  1. How do you think you'd fair?

    tytkhat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi AN!! This is really intended for the COB club, but anyone can chime in... I came across some review material from back in the day when the NCLEX was still a paper/pencil, 2 day testing deal. Just...

  2. Liking members at AN

    tytkhat replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I would see something like this soon. For any travel related inquiry I can count on NEDRN to give his expert advice, I love anything written by TheCommuter, ESME, Grntea, and Ruby Vee, because...

  3. Unsupportive spouse?

    tytkhat replied to spierre's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OP, your situation is not uncommon. I highlighted going back to school with dreams and aspirations to further my learning and build my family. I had to do this constantly, not only to stay on task,...

  4. NURSYS in IL?...Finally!!

    tytkhat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, everyone! I recently noticed that IL has got on board with the NURSYS system. I have no idea when it happened, looked like just a few months ago I checked and that was not the case. I entered...

  5. NURSYS in IL?...Finally!!

    tytkhat replied to tytkhat's topic in General Nursing

    No, but I wish it would happen soon. I'm sure the state is resistant because of changes in revenue. It's always about the $$$. These fees are nuts and add up quickly,

  6. can I do it?

    tytkhat replied to manda90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a future daughter in law taking prereq. for the nursing program at the local college. We recently had a conversation where she expressed doubt, fear, anxiety, etc. and needed to vent and get...

  7. Addressing patients by their first name...

    tytkhat posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ...I was being shown the run down in the ER, and when the nurse with me came across our patient, a lovely 88 yo, she addressed her by her first name. I was mortified! I grew up addressing my elders as...

  8. Addressing patients by their first name...

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

    I thank all of you for your replies. I think I will go in with Mr. Bob and Ms. Jane if the person is older than me. Otherwise, me using the first name is fine. Esme12, I completely understand about...

  9. BSN from 4 year program required

    tytkhat replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    smartnurse1982, how would it be known how many tries it took one to pass the NCLEX? I have never seen that asked on an

  10. Do you think this is too much?

    tytkhat replied to carys's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I agree with pp, it depends on what you've got going on in other areas. When I took my math classes, they were with a full course load. However, realizing that it was a weak area for me, I attended...

  11. Denied a job, what would you do?

    tytkhat replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm inclined to think you are already overqualified for this position and once you are finished with the present goal, you would seek a position more in line with the education you have. I am sure...

  12. Don't want a full time job, but wait..,

    tytkhat replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    Freedom and flexibility VS responsibility (24/7) and accountability, plus 15K. For some of us the choice would be cut and dry, but for you, a real evaluation of where you want to get out of the next...

  13. Your Favorite Part

    tytkhat replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I still recall fond memories of working in a NH as a CNA. We worked hard as a team and those residents would shine like new pennies after bath, hair, nails, and skin care. There were few episodes of...

  14. "It's Not That Special --

    tytkhat replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ruby Vee, I am familiar with the way you respond to posts. I agree with you. You are forward yet informative. I have always thought that we as nurses can offer advice, solutions and respectful...

  15. LPN looking to travel with CNA friend is this idea smart???

    tytkhat replied to Ultraposh's topic in Travel

    OP, I am having some difficulty following your post... Who is the CNA or LPN here? What background does your friend have? Is this an already set travel deal? It sounds great in a perfect world, but...

  16. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

    tytkhat replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP. perhaps you can alert an accreditation entity such as JACHO. Most importantly, get out

  17. RN's what was your occupation while in nursing school?

    tytkhat replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Out of high school I became a full time CNA, made 4.25/hr at a NH. Went into the PN program, don't remember how much that cost to go, but after graduating I stayed on at the NH for a bit of...

  18. Hospital Administrator

    tytkhat replied to Arichter's topic in Nursing Career

    tytkhat posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    tytkhat replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats Shazzy!! Like u, when I took my exam, it cut off @ 75. After the initial shock passed, and I gathered my belongings, I tried to think of just ONE of the questions along with the choices and...

  21. Assaulted by patient... VENT

    tytkhat replied to CeeKayRN's topic in Emergency

    That is awful that u were assaulted!! It makes caring for intoxicated clients a personal risk, esp. when they start to escalate. While working in psych, I had a young girl attack me without cause. I...

  22. Slow Codes

    tytkhat replied to karenna's topic in General Nursing

    I remember my second year as an LPN on a med surg floor, we had a client in his mid 90s that coded. There were not enough RNs and so I as called to do compressions. Well, needless to say I was...

  24. Jcaho

    tytkhat replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with June55Baby totally. And, if you had a great preceptor that did things the 'right' way (meaning by policy), you should have no problem other than the occasional butterflies that come when...
