  1. Finally saw nurse on House

    I love that show!! But if you responded that way, knowing House, He would have told ya to "Giddy up!" or Neigh. LMAO
  2. Should boyfriend help me out?

    thank you stay -- it is so true. I am very proud of you. I know you will be a great nurse!!! My own note --- I did nursing school solo. I paid for it and I am still paying for it on my own. I know that I put not only, my heart -- but my blood, swe...
  3. help!

    It is absolutely possible! I did!!!! I worked full time 9-5 in an office job and I went to school part-time on the evenings and weekends. I will tell it was not easy and I missed out on a lot but the 2 1/2 years it took, it was well worth the sacrif...
  4. Peripheral IV

    It does happen from time to time, that blood will flow back into the IV. Your instructor flushed it with NS to get rid of the blood. If the blood stays there, it will dry and most likely clot off the IV making it not useful (even when the pt is heplo...
  5. A rant: sick time use and policies

    Andre, I couldnt agree more with you! I have sick time at my job as well and I get a strike against me on every day that I take. Average # of days I should be taking a year is 3-5. Any more than that I am considered less than average, and it will ...
  6. Thank you room 88

    Wait a lovely story! This is why I became a nurse and what i strive to be each day. When I get frustrated or doubt my job, I will reflect back to this. Thank you for sharing. :redbeathe
  7. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    Your story reminds me of a guy I had once. I was a new nurse still on orientation and i swear this was the patient that almost made me quit nursing! He had abdominal surgery and sure enough developed complications, such as ileus and CDiff. He too de...
  8. packing a child in ice for a fever of 105 degrees?

    Does this only apply to children? I ask because I work with oncology pts. A few weeks ago, I had a pt actively dying. He was nonresponsive and was placed on comfort care. When pts are on comfort care, we only do vitals q shift. Well, at 8pm he sp...
  9. Fellow RN died this morning.

    Ali -- I am sorry for your loss. You and your friend are in my thoughts and prayers. I currently am working nights, and will think of your friend when I drive home. She will be a great guardian angel to us nurses! Thank you for sharing.
  10. You can help me when you have time

    I think you have every right to be P.O.'d. I would also have reported it to the supervisor. You were not asking her to do anything out of her scope of practice, and she didnt even give you the chance. You sound like the nurse that would have surely h...
  11. Will my feet/legs always feel this way?

    Ya know I too am overweight and need to lose some of it, however, I would invest in those pricey shoes as you call them. They are pricey because they work!! Sorry to say it, but I wear nursemates and they have saved my feet and legs. I would borrow ...
  12. family thinks I'm MD

    Ha! its soo funny how families do that to us. My best friends grandmother has ovarian cancer. she had a CT Scan and her daughters wanted the results read. One was at the MDs appt, the other wasnt. The one that wasnt gave a copy of the report to ...
  13. Who has had the biggest influence on your nursing practice?

    Just want to say thank you to Angie for starting a great topic!
  14. Need Help with Blood Administration

    I am curious to see the answer to that, as well. In my hospital is to do #1. Prime the Y tubing, filter, and remaining tubing with NS. Clamp down the NS Y port and then prime the line with blood. I let the NS run out til the blood is at the end of ...
  15. Who has had the biggest influence on your nursing practice?

    When I was a mere clinical assistant, it was the nurse I worked with who inspired me to be a nurse. She, too, went back to NS later in life and encouraged me to work hard and keep at it. When I had problems figuring out drip rates, she would pull a b...
