1. Drug Seeking Patients

   Quinnbee replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, and sadly, I'm learning that very quickly. Luckily I have a great team that I work with, and my unit has been a very supportive environment. Which is probably the only reason why I'm still at this facility.

2. Drug Seeking Patients

   Quinnbee replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

   Generally, I don't give IV pain meds once my patients are out of their acute pain stage. If they've just come out of surgery, I'll give IV for the first few hours, until their pain is under control, then transition to PO for the duration of their sta...

   Quinnbee replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the advice, you guys, I sometimes find it hard to disengage, but I think it's definitely something I need to start working on. It's especially difficult when I get one or two demanding patients that take up most of my day, and by the time ...

4. Drug Seeking Patients

   Hi all! So this is going to be a rant slash plea for advice. I've been working as an RN for about 6 months now, and my patient population has really been terrible as of late. I work on a fairly busy med surge floor, and recently, it feels like every ...

5. Resume after quitting.

   Quinnbee replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you guys for the advice. In the two months that I was at the facility, I feel like I really strengthened a lot of my nursing skills, and I want to be able to put that forward if I am called for an interview. Like @TX.RN.Shannon said, I don't wa...

6. Resume after quitting.

   I recently quit my first LPN job at a LTC facility due to unsafe work conditions. If you'd like to read the whole story, please refer to my prior posts. There were so many things that added up to my decision to quit, but ultimately, the management, s...

7. Was this unsafe?

   Oh I did! Waking up this morning, I felt such an immense relief at the thought that I would never have to go back to such an unpredictable place.

8. Was this unsafe?

   Quinnbee replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you guys for the support, as this is my first nursing job, I wasn't sure if this was the norm for everyone in LTC. Something in me kept telling me that this wasn't a good place to work, but I wanted to at least get some sort of nursing experien...

9. Was this unsafe?

   Quinnbee posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello! I've recently started working at a LTC facility as a new grad LPN for about a month or so. We work 12 hour shifts, and most of the time, I work mornings, but I decided to try out night shifts a few days ago. A little background about the facil...

    Hi guys! So, I took my HESI A2 Entrance Exams yesterday and I was able to pass all the sections that were required of me. I just figured that I'd post some of the things that helped me succeed. I put off taking the HESI for the longest time because I...

    I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links on here, but for Math, I used for metric conversions because I knew literally nothing about it beforehand. I also used https://quizlet.com/54064792/hesi-a2-measurement-conversions-flash-cards/ for unit co...

13. Retaking the HESI Entrance Exam.

    Quinnbee replied to petagayle's topic in HESI

    When you were taking the test, what concepts were harder for you to remember or work with in the Math and A&P sections? I didn't take the Bio or Chem sections, so I'm not sure how to help with those.

    Quinnbee replied to petagayle's topic in HESI

    I'm sorry that you didn't pass, I know that it can feel horrible to study so hard, and not do very well. I took my HESI yesterday after studying for 2 days and I was able to pass, thank God. What were your individual scores? I may be able to give you...
