    Failed pharmacology

    Orion81RN replied to anmomma16's topic in General Students

    For me it would depend on the reason why you didn't pass. If you feel you need to take it by itself to focus solely on one subject, then do that. It's a hassle, but in the long run, you'll learn it...

    Advice on how to word resume

    Orion81RN replied to Wonton's topic in General Nursing

    State that directly in your resume. Do it first in your cover letter. I don't think it would be a problem. Good

    I'd edit out your email. This is only as anonymous as we make

    verifying telephone orders!

    Orion81RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    What are they expecting the other nurse to check? The other nurse didn't listen to the order. And is this nurse expected to co-sign? This is ridiculous. "Ain't nobody got time for that." And IF the...

    I was fired as a CNA

    Orion81RN replied to Studentnurse2020's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, that family must be coming at them hard about something. It looks like you're the one your work place targeted so they could cover their butts and say something was

    Disappointed by colleague

    Orion81RN replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    I still think OP should have called right away, but on another note....DOCTORS NEED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER! I personally think the surgeon should have called the internest herself. Nursing assessment...

    Does anyone ever get tired of people thinking Nursing is easy?

    That depends on what one constitutes

    Critical question, please advise ASAP

    Orion81RN replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, being sued is a better example in my answer. Sorry but the "knock it off comment" from PP kind of ticked me off thinking of the situations I have been forced to be in. And I say forced because I...

    Critical question, please advise ASAP

    Orion81RN replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Then you clearly have not worked in a facility such as OP and I and many others have. I had to quit without notice because the disasters of staffing happened SO quickly. There was no time for notice....

    Surgeon for an instructor

    Orion81RN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Never had a surgeon teach a course, but when a classmate and I viewed a C-section the surgeon asked us "tough" questions throughout the procedure. He was impressed and said we represented our school...

    is this bullying?

    Orion81RN replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. Oh, and OP. Those talking about you are talking about each other as well. They are laughing and smiling together and then turning around talking about THAT person. I kept my head down in...

    List the most frivolous complaints you've received

    Orion81RN replied to gardenpartyy's topic in Private Duty

    I called the doctor's office to obtain the order for the increase in a seizure med (pt was having back to back seizures all day.) Mom had already talked to the doctor moments before and gotten the...

    Disappointed by colleague

    Orion81RN replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect your team leader took a bit of an ego hit when you, the new person, finally did call the doctor, and the doctor showed up with orders. (Despite said leader's proclamations that nothing would...

    Orion81RN replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    100% spot on. I hope OP really listens to

    is this bullying?

    Orion81RN replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    The teacher NEVER should have told her the class doesn't like her. She should simply have said, "I see you have many questions in class. In order to keep the flow of the class going and to fully...

    is this bullying?

    Orion81RN replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Gossipping behind her back and letting the instructor in on it, to me, is bully

    Nursing Drug App

    Orion81RN replied to Orion81RN's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Thanks! I have medscape. I'll check out the other one. Mainly I'm looking for drugs in categories of body systems to study a category at a time. Doesn't need to be flashcard, that was just how pharm...

    Nursing Drug App

    Orion81RN posted a topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Good morning, fellow nurses. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good nursing drug app for Android. I used to have flash cards that separated the drugs into category by body systems. For example,...

    Hopefully this helps. . . struggling with getting past this failure

    Orion81RN replied to strugglingRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Counseling, and finding the RIGHT counselor for me, has done WONDERS for my self confidence. I would take this suggestion very seriously from others and myself. This manager has beat you down, and NO...

    Give LTC a chance, or get out now?

    Orion81RN replied to mc-escher's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not sure where in Illinois you are, but could you PM me regarding this facility? It actually sounds like something I'd be highly interested in. I've done post-acute short stay rehab, regular LTC/SNF...

    new nurse advice. screwed up?

    Orion81RN replied to introuble7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "My charge nurse said she'll be ok." No, that's your license and the patient's life. The pt very clearly stated her baseline and her own concerns. Your assessment was spot on. However, yes you should...
