    I failed a nursing course, should I go back?

    quiltynurse56 replied to Nurse Pure-Spring's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I can say is that now you know where you need to focus the second time around. You can start reviewing these items in your books and lecture notes now before you start the class

    Nclex

    quiltynurse56 replied to Tisha.lr4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is no way you can compare where it stopped for and stopped for others to determine whether you might have passed or not. If it stops at 85, you either totally bombed it or you excelled. Best...

    Scope of practice

    quiltynurse56 replied to kfbris's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The only caution I would give is to make sure that if you have not done something, to become trained on the procedure first. Pretty much the only thing we aren't suppose to do is Admission...

    I failed a nursing course, should I go back?

    quiltynurse56 replied to Nurse Pure-Spring's topic in General Nursing

    Go back. It is hard to fail a class, I have. Write down the disease and then put down signs and symptoms, both obvious and not so obvious. What would you assess? Yes, give us an example and let...

    quiltynurse56 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    You are new to the job and right now you are learning it as well as being new to nursing. When I work LTC, I will make out a schedule of what I need to do when. Not detained but general. I would...

    Scope of practice

    quiltynurse56 replied to kfbris's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We have a pretty wide scope of practice in Texas. More things here than what I could do in Iowa. If you look at the Scope of Practice of LVN's on the board's website, you will see that it is pretty...

    Ah, you posted at 12:52 the question and then at 12:53 you posted that it was a waste of time as no one had answered. Not sure you know had forums work, but you need to give people more than one...

    Lpn in long term care

    quiltynurse56 replied to NurseSav92's topic in General Nursing

    Management varies in facilities. When questioned about something that happened when you were not there, just tell them that you did not work that day. They can check the schedule they need

    Resume - Applying out of state but not relocating??

    quiltynurse56 replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    I think places that are near state borders recognize that people are going to cross state lines for work. Where I lived before, nurses were living in one state and working in the next

    Glasses for working

    quiltynurse56 replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    Get whatever glasses you really like. Use the strap if you are having problems with them falling off the face. I do want to add, that many of the times glasses fall of is because they aren't adjust...

    quiltynurse56 replied to Alex Egan's topic in Private Duty

    I know I would suggest getting off of that schedule. I also had one kid who didn't sleep well at night where cartoons were on all night.

    Did you leave bedside nursing?

    quiltynurse56 replied to NurseMegIBCLC's topic in Nursing Career

    I have left bedside nursing for PDN Pediatric nursing. I do not feel any less of a nurse doing this than I did being bedside. It is very rewarding to be part of their total care team. You get to...

    Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    quiltynurse56 replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    Since the parents were watching this with the child in the room, I am going to guess they watch these kinds of things at home too. Probably the family culture. While we may disagree with it, are we...

    Nurses don't do their 3 med checks?

    quiltynurse56 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    CBD oil

    quiltynurse56 replied to Mariatvillanueva's topic in Private Duty

    In most states, CBD oil is not legal, therefore, physicians can not prescribe it. That is why they will tell you they can't prescribe it, but won't stop someone from using it. Therefore, we as nurses...
