    TexasPediRN replied to DCCCRNn2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What goes around, comes around :) It does give you that good feeling those when those things

  2. my inexperience or tooooo many pt's????

    TexasPediRN replied to nursebetty74's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Its both. The fact that you are so new, and the fact that nurses today have to deal with so many patients.. I cant imagine 7 or 8- I have had 6 at the most as a new grad, and that was hard! (but I...

  3. I think we could make a difference, let's do it!

    TexasPediRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    dutchgirlrn- i will surely write a letter! i will put it on my to-do list for this week.. just as a side note, thank you for being willing to teach us young and new rn's. i can honestly say that i...

  4. I think we could make a difference, let's do it!

    TexasPediRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I love the idea of Oprah- She is a very respectable woman whose show draws in a vast number of viewers. People always blame the nurses, and they dont realize how short staffed the nurses are working,...

    TexasPediRN replied to tutusandfrogs's topic in Nursing Career

    i have a littmann lightweight that is wonderful! when you get the cheaper stethoscopes, you get what you pay for. i had 2 cheaper ones- the first one was lighweight, but i couldnt hear out of it. the...

  6. Question on policy for contacting parents (me being the parent)

    TexasPediRN replied to Rohan's topic in School

    My only thought is this: I would want to be notified ASAP. Whether or not there was something visibly wrong with my child, I would want to be told. If they had my cell phone number and an emergency...

  7. What is pediatric nursing? What does it involve?

    TexasPediRN replied to sallygirl2001's topic in Pediatric

    Why thank you nursemelani - I tried my best.

  8. What is pediatric nursing? What does it involve?

    TexasPediRN replied to sallygirl2001's topic in Pediatric

    hope this helped.

  9. Nursing school vs. actually starting nursing

    TexasPediRN replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    In any situation thats abnormal, its best to CYA and notify the doctor. If you are not sure, there are so many other nurses around to help you. I can tell how nervous you sound from everything you...

  10. First Code Today

    TexasPediRN replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Pediatric

    I'm so sorry that happened, and I know that no one can say anything to make you feel better. I've never been in this situation, and dread it ever happening..but I hope that I can offer you some words...

  11. Scared & Confused!

    TexasPediRN replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    Not to long ago, another member posted a question quite similar to yours. The advice that the poster was given, was that please remember that these boards were designed for nurses to vent, as well as...

  12. 75 or 265. what about questions in between?

    TexasPediRN replied to time4mydream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well said

  13. 75 or 265. what about questions in between?

    TexasPediRN replied to time4mydream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kris- The NCLEX is an adaptive test, and if you get a question right, your next question will be slightly harder, and if you get a question wrong, your next question is slightly easier. You will keep...

  14. 75 or 265. what about questions in between?

    TexasPediRN replied to time4mydream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I swear, it goes around nursing school like a bad rumor!! Everybody says: 75 you passed, 265 you failed! If only they knew how wrong they were! Students seem to think that the NCLEX is black and...

  15. Nclex Nightmare

    TexasPediRN replied to MCG25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you are absolutely correct. the NCLEX is an 'interactive' exam. It you answer a question wrong, you will get an easier question then if you answered the question right. The test will continue until...

  16. Would love to hear from someone who is a PRIVATE DUTY NURSE please :)

    TexasPediRN replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Like nursemelani- I do Pediatric Private Duty nursing as well. Its one on one with a variety of kids, a lot of trachs and g-buttons, tons of equiptment, and lots of fun being with only one patient!...

  17. hello plsI need help on my assignment??

    TexasPediRN replied to nathan180's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you cant afford a drug book (which is something that every nurse should have-its essential!), Go online and use the internet. There is webmd.com and discoveryhealth.com They both list all drugs...

  18. Are You Kidding?

    TexasPediRN replied to jennyga's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, LTC isnt good for a new grad- its unsafe and quite frankly dangerous. Most places that I've heard of do give you ALOT of patients, with maybe 1aide to help you. Are you going to school for your...

  19. How Do You Keep Them From Breaking Your Heart?

    TexasPediRN replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    Peds can be hard, but it can also be rewarding. Try not to think of the bad, but the good. Remember that you made this baby happy, and you showed her what love was, something that her mother obviously...

  20. Quitting a nurse tech position...

    TexasPediRN replied to RazorbackRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ah, I see. Now i completely understand your frustration. When I worked as a student nurse aide, I was trained by the aide on the floor at that time, but as I became close with the nurses, they showed...

  21. Quitting a nurse tech position...

    TexasPediRN replied to RazorbackRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunantly, RN's do not train CNA's. I'm sorry that you feel how you do, but I would recommend doing what LoriAlabamaRN said in her post, talk with either you manager or human resources and just...

  22. How do you work thru practice questions from HELL!

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

    I would of chosen A.. My thought was that this was the first time in infiltrated, so I'd start a new IV. If it infiltrated again, I'll call the doctor and request a change to PO. Oh

  23. What can I do while I wait for acceptance???

    TexasPediRN replied to clamaity21's topic in Georgia Nursing

    you say you want to make money and learn at the same time.. Why not take a job as a nurses aide? Or take a CNA (certified nurses aide) course? This way you can work as an aide and get some experience!...

  24. Chiropractors

    TexasPediRN replied to bethem's topic in General Nursing

    I personally love my chiropractor. I have been getting my back adjusted for about 6 years now...and its great. I feel much better when I walk out of the office, and I go for maintence adjustments...

  25. 75 or 265. what about questions in between?

    TexasPediRN replied to time4mydream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The number of questions you get does not determine whether or not you pass. 75 questions can mean you passed, or you failed. The same goes for 265 and every number inbetween. The computer will keep...
