    Nurses who have been practicing 2+ years... Do you think you could pass the NCLEX?

    beachynurse replied to GammaReyMysterio's topic in General Nursing

    Bwahahaha, absolutely not! After 37 years of Nursing, and the different method of testing it would be an epic fail! Real life nursing has totally taken over, and the Nursing School way of doing things...

    beachynurse replied to Divine Segbemi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Devine Segbemi, I am honestly not trying to be picky, I'm trying to give you some constructive criticism for the future. You must be a very smart student in order to graduate from high school at 15....

    Nurse lying to the BON about their past

    beachynurse replied to getanapple's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hope that your friend is aware that those online background checks are not accurate? There might be another person with the same name and they pull the information from there simply because it's the...

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up near a state psychiatric hospital on Long Island called Pilgrim State, and on the property was a building that was called Edgewood. After the facility closed down, the buildings remained for...

    beachynurse replied to Emergent's topic in School

    A substitute nurse in our division, is going to fill in for the nurse in all aspects. We have a sub manual in each school that will tell you a little about each clinic and how it's run, who is who in...

    Where are my rights?

    beachynurse replied to RNAnonMisc's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm really sorry, but I really don't think that your comment was necessary. We are supposed to be lifting each other up and helping each other. I really think if it was that big a deal to you, you...

    Unregistered patients

    beachynurse replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in Addictions

    I would personally be very concerned. If they are discharged from the facility, and no longer patients they should not be getting care unless your facility has an outpatient program. All clinical...

    Students lying about you

    beachynurse replied to Incognito-lpn's topic in School

    Now, I haven't had kids outright lie about me or the clinic. Misrepresent, yes.. But the parents, that's another story. I have had them outright lie about what one of us had done on more than one...

    Back to School Night

    beachynurse replied to RNwhohasgoats's topic in School

    I'm in a high school, so I don't go. The parents at this level are so not interested in the clinic. They just want to see the teachers and go home. I came twice and never saw a parent, so I stopped...

    Faking sick

    beachynurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    sigh, I wish I could just send them back to class. My kids are extremely entitled. They request to call their parents, and we are not allowed to deny the call. They tell the parents what they feel is...

    BP Cuffs - standard or electronic

    beachynurse replied to linda1959's topic in School

    I prefer the old school way with a cuff and stethoscope. I feel they are more accurate, and they don't have to be calibrated all the

    Hope for bullying?

    beachynurse replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. In my first hospital job, the older more experienced nurses were just awful. If they liked you, you were allowed in "the group" if they didn't they went for your jugular. A girl I...

    School nurse interview

    beachynurse replied to futureRN09's topic in School

    Hi Mickey9700 That was some pay cut, but mentally it was worth it. I was a manager in the skilled department of a home care agency. I had worked for that company for 18 years before the move....

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I never claim to know more than any other person, however, I am very familiar with this particular medication. I take it, my children take it, and as a school nurse, I administer it to several...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily, but if the requests continue and the unit continues to change his assignments and he is qualified to do the job, he may be able to claim harm to his professional reputation, ability...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    It does NOT have this effect with driving. This person does not know anything about Adderall. I have serious ADD/ADHD, it is rampant in my family. If I don't take my Adderall on a daily basis, people...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    Ummm, Adderall should not make you sleepy. If properly prescribed and dosed, it is supposed to help with focus and attention, but if you are totally exhausted, it's not going to help that. It wouldn't...

    Nurse Arrested For DUI, Sober But Exhausted After 12 hr COVID Shift

    beachynurse replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I do have sympathy for her. They did not have a breathalyzer in order to see if there was any alcohol on her breath, to be followed up with another one done prior to her being booked at the jail. If...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    This is where the hospital needs to walk a tightrope. They need to make sure that they don't violate the nurse's rights, and also ensure that they meet the patients needs. Personally, I do not...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    beachynurse replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    I find this absolute rejection of male nurses in Ob to be a sexist and discriminatory one. You won't accept a male nurse, but you will accept a male MD to deliver.

    School nurse interview

    beachynurse replied to futureRN09's topic in School

    I wouldn't get my hopes up to be disappointed, but it's worth trying. I know my school division will only look at your full time work experience and not consider part time or per-diem work. But once...

    Can Non-Licensed Individual Supervise RN and LVN?

    beachynurse replied to Nonie76's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am, which does make things difficult sometimes. I am a school nurse and my direct supervisor is an administrator with absolutely zero medical experience or knowledge. It can make for some...
