  3. IV in an artery

    This did happen to me once. Nice big juicy vein, easy stick. But when I tried to run my meds the pump kept beeping occlusion. I unhooked it, flushed, but if I released the flush it pushed back. Bright red blood. It was an artery. Pulled it out and st...
  4. Exhaustion..leg aches...and nausea

    I've been working for about a month now and I've had a couple instances where by about 1700 my legs start aching mildly. I get off at 1930 and by the time I get home my legs hurt so bad it is miserable to walk, my head pounds and I'm nauseas. Too nau...
  5. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    There's a lot of changes going on with the RN program this semester and on top of the girl that usually does all that stuff in the office left after last semester so I'm sure things are hectic right now I'm not sure if they've replaced her yet. I kno...
  6. New Grad Endorsement

  11. 1st semester expectations

    I thought first semester wasn't too bad. The hardest thing about it is getting used to the volume of studying and learning how to write care plans. I remember writing my first care plan....it felt like it took all night. By the end of 4th semester it...
  12. Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    I wiped many bootys as a CNA. When I went to school to be an RN....I wiped many bootys. As a postpartum nurse probably won't need to wipe many unless mom needs help changing nappys. But it is my job as a nurse to be sure my patients are all clean, he...
  13. Keep or sell OB textbook?

    I finished school and have sold most of my text books. I'm going to be working on a Mother/baby unit and am having trouble deciding whether to sell my Maternal-Child Nursing text or if I should keep it for reference. It's not like I'm going to carry ...
  14. How does a Versant Residency work?

    I have another question. I know it might be different for other hospitals, but in your experience how far in advance did you get your schedule? I know on the floor you work with a preceptor and you generally work their schedule, but how often did you...
  15. Mother/Baby Brain Sheets

    I'm starting work on a mother/baby unit in September. I'll be caring for couplets as well as gyn surgical recoveries. Does anyone have a brain sheet for this type of department they wouldn't mind sharing? Or ideas of what is important to have on one ...
