  1. Asking for help...

    kaitsmama posted a topic in School

    First, I want to commend all of you for what you do as school nurses. Second, I want to ask for your help. My daughter's class is using communal supplies. As a nurse, I am nauseated to think that the...

  2. Asking for help...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in School

    The teacher took up all of their personal supplies that we had to send (crayons, scissors, glue, folders, notebooks, etc.) Dumped them into tubs that the children all access. So, not only is this...

  3. Lets do this differently for a change.

    kaitsmama replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    As a recent grad that is currently in orientation I felt the need to reply... I started my orientation with a very young RN that was very happy to share all the gossip about who I could trust and who...

  4. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    kaitsmama replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry, but a single anecdotal case does not prove that universal health care would be of benefit. In my state, Oklahoma, we have a large population of patients on medicaid that are offered free...

  5. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    kaitsmama replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is very highly dependent upon what area you are from and the norm for the hospitals in that area. I know the norm for my area is that BSN trained nurses do not automatically get a salary increase,...

  6. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought I would feel better, but I know I got the last question wrong. I clicked the answer and then next and wanted to go back as soon as I did, but it went to a blue screen. I wanted to pass on...

  7. Curious--anyone absolutely confident they passed when walking out of NCLEX?

    kaitsmama replied to darthsunshine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can tell you that I felt certain I had failed, and the certain I had passed, then certain I had failed. I really don't think you can tell be the way you feel after you leave. The only person in our...

  8. Tested today 6/6 Nclex RN

    kaitsmama replied to RachelLeeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds about like what I got on Monday. I had one dose calc., lots of priority, some drugs, etc. I passed with 75! I have faith that you will

  9. How many got only 75 questions?

    kaitsmama replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did 75 in less than an hour. I was so certain I had failed! I had one dose calc early on, lots and lots of priority, some diabetes, some pre/post op, critical, some drugs, it was a major mix of...

  10. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OMG, I couldn't wait any longer... I called the board of nursing and asked them to see if I had a license number!! I did! I passed! I am a Registered Nurse! I am so, so, SO, SO HAPPY! I am so happy...

  11. Took My Boards Today (RN)

    kaitsmama replied to DaveLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know I have heard of people passing and failing all the way across the board. If it makes you feel any better, I ended at 75 and feel like I must have failed! If I failed, it was a total tank!...

  12. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just found out that one of my friends did not pass... she had all 265... I feel so bad for her. At the same time, all I can think about is the fact that I feel like I failed. I am a horrible...

  13. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am trying, but when I am able to remember a question, I think, but maybe it was this because... OK, calming down again... I really want to be an RN! I want it more than I have ever wanted anything....

  14. It shut off after 75 questions...

    kaitsmama replied to kaitsmama's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you so much Eric... I thought surely if I missed the last question I was done... It just feels so

  15. I Made It, I Passed My Nclex-rn

    kaitsmama replied to dollface99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations, hope I will be joining you this

  16. will no experience = no job?

    kaitsmama replied to DDD's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can't speak for every geographic location, but I know where I am (Tulsa) lack of experience has not stopped GNs from getting employment. I think many hospitals are willing to spend the time training...

  17. Shoes

    kaitsmama replied to brookelt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I LOVE my Quarks. I have the pro-air model. I don't know what else they have or if any of the others are comfy for a shift, but I really like mine. I, also, am getting a pair of Shox, but I haven't...

  18. Is two weeks from today...

    kaitsmama replied to krystleGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have not taken the exam, yet. I just scheduled today, but I think you should trust your instincts. If you feel you will not study if you wait longer...sooner is probably best. As my friend Sarah...

  19. Red Headed = increased bleeding risk?

    kaitsmama replied to MIA-RN1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a natural red head it is very interesting to read these threads... Personally, I am a bleeder! As a child I would get horrific nose bleeds that would last for hours literally! My menses are so...

  20. Sometimes I hate being the nurse in the family

    kaitsmama replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, you most certainly are not the only one! In fact, when I saw the tag line on this thread I was certain that was what this pertained to... I still have one academic year left in nursing school...

  21. See-thru white scrubs

    kaitsmama replied to blueberry21's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, all that should have earned her was a ticket home and a make-up assignment for the day! I can understand wanting a change in policy, but there are ways to go about enacting change in a...

  22. Describing the immuno compromised as having acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

    kaitsmama replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in General Nursing

    No, that is not how all patients that are immuno compromised are described. Not all immune compromises are acquired. They are not synonymous! You are thinking correctly. Sorry that you were...

  23. Nails question

    kaitsmama replied to Yannie021's topic in General Nursing

    Here is an article about the baby deaths in Oklahoma linked to acrylic nails... http://www.webmd.com/content/article/22/1728_55965.htm That is enough to convince me that I will never have

  24. Putting RN on license plate???

    kaitsmama replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    Not that you asked, but it is not something I would do... Around here the only vanity plates I see are on redneck trucks:chair: (that could probably use the extra money each year on a new exhaust...

  25. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    kaitsmama replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Timothy, Boortz overwhelmingly pushes for a FAIR tax! Stay away from the word "flat" for some reason people are terrified of "flat"...it may have something to do with a fear of being stuck in Kansas...
