1. Does Oxygen need to be prescribed?

   BrynnLeann replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

   Where I am at, the policy & procedure manual lets nurses put 2L np on no problem. In case of an emergency (imminent code blue/code 25), we put oxygen on as high as it goes. In other cases, the doctor usually writes an order such as "Keep O2 sats ...

2. What are the top 5 medications YOU administer daily?

   BrynnLeann replied to northmississippi's topic in Medications

   Metoprolol, Nexium, ASA, Atorvastatin, Ventolin.

3. trouble pronoucing some medical words

   BrynnLeann replied to aflac381's topic in General Students

   No one gets fired for pronouncing a word wrong, that's ridiculous. I always have to think the word "tachypnea" over and over before I say it - I always get tripped up! The worst thing that could happen is someone will look at you funny and correct yo...

4. mean clinical prof

   BrynnLeann replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

   There isn't a lot of information here. If you are near the end of your education (4th year here) and you can't get a blood pressure on the first try - unless they are other confounding factors - the prof might be right in giving you a strike. Howev...

5. New Grad RN, 17 weeks pregnant with upcoming interview

   BrynnLeann replied to skschultzRN's topic in New Nurse

   I'm not sure about the United States, but I know in Canada that not hiring someone because they are pregnant is discrimination and definitely not allowed.

6. Nursing student taking drugs

   BrynnLeann replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   If you just nurse without questioning the rules and why they are there, you will end up being a terrible nurse and patient advocate.

7. Nursing student taking drugs

   BrynnLeann replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

   If a person wants to do drugs on their own time, it's none of my business and I could care less. If they were high at clinicals, I would tell the instructor because I think it's a dangerous position for the patient. However, if they want to be stoned...

8. Stress!!!!!!

   BrynnLeann replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

   I find that a lot of nursing students, in my class any way, are very anxious and overly perfectionist (including me!). Learn to breathe, relax, and don't work past your own threshold. Not everything has to be perfect. Remember that your own health...

9. Course Load

   BrynnLeann replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

   Okay, I'm thinking that our classes are more than likely quite different, but I've taken human physiology and I've taken intro to microbiology, and I'm taking pharmacology right now. Micro and Pharm were pretty easy, human physiology was quite a bit ...

10. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    BrynnLeann replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with this rant about Nursing Care Plans, I found them absolutely ridiculous. While in our maternity rotation, we had to do a "wellness diagnosis" for a lady who states she is ready to breastfeed. We had to do a whole write up for t...
