    Share your BOOYAH moments...

    Murse901 replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't referencing your post. I was referencing the giving the physician a raspberry and "I told ya so" the next day

    Share your BOOYAH moments...

    Murse901 replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm not really sure that telling a physician a patient is going to die followed by the patient's death is really a "booyah

    AHA BLS Instructor card & Healthcare Provider card

    Murse901 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. I just recently got my AHA BLS Instructor cert from my employer. When we went through the class, he said that the Instructor cert and the BLS Healthcare Provider cert would expire at the...

    Confused about Vandy's tuition reimbursement.

    Murse901 replied to mmcmarsh's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'd be interested in finding out about this as well, as I've read conflicting info. I do know a friend of a friend that works at Vandy and she told me that if you're a Vandy nurse and you're attending...

    Memphis

    Murse901 replied to Zaphod's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm not so sure that a good tamale outweighs a crime level that's through the roof, a disproportionate number of corrupt government officials, a job market that consists of little more than warehouse...

    Memphis

    Murse901 replied to Zaphod's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Actually, the "perception" of Memphis as a high crime city is not simply perception. It's a fact. According to city-data.com's database, Memphis has a crime index of 949.4 (the national average is...

    care plan... Nanda: Pain, Acute

    Murse901 replied to nursetahnee's topic in General Students

    Also, in the absence of any life-threatening problem (ABC's), pain is going to be THE priority nursing diagnosis no matter

    care plan... Nanda: Pain, Acute

    Murse901 replied to nursetahnee's topic in General Students

    Since he says the pain is causing the nausea, I would focus on the pain. No pain = no nausea, if what he says is

    Passed CPNE in Mansfield 9/24-9/26 with NO REPEATS!

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Excelsior College

    1) The FCCA wasn't a big deal. Of course, we're not allowed to discuss it due to the academic honesty policy or whatever. But it was really nothing. I think it took me about 4 to 6 hours to complete,...

    Passed Repoductive Exam! Help with Transitions

    Murse901 replied to brenan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Transitions is one of the easiest exams, if not THE easiest. Don't sweat it too much. Know the roles of CNA, LPN, RN. What you can and can't delegate. A little nursing history. There really isn't that...

    Got my unoffical review from Excelsior

    Murse901 replied to jamienR's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would echo the suggestions above, with a couple of changes. CLEP/DSST anything you can, so long as you're good with standardized testing. It's much faster and cheaper to take a CLEP. Not necessarily...

    Passed CPNE in Mansfield 9/24-9/26 with NO REPEATS!

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks everyone! Now I'm just at the point where I'm checking the MyEC page 3 or 4 times a day waiting for my grad status to update -- I know it's supposed to take 4-6 weeks, but I guess I have some...

    What meds should I know for CPNE??

    Murse901 replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    By the way, I also took Lynn's workshop and feel that it was a HUGE reason for my passing in Mansfield this past weekend with no repeats. Lynn gives you several major tricks and tips that you WILL NOT...

    What meds should I know for CPNE??

    Murse901 replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't waste your time on memorizing the meds. As others have said, you'll have your book. I had 4 PO meds on one patient and an IVPB on another patient. I wrote down some very basic information,...

    NCLEX Suggestion!

    Murse901 replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pretty good tips, but the first question would really throw me for a loop. Keeping in mind that most juice is acidic (and acid speeds up the action of a lot of drugs), that would have then thrown me...

    I would so date a female CNA!

    Murse901 replied to Vegemite's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My bad. I guess I did read too much into it. Seemed like the focus was on the fact that you'd never considered dating a CNA before. Like caliotter3 said, be careful about dating coworkers (even though...

    mg in a grain

    Murse901 replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It can be 60 or 65. I haven't heard 64, but I don't doubt it. Apothecary isn't a very accurate system, so it's a little clunky converting to metric. But yes, 60 and 65 is correct. It just depends on...

    LPN Program Easier than RN Program?

    Murse901 replied to Donald11's topic in LPN to RN

    My LPN program was 40 hours a week for a full year, with a total of about 3 weeks' worth of breaks thrown in. The average ADN program is 12-16 hours a week for two years with summers off and...

    I would so date a female CNA!

    Murse901 replied to Vegemite's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Before you interacted with them, did you feel that the CNA's were somehow beneath your dating status? Now that you've been exposed to them and found that they're people just like everyone else, you...

    FCCA Information

    Murse901 replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We can't give details on the test, but I will echo the others and say the FCCA isn't that much to worry about. I personally think that I over-analyzed everything and went into waaay too much detail,...

    Required to stay on-site during lunch break?

    Murse901 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Does anyone know whether or not it is legal in Tennessee for an employer to require you to stay on the premesis during an unpaid, clocked-out 30 minute lunch

    do you have to necessary be a CNA to become an lpn?!

    Murse901 replied to margueritef's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that you're not referring to my post above. Stating that CNA work does not prepare you for the responsibility of nursing is not disrespectful. It's simply a statement of opinion. I did mention...
