  1. physics

    I took it 40 years ago in high school. Hated it then. Don't use it
  2. Will green skin hurt my career?

    As long as you claim your nationality as a descendent of the frog people, you should be fine. Hair color at my workplace must be natural, but I don't know the historical natural hair color of the frog...
  3. I must vent...

    Just think of it this way, if you hadn't known what you were doing, the patient wouldn't be able to tell anyone the truth. He'd be dead 😉. Don't let it get under your skin. Patients'...
  4. What can I afford as a beginning independent nurse?

    I would suggest you have a set amount of money direct deposited into either a credit union or savings account from your check. Do not make this money easily accessible and do not take anything out of...
  5. Looking for a long lasting watch

    I second the Casio G shock. I bought cheap Timex watches every year for years and finally got a G shock for my birthday. They come in male, female, and unisex styles in a variety of colors and prices....
  6. English (Career) Assignment

    She can pretend she lives in a mansion complete with a maid, chef, and chauffeur since the OP said she was pretending. I can pretend too. I'm Peter Pann. I'd like to pretend to live and work in...
  7. Bucky, let's not forget equality: Sugar.
  8. RN-BSN Online, 12 mos. w/o prior working experience

    The 12 month completion is going to be dependent on how many credits transfer, how many you need, and how many classes you take at the same time. Most of the RN-BSN programs want you to be currently...
  9. Dealing with pediatric patients

    Agree with everything RNsarahj had to say, especially about utilizing child life if you have them available. I also believe in being honest with kids. If something, like a shot, is going to hurt, I...
  10. CCRN best review materials

    Copyrighted material is not allowed to be copied but it appears you are in luck. If you do a search, you can find the material available for purchase on CD for your own
  11. Experience for Pediatric Hospital Nurse

    You are quite welcome. I couldn't agree more about the wonders of working with kids. They are so resilient. If you are having a bad day, take a walk through a peds hospital and it will make you put...
  12. HELP! Prohibited from practicing

    Were you actually arrested? Did you report this when you applied for you license or did the BON find out otherwise? The important thing to know is whether traffic violations/arrests are reportable to...
  13. Breathing pattern case studies

    Then tell us what you think and your rationale. Help us to help you. I wasn't trying to be insensitive in my earlier post. We have a lot of first time posters who request homework "help" aka asking...
  14. unsafe new nurse

    Take a deep breath. Don't flush your career down the toilet because of a mistake. Did your preceptor actually get stuck? Rule #1 from now on (and I bet you will never forget) dispose of all sharps...
  15. Experience for Pediatric Hospital Nurse

    Pediatric hospitals, like many other hospitals, seem to lean towards BSN education. Many also love certified nurses, specifically the CPN (especially true if they are Magnet facilities). I think...
  16. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    Get better Esme! You are
  17. Breathing pattern case studies

    Couldn't possibly be! First post and we know no one ever asks us to do homework. I think OP is asking how to count. (Put in order 1-6). I'll take a stab. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6! Someone please check my...
  18. Being let go during orientation

    Sorry to hear about your situation. Do you use electronic charting in your current job? Can you create smart phrases so you are able to basically hit a few keys and type in negative assessments,...
  19. Board of nursing discipline

    If each state's BON stalked nurses the way the OP claims, one would think that those of us with lengthy careers would know hundreds of nurses who have been in trouble with the BON. I have worked for...
  20. National Council of State Board of Nursing. CPR=a breakdown of where the candidate performed in each area of the test so they know where to focus next time and how close they came to passing. OP,...
  21. Especially your first post (that it appears none of us
  22. Telling the truth on a peer evaluation for a group project?

    That depends. No one likes confrontation yet if you do nothing chances are your group member will continue to do nothing. Do you have to work with this person again? Do you want to truthfully rate...
  23. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    Accusations stemming from boundaries violations. If any of these patients you are taking home accuse you of anything inappropriate (whether true or not) you could find yourself in a heap of trouble....
  24. There, there, it will be okay. You can do this! Hang in there. You really can get this done but you are not in the situation to see this because you are too overwhelmed. Take a deep breath. Step back...
  25. Unfrickenbelievable!

    Medicaid is state funded so while one state may not have a big penalty, another state could impose sentencing on the nurse and parent that could be rather ugly. The nurse's BON will likely do...
