  1. What are the top 5 medications YOU administer daily?

    javaRx replied to northmississippi's topic in Patient Medications

    Atorvastatin, metoprolol, heparin, lisinopril,

  2. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    javaRx replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would just say brace yourself for the next shift... And the next few months. And learn from the experience. It's all you can do at this

  3. Time Management Concerns

    javaRx replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    It's tough when you have patients that need toileted, requests for pillows, can I have a ginger ale, can I have a Tylenol, etc. sometimes it's rough if you peek down the hall and there are no aides...

  4. Adenosine patient

    javaRx replied to blacknurse30's topic in Emergency

    I agree with emtpbill. Sometimes we can give a verbal warning on what it may feel like and what to expect (i.e. Out of body experience/painful and you might see a flatline for a few seconds). On...

  5. Do you still have to do dosages math by hand as an RN now?

    javaRx replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    I use it probably about every other shift. The other day I had to sign off that the cardiac drip was correct based on their weight, so we had to run through the whole equation. The other day I was...

  6. HF symptom assessment

    javaRx replied to sharifi9879's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why don't you share your opinion first? Or is this homework

  7. i think I failed the nclex shut off at 76

    javaRx replied to Jamielynn874_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wrote my response before reading the others. Missind33 we think alike! I feel like my post is a copy of

  8. i think I failed the nclex shut off at 76

    javaRx replied to Jamielynn874_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Stay positive. I walked out of the building crying bc I thought I failed. I had 23 SATA. Told my whole family I failed when I got home as well. I passed. There are countless stories of self...

  9. New grad orientation

    javaRx posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know as a new grad I combed the posts about new grad orientation as I nervously waited for my first day on the unit. I worried about all the skills I didn't practice in school, all the computer...

  10. New grad orientation

    javaRx replied to javaRx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't mind the cursing like a sailor- I appreciate that she trusts me enough to give me the unfiltered version of herself. On the other hand, I understand how that may not be a quality that you...

  11. Kent ABSN UH-Cohort 2015

    javaRx replied to sandy022's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So, technically they will tell you it must have Kent state logo, blah blah. The cargo ones seem to look a bit too different than the ones we were "required" to wear. If the pants were half decent, I...

  12. Kent ABSN UH-Cohort 2015

    javaRx replied to sandy022's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If I could do it over, I would buy the top only and get your own white pants that are comfortable (theirs are awful.). And they say white shoes but by second semester everyone was wearing colorful...

  13. Kent ABSN UH-Cohort 2015

    javaRx replied to sandy022's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, you can work on the opposite weekend day if you don't have Clinicals (towards the middle to end anyways). Parking was free and as close as you can get. UH and Kent didn't feel it was safe to...

  14. Kent ABSN UH-Cohort 2015

    javaRx replied to sandy022's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Clinicals were 100% weekends only. There will be some trips to Kent, maybe a few (3 maybe ?) every 7 weeks. The majority of the time, you will be driving to Cleveland. The program included Sundays...

  15. Kent ABSN UH-Cohort 2015

    javaRx replied to sandy022's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just graduated from that cohort. With those stats and experience, they'll love you. A 3.5 is more than enough. Good

  16. working full time while doing part time accelerated bsn program

    javaRx replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    We used it in fundamentals and possibly interventions. After that they use black and hawk med surg book, and a craven and hirnle med surg book. To be honest though- you can save money on books by...

  17. working full time while doing part time accelerated bsn program

    javaRx replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    For the craven book, I had the seventh edition. I looked at my syllabus for that class and here are the chapters you need: 5, 40, 11, 16. Then 10 through 15, then chapter 6, 7, 4, ,42, 8, 2, 3,...

  18. working full time while doing part time accelerated bsn program

    javaRx replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    I'm so confused by the last post. I didn't see anything about having to do a semester over. I feel like I'm missing something there. Anyway, reading the book will never be a waste of time. You'll...

  19. working full time while doing part time accelerated bsn program

    javaRx replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    No, I'm not from Cleveland. I live near kent and I carpool with a another girl in our cohort on the weekends. I took all my pre-reqs at Kent. I took all the classes ahead of time and it has saved...

  20. working full time while doing part time accelerated bsn program

    javaRx replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    I am in the Kent UH program that has class/clinicals on fri, sat, sun. While it isn't easy working full time and doing an accelerated nursing program, the majority of my class finds a way to make it...
