   Speculating replied to daisybaby's topic in General Nursing

   Has dawned on you yet that someone higher up in the hospital was looking at your labs (that probable had no legal right too) in order to come across the fact that you had accessed them?

2. Need advice, feeling really bummed :(

   Speculating replied to LIZ07's topic in General Nursing

   It depends is it your fault or an exceptionally hard instructor. If you going to take the same instructor, then by all means finish the class. This way you will know exactly what to expect next time around. You normally get 2-3x max. to get a passing...

   Speculating replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

   Did they tell you if they were or had included administration, secretarial, dietary, custodial, lab and x-ray...in the 12:1 ratio's? I'm thinking from time to time if nursing isn't paying attention they get included in the ratios!

7. Has anyone done this? Became a Paramedic first and then an RN? Is it a good idea ?

   Speculating replied to shehadi's topic in Emergency

   Spend some real-time figuring this one out for you. Where I hail from it would be a serious waste of time almost two years worth. RN's can CLEP out of EMT-P, but EMT-P's can't CLEP RN School. And, even RN's can't CLEP basic EMT

    Speculating replied to prinzessdy's topic in General Nursing

    Size doesn't have a lot to do with it, but you do have to stand up for yourself. Let him know if he drops dead in front of you that you'll have to walk away since he thinks your to small to do chest compression, and even if you start CPR you'll have ...

15. Subclavian DVT

    Speculating replied to flashyrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    That's because we don't have a need to check on the dx cause we're always right. Besides I would hate to have to make you stop and answer the phone you know in between the call lights, filling up water pitchers, passing trays, picking up trays, chang...
