    New RN Grad Interview

    missmollie replied to nurse4211's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's a seizure, not a code. Unless it is status epilepticus it's not an emergency. Protect the airway, watch the time, see if there are any prn's available and give them when the criteria is met....

    HELP!! NEW nurse feel like Im getting eaten by sharks

    missmollie replied to newbie9909's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're right to question the preceptor when you're not sure what to do in the situation. You're a new nurse, you don't know. You might try to approach it differently, rather than ask her what to do,...

    Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

    missmollie replied to MaiBee's topic in General Nursing

    I was a stay-at-home mom prior to going to nursing school. Our story is similar. Husband found a job with excellent pay and great benefits, but it was 5 hours away from where we lived then. 9 months...

    If You Could Have Any Skill to Deal with Difficult People -- What Would It Be?

    missmollie replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never thought of saying stating that this is something out of the ordinary, when I sit down to speak with someone. It just conflicts with what I want to project. I'll give it a try and let you...

    missmollie replied to crazy4psych's topic in General Nursing

    What about bedside nursing are you worried about? If you're compassionate, you'll find a way to be compassionate during a brief change, or peri care, or even sticking a patient. I'm just curious. I...

    Question to Catholic nurses

    missmollie replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    I try to chew and swallow before I take a sip of the blood of Christ (amen). I have found, however, that the church loves to use sweet red wine instead of a dry red wine, and if I just follow my 9...

    If You Could Have Any Skill to Deal with Difficult People -- What Would It Be?

    missmollie replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm usually not in the room with another nurse. The best I do: I will listen to the patient/family/friends talk about their experiences, and when I leave I make a mental note to ask them to continue...

    If You Could Have Any Skill to Deal with Difficult People -- What Would It Be?

    missmollie replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd like to be able to effectively shut down nonproductive conversation in a room so I can move on to my next patient, but do it in a way that isn't abrupt or hurtful to the family/patient. Right...

    BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    missmollie replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Being a pre-med is so overated

    missmollie replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about it. You can roll your eyes after you ask the doctor for lasix and a neb, and laugh when after 20 minutes of talking to your patient...he orders lasix and a neb. Doctor's are...

    missmollie replied to roscdiggity's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We all go through this, and I just had this conversation at work. "I felt sick", "I felt like an imposter", "I was depressed for two days", and "after the test I cried" were some common answers. Not...

    missmollie replied to awsumsaus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Usually I bathe them and then move on. You were at school at the time, so I can see how that would be hard to do. In the real world...bathe and tag, and move
