  1. What is the politically correct term for "nurse"?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DanielCA's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  2. Lexapro: Do you have any experience?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

    They usually start you on the lowest dosage to see how you're tolerating it. I personally know people who had it very similar to you. The fear and anxiety is quite debilitating but it's hard to...

  3. Atrial Fibrillation Increase...

    RescueNinjaKy replied to awire's topic in Cardiac

    When I hear a fib, I think stroke. Did the doctor mention anything about

  4. Yesterday

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Vtachy1's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I believe that there is a higher power, how involved that power is in everybody's life, I have no clue. What or who or even how many, I have no clue either. I would compare it to aliens, ghosts, big...

  5. Yesterday

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Vtachy1's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I mean I'm agnostic, but basically I would just like you to treat me as you would any other human being. My religion is mine alone, I will not treat you any different because of what I believe or what...

  6. Frustrated Pre Nursing student!!!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ShanaeD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is your choice but it is now just about 2015. Graduating and becoming a nurse in 2017/18, is normal. Nursing is difficult and it requires time, rushing and trying to finish in one years time is...

  7. Physiology in TEAS V

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Honestly the teas exam was like high school difficulty. Most of the science questions and math questions were on topics that I learned in high school. If you find that you can still remember them...

  8. What is the politically correct term for "nurse"?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DanielCA's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see no problem with nurse, although the ninja title is quite enticing. Regardless of gender, you would still perform the same role with the difference in whether you're a lpn, rn, or np. So the...

  9. Can Someone Help - Psychiatric Technician Student

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ShezaBeauty's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In your opening post, you stated that you are psychiatric nursing student. A psychiatric technician student is not a nursing student so I suppose I was on the money when I decided your post raised...

  10. Can Someone Help - Psychiatric Technician Student

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ShezaBeauty's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What in the world is a psychiatric nursing student? Do you mean you're a nursing student with a rotation in psych right now? I've never heard of a nursing school that specializes other than having...

  11. Reflection of accepting a job offer for North Dakota

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DatMurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations! I'm planning to apply to the telemetry unit at st alexius too, but I have to pass my last semester first

  12. Undecided male nursing student

    RescueNinjaKy replied to djk883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nursing should never be a back up plan, you do it like that and the odds are you're going to regret it. And contrary to belief, nurses aren't failed doctors. I don't think it was your intention but...

  13. Question on reacting to tachycardic afib

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DatMurse's topic in Cardiac

    Just wanted to say that this is the type of all nurses posts that I really love to read, when nurses collaborate to further education. Not gonna lie, was getting tired of all the less than...

  14. ANA petitions Feds (educ. funding) for 1.1 million more RN's within 8 yrs.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Guttercat's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't find it ridiculous to fund new grad residency programs. It addresses the difficulty of finding a job for new grads due to experience, and satisfies the ana's supposed nursing shortage as it...

  15. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    Ok I'm going to tell you some realities of nursing school, please do not interpret this as being offensive as I don't mean to be. First and foremost, there is a difference between what you expect and...

  16. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    RescueNinjaKy replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    And I will say that do not listen to those who say nursing is a bad career. The only thing I agree with that poster is to do your research. Make sure nursing is what you want to do and that you know...

  17. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    RescueNinjaKy replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There isn't much difference but it's there. You do the same job but maybe more lifting and turning patients, which I don't mind. Other than that you are expected to perform the same tasks as any rn,...

  18. IV question

    RescueNinjaKy replied to dannygirl04's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you're worried about air embolism, I don't think it can happen like that, if I read your post correctly. We prime prime the line to not actively instill air embolism (the pockets of air) into the...

  19. MEN, dont come into nursing

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Bruno Mars anyone? Anyways, to the op, nursing is tough for everyone, don't know why you're emphasizing males. But you gotta do what makes you happy. If the profession is making you miserable then by...

  20. ANA petitions Feds (educ. funding) for 1.1 million more RN's within 8 yrs.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Guttercat's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Its ridiculous, instead of putting more money into nursing schools, put the money into new grad residency programs for nursing. That gives them the experience that they need to find a job. It...

  21. Passing fundamental

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Clisabeth08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are you focusing on? Personally I find that fundamentals usually cover topics such as nursing process. So learn what is assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, evaluation....

  22. Passing fundamental

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Clisabeth08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure that you're not just reading. Nursing requires critical thinking so make sure you understand on top of knowing. Personally, I found it super useful to practice nclex questions as my exams...

  23. First New Graduate Position

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Murse91's topic in General Students

    Personally I feel that a nurse needs some experience in med surg prior to icu. It is better for the patient and better for the nurse. When a patient in icu dies, the new nurse might start to doubt...

  24. Discrimination Against ER Nurses?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DaveBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am not happy that my quote turned into a winky face, it was not the impact I was going

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DaveBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please read my previous post in regards to the bottom line of all nurses being a public forum for debate and ideas to be shared. If you are looking for unconditional kindness or understanding, seek...
