  1. No real time for bedside nursing...I have got to chart!

    Exhuasted replied to Ms.muhammadRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe these people... at my job "oh sorry I didn't have time to chart" doesn't cut it. Charting is a REQUIREMENT and if we don't do it to the letter we get written up and even fired. I'm...

  2. Switching from nights to days

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Nursing

    I asked to move to day shift and I was moved IMMEDIATELY, no more night shifts ever. I love working nights but I can't handle what it's doing to the rest of my life. So my first day shift is tomorrow....

  3. I want to be an ER nurse! Maybe...

    Exhuasted posted a topic in Emergency

    I've only been working as a nurse for 5 months at the moment, so any change I might make would be far in the future... but I've been thinking a lot about ER lately. I work on an ortho/trauma floor,...

  4. How full do you fill your lab vials?

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering how full lab tubes really need to be. I usually try to get mine about halfway (unless it's a blue top), but the other day I saw a more experienced nurse sending off blood with hardly...

  5. First nursing job

    Exhuasted posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I finally got my first nursing job! I start July 24th in an ortho/trauma unit at a hospital I am extremely unfamiliar with. I know it's a great hospital, I'm not worried about that, but I had hoped to...

  6. CON withholding proof of graduation!!!!

    Exhuasted replied to KelERnurse's topic in General Students

    My school required an NCLEX prep course BUT we knew about this requirement from day one of semester one, and it was only a 3 day course. And yes we did have to pay for it, $425. I know a lot of other...

  7. What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm in my last semester of nursing school (for the second time), and apparently my clinical instructor thinks I'm not cut out to work in a hospital, and I'm pretty sure the only way she's going to...

  8. Code status

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    Can anyone give me a list of all the types of code status? I get DNR, DNI, comfort measures, full code... But I've recently started seeing things like code A and code B in clinicals, what...

  9. What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

    Exhuasted replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    For some reason I quit getting notifications for this post, I'm sorry. But for those asking about the saline thing, we were in post conference and she had us all in a circle and she was pretending to...

  10. Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    Exhuasted replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    It really is everything you hear. BUT if nursing is what you really want to do it WILL be worth it. You just have to keep your focus on that

  11. What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

    Exhuasted replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    It's my second time because I failed clinically last semester. Yes, she will fail me if she thinks I'm not competent. She thinks I can't handle a high stress environment. The only negative feedback...

  12. Failed in clinicals

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    Okay so I'll try to keep what could be a very long story as concise as possible. I started what should have been my last semester of AD nursing school on August 22nd, but on August 6th my life...

  13. I don't feel smart enough for nursing school??

    Exhuasted replied to mzsuccess's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First of all, as for the cliques, it really sucks but it's very common. You just have to really work to overlook it and be the more mature one. Now on to grades. In my program they say that quizzes...

  14. A&PII with Micro

    Exhuasted replied to dramix3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't know about your school, but at mine micro is one of the most hated classes by everyone. Most people choose to take it in summer so that they will be able...

  15. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Exhuasted replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    A man being a nurse is a plus for me. If you're a nurse it automatically means you're smart (even the easiest nursing school in the world still requires serious intelligence!), it means you have...

  16. First week- will I die of boredom?

    Exhuasted replied to gypsierose's topic in General Students

    Don't worry, if your school gives a crap about NCLEX pass rates, it'll get plenty hard. (Final semester student and

  17. FAILED. Now what?

    Exhuasted replied to Leopold90's topic in General Students

    If I were you I would take the opportunity to start over. Especially if you've only invested a year in it. I'm in an ADN program and only about a month and two tests into what should be my last...

  18. Nervous about graduating

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    I'm about to go into my last semester of nursing, graduating in December... And I don't feel ready. I just can't quit worrying about EVERYTHING! I worry that I won't be competent, that I'll hurt...

    How kind of

  20. Nervous about graduating

    Exhuasted replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're feeling the stress too but I appreciate that you understand! Instead of just telling me to stop doing what I asked HOW to stop lol I just wonder if this is a common feeling at this...

  21. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Exhuasted replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Oh my word... No. No you are not wrong. She is though. If you're not in the same class then showing her how to study effectively is all you can do, and if she chooses not to apply it that's her...

  22. Giving up my dog

    Exhuasted replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have dogs, cats, and horses. Nursing school has just about killed me, yet I've never once considered getting rid of any of my pets for even a second. They are my therapy. They are what gets me...

  23. When the NCLEX Pearson Vue Trick Goes Wrong

    Exhuasted replied to Ethan, Regular Nurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. Care plan goal/outcome, please help!

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my 4 week rotation of mental health nursing and I need help desperately. We keep one patient through the whole rotation, plus have others that we don't keep the whole time. I have 3 dx for my...

  25. Other students don't think I'm good enough

    Exhuasted posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm finishing my next to last semester of nursing school in 2 weeks, and occasionally other students ask what field of nursing I'm interested in pursuing, and whenever I tell them my interests they...
