    I failed my 1st fundamental of nursing exam

    Oh'Ello replied to stepmelisa's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds demeaning, but Language barriers CAN be a factor. Many nursing and NCLEX style questions are NOT straightforward and are written to mislead the reader. Just get an NCLEX study book,...

    Oh'Ello replied to futrpmhnp's topic in General Nursing

    Looking for something different!

    Oh'Ello replied to slb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Well what about a post-op floor. Surg-onc? (Lots of post-op, tubes, draines, dressings, etc) Lots of variety of diagnoses. Maybe ... CT surgery? Surgical Urology?, Post Cath? You name it, its...

    Oh'Ello replied to Djakujudobre's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Heme/Onc, so I know that imatinib costs can be unbearable. I just searched it on our prescription plan. 12% covered. The remaining 88% is up to the

    post-baby boom generation and nursing theory

    Oh'Ello replied to lxpatterson's topic in General Nursing

    The only "theory" that holds any water for me is Lasater and the Clinical Judgement modeling. Its not even so much a nursing theory as a nursing education theory and honestly I find it more relevant...

    Weirdest/most difficult thing swallowed by a patient

    Oh'Ello replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Eating disorder patient. Pulled her feeding tube and then ripped it into pieces and swallowed it. Don't ask me how, or why for that

    Double Pane Windows?

    Oh'Ello replied to seasidesoul's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly recessed wooden blinds do the job for me. The faux wood works just as well. Just RECESS them in the window frame instead of mounting them on the outside. You can get em at home depot...

    Wow! Broad start! What are your favorite things about your current job? And what things (work or otherwise) do you feel like you are really good at? That might give us a starting

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Oh'Ello replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't unpleasant at all. I never expected anyone to be nice, caring or particularly interested in us. Removing the emotional investment in people who are there to do a job that has nothing to...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Oh'Ello replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? We do care. Nurses were ****** to me when I was in nursing school too. The difference is that I was and still am able to identify how much of a burden my presence was. I sure as...

    Taking a Job with YouTube as Your Training

    Oh'Ello replied to Nibbles1's topic in General Nursing

    Youtube aside, never take a job when you don't know how much they're paying

    Items for practicing injecions

    Oh'Ello replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in General Students

    something squishy. Stress balls are good... because you can pinch them, as you would real skin. Just squeeze them and the fluid comes back

    Anyone excited about your RN life ahead?

    Oh'Ello replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Upward mobility is such an energizing feeling. I'm glad you feel like your choices have lead to the ability to change and improve your

    Starting out in a hospital?

    Oh'Ello replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in General Nursing

    100% of new grads are expected to do 50/50 day night rotation. It is almost impossible to go straight

    The state made a weird request

    Oh'Ello replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the facility is required to purchase your food items in order for them to be the same foods that patients are eating, yes it is a weird and ridiculous request. If you're not eating it in front...

    How to become a NP?

    Oh'Ello replied to msnorth's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    should I stay or should I go?

    Oh'Ello replied to Nurseynurse369's topic in General Nursing

    Wait... are you an LPN? or an RN. If you're an RN... run screaming, as 17.45 an hour is a ridiculously low wage. I made $16 an hour to fold jeans at a J.Crew outlet store in the midwest. I know...

    Log Narcotic Before/After

    Oh'Ello replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in General Students

    I mean this is kinda stupid. Look at the MAR before to see when its administered(so you don't double dose) and then document it after they take it. This is not rocket science. Both are easy to...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Oh'Ello replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know whats funny about this is... about 50% of my patients, despite my uniform color, the fact that I'm injecting them with IV medications, my name badge that says "Registered Nurse" on it, they...
