  1. Why can't you get a job?

    Labrynth replied to sunmaidliz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in the same boat. My first job met a difficult end and I have now been out of work for 6 months. I don't know what to do. I am enrolled in BSN classes for this fall and I'm not sure I even want to...

  2. Stuck between a rock and a hard place

    Labrynth replied to csoultz's topic in Nursing Career

    Liking your coworkers is a bonus. Find another job. The unprofessional behaviors resulting in you being trapped in your current situation demonstrate a lack of desire for your facility to assist you...

  3. NCLEX RN in 2 Weeks!!!!!!!!!

    Labrynth replied to Nurse Neddie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan and Silvestre and a solid study partner were all I used to prepare. If you are getting 60-75 on Kaplan you have roughly a 90% chance of passing the nclex. This does not mean slack off! This...

  4. Am I a failure?

    Labrynth replied to Redstudent's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is not unlike hostile brainwashing. It takes a ton of work for the teachers to break your spirit and make you feel defeated for them to start building you back up. It is necessary to...

  5. my coworker is trying to micromanage me!

    Labrynth replied to andsoitis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. New RN and CNAs are disrespectful

    Labrynth replied to nurseladybug12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am seeing that the nurses come and go but the gns's/cna's stay generally on the same hall/floor/wing. I am starting to identify a lack of concern for the RN's opinions/priorities/clinical decision...

  7. Hard to manage patients

    Labrynth replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    The staff spliters are the worst. They try to play on your simpathies and then turn when you dont give in. The only way to manage this is to have good communication with the other nurses so you can be...

  8. NCLEX QUESTION

    Labrynth replied to sharon ledford's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I strongly feel Kaplan is a better representation of what NCLEX is really like. Problem is you have to be able to critically think through the questions. Is there some other reason this person may not...

  9. Help me pleaseee!!!

    Labrynth replied to Sumandeep's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you are getting 60% or better on the kaplan question trainers you are doing well. If you pass the Kaplan pretest and timed question trainers with a 60% or higher that means you have something like...

  10. what to do on a patient with hypovolemia

    Labrynth replied to kristine.guzman_rn's topic in International Nursing

    Ask yourself what would happen if you gave him a bolus of 500 or 1000 ml of NS and then he received 2-4 units of blood. He is in heart failure right? Where will the fluid end up? In his lungs then it...

  11. Decreasing Anxiety prior to taking NCLEX

    Labrynth replied to mcasborn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If your Kaplan test scores are in the high 70's that is excellent. Kaplan will get you accustom to answering the question styles and when you get to NCLEx even if you dont know the answer your...

  12. 29 applications in and still no job!!!

    Labrynth replied to Trei1972's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    After you move to a state you have 30 days to have your state of residents changed. This means notifying the state in which you intent to practice and your home state. You then are issued a license by...

  13. Self care...

    Labrynth replied to Animal3's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have heard many times "I wish I was a smoker cause they always get their breaks". While this may appear true I believe they use being a smoker as an excuse to take a break even if they do not plan...

  14. The "Why don't you go to Med School" Question

    Labrynth replied to AL1992's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just ask them why they are not a doctor. Unless they

  15. new graduate RN -- terminated after 2 months

    Labrynth replied to cyoucapri's topic in Men in Nursing

    There is not much anyone can tell you without the back story. I will be honest that I was confused regarding your statement about becoming a doctor. How does that comment make you a better nurse? You...

  16. New Manager, needs help to deal with staff

    Labrynth replied to biju27's topic in Nurse Management

    Writing people up is fine and dandy but it does not command respect. It makes people function out of fear and results in lack of creative problem solving, mistakes and constant questions from people...
