    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get the Nightingale angel praise either. Though she revolutionized nursing care (as many dramatic medical advances come during war time) and was able to support the positive effects these...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I have not really heard of this. I'm only a student but, in my program, it seems like the instructors value a student who has that knack for giving genuinely compassionate care. I wouldn't be the...

    Meet Miss Colorado 2015 (Kelley Johnson) - The Nurse Behind the Stethoscope

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    What a fantastic example! I totally want to be her when I grow up!!! I think the best take away is her mentioning how nurses are valuing each other even more and that people are unifying in order to...

    No Longer a Fan

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    It seems that, if anyone is even remotely close to nursing in any way, that they would be well aware of Katie Kleber's book. I saw her tweet about being on Dr. Oz and was....well, disappointed. I can...

    How to do a better teaching plan for pulmonary edema patient?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to evelyna52's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You might need to study more on the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema because managing hypertension (also, did the pt present with hypertension???) will not be a direct way of preventing pulmonary...

    Nurses expecting to do too much!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, part of studying for the NCLEX is dealing with questions that list a bunch of doc orders for some kind of procedure prep and then ask, "What order would the nurse question?" or, "What...

    Struggling with ATI MEDSURG LPN Help!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to lifeofk's topic in General Students

    Do you mean that you have to take the proctored exam again? I'm wondering if you know exactly what it is you're struggling with based on the focused review results. If you could share that info that...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, reason #1 would be, this is the internet. Anyone can do anything if they find it amuses them. Also, your story doesn't add up -- I got suspicious at the "ochem before gen chem" idea. It just...

    Wrong Pt charting

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to kristimarieSC's topic in General Students

    That's a tough topic because charting on the wrong patient is not the only, or worst, error that can be done in an EHR. When safety is in question, the ISMP typically has some hidden gems on such...

    First case study..ever.

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to AhN10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, it gets easier and you are SO heading in the right direction. Usually "risk for" Dxs are not the first priority. They are potential problems but, in the post-op setting there are other things...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That just sounds like a lack of discipline and disinterest in what you're supposed to be studying. I can see doing a little to get it out of your system but you gotta start getting a hold of that...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to be very difficult for you when it comes to doing your initial assessment and establishing rapport with your patients. You have to start the conversation and you have to keep it going...

    Discrimination in nursing school?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to Mommiof4's topic in General Students

    My question is, is the medical restriction permanent or can it be worked around and/or ultimately resolved? If not, then you aren't being discriminated against and it is what it is unfortunately....

    Motivational quotes that helps(ed) fellow nursing students

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to janetcha's topic in General Students

    I always use that one when I'm struggling during a challenging work out. :) The one that has stuck with me is, "You can do hard things." I always repeat that to myself when my anxiety is getting the...

    Ummm....the Netflix? You already pointed out what might be holding you back. It doesn't seem like you would have a hard time getting As if you just worked at it, as you demonstrated from the 100% you...

    Trouble getting a recommendation

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to rebellefleur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this is the case, write up whatever you need in your recommendation letter and take it to your instructor's office and see what's up. Pick from a couple and see if you can get anything out of that....

    Aspiring RN student!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to TexasRosiee90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Volunteering is absolutely an option! Do whatever you can now because you'll need to be doing it during nursing school once you get in. If you have an idea what you would like to do, then see if you...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    Definitely not for *all* women. I've never understood fully what that show was intended to be about. It's been on forever and I just don't get it. It's all "cluck cluck cluck" and what not and it's...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    Exactly! She represents an "old school" mentality that holds nursing as a position of servitude (to the docs and the pts) with no skill or foundational knowledge whatsoever.

    The Real Brian Short - Words from a Friend

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to allnurses Admin Team's topic in General Nursing

    That is the takeaway from all of this: if such a thing could happen and be done by him, then it could be done by anyone. We never truly know what is going on with people or what demons they must...

    Food Pressure: Coworker Edition

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to OhioMary's topic in General Nursing

    So what is this NETY-in-reverse to be called? NETYWWEWT (Nurses-eat-the-young-who-won't-eat-with-them)? I used to have a hard time with this, too. I grew up in a community that had a large ethnic...

    help please

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to psamolmos's topic in General Students

    Honestly, if you did that well in A&P and Micro, you really shouldn't have a hard time knocking it out of the park and getting at least an 85% on the TEAS. I had a practice book but I never did...
