  1. Bad clinical day

    neuron replied to dragonhawk's topic in General Students

    Always be careful around these clinical instructors. Even though you are a student, they will expect you to do things as if you were a nurse for 20 years. Backstabbing. Be very

  2. Im scare guys

    neuron replied to Rocio8809's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you haven't passed meds before, best thing to do is review your meds. Metoprolol, Lisinipril, Lasix, Vitamin C (aka Asorbic Acid), Iron (aka Ferrous Sulfate or Ferrous Gluconate)..Aspirin 81, pain...

  3. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    As I've stated, if I was a man stating what I wrote, you wouldn't have made that comment. Men are more valued in the nursing profession, (or I should say 'trusted'). We are paid less because we don't...

  4. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They knew before they got into nursing that they would have to work with women. I would think it is time to get a new job if it so terrible to work with women knowing that nursing is traditionally...

  5. Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    neuron replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really care if I look stupid, I ask them to state their last name if I'm giving a med and if there is a doubt. Sometimes even if you given the patients meds 5 x, they sometimes look like...

  6. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is why women are paid less than men. Because as a whole people at large trust men more than women. Some things men can't be 'trusted', cuz they have more opportunity, but women backstabbing each...

  7. Should I accept a SNF position as a new grad even though this is not the field I want?

    neuron replied to FishBones's topic in Nursing Career

    In TX you would have 1:34, 2 CNA's, three if you are lucky. I believe the ratio's, lack there of are

  8. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    neuron replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone is advising against this. It is the fact that this woman might fail her in clinical, and she is known to fail students on the spot. This is a hostile environment that students...

  9. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    neuron replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    'Got off easy' for a cell phone? This wasn't a medication error. My take on it is that if she is in her final semester, she is not one to have her cell phone going off every 5

  10. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    neuron replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    Nursing school gets more ridiculous every semester. Angry about a 'cell phone' really? There are patients that she so called teaches about that are DYING and she's angry about a cell phone. These...

  11. Going to LPN school Full Time and working

    neuron replied to Ozzie615's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You can't really predict how much you'll work in a certain semester because it depends on what your taking in those semesters. The 2nd and 3rd semester were very busy as was the first. 25 hours...

  12. SNF Patient

    neuron replied to Coleycole's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds like the pt declined on your shift. The sp02, breathing rate increased and lethargy. Are there the same vital signs, 02 in the previous documentation? Maybe the family told them the same thing...

  13. I failed out of nursing school, now what?

    neuron replied to jackieee's topic in General Students

    If your heart wants to go in to nursing I would do that. Good thing about respiratory therapy is there assessments are only 5 minutes (Are you on O2, have you ever been on O2,

  15. Nitroglygerin

    neuron posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Do you give Nitroglycerin without an order? What if the person is experience a severe anginal attack (reflux ruled out)? Surely Nitro isn't on everyone's PRN med list.

  16. Anything else I can do besides bedside nursing?

    neuron posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello everyone, I just graduated an LVN/LPN program and wanted to know if there is anything else I can do besides bedside nursing. I dread having more than I can handle and I don't want to take it out...

  17. Anything else I can do besides bedside nursing?

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wanted to be a nurse because I admired them when I was a volunteer. They carried phones and got 'called' on their shift when needed. I never set out to be a nurse in early adulthood. I admired their...

  18. Anything else I can do besides bedside nursing?

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have lost motivation to be a nurse. The morale where I work is so low. No respect, no anything. They are always 'desperate', and if you say you can't work you're basically given a guilt trip. Being...

  21. Critical timing

    neuron replied to kiana16's topic in Patient Medications

    The patient was 'swelling' so I would probably opt to give it immediately (as prescribed) without the handbook. You wouldn't have a med error if you have right dose/med, right

  22. Lack of Family Support

    neuron replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    YOU make the decisions, not them. It's not like you've become a drug dealer or prostitute, you simply went back to school to become a nurse. What is the big deal. I would quit the job if you have to....

    neuron replied to EdVedder's topic in General Students

    Laptop yes. A high quality one, you don't want to wait on 'loading' documents or pages when you have assignments due. Many of our students got the Littmann brand stethoscope. high quality sound is...
