    Difficult Orientee

    Glycerine82 replied to ejnjj143's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What about talking to her before hand? I know for me I need a lot more information when in a new situation than I am usually given. Maybe if you let her know that you need her to do xyz today or try...

    How do you do well in nursing school and keep your spouse happy?

    Glycerine82 replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Students

    Your husband needs to be on board with this. He will need to help out with the kids and dinner and housework. I just finished my first semester and I can't even begin to tell you the sheer volume of...

    Keys to Success for Nursing Students With Disabilities

    Glycerine82 replied to Donna Maheady's topic in General Students

    Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

    Glycerine82 replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in General Students

    If I could write a letter to my classmates based on what I have heard them talk about and say over the last 8 weeks, this is what it would say, maybe someone will read it and choose a different route,...

    Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Glycerine82 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Patients wants a back rub

    Glycerine82 replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think touch is so important. I had a patient when I worked LTC who had the worst leg cramps. If I had extra time I would rub her feet and legs with lotion and she was always so grateful and slept...

    They aren't going to care as much about your F's in 2011, they will look at how you do in the LPN program and what your professors have to say about

    Glycerine82 replied to rafiki121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not based on that particular question. It's based on the trend. So, as an example lets just say that the computer shut off after 100 questions because it didn't have enough information after 75...

    PREREQUISITES

    Glycerine82 replied to msmisha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The more classes you have done and out of the way before nursing school, the easier it will be for you. You just have to decide if you would rather take an extra year to start school and have a...
