  1. What nursing task do you loathe???

    ToyaB replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, yes! I had a woman who had just delivered using the bed pan and when I went to get the thing out, I came so close to being splashed with bloody urine that I yelped! I always have trouble with...

  2. What nursing task do you loathe???

    ToyaB replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    I hate feet flakes! Oh and chunky vomit! Aaaahhhh! I also hate watching other people put in IVs where they can't get the vein and the catheter is sliding in and out... in and out... I swear I get...

  3. This week, I learned (7/18).....

    ToyaB replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that after you take and pass the NCLEX you have to re-learn how to have a life. I also learned that putting in applications is

  4. Test on July 15 2015 HELP

    ToyaB replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I also passed! Now onto the tedious applications!

  5. Test on July 15 2015 HELP

    ToyaB replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my test today too. I got so many SATAs that I had to laugh. I could not even believe it. I'm not even exaggerating half of my test was SATA. All of the other questions seemed so foreign. Like,...

  6. It's not my job to pray with you.

    ToyaB replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    These types of post always make me feel sad for humanity. We, as nurses, have chosen a career in which we are charged with helping people of various cultural backgorunds. If you don't believe in God,...

  7. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    ToyaB replied to lystacy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well if the clog fits:sarcastic:... In any case, I'm not saying that the OP does not have a problem testing, but how some of you managed to make the leap to the OP having a lack of knowledge of basic...

  8. I'm terrified

    ToyaB replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on getting in! The best thing you can do for yourself at this point is get organized with family life and work. To prepare for school, I would just brush up on A&P. Go over the...

  9. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    ToyaB replied to lystacy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You took the words right out of my mouth! The OP asked for help, not for anyone to jump all over her confidence with both freaking feet! She may be an excellent nurse. She may be a horrible tester....

  10. Most appropriate degree to work as an NP

    ToyaB replied to Annath's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm happy to see that I'm not the only person considering getting both. The way the program I'm planning to attend works is that you can either start with the ACNP or the FNP and it would take an...

  11. To tell or not to tell!

    ToyaB replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree the OP has to choose her battles, but the reason you wear that gown in a precautions patient's room is not just to protect yourself, but to protect every other patient that you come into...

  12. My Nursing Future

    ToyaB replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Nursing Career

    I have 2 kids- 8 and 4- and I go to school and work. IT IS ROUGH! Luckily, I have support and also a 24/7 daycare. I make sure that my kids see my face everyday and we spend time together doing family...

  13. If one is treated for MRSA, are they still contagious?

    ToyaB replied to beachmom's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually a good question. From what I understand (or at least what I see in the system I work in) a patient goes on contact precautions if they have EVER tested positive for MRSA wether or not...

  14. Does Everyone Actually Hate Nurses?

    ToyaB replied to Casha9's topic in General Nursing

    It could be that... or it could be that they're sipping a little something called HATERADE. Not everyone has it in them to be a nurse, but if you do, go for it! Your options are endless in this field...

  15. Came across this gem...

    ToyaB replied to MECO28's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was just talking about this yesterday- how nothing can stunt my appetite anymore. I was telling someone the despite cleaning up a guy who did a big smelly poo- I could not stop considering my...

    I absolutely agree and I am a believer. It's not the right image when your God-Bless-Yous sound like Go-Screw-Yourself. Neither God nor people are

    I'd offer to drive her to her first day of nursing school, but I was afraid she ruin my seats with all of that

    ToyaB replied to SU2013's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not to throw in my two cents- but this site has some of the best blog fights ever and all over the most ridiculous stuff! And you never know by the topic what you're getting into. I just always happen...

  21. Feeling like a real idiot

    ToyaB replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know you better stop all of that quitter talk. Getting this far means that you've got what it takes to a nurse. It's not an eay feat to even get to the NCLEX. It's ok to be embarrassed about it!...

    ToyaB replied to johwen93's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The answer is A. HIV is not a bacterial infection. It's a viral one, so I would go with A. You primary goal would be to prevent infection, but a antibiotic wouldn't do it. This baby is automatically...

    ToyaB replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    This comment was classic! All FOUR feet, though?! I will have to borrow that one. But in any case OP, it was very rude of you to respond to JustBeachy that way. Her advice is solid. Just don't bring...
