    looking for pity, feeling overwhelmed & unorganized (long vent)

    JentheRN05 replied to lunakat's topic in General Students

    I remember that. I had the worlds worst anxiety. One thing that helps is make up your own report sheet. Put what needs done, and when it needs done. I think I might still have a copy if any of you...

    I really truly think I chose the wrong department

    JentheRN05 replied to JentheRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I quit today. I am starting to feel better already. My nurse manager was very understanding and supportive. Even suggested I get a job in a PP unit and work my way up. I never had a problem with my...

    JentheRN05 replied to misaginder's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know of a few who took it upwards to 4 times before they passed it. You have went through a lot. When I was in my semeter of school, my niece, whom I was very close to was killed in a car accident....

    JentheRN05 replied to JentheRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think I've made my decision. I'm gonna sit down my my nurse manager and tell her how I'm feeling. Let her know that I can't continue like this and give her notice. I plan to make suggestions that...

    OB Emergencies

    JentheRN05 replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well - I have to agree with the other response. If only a L&D nurse was there, wouldn't been the only thing you could've changed, if the baby was gone, which is very possible when you aren't sure...

    OB Emergencies

    JentheRN05 replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that it's important for ER nurses to know the s/s of OB emergencies. In my opinion, only my opinion. If you knew what was going on, more than likely you would've taken her over sooner. She had...

    1 month in and students already quitting

    JentheRN05 replied to luvmypatients's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Memorization will not help you in nursing school, actually understanding it will. I would suggest attempting to figure out how each process works, what happens when it works, what happens when it...

    JentheRN05 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Skin Tears........

    JentheRN05 replied to BIG T's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    As far as keeping them on, have you tried distraction techniques? Something they can "play" with in their hands? One of the stress balls or something like that. Just to use as a distractor. I haven't...

    JentheRN05 replied to JentheRN05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is this an distance course? That's specifically what I'm looking for. I have started an application process through St. Francis college. But I have a hard time getting in touch with them. I've sent...

    what is needed to pass nclex?

    JentheRN05 replied to dylan101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not exactly sure of the %/# of questions required. The tests are progressive. If you answer the easy questions right, you "progress" to even harder questions. If you answer what I am assuming is...

    JentheRN05 replied to katesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes you can. I was alot like you, I put it off and put it off. Went through several jobs in the medical field but just knew eventually I would have to "grow some balls" and get enrolled to be a nurse....

    Chronic Tardiness

    JentheRN05 replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While in nursing school - if you were late for a clinical, you were sent home for the day. You miss two clinicals and you get a clinical fail. Instill these values during their education and they will...

    Starting IVs

    JentheRN05 replied to amber1142's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lol - funny you should mention that. If your opposite arm has good veins, and you can handle it (it's easier than someone else doing it because your controlling your pain) why couldn't you? I have....

    Starting IVs

    JentheRN05 replied to amber1142's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It shouldn't take much, once your in the vein. Once in, tip the needle towards the top part of the vein only a tiny bit. advance from there. Sounds like you might have made the same mistake I was...

    Tattoo's on Nurses

    JentheRN05 replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

    I have several tattoos. If they can be hidden in the interview then I wouldn't worry about it. They usually don't ask about tattoos, it is of personal preference. As long as you aren't wearing clothes...

    JentheRN05 replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    Starting IVs

    JentheRN05 replied to amber1142's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definately, bevel up too. I strongly would suggest asking another nurse for a practice arm. Someone who has good veins. I have a pipeline myself, that's why I offer so often. But once you get the...

    should this girl pass nursing school?

    JentheRN05 replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    Actually I'm certain it is true. She told me herself. I was very kind to this person. I have a good heart and try to get along with everyone. I had many talks with this girl. No matter how hard I...
