  1. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    That's what I get for trying to browse at work. I got stuck on the second page. Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    BS. Hell, I've even got personal-use OTC stuff from the pharmacy while I was working. That's what OTC means. No RX necessary.
  3. Nursing Superstitions?

    I work ICU and the last time I said it was quiet at work I ended up having to land a txf from PCU who rolled thru the door in Vfib with a belly full of peritoneal dialysate. Nope. Not saying it again. Luckily they had already been tubed and the inten...
  4. MICU VS SICU

    In my Trauma/SICU we get a lot of closed head injuries which means bolts, paralytics, and frequent neuro checks. We're also the general surgical ICU (we have an 8 bed CV where all the hearts go) so we get lots of open bellies, complex wounds (no majo...
  5. My unit is trialing enclosing the nurses station in glass to help reduce noise. It's actually working, and it looks nice because there aren't obvious seams, besides a few sliding windows like in a doctors office. Well, I'm walking past and my charge ...
  6. Best alarm clock tone for an iphone?

    I like the one that sounds like a def-con/nuclear missile alarm. Definitely enough to get me up and moving!

    I just really love poop. j/k
  8. What do you want for Christmas?

    A doggie! Oh, how I want a dog.
  9. I was just licensed by PA and did not have to disclose anything voluntary. Fortunately I have never been involuntarily committed, but I don't even remember having been asked any questions about that. As everyone else has said it does change from stat...
  10. Fun: Coke or Pepsi Nurses?

    Diet coke or diet dr. Pepper!! But really if its IV just skip all the flavor and give me straight caffeine.
  11. Dumb ways to die ... a video

    That was one of the cutest videos about death I've ever seen!
  12. Unbelievable exam question

    I'm so glad we've never had fill-in-the-blank questions. My teachers base all of tests off the NCLEX test plan, and knowledge level questions like this one are never on them. You're teacher is being ridiculous about the order thing. It's neither head...
  13. What kind of animal are you?

    Honey badger don't give a s**t. I'd probably give my "spirit animal" though, a tiger. Big, orange, and lovely.
  14. How Would You Rate Your Pain????

    I only use the 10/10 scale because of charting, but rely more on the pt's description of the pain. Usually this works well, and I can give them a suitable med from their PRN list, it doesn't work well when the dr decides to prescribe based on the num...
  15. Our terms are broken up into six units, each ending with an exam. Exams are dependent on the number of hours of material presented per subject. It's three questions per hour of material taught. A three hour lecture would have nine questions on that u...
