  2. Failing nclex 6 times

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are so right. Just because it takes multiple times to pass NCLEX does not mean she won't make an excellent nurse when she does, might I add. And no I am not "sugar coating" or being unrealistic I...

  4. New nurse trying to be better

    %D#2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I'm a work in progress. Was a CNA and PCT for almost 7 years before I became a nurse. Been working as a nurse for 8 months now. First my issue was with delegating. I wanted to help the CNAs with...

  5. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    %D#2 replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also can I add.. We should be thinking more about our or safety than our license and our own asses. And by doing so our asses will have nothing to worry

  6. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    %D#2 replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    With all due respect its one thing to falsify a post- pain level or something that won't kill a patient (still haven't done it though) but it's another thing to falsify vital signs. As I stated before...

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!! Today was so hard. I walked into the day nurse pissed as hell, had a hard day, phone ringing non stop. Foley pulled out, another pt had chest pain. I needed to read that. Thanks

  8. New nurse trying to be better

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes 50 but most of them are not very complicated cases.. Not like a hospital type of patient. I work in aLtc. It's still a lot though. My day is literally consumed with medpass for 90% if the shift...

  9. Why are some people on here so rude?

    %D#2 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hard to tell what people's intentions are when it's through the Internet, through typing, with no tone of voice. Sometimes people aren't trying to be rude but it can be interpreted that way. I'm...

  10. Failing nclex 6 times

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    [quote=AceOfHearts That's a very valid point. In my experience the anxiety subsided with experience. I'm still a new nurse but I handle emergencies quite well, but I had bad test anxiety despite...

  11. for people who have failed nclex

    %D#2 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed my NCLEX on my first try but that doesn't make me a better nurse than someone who did not. Here's why... nclex exam style questions are not just testing your nursing knowledge but they are...

  12. for people who have failed nclex

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I use the "ADPIE" method and process of elimination. Assess, diagnose, plan, intervene, evaluate. I start off by really reading into what the question is asking, then I go from there. Eliminate any...

    %D#2 replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  14. Failing nclex 6 times

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am being realistic. If the language barrier is the problem, then that's not a reason to give up its a reason to learn English better. That's what a lot of my foreign classmates did and they are...

  15. Failing nclex 6 times

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I understand that wanting something doesn't mean you can or should have it. But the OP has stated that she has no issues with the content.. That she has studied and worked hard. And the language...

  16. Failing nclex 6 times

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If someone doesn't know the material that is one thing, but I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about people who study, put lots of effort in, retain lots of information, and then their anxiety...

    %D#2 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wrote this for you and others struggling. Please don't give up! Past failures can set one up to fail again due to low confidence, and it ca. Become a vicious cycle. I think if you know you were...

  18. sitting with drug seekers.

    %D#2 replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree that nurses get held up and no one should be called lazy or scumbag if pain meds are late for legit reason. I also agree it's healthy to express frustration (here or in private) when you are...

  19. LTC- nurse to pt ratio

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know if this is normal but it seems more safe than my ratio. I have 10 skilled patient in subacute with IVS, G tubes, suprapubics and foleys, ostomies, fairly new post ops with all sorts of...

  20. How do I deal with "needy" nurses

    %D#2 replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Proper delegation is a necessary and no ones arguing that. But when one delegates everything in the CNAs scope of practice when they are NOT busy and the CNA IS BUSY.. In my opinion that is wrong. We...

  22. LPN or BSN

    %D#2 replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    I don't regret becoming an Lpn as I love the bedside care and the pay is actually decent where I live. I was beginning an RN program and got very sick. I needed money and health insurance fast. So I...

    %D#2 replied to PianoTiles's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Also wanna add.. Having an unless and chronic pain, will make you more compassionate and knowledgable with your patients who go through it too. You'll know it first

    I have systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome and was just diagnosed with fibro. Yeah I know. It's a lot! But I do okay. I have to take medication for pain (not opiates!) but I...

  25. How do I deal with "needy" nurses

    %D#2 replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP wasn't complaining about helping nurses. There's a difference between being treated like a CNA and being treated like a slave. Again, I was a CNA/PCT for 6 years before I became a nurse and I...
