I have a question. I was called by my job saying a nurse called off for her on call shift tomorrow and that they are mandating me to take it and I will have to go in they have scheduled cases (OR). Is his allowed? I'm already going to be on call Sun...

I'm a hospice RN and last night I received a call from the patients daughter stating her mom had blue urine, and to prove her point she sent me a video of it, and it looks like blue kool-aid. Has anyone ever seen blue urine and if so what would be th...

I'm trying to critique my resume, I'm having a hard time getting any job offers. I have heard people say that you should include clinical sites and hours in your resume as experience. Is this true or not? Do you include it in yours? I appreciate your...

Thanks so much for your thoughts and ideas on this. I will definitely make sure it is listed as clinical experience and I'll try to keep it brief as well. Thanks so much I appreciate it.

Just wanted to say hi and congrats. I was in the first year LPN-RN (2009-2010) program at AH. Good luck, it is hard work but worth it in the end :) If you have questions let me know.

my other 2 times i failed with 265 questions each time. today i only had 119 and just did the person vue trick and i got the good pop-up :):w00t::balloons:

This thread is awesome. I read every post and I took my nclex-RN the other day and because of this thread I was able to answer some questions I wouldn't have had the answer to and I passed my exam :) Thanks so much for posting this thread and those w...

Good luck. I know how hard it is to pick yourself up, swallow your pride and start finding another way to study. Just keep telling yourself you will pass. Review content you're not confident in and review it, and do tons of practice questions, review...

Congrats. I got a good pop up today as well :)

Put in the time to study. I went back and studied content. Especially the areas I was weak in. I also did an entire book of priority, delegation. I also did flash cards of all labs and critical med values. I also did 100-200 questions a day. It helpe...

I'm so upset. Tell me what you would do. I had my gallbladder removed yesterday and was kept overnight which I was glad b/c I was in a ton of pain and the Dr had dilaudid Q3 and vicodin Q 4. I asked my nurse for pain meds this am she said she would...

Thanks. I think I'll try calling their on call answering service. Can't hurt. What will I be called this time a hypochondria? Lol

I can understand. It is a very strong drug. I really didn't care what they gave me. I don't like feeling so drugged up I just didn't want to be in pain. Btw my dose was only 0.5 so not much but it was enough to take the edge off.

Is dilaudid contraindicated for a Chole?? Just wondering? I never asked for dilaudid itwas what the surgeon ordered.

Yes im home. They gave me rx for norco 5/325, 1 q4 and it isn't touching the pain. I took 2 to see if that would help but no. I'm miserable and I have a bad feeling I have an infection. I've had many lap surgeries for my endo and not one has ever lo...

I waited cause I don't like to constantly ask and ask. Why would they test me? I had surgery. I have 4 incisions. I think it's pretty obvious I was in pain. Every time I moved I would be in tears. The meds they sent me home in are not even working. ...

I didn't know this. I might call the BON and ask them. I'd like to know for future reference.

Thank you so much. I was shocked at how unprofessional they were and judgmental. They know that pain is subjective and is whatever the patient says it is. I just couldn't believe they said I was drug seeking. I don't like taking pain meds. However be...

I didn't think so either, that isn't something a nurse should delegate to a Cna. She had it out before I had a chance to say anything.

Thanks so much for posting this. I really appreciate you helping us. I know in scared to death of taking my boards. I failed already and have not had the confidence to retake. I think this will help tons. :)

Not sure where you heard baker is not accredited, but it is, I went/go there. If you have questions about it call the school and ask to speak with the nursing director who can explain things to you. Also, as long as you pass your boards and have a li...

Just wanted to mention I just looked on Bakers website, to see if the LPN-Rn was on there yet. It doesn't show it yet, but if you go to the Open Classes for fall of 09, scroll down to Nursing and it shows the LPN-RN transition on there.

they were just approved for the lpn to rn bridge last week so they wouldn't have it up yet, it's only been since friday. i talk to chris l. regularly (don of nursing program) and she is the one that told me they were approved and i got the letter in ...

Baker in Auburn Hills just was approved for the LPN-RN program. I will be starting in the fall as one of the first students in this program...I'm so excited. Just wanted to get the word out. (I graduated last year as a LPN from the A.H. campus)

Just stopping by to say hi. I graduated as a LPN in August last year, I have all my pre-req's done so I'm applying to OCC (a community college near me) and hopefully will begin in the summer (crossing all fingers :) ) I was origanlly going straight f...
