    Please check me, quick head to toe!

    missmollie replied to kemurphy's topic in General Students

    Looks fine, except for the missing heart sounds. Work head to toe. Only put your stethoscope in your ears once. This is my script: I'm going to listen to your lungs, heart, and bowel. (put on...

    Are private schools worth it? Or should I just wait...

    missmollie replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    OP, I would accept and then wait to see what other colleges offer you a position. You can always decline later if a more affordable school offers you a position in their program. I have to pay...

    missmollie replied to ns808's topic in General Students

    Failed my first exam

    missmollie replied to futurenurse0989's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's a test, on paper. Nothing to cry about, and your grade is recoverable. Figure out where your weakness is, and go from there. It's paper. Please don't cry over

    I'm too depressed

    missmollie replied to Leslie terrones's topic in General Students

    Nursing school takes a lot of time, and from your post it's obvious you have a LOT on your plate. Perhaps now is not the time, but then again, you've got a plan and that's great. Right now you have...

    missmollie posted a topic in General Nursing

    missmollie replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that I hate calling doctors. I learned that a few weeks ago, but I re-learned that this week. If I really like the personality of a patient, or I feel they just need a basic comfort, I...

    Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    missmollie replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    I completely expected your hair to be a manic panic type of color. Here's how to judge if you need your hair color changed: Does it require maintenance that requires money? Yes? Change it. No?...

    8/22 What I learned this week....

    missmollie replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that when a doctor talks back to you in a sarcastic manner, calmly stating the facts makes him change his tune real quick. This week I earned the respect of that doctor, and the next...

    missmollie replied to AnthoScott's topic in General Students

    While in my final semester of nursing school, I gave a patients two pills that should've been halved. Giving her the whole pill was her normal dose, the same dose I had given the night before, but...

    missmollie replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient has a colostomy bag, eating a lot of leafy green vegetables will mask the smell of the feces. The chlorophyll from the plants emits a more pleasant odor when broken down in the body....

    No RN License # But Passed NCLEX

    missmollie replied to nursejackie2015's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The PVT trick doesn't work anymore and it's not confirmatory. If you paid the 7.95 for quick results and it said pass, realize that is your "unofficial" result. There could be a backup in the system...

    Failed NCLEX, should I become a CNA?

    missmollie replied to stephjane's topic in General Nursing

    You state that you continue to fail your NCLEX exam, so I wonder how many times you have taken it. How did you study before this recent exam? Was it all day, or just a few hours a day? If it was...
