nurse3131 RN

This pt was at the clinic with a complaint of a breast bump. The pt got a mammogram weeks later and came up she has breast cancer. She called me on the phone very stressed, crying and in denial. I tried to give her encouragement but I did not know if...

oh ok thank you! I was a little confused..

OP question aren't you suppose to be a RN already to be able to earn a bachelors on nursing? nclex PN is pretty hard, and there is not way to really prepare for it..

I think the main thing is to find your studying style, what makes you retain information better. Unless you "barely" made it through the first semester the way you have study was somewhat effective. In my own experience I used to read all the chapter...

OP, how someone that is dying "can be enjoying narcs a little too much" really???

OP I think you are going to do great in nursing school since you are probably used to reading lots of material in a very short period of time since you already are a medical student. I am sure you must have a very good knowledge about diseases and th...

maybe set up an alarm on your phone to remember to waste the meds.. don't lose your license over something like that

I would not put that job on my resume, it is going to make you look bad..

Thank you all for the advise! next time I get to talk to her I would try my best to make her feel she is been heard. I have never thought about cancer patients becoming friends like that while chemo, that is awesome!

That makes sense! thank you!

It is very hard to try to give patients words of encouragement without giving them false promises..

I was trying to say they did a lot of the stuff on the list, but not everything of course. I do think they should not triage for example.. but they do.

I don't think having debt could be a reason to take your license but if they press charges against you then you may have problems.. You need a lawyer probably to help you, good luck! I hope you can work it all out!

I'll go for option: A

I do not like boredom but neither the craziness LOL I wish we could find a job that is not too slow but not too insane! In between would be awesome!

I think it is annoying! specially when people at work wants to "celebrate" birthdays at work and make up a list of stuff we are suppose to bring. Once the list gets to me everyone picked the cheapest stuff (soda, napkins, etc) and I get stuck buying ...

You need to leave that job ASAP! the MD is too shady!!

The main deal is: the nurses on the floor are working and had a lot going on to having to teach students. This is why you have instructors, they are the ones that are suppose and expect to be teaching you..I just don't understand why nursing students...

Question, what is the NACE test consist of? is there a book to go by and study for this test? and do you have clinical hours for this program? I was reading if we have been working a year as a LPN it looks like there are is not clinical part?

It's funny how many of you talk like you never were students before.. but I think the instructors should be the ones who teach no the nurses on duty.

"I don't know what to do. I have put so much time, energy, and money into this program and I am not ready to give up" hello, my advise is DO NOT approach them by the saying they did not advise you or warn about the school policy. The syllabus is th...
