  1. Why of why.....can nobody actually show up on time?

    Nibbles1 replied to yogastudentRN's topic in Private Duty

    It was so bad on my last case that during the meet and greet, I had to watch them turn on a Kangaroo feeding pump. I was watching a nurse trying to give the meds via g tube on the side where you...

  2. Undershirts

    Nibbles1 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I get mine from target by Merona. They used to be 7 bucks but now they are 11.00 a piece. I can't complain because they last two years. The only time I got a hole was when I was holding my sweet cat...

  4. UTA acceptance doubts

    Nibbles1 replied to forever88's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I thought you had to have a RN license to do the RN-BSN online. And two years of experience. The BSN is 4 years. Unless you have a Bachelor's in something else. You got to have at least a 3.0 GPA....

  5. FCCA Genral Questions

    Nibbles1 replied to nmanson239's topic in Excelsior College

    if you print off the FCCA content guide, it will tell you how its laid out. It's done by weeks. You have to pass each section, with a quiz, before moving

  6. Complaining about your employer, loudly, at nurses' station

    Nibbles1 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't vent to my co-workers either. I have had too vent sessions come back to bite me. I either go to the charge nurse or I let crap

  7. Stethoscope Case

    Nibbles1 replied to Elsie15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My case is my neck. They also have lab coats with a pocket designed to hold an IPad which is where I store my stethoscope

  8. Home health and scary dogs!!

    Nibbles1 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    I have dog biscuits in my car just for Fido or Killer. They usually greet me after a few days of getting a treat. I had one jump in my lap and give me Christmas kisses last week. If that's not an...

  9. CNA WHILE IN SCHOOL

    Nibbles1 replied to HopefulNurse863's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a cna while in school. I worked 2-12 hr shifts. It gave me an edge during school as well. I always thought that all nurses should be cna's prior to nursing school. The only thing that ticked me...

  10. Attendance

    Nibbles1 replied to IttyBittyBabyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    One piece of advice: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Every time I think something is unfair, I get to squeaking that wheel. Case in point. I worked with a nurse who called in 6 times in one month....

  11. ATI predictor

    Nibbles1 replied to Friskee's topic in General Students

    I did 100 NCLEX questions a day til my test. I had a lot of standard precautions, isolation, droplet questions. BUT they were put the steps in order. Had a lot of legal questions too. Another person...

  12. Don't listen to the nurse

    Nibbles1 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was listening to the radio yesterday morning. They were talking to a girl who didn't know she was pregnant. She says she blacks out when she's on her cycle. She described her symptoms which were off...

  13. struggling-prospective nursing student

    Nibbles1 replied to afv16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know med students that have 4.0 and can't make it into medical school. Please take "going to be a nurse since I can't be a doctor" out of your vocabulary please. It takes 110% dedication to be a...

  14. Can I lose my license???

    Nibbles1 replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you did it on your break, I can't see patient neglect being an issue. It's not like you were getting "high." So diversion isn't an issue. Nurses can start IV's so that's not out of scope practice....

  15. Practical Nursing - salary raise?

    Nibbles1 replied to sallyk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Like I said earlier, maybe if you started your own private duty you can make that

    Nibbles1 replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  17. Ever accepted a job you knew was a mistake?

    Nibbles1 replied to Lucky724's topic in Nursing Career

    I put in 33 jobs applications. The first person who called I took. I lasted 4 days. Day 1 of orientation was thrown together. Day 2 the nurse kept saying "This is real world nursing" as she broke...

  18. My Journey from ER Tech to ER Nurse

    Nibbles1 replied to DFWRNStudent's topic in General Students

    I'm in the Dallas area as well. Good luck!! It's not a cake walk but you have the right

  19. Impossible to work correctly

    Nibbles1 replied to Subclavian Steel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As soon as you get your time management down, that med pass will be under 2 hours. Never chart something you do not do. I had 23 PEG tubes and over 30 blood sugar checks. It took me 8 hours to do my...

  20. Exams that appeal to Paramedics

    Nibbles1 replied to Cohutta's topic in Excelsior College

    I thought Life Span 1 was the easiest out of all three of them. Life Span 3 is a hard

  21. Pre nursing gpa or overall gpa?

    Nibbles1 replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll add this too everyone in my class had 4.0 GPA prior to starting nursing school. Good luck to

  22. Pre nursing gpa or overall gpa?

    Nibbles1 replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's 50/50. Some do and some don't. Most universities only look at your sciences. If you plan on going for your master's degree they will not accept anything lower than 3.0 and that's counting your...

  23. To stay or to go

    Nibbles1 replied to FutureRNCA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can certainly do classes online. We had a lady who was stationed in Japan and went to our community college. She took her tests at a local college there. The instructors sent the tests to her...

  24. Really? Why so Negative

    Nibbles1 replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in General Students

    This is why I am doing private duty nursing right now. I was sick of having a huge work load with no support. I needed a break from it. Hang in there! And good with BSN

  25. Educating patients on ER use

    Nibbles1 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I thought some States will not pay (if on Medicaid) if it's not a true emergency. I remember a peditrican telling a mother one morning that Medicaid wasn't going to pay for her sons ear ache. That it...
