  1. scared to do peds rotation

    TexasPediRN replied to kelly2006's topic in Pediatric

    There shouldnt be any problem giving peds meds, just make sure you double check your dosages!! I did want to add a thought though about the starting IV's and dont take this the wrong way, but no...

  2. Starting peds clinicals tuesday! Any advice?

    TexasPediRN replied to student_girl's topic in Pediatric

    I suggest going through the pediatric thread and reading some posts that pertain to yours. Peds can be a scary place- not just for you, but for the child as well as their parent(s) who may or may not...

  3. Looking for nurses to shadow!!!

    TexasPediRN replied to yeepers's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm not in that area, but I do know that you will need to go through the nurse recruiter at a hospital. Nurses cant just bring anyone to work with them- you'd need permission from HR (im assuming) I...

  4. We sooo need a sticky....NCLEX test stopped at 75...I failed? I passed?

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

    Thank you.

  5. Question on Chemistry class requirement for BSN

    TexasPediRN replied to texancanadian's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would think the best way to find out if this class is sufficient at all 3 schools would be to call the schools themselves and ask. This way you'll know for sure if you can transfer that course over....

  6. nclex rumors. true or false?

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

    I havent heard this and cannot find anything on the internet about it. With that being said, NCLEX is starting to have many new format questions, but most students only have gotten one or two of...

  7. Getting Frustrated

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

    A&P was a frustrating class for me as well. Does your book come with a CD? If so it will include models and teach you all the names of the bones. I was much better at using a CD and/or real...

  8. Thinking about nursing... can you help??

    TexasPediRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    You posted some great questions.. About the all whites- I dont think there is anything against it, but it depends on the facility that you work in . You also have to remember that different floors...

  9. We sooo need a sticky....NCLEX test stopped at 75...I failed? I passed?

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

    ! My first job paid 18.75..hehe.. And I cant imagine a paper and pencil NCLEX- I even have a PDA because I hate flipping though dictionaries to look up terms/drugs!! NO paper and pencil for me......

  10. Just some general NCLEX questions

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

    I was always told you should take the NCLEX within 3 months of graduation. The more you are on the floor as a graduate nurse, you become more aquainted with "real world nursing" as opposed to...

  11. Job Application

    TexasPediRN replied to mjscan_07's topic in Nursing Career

    Online applications should always be followed up with a phone call. I think 2 weeks, (even 1), is sufficient and that you should call to let them know that you are still interested in the job that...

  12. We sooo need a sticky....NCLEX test stopped at 75...I failed? I passed?

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

    i do appreciate your post, but i feel i should add there is a big difference between the needing encouragement threads, and the threads that deal strickly with the number of questions the person...

  13. We sooo need a sticky....NCLEX test stopped at 75...I failed? I passed?

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

    So apparently I'm the only one who agrees.. Before I get Flamed, all I am saying is that yes, I do agree to dutchgirlRN's idea that there should be a sticky titled something along the lines of "NCLEX...

  14. We sooo need a sticky....NCLEX test stopped at 75...I failed? I passed?

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

    I think the title should be 75, 265, or any number in between! Now that covers all bases.

    Oh

  16. Advice on Resumes

    TexasPediRN replied to Jenny C's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Actually, you do have medical experience! You did clinicals, didnt you? Thats experience, and can be placed on your resume. If you're graduating this May you should of had experience in different...

    TexasPediRN replied to Stellar84's topic in Home Health

    Bloomsburg University...good old PA right? (unless there is a Bloom U somewhere else).. I do private duty nursing, but Im going to answer your questions regardless of that fact. A main issue...

  19. hello kitty scrubs

    TexasPediRN replied to ortizgi's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I agree

  20. hello kitty scrubs

    TexasPediRN replied to ortizgi's topic in General Nursing

    Most character scrubs are only tops- they dont make bottoms for them. If you want bottoms, you may have to sew them yourself! I've only ever seen one pair of character pants. And by the way, and...

  21. job titles

    TexasPediRN replied to Kelky's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not sure about resource and registry, but I can explain PRN and Per Diem. For me, PRN and Per Diem were pretty much the same thing. To work PRN means you either come in on days they are short...

  22. Question...

    TexasPediRN replied to trishka's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    How about Newborn Nursery (healthy babies) or a Mother-Baby unit(still newborn but stay with mom throughout stay). Thats kind of a postpartum/nursery

  23. Thinking of a career in nursing-- Need some info!

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

    Check out http://www.discovernursing.com Its a site from Johnson & Johnson, and it may give you some infomation that you need. There are different 'types' (and I use the term loosely), of...

  24. Severe Concerns..or over reacting?

    TexasPediRN replied to blueapples's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters. If you werent trained and are now expected to do things on your own- get out of there and find a place to train you properly! you could have really hurt your back...

  25. School project - PLEASE HELP!!

    TexasPediRN replied to RedHeadRN2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you live near a nursing home, or have clinicals in one, you could try those people there. I'd call up the nusing home and explain what you need to do, and get permission to go. Good luck
