   meteorite36 replied to meteorite36's topic in Professionalism

   Please don't be personal, it is not a rant, merely an observation. Yes my CNM took many years of studying. The reason I included the "alphabet soup" as someone described it, was to illustrate irony. I don't feel that I have to list these accredita...

   meteorite36 posted a topic in Professionalism

   At this point I am sure you are wondering exactly what this thread is about. I don't usually initiate a thread, however, I am trying to read an article in ENA "Connection." It is nearly impossible to get through the text due to the infinite listing ...

3. I failed a prereq

   meteorite36 replied to delonghi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would finish the class. Even if you fail, you will still get exposure to the study material which will help you when you retake the class - it is a pre-requisite so I assume you can keep retaking it. If you withdraw from the class I think you wil...

4. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

   meteorite36 replied to luv2's topic in COVID

   Why not blame the government for allowing flights from infected areas to land in the United States? They still refuse to deal with this issue. Secondly, let's blame the airline and their screening policies for allowing this man to fly. They verbal...

   meteorite36 replied to oharnp's topic in NP

   I am an RN so I don't prescribe meds, but I have noticed that if it is really a kidney stone, Toradol works best.

   Congrats. I really admire you. Well done!

7. Written up and confused.

   meteorite36 replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN/LVN

   Your supervisor is not in a position to threaten your license, that is a decision which can only be made by your state board of nursing. She is a bully. Your actions were quite correct and appropriate. I would make a formal complaint about her if ...

8. Start in Postpartum or L&D?

   meteorite36 replied to nurseygurlie's topic in Ob/Gyn

   L&D! You already do the post-partum care in the recovery period following delivery. Try to take a course in Breastfeeding/Lactation Education to round up your skills. Good luck!

9. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

   meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   It would be nice if the nurse practitioners responding here were a little more polite and respectful whatever their opinions of 'nurses'. Ask any doctor, it doesn't pay to **** off the nurses, especially when you are covering the night shift!

10. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think Sanuk makes a good point here.

11. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the level of qualification, there are the good, the bad, and the plain ugly! This problem will escalate as I now meet new nursing grads who would rather work as a tech in the ER, than an RN in a skilled nursing facility. All have pla...

12. Inefficient training at first job, considering quitting

    meteorite36 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Nursing

    First let me congratulate you on taking a job in a nursing home. I work in California and know just how difficult it is to get a new grad. position. That aside, all the new grads I have met seem to think they are too good to work in a nursing home,...

13. Tattoo cover up

    meteorite36 replied to juniorminty's topic in General Nursing

    Move to California - doesn't seem to be a problem here. The Dermablend is worthless, even for a cover up for evening dresses where it is not subjected to water or friction. The wristwatch idea sounds good, and you could always get one of those long...

14. BSN Equivalent

    meteorite36 replied to k.mims's topic in General Nursing

    Excelsior College to an accredited online RN-MSN program. Good luck.

15. Fundus palping

    meteorite36 replied to nurse/midwifekim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, we have computer charting which does both height and position. The charting is efficient but very time consuming!
