    SaderNurse05 replied to loconno2's topic in General Nursing

    I love this site because it is nice to know I am not the only one! I HATE working 3 12 hour days straight (more like 3 14 hour days to be honest). When I get home I cannot feel my feet for about 2...

    SaderNurse05 replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    Like everything else in nursing, practice is the best way to learn this skill. When I started on a telemetry unit I was worried because up until then I found the dorsalis pedis easily on about 50% of...

  7. In training and confused about daily duties

    SaderNurse05 replied to cenote's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I bet when JCAHO comes they have a real nice policy written up that is very formal about what your job duties and requirements are. I think you had a sourpuss (burned out? envious?) preceptor. If you...

    The way our program was set in the last semester there is one class with a certain professor whose tests were up to 40% essay questions. After 3 semsters of learning to take NCLEX type tests we...

  9. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    SaderNurse05 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I took mine wednesday... it cut off at 75 but I really will not be suprised if I fail. I did a Kaplan course, Saunders and a review at school, but those questions made me feel stupid. I am checking...

  13. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

  19. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    SaderNurse05 replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    It is good that you realize the problem is with them, not you. Pull out your nurse practice act for your state (or go to the web if it is there) and there should be a part that outlines what new grads...

    I have been on Lexapro for about 18 months and love it. For me it takes the edge off of depression and anxiety. I imagine that in 40 years they will be able to do a blood test to identify what...
