  1. Take a break from NCLEX studying! :)

    Happy-ER-RN replied to christvs's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My goodness! You are making me feel like a slacker. I graduated May 13th and have only answered a couple hundred questions. I did just get married though...it was kind of break. Although, now I...

  3. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Happy-ER-RN replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  4. NCLEX..prioritizing.......

    Happy-ER-RN replied to xokelly2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think ABC's and Maslows is pretty much it. I think prioritization is probably easier than some of the other questions because you can use your knowledge of normal vital signs and the rest is common...

    Happy-ER-RN replied to vcannon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am so jealous of all you guys who are passing! I can't take the stupid test for another month because my school sent my transcripts late. I bet you are relieved! Congratulations!!

    Happy-ER-RN replied to grinnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in the Emerency Department as well, very busy with 60 beds with 6 trauma rooms. My first day was absolutely insane. I told my preceptor that I don't have a lot of experience with peds, so of...

  7. Five week ER orientation

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    What I don't understand is how it's possible that hospitals can continue to justify doing this financially. I mean, I know that orientation has been shortened because of the high turnover rate, they...

  8. Five week ER orientation

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for all the responses. I absolutely loved the ED when I did my internship and I hated med-surg so I figured--why make myself suffer? I was very VERY lucky to get one of the limited positions...

  9. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    No she did not.... say to the wife of a man 1 hr. post knee replacement after PT came in to get him up out of bed, (they had the wrong patient), "it's a good thing you were in here, they would have...

  10. Question about Shoes and Fanny Packs

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Cowboys_RN's topic in General Students

  11. Question about Shoes and Fanny Packs

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Cowboys_RN's topic in General Students

    I'm really not that into fashion, but it's my opinion that a fanny pack is NEVER a good idea.

  12. Question about an accident

    Happy-ER-RN replied to Ready's topic in General Nursing

    Before I had ever even thought about going to nursing school about 5 years ago I also witnessed a horrifying (gory) event involving a young man who died. It was very hard to deal with and looking...

  13. Overwhelmed

    Happy-ER-RN replied to xokelly2's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. new grad new job question(sorry- long)

    Happy-ER-RN replied to martymoose's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Even if you do decide to move away from the hospital, know that you are doing what is right for you and your circumstances right now. Don't let other people's...

  17. Nursing School Bulge? Is it just me...........

    Happy-ER-RN replied to RavenAngel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think nursing school causes you to gain weight just because you are always sitting on your A**. You sit all day long in classes and then go home and sit and study. I have never spent so much time...

    Happy-ER-RN replied to tgoodwinrn's topic in First Year After Licensure
