  1. Guessing on the nclex

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

    Do you understand though, why the answer you chose is wrong, and why the correct answer is the right one? Dont just do the questions, make sure you understand the rationale behind each answer and why...

  2. Information on nursing care for blind/deaf patients

    TexasPediRN replied to brakabop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  3. Studying meds of patients

    TexasPediRN replied to soulfullady's topic in General Nursing

    I dont see why not. However, if you really dont know a med while you are there, they please look it up before you give it. If you have a PDA with a drug guide on it it would be very useful for you....

  4. Help No Nails Left

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

    First off dont bite the nails off, it can be quite painful if you bite too low.. Secondly, nobody can give you any advice as to if you passed or not. Unfortunantly, thats just not how NCLEX works. Its...

  5. Guessing on the nclex

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

    3 Things: 1. The NCLEX is meant to be a pain in the a$$ test to all. Nobody walks out of the test feeling like they aced it, and mainly everyone thinks they failed it. 2. Its good that you did narrow...

  6. Guessing on the nclex

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

    By guess, do you mean you just randomly picked any answer, or did you guess by trying to narrow down your choices (which im hoping you did). Just remember the number of questions you get doesnt mean...

  8. What do graduate nurses lack?

    TexasPediRN replied to amandahqtpie's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought here, but time management skills. I used to work as an aide before I graduated, and while nurses were in report I had 15-20 patients by myself. After a few months, I was able to be done...

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

    How did you like the museum in general? Just asking because I've only lived in Houston for 6 months and havent yet gotten there, or many other places for that matter! Just curious how you liked it :)...

  14. Confused!!!

    TexasPediRN replied to moorpark's topic in General Nursing

    This depends on which type of RN degree you choose (I know this just adds to the confusion right? ) There are RN with associate degrees, which are 2 years of schooling not including pre-reqs in most...

  15. Stool Question in Children

    TexasPediRN replied to Pinky2's topic in General Nursing

    All I can tell you is that stool should look normal and not like that. I would call your Dr's office again ASAP and ask for the results, as they should have them. If not I would call the hospital and...

  16. waiting is killing me slowly

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

  17. Study help!

    TexasPediRN replied to vivano1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The best way to study for A & P is to learn the material, and not to memorize it for the time being since you will need to know it down the road. Have you tried using flash cards, or computer...

  18. I can't figure out how to get over my anxiety ...

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

    I have never dissected the cadaver either. We did have one day where we went to the cadavar lab to look at one, but we didnt touch it. The cadavers at my school were reserved for other medical...

  19. I made a med error!! (Long)

    TexasPediRN replied to rn-n- 2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunantly, mistakes happen. You did what you were supposed to do; you notified the doctor, and the patient was unharmed. Did you write up the incident report at work? Just remember to check and...

  20. 3 year old with trach/mickey tube (fdg)

    TexasPediRN replied to retired's topic in General Nursing

    You came to the right place! I do peds private duty nursing and trachs and g-buttons are now second nature to me. Elaborate for me though, because I dont understand what you are asking about CPR. You...

  21. Sick...

    TexasPediRN replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Pediatric

    Dont you love kids? They always find a way to get around your precautions to get your sick. I feel for you though- I have bronchitis right now-given to me by a lovely 2 year old who decided to stick...

  22. Pharmacology....OMG!!

    TexasPediRN replied to wannabe2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Dosage Calculations Made Incredibly Easy by Springhouse. I am horrible at Math, and this book worked like a charm for me. I can now do (most) calculations without hesitation or difficulty. Good luck!...

  25. Need advice, being called in to the DON on Tues a.m.

    TexasPediRN replied to Mandylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    All I know is this- an RN cant delegate an assessment to a LVN. Its a big no-no in my book! I wish you luck with your meeting with the DON- but if possible I'd get out of my place. Thats just...
