  1. NCLEX help!!

    WereBadger replied to Doodlebug21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, our text was 'Pharmacology and the Nursing Process, 7e' (ISBN 9780323087896). While rummaging on my bookcase, I remembered that I also really liked this set of pharmacology flash cards called...

  2. NCLEX help!!

    WereBadger replied to Doodlebug21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Something that helped me study for the NCLEX-PN was a free app called "NCLEX PN Mastery". I also really liked the Kaplan, HESI and Saunders review guides. Which pharmacology text did your program...

  3. Taking nclex-pn next week. any advices?

    WereBadger replied to fpl25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunders is a great resource, and it sounds as if you're well-prepared. Just as a note, I actually found the current Kaplan guide in my local public library, and the section which helped me the most...

  4. Didn't make it.

    WereBadger replied to Jessies_hope's topic in School, College Programs

    I hear your disappointment, but you have to remember that this is one program at one school. Take some time, then start thinking about how you're going to make this happen, because it WILL happen. Is...

  5. Taking nclex-pn next week. any advices?

    WereBadger replied to fpl25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I liked Kaplan as a complement to Saunders; I found that it focused on strategies rather than content, which was really helpful for me. Good

  6. On probation for being too "anxious"

    WereBadger replied to fskye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds as if you're a deeply caring and introspective person, and I admire your

  7. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    WereBadger replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    You need to talk to your prescriber about how your medications affect you. Some employers do have specific rules about classes of medications which may not be taken immediately preceding or while on...

  8. To old for nursing school?

    WereBadger replied to wannabeny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my bachelors in another field, worked for a few years and then decided that I was going to go into nursing instead. Finished my accelerated LPN program this past summer at 32 years old, and am...

  9. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    WereBadger replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    Good Morning, Annie! Ours is a 2003 WRX; we bought it when we landed at our first duty station, so it has quite a lot of sentimental value for us. Aside from its regular servicing (new tires, oils...

  10. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    WereBadger replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    Our Subaru Impreza is so great-- I can't say enough about it. I actually just looked outside, and it seems as though we're having our first snow of the season (hooray!) so I guess I'll be taking it...

  11. How many hours do you study?

    WereBadger replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    I worked while in an accelerated LPN program, and was just fine. Taking into account the care plans that can take hours to research, studying for exams, doing some reading for class (I usually only...

  12. On probation for being too "anxious"

    WereBadger replied to fskye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new nurse myself, but what initially stands out to me in your post is that you mention that your "severe depression and GAD...was well managed with medication" previously. Have you spoken to the...

  13. ER position

    WereBadger replied to kistigirl84's topic in Nursing Career

    It may be tricky to get your foot in the door there without experience, although I'm sure that this would depend on your location and the competition for ER positions. I precepted in an ER, and am...

  14. Best place in the US to be a LVN/LPN

    WereBadger replied to TEXN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really love being an LPN in Oregon. Our scope is pretty broad and jobs aren't too tough to come by (at least on the west side of the state -- I can't speak to the east). I work Urgent Care and am...

  15. Question about having cannabis card in California?

    WereBadger replied to Janna16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Cannabis is legal in my state, but it's explained to us on hire that as our facility receives federal funding (through programs such as Medicaid and Medicare) we are subject to federal laws. This...

  16. Student Nurse

    WereBadger replied to jordankb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How have things been going for you,

  17. Criminal background and Nursing

    WereBadger replied to Medicine11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I had a fellow nursing student in my LPN cohort who had been dealing with the same thing that it sounds like you will be. In her case she did have to meet with the DON at our clinical site, and...

  18. Student Nurse

    WereBadger replied to jordankb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just finished my LPN program this past summer and wrote the NCLEX-PN earlier today (!) so I'm hoping that some of my advice might be useful to you. :) What I found worked for me with studying was...

  19. Doing No Harm

    WereBadger replied to WereBadger's topic in General Students

    Thank you for this suggestion! I've been feeling a little strange about this clinical setting, and as a result have been trying really hard not to create waves, but I will definitely seek out this...

  20. Doing No Harm

    WereBadger posted a topic in General Students

    I'm on my final week of clinicals as a soon-to-graduate LPN, and I had an experience last night that I can't seem to come to terms with, and I'm hoping to ask the community here for guidance. Ideally,...

  21. Doing No Harm

    WereBadger replied to WereBadger's topic in General Students

    Thanks, all. As a little more background, it was a clean catch in effort to rule out a UTI. The patient had been transferred to our hospital from a nursing home. As an update: I was able to have a...

  22. Back To School Supplies :-)

    WereBadger replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've found that a small care/ first aid kit in my book bag is one of the most important "back to school" things -- bandaids, ibuprofen, ASA, moisturizer, neosporin, hair ties, one of those icy hot...
