  1. Please Help Me!! 50 pts med pass [New grad]

    tcdtx replied to medsurgcutie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Overreacting????? They are insane!!!!! RUN! I graduated in December, myself. The way I see it is: I worked really hard for my license, and the only one that cares about that is me, so I am going...

  2. Upset!!! write up and patients marijuana

    tcdtx replied to RNGINA's topic in Home Health

    With all due respect, I have to disagree. We are talking about Marajuana (an illegal drug), not alcohol (a legal drug). Cops arrest people all the time for "possession", they don't have to see the...

  3. NCLEX...any suggestions?

    tcdtx replied to skatoliki's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed the NCLEX in December. Our instructors referred to Saunders quite a bit, so I had 4 semesters of studying that book. When I graduated, I bought the Kaplan review book with CD. It has a lot...

  4. Pre-RN no expirence jobs

    tcdtx replied to Hind12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to be sure I wanted to go into nursing, so I got a job as an admission clerk in the ER to start. I eventually moved into a tech position in the ER. I had no previous experience or...

  5. Did I Make a Big Mistake?

    tcdtx replied to RNLauren05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I would find another job. If you're not happy, you're going to just wear yourself out. Everyone needs nurses, so just start "quietly" searching. There is no reason to make yourself...

  6. Orientation length

    tcdtx replied to medsurgcutie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do they mean orientation as in facility orientation? You know, the policy and procedures, HIPPA, etc. I interviewed at a LTCF on Monday, and they do 3 days of orientation (classroom). Then they put...

    tcdtx posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking the NCLEX-RN (in Texas) on Jan 5. I just graduated in December. I figured I should take the test while everything's still "fresh" in my mind. I'm so nervous, I'm having a hard time...

  10. NCLEX-RN Thursday

    tcdtx replied to tcdtx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, it's driving me crazy too! My fingers are crossed 4 u also. I had somewhere between 90-100 questions. We did a lot of Arnett practice tests my last semester, and it seemed similar to...

  11. NCLEX-RN Thursday

    tcdtx replied to tcdtx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    THIS WAITING STUFF IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!! I have checked, just in case my score is posted, and it isn't. I hope I don't have to wait til

  12. Opinions on J pouch procedure

    tcdtx replied to bethin's topic in Gastroenterology

    I didn't have any problems with my pouch. Once you get the hang of how to apply the pouch securely, it's easy to handle. No one ever knew I had a pouch, unless I told them, even people at school....

  13. Opinions on J pouch procedure

    tcdtx replied to bethin's topic in Gastroenterology

    I am 24 now, and I had my colon removed when I was 21. I had UC for 2 years, and it turned into toxic megacolon, and I had to have emergency surgery and an ostomy. Luckily, the doctor was able to...

  14. You're going to Community College?

    tcdtx replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated with my ADN recently from NCTC, a community college out in the "country". Our class had about 35 people in it, so it was small enough that we got a lot of attention from our teachers....

  15. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    tcdtx replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    There are many careers you can have with a nursing degree. If you are not one to clean up poop and vomit, you might be happier at a desk at a nurse call center, or something. If you think about it,...

  16. This whole nursing care plan deal

    tcdtx replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just graduated last night from an (ADN) RN program. If it makes you feel any better, it didn't matter what I wrote on my care plans, the teacher always has a "better" way of doing it. It took me...

  17. Policies and Procedures

    tcdtx posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am a last semester ADN student, and we have to write a new policy and procedure paper for our hospital. We chose the topic of what to do when a sexual assult victim comes into the ER. (I live in a...
