  1. A nurse ate me as her young and I'm still paying for it

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNnewgrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd like to make an analogy to new nursing with terrorism (curious now?)...and here's why: A terrorist only has to be right ONE time. In the meantime, we have to foil plots over and over again year...

  2. Please be careful when helping people

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNKay31's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    P.S. nindot...curious that you didn't read any posts above yours before asking your

  3. Please be careful when helping people

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNKay31's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    :yeahthat: Some people don't know that its illegal to pass along passwords and such for Kaplan Trainer & QBank, but it IS illegal to share your password (or sell it) and have someone else use the...

  4. Womens interest in male nurses

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dunno what other women think, but a man that brings home the bacon with one hand, and can administer an enema with the other...well, he's simply ALL MAN in my

  5. NCLEX SUCCESS: 5th time made the difference

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to JoeB1047's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Warmest Congratulations to you- may you use your lesson of discouragement, but perseverance and eventual triumph, to encourage others in the future!! :smiley_aa :smiley_aa :smiley_aa

  6. How long does it take to get over being squeamish??

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to c18436572's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Exposure is the key, just like above poster said. With more exposure, you will get desensitized to blood, guts and gore and who knows...eventually you could become like so many nurses I know, who run...

  7. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just for the record: BOTH orientate and orient are actual words and both can mean the same thing. Look up 'orientate' in Merriam-Webster's paper dictionary (yes, paper dictionaries still exist), and...

  8. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: i love it when people take the time to really offer help to others, rather than just give a comment- great job

  9. 265 questions and still failed

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to shancj's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you are remarkable to be able to focus on retesting ASAP, especially considering your kids and recent surgery. Here is my suggestion if you MUST retest that quickly, despite your recent...

  10. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    In our school, we had to get 90% too and we were not allowed to use any calculators (you should have seen THAT test !!!). On one more advanced test, we were required to get 100% (calculators were...

  11. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sanctuary- I liked your phrase about putting 'the demons temporarily at rest'...good analogy between these patients' distressing and compelling thoughts, which are not even related to the present time...

  12. Passed NCLEX..here is what I recommend

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Gvsuamber's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Givsuamber- I really enjoyed seeing something other than "I passed!!" from someone who just passed the NCLEX. So nice that the first thing you thought to do was to pass along helpful tips to others-...

  13. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Whenever possible, I think kindness should be the rule. If this means that when trying to 'validate' a patient's feelings or concerns, and you find it doesn't work so you just allow the patient to...

  14. help!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to luv2shop19mall's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Luv2shop-try not to get too discouraged. I am so sorry for this recent test result and hope that you realize that you are NOT alone. Isn't it funny that we have so many areas of our lives where we...

  15. What is the hardest thing about Nursing school?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to chicksmom's topic in General Nursing

    The hardest thing for me was the lack of sleep. I'd go over to the hospital after classes ended around 6 p.m. to get my next day's patient info for my Care Plans, which we had to do the night before...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

  18. Anybody know if this is correct? Delegation question!

    RebeccaJeanRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought I recalled from my NCLEX review class that Kaplan said that a UAP (unlicensed assistant personnel) would not be allowed to bathe a MRSA (contact precaution) patient. In other words, the RN...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to jov's topic in Male Nursing Students

  20. Need Help Figuring Out Commute!!

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to StephRN25's topic in California Nursing

    Are you saying that you are going to live Downtown and commute TO Escondido? If so, roughly an hour to hour and 15 mins to commute, worse if there is an accident. Its really only about a 28 minute...

  21. Guys, how should I handle this?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to jov's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd say do nothing unless it really bothered you, in which case you can take it up privately with the instructor. Its the instructor's responsibility to address things like this when its annoying. But...

  23. Weirdest test taker EVER on NLEX perhaps?

    RebeccaJeanRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend took NCLEX the other day. It ended at 75 questions, so I congratulated her because I thought it was a very positive sign (statistically, you have a much better chance of passing with 75...

  24. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to lucky13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lucky13: I'm so sorry you didn't pass. We never know why things happen...maybe a better job awaits you when you finally do pass. I don't know why it seems that we have to take our lumps sometimes and...
