  1. What is the one thing you wish you were told before starting nursing school

    LEN-RN replied to CyberVulpine's topic in General Students

    I agree with the post about personal life. Let your friends and family know that they may not hear from you AS MUCH. My family was in the stone age, I was a stay at home mom, (nothing wrong with that)...

  2. Elder Goldbrickers ?

    LEN-RN replied to dnnc52's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  3. the neverending med pass

    LEN-RN replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thats just it, nursing responsibilities get sidelined and thrown in between. Thats one reason nurses dont take breaks. Its about money. And there is always another unassuming or eager nurse waiting...

    LEN-RN replied to roro13us's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  6. HESI is Wrong ! Let's File Suit

    LEN-RN replied to gasguy1960's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If it wasn't the hesi then it would be the nclex. If not the nclex, its some sort of discrimination for not being hired, or discrimination for being fired. Always somebody elses

  7. Did anyone just do 75 questions on the nclex and fail?

    LEN-RN replied to chris1968's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  10. A Patient Made Me Cry Today

    LEN-RN replied to flightnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Very mad but most of all humiliation

    LEN-RN replied to Orenda's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    LEN-RN replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Those are good tips, but what about the poor patients? :) I do respect cultural differences but body odor usually means not very good hygeine. So if they arent washing themselves, how are they doing...

  19. Lab mnemonics

    LEN-RN replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One common failure is not washing hands. Even though its not required in the lab, it might be a good idea to throw it in. If you have these skills assigned during a PCS, and you go by these, you may...
