretty much anything on me (I am just recently out of school myself). You have to do stuff to learn. Now, that being said I have had people who were in the...

    wish_me_luck replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    dumb question...OP, what's the difference in venipuncture done by a student and an IV not done by student? Both you are getting poked in the vein...not being a smart tail side, just wanted to

    Are nursing diagnoses only from actual assessments or can it come from labs too?

    wish_me_luck replied to lovecorinth's topic in General Nursing

    Labs too. For example risk for bleeding r/t ... as evidenced by low platelet count, etc. (this is an example); then you have to consider people who are post op, if they have low albumin or something,...

    Why don't they change LTC facilities?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wanna know. I hear terrible stuff about them like understaffed, can't provide good care for the patients, forced to falsify charting/documents, etc. So, why can't they change all that and get...

    Overheard at the nurse's station

    wish_me_luck replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    mindlor, no one is saying delegating is bad; but, come on, the nurse was just in the same room that she wanted the CNA to put on the bed pan. That's just a bad attitude and poor
