    Heymickey posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got hired at a local hospital February 15th. Passed the boards April 13th, but didn't find out until about June 1st. I got my CCRN cert... I'm not even sure what that is anymore... I don't think...

    Heymickey replied to tyler's topic in General Nursing

    Can't make a wrong choice when it's a Littmann! I plan on getting a middle-of-the-line Littmann... right now I have a lightweight, and I will be trading up, soon. It's good enough to pick up mitral...

    Heymickey replied to Heymickey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing better. I still don't understand how you people work three days in a row. My social life slipped away a long time ago, and i'm trying to find my way back into the gym. Today was actually...

    Heymickey replied to Heymickey's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for the late reply... I just woke up. I think I misled everyone into thinking I work in critical care. I work in a regular med-surg. I don't work in any other field because I intend to go...

  8. review book for nclex-rn

    Heymickey replied to goziem72's topic in General Nursing

    I agree... I worried about pulling through the first semester. NCLEX study books, even though our school just handed them us, I never considered picking up. It wasn't until I graduated that I loaded...

  9. hyper and hypotension question @ client.

    Heymickey replied to alliecat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I always try to stick with the patient's home schedule. It would be torture to give 40mg Lasix BID and have the second dose at 2100. At my hospital pharm would give you a hard time changing...

  10. IV Protonix

    Heymickey replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing

    Heymickey replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm too new at this stuff to be posting, but I don't have too much of a problem with IVs. It's prob my fave nursing procedure! I've put in quite a few IVs and after a while, I got the hang of...

    Heymickey replied to Heymickey's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I tried to relax a little, and I managed to study about 4 hours, also. I feel a little better. I scored a 67% on the Nursing 3000 CD, and I don't feel too bad. 3 days left! Please,...
