    Failed NCLEX multiple times

    chadash replied to Brickman's topic in General Nursing

    I have always wondered about standardized testing in general as an indicator of someones ability to perform certain task. Test taking seems to be a animal of its own breed: personally, I test well,...

    Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    chadash replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Found this study on Nurse Aide Turnover from the Florida department of Elder affairs. In their findings they stated that job "stayers" were more likely OLDER African American women....while leaver's...

    That ain't my resident! I am dumbfounded...

    chadash replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    As usual, what you have clearly stated is absolutely true. But, I have seen what Brad RN student is describing here. LTC can be a real snake pitt. This is not a knock on the nurses or the NAs out...

    Plantar Facitis-Heel Pain, help!

    chadash replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Dorsiflexion. Always, before you stand up, especially when you have just sat for a break or lunch. The tendon gets tighter when you are walking, remains tight when you sit and go into a foot drop,...

    chadash replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    ok, I admit, I am from another generation. Actually, my grandma, a turn of the century girl, who saw it all, had more influence on me than my contemporaries. I just dont get this "me" generation...

    Wonderful Nurse, stuck in a rut!

    chadash replied to Jupiter Crash's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to see a nurse with these characteristics leave nursing. I think that there must be some sane, balanced way to deal with this. If she could take a leave of absence: a true sabbatical to assess...

    Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    chadash replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been thinking about it, and I wonder if I havent been using agism as an excuse. I might just not be really that good at what I do. I guess there is just a time to give up on it. Just...

    Med Errors

    chadash replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Just remember that the larger denominator is a smaller amount. for instance, 1/4 is a smaller amount than 1/2 and just a note: Reading these posts is very humbling. I can't imagine how stressed you...

    ever been accused of abuse?

    chadash replied to cuz_i_can's topic in General Nursing

    This is absolutely devastating. Why do they slander a nurse just to fire her? This is defamation of character. I am so sorry this has happened to you all. I can't even imagine how bad it would make...

    What to do when state comes in?

    chadash replied to sweetnurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Bariatric woes

    chadash replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    With the bariatric pts I have assisted, I have found it helps to give them the sense that they are in control as much as possible. The bariatric person feels literally trapped in their own bodies, has...

    need help with bedside care

    chadash replied to dayshiftnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One thing about turning patients alone. Always use a turning pad. You can flip two tons with practice :). First pull the pt towards you and align the body, then us the pad to gently roll them on their...

    chadash replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! My name is Chadash, and I am a allnursaholic. Really, allnurses has been a source of (can I say this) healing....maybe catharsis.....but it has really helped me get over NOT becoming a nurse!...
