  2. What to say?

    TexasPediRN replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you need to write her up as well as have a talk with the NM about her. I think you need to tell her that you expect her to perform her job and to not leave things undone. That you all...

    TexasPediRN replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated nursing school when I was 21 years old - for the last 2 years of nursing school I worked at least 2-3 shifts a week as a student nursing assistant. If I did not have clinical or class the...

  4. Missing Clincials??

    TexasPediRN replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a thought.. There are different clinical schedules at each school. Some students could have clinical Mon/Wed, others Sat/Sun. If you let the instructor know in advance, you may be able to switch...

  5. Did you see this on the Today Show?

    TexasPediRN replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wasnt going to respond until I saw their website.. I think that volunteering is one thing, but asking for donations is a whole other category. Yes, you are going to get many donations such as...

  6. Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

    TexasPediRN replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

  7. ever use a 'Zaky'?

    TexasPediRN replied to wee one rn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My hospital got a donation of them about 1 month ago. I dont think we've used any. I think they are the oddest things ever!!! They look so funny and I cant imagine giving a child a "hand" to lay...

    TexasPediRN replied to PatricksRNMommy's topic in Nursing Career

  14. What brand/type of shoe should I get?

    TexasPediRN replied to opal6779's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add another brand into the mix of our favorite shoes.. I have an addiction to Easy Spirits. When I wear them, I feel like I am walking on a cloud - no painful feet for me after a 12 hour...

  15. Took Nclex RN Stopped at 90. WUT R MY CHANCES OF PASSING?!?!?!

    TexasPediRN replied to Optimus1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just remember, the number of questions you get has nothing to do with your ability to pass/fail. Also, nobody feels good about their NCLEX after they take it! You can pass/fail with 75, 265, or any...

  19. Houston Nursing Schools

    TexasPediRN replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ok question... Can't you just retake the HESI??? Why change schools?? Most of the time, if you change schools you have to complete a certain number of credits there before you can graduate. IE) you...

  20. Delegating and still having to do everything myself.

    TexasPediRN replied to november17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just a comment.. You are still a student. So, for an LPN, a nurse, to be taking assignment/orders from a student is kind of odd to me. We were never allowed to delegate until we were a nurse. Your...

  21. What is in your lunch box?

    TexasPediRN replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    *grins* Everybody at work thinks this too... I save my snacks for when I am home!! Candys/Cookies give me quick energy, but I loose it, well, quickly! I'd rather have a steady stream of energy at...

  22. Help on pedi assessments

    TexasPediRN replied to rds007's topic in Pediatric

    Yes, that fast heart rate! Its actually easier to get a babies heart rate when they are calm, or if they are sleeping. My trick to it was (if the baby was awake), so smile and talk to them while I...

  23. Leaving it at work - Germs

    TexasPediRN replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in General Nursing

  24. What is in your lunch box?

    TexasPediRN replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    My lunch varies- Tuna fish sandwich, leftovers, soup, chicken pot pies (the only frozen meal I ever bring), chef salad with eggs, etc. Snack wise - I get "low on energy" around 10am. I slice up an...
