  1. what state can i go through to take me nclex

    enuf_already replied to ajjada's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't get why you wouldn't take the remediation to help you pass since it's the same test. If the background issue is the school you attended, I certainly wouldn't want to have to submit all of the...

  2. Intubation necessary?

    enuf_already replied to ScottieDNurse2b's topic in Critical Care

    Way too many variables to be able to determine what happened. I think this would qualify as a case where unless you were there, you wouldn't be able to guess what happened or why. I hope she is doing...

  3. job is getting to me today

    enuf_already replied to joe007's topic in Emergency

    In my years of practice I have found that most policies and procedures were developed primarily because of some unusual occurrence. There is no way another nurse should ever give a controlled...

  4. Faking seizures?

    enuf_already replied to Grodo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she has intractable epilepsy, it won't matter if her levels are therapeutic or not. Unfortunately some people can never obtain seizure freedom in spite of medications, surgeries, or the ketogenic...

  5. New grad in doctors office, making lots of mistakes

    enuf_already replied to Cynnie24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't count those as mistakes! You are still learning. Cut yourself some slack. I've worked at the same job for 9 years and I still forget questions sometimes. Depending on your electronic...

  6. How do I explain to my snobby family why nurses are important and worthy of respect?

    enuf_already replied to Miss Infermiera2b's topic in General Nursing

    Tell your family that you've decided against nursing. You've discovered it's such an unimportant job that the hospital you are going to for your "minor procedure" has done away with their nurses....

  7. Faking seizures?

    enuf_already replied to Grodo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grodo, I really do appreciate your willingness to learn about seizures and epilepsy. You are correct that even two people with the same type of epilepsy may not present exactly alike. A generalized...

  8. Faking seizures?

    enuf_already replied to Grodo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sounds as if in this case, pseudoseizure is being loosely used as a blanket diagnosis for something that clearly isn't epilepsy. What you are describing as laying down and flopping to get drugs is...

  9. Faking seizures?

    enuf_already replied to Grodo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grodo, in my experience, it is rare that someone admits they have pseudoseizures (a.k.a. Conversion disorder). Families often become quite defensive that their child's seizure is "real" and cannot...

  10. Faking seizures?

    enuf_already replied to Grodo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a distinct difference between "faking a seizure" a pseudoseizure, and epilepsy. Faking a seizure is something anyone can do. With a pseudoseizure, a person is not really faking it. A...

  11. What to Do When the Doctor Throws the Nurse Under the Bus by Lying

    enuf_already replied to blackdiamond407's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Two words. Incident report. You had orders and couldn't follow them because of an unusual occurrence that prevented the patient from receiving the prescribed care. Many hospitals also have a...

  12. Finishing program but very hurt and disappointed

    enuf_already replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Moons ago when I graduated, our school gave out awards for such things as "most therapeutic nurse-patient relationship," a "nurse leadership" award, and I think an award related to neuroscience and a...

  13. Verbal Abuse

    enuf_already replied to Katesp91's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally would fill out an incident report. It was an unusual incident resulting in potential harm--if mom was throwing things around. It also sounds as if she caused actual harm by causing you...

  14. The "politics" of tattling.

    enuf_already replied to StealthRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know who you

  15. Rectal Medication

    enuf_already replied to 2bnurse12341234's topic in Patient Medications

    Rectal medication should specifically be avoided if the patient does not have a

  16. Failed medsurg Last Semester. What can I do to improve my chances of success?.

    enuf_already replied to supreme commander's topic in General Students

    You already have several advantages. You know what kind of questions the professor gives. You know what you need to study. You are working which is likely going to help you apply some questions to...

  17. how are men treated at your workplace?

    enuf_already replied to chillbrah's topic in Men in Nursing

    The special treatment males receive at my workplace is there is usually no line for their restroom. Other than that, no difference in pay, no special treatment. Diversity comes in many forms besides...

  18. pt received the wrong blood

    enuf_already replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The OP mentioned being in a hurry as a reason for the error. Did both nurses not go to the patient's bedside and properly ID the patient? Did one sign off and the other went and hung blood on the...

  19. Mock Code Blue Scenerio

    enuf_already replied to mtillman's topic in General Nursing

    Walking or not

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

    enuf_already replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Gotta get that treated stat before it becomes

  21. Experienced RN at age 50; No jobs?

    enuf_already replied to gwlillith's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It could be a number of things. Unless you put something specific on your résumé that stated your age, how would they know? It could be with all your years of experience and certifications they...

  22. Suggestions on possible NP job offer

    enuf_already replied to earthsalt's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you plan to work 8 hour days with no lunch or no break, you get exactly 8 minutes each to see all 300 patients. That's not including any travel time either. If there are no benefits attached to...

  23. Which unit would be good for a RN with ADHD-inattentive to work on?

    enuf_already replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a little confused as to why you would pose such a question if your ADHD--inattentive type is not a factor in choosing a job. If it is well controlled, take that out of the equation and figure out...

  24. Medicaid paid company, but company didn't pay me! ADVICE PLEASE!!!

    enuf_already replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

    From what I know, it is illegal to withhold pay for hours worked. Did you leave the house while you went to lunch? If so, were you gone for an hour? Did you get a copy of your employment contract?...

  25. Hippa violations by loose lips sink there own ships!

    enuf_already replied to DrakeEdwards's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Those were two very long sentences that I had difficulty following. Are you upset about an alleged HIPAA
