  1. (Manual BP) Can't find systolic through palpation. What am I doing wrong?

    Erythropoiesis replied to dumb_'s topic in General Students

    Pump up VERY slowly or it's easy to pump right through the point where you feel the systolic stop. You need to be going slowly enough to where you can feel everything as you pump up and feel the...

  2. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Erythropoiesis replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school and I don't even have the energy to cook half the time. The good news is that if your personal response to stress is to just not eat, it works

  3. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Erythropoiesis replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you needed a

  4. Thinking about giving up on nursing school

    Erythropoiesis replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Oh please don't put your life and YOUR financial future on hold for a man. Not to sound rude, but you deserve better than that. You say you have the grades. Now go after it. I have health issues too...

  5. He Said I "Act Like I'm In Med School or Something!"

    Erythropoiesis replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    HAHAHAHAHAHA I read that entire thread a few days ago. I honestly had no words, so I didn't comment on

  6. He Said I "Act Like I'm In Med School or Something!"

    Erythropoiesis replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    A comment like that would have gotten ANYONE dropped out of my life so fast they wouldn't even know it happened. Dont dignify it with a response. No response is a powerful

  7. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Erythropoiesis replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work with infants now and believe me, I know just how stinky they can

  8. NEED HELP! LPN or ADN?

    Erythropoiesis replied to nickdanurse2b's topic in General Students

    Community college isnt an "easy" option of going to college. It's the same curriculum, the same material. Most of the time, community colleges are more competitive when trying to get into the program....

  9. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Erythropoiesis replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I LOVE baby head smell! Intoxicating little things. If OP can wait two years, I'll gladly take that understimulating job off her

  10. NEED HELP! LPN or ADN?

    Erythropoiesis replied to nickdanurse2b's topic in General Students

    Do you have the option to retake any of those classes? I just got in to my ADN program and the lowest GPA they accepted this year was a 3.4. It's going to depend on the

  11. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Erythropoiesis replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This was bizarre to read for a few reasons. Take a look around the forum at all the new nurses posting cries for help because they don't know how to manage the sheer weight and stress of their new...

  12. Fired for going to college

    Erythropoiesis replied to Mari1982's topic in General Nursing

    No, not from a waitressing job. Those people arent going to give a second thought about where you worked while you were in

  13. Say What?

    Erythropoiesis replied to blueberrysundae's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a non-healthcare field but it's still busy and I do have to hand off what I'm doing to the other shift sometimes. I'm always very direct and say, "Ok, are you ready?" This is leaves no...

  14. Weed and Nursing School! Help!!!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Sldimuccio12086's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have never been kicked out of school for smoking weed, or at all, so I'm no help here. What I do suggest is that you follow the rules from now on and move

  15. Was this workplace violence? What should I do?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Irving's topic in General Nursing

    I would have reported him the very minute I was able. Document this, and report him before he shoots up a hospital. Come back to us with an update once you have done this. You said he did this in...

  16. Weed and Nursing School! Help!!!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Sldimuccio12086's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, so, what happens when your prospective school simply picks up the phone and verifies your story with your past school? You would have been much more safe to just tell the truth. Now you have...

  17. What is considered "job hopping?"

    Erythropoiesis replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the highest earning RNs I know are self-proclaimed "job hoppers". I don't believe it should be viewed as a character flaw to go from one job to the other due to worthwhile offers. Most...

  18. Not Sure If Nursing is for Me...

    Erythropoiesis replied to mariemonae92's topic in General Students

    This is a good idea. Get to know some nurses. Talk to nurses on this site. Talk to nursing students and find out what their plans are. Talk to your professors and ask them if THEY felt like this...

  19. Not Sure If Nursing is for Me...

    Erythropoiesis replied to mariemonae92's topic in General Students

    It seems like you already answered your own question and now you're looking for approval. This is a decision that is 100% yours to make. Lots of people aren't passionate about nursing, but there has...

  20. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    Erythropoiesis replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Practice saying this: "Nope, sorry." End of sentence, point blank period. You are well on your way to establishing yourself as the pushover, if you haven't already. Your coworkers aren't being...

  21. Classes like A and P along with the nursing courses?

    Erythropoiesis replied to MichaelMJT's topic in General Students

    I'm taking A&P 2 with Fundamentals this semester, and it should be very doable. I can't imagine why your school would let you in a nursing program without having even the first A&P

  22. Being called an idiot

    Erythropoiesis replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doctors are example numero uno that money can't buy happiness. Miserable

  23. Being called an idiot

    Erythropoiesis replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Which path should I take?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Alicee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is a pre-nursing

  25. Are Five Alternatives to ADHD Medication Right For You Or Your Child?

    Erythropoiesis replied to brenanpeak's topic in General Nursing

    Why, of all forums, would you come to a professional nursing forum with this? I have ADHD, have my whole life, and I chuckled to myself the entire time I read your post. Please. What works for some...
