  2. Forced to be charge without the pay???

    Momto3RN replied to Nacki's topic in General Nursing

    This just takes the cake! Charging without ANY patients is still the equivalent of a full load at times! I usually have 1-2 pts when I charge, day or night, and though I do my best, those pts do not...

    Momto3RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Momto3RN replied to OldMareLPN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Betadine? Alcohol? (one, the other, or both?)

    Momto3RN replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught alcohol first then betadyne which I do for PICC changes but for peripherals I use only alcohol. And mostly for the fact that betadyne diminishes my view and I can't locate the veins as...

  20. Do most pass NCLEX the first time?

    Momto3RN replied to mom2rosebudbaby's topic in General Nursing

    My tried-n-true philosophy for the NCLEX-RN: Relax and follow the NURSING PROCESS. It would be nearly impossible to review all your past notes. The NCLEX is not a recall test per se. And, really, all...

  21. Do you wear gloves

    Momto3RN replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm usually pretty consistent about wearing gloves. You couldn't pay me ENOUGH to do pericare without them. I'm not squeamish about body fluids but I have a young family to think about, too. That...

    Momto3RN replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    Having lived in France for 18 months, I well understand the frustration of not speaking the native language!! I think ANYONE, regardless of age, circumstances, etc., can learn enough of a language to...
