  1. help me prioritize please

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    This is good advice about meds, thank you! I liked assessing before I even pulled meds on the other units I was on, but this one is just more patients per nurse, and true 1000 things I didn't mention...

    direw0lf posted a topic in Nursing Career

    direw0lf replied to GlitterPrincess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're welcome... I think your plan is perfect! Also what worked for me was about a week before my exam I really piled on the questions, like 200 a day and did rationales (bc I wanted to finish all...

  5. Possibly relocating to NC

    direw0lf replied to lyss_'s topic in Nursing Career

    Not sure where you're moving from, but you may be taking a pay cut. NC is the lowest paying state on the east coast for RNs. That said, Duke located in Durham is a world class hospital. I've met nurse...

  6. Only using UWorld to study?

    direw0lf replied to GlitterPrincess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed using mostly uworld in 75 qs first time. My school offered us Hurst, and I didn't think it helped. It was very rushed and simplified imo. I thought uworld helped my critical thinking. After...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Big thank you to everyone! Unfortunately we weren't taught dimensional analysis, my class was actually discouraged to use it but it was a pharmacologist who was teaching us. I did a practice right now...

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can I have advice please as for what to say to some of my coworkers who do this? They will tell my patients that I'm "not very smart and it's scary I'm a nurse" for example. I have felt it damage the...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the advice, and this above was very helpful as well. The name calling has been bothering me. I questiondd myself a lot, if maybe I really was acting in a way that made me look...

  12. coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    They said if they didn't like me they wouldn't tease me or something like that. Or if they really thought I was dumb they wouldn't say I was. Or they only joke with people they like. I have said but...

  13. OB class makes me depressed...

    direw0lf replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    I think what might help you is to keep talking about your feelings if not to us then to another forum, friends, family and/or professional. I just know we are all very unique in our bodies and what...

  14. taking a job but quitting in 4 months?

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    The reason I'm in a rush is because the area I'm in is very unsafe. People walk around carrying baseball bats. I can't wait to get out... we just got a little conflicted about if we really want to...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

  18. How to know if nursing is the career for me?

    direw0lf replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have another major you are considering besides nursing? If you do, you can write a list of pros and cons for each. I had a hard time deciding between chemistry and nursing (seriously!) and I...
