1. Nurse chatting/dating patient

   CaitlinAnn replied to springgarden's topic in Relations

   I agree with the above. No, don't do it. Ever.

2. What would the Easter bunny put in a nurses basket?

   CaitlinAnn replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

   I just want an awesome (pink) stethoscope. And an automatic BP wrist cuff so I am never without.

3. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

   CaitlinAnn replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

   Seems like a HUGE med error to me. We're being told to check our Drug Guides every time we go to give a med, because our licenses will be on the line, not the MD's. So make sure you are giving the medication in the right amount dose, route, pt., et...

4. You're TERRIBLE at IV starts?? omg!

   CaitlinAnn replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

   I just learned how to do IVs yesterday in school. So far they terrify me.

5. Scared to be a nurse

   CaitlinAnn posted a topic in General Nursing

   As the title says, I'm scared, no terrified, to be a nurse! I graduate this July and assuming I pass my boards, I can then begin working as an LPN. What scares me most is messing up and feeling like I won't know what to do. I know that most of a n...

6. Dear New Nurse - what makes an average nurse great.

   Great post! I graduate in July, and I'm really glad I read this.

   Welcome! I'm semi-new myself and do more lurking than posting.

8. inappropriate work attire

   CaitlinAnn replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

   I guess its a matter of how much they bother you. Boobs don't bother me regardless of where I'm at. As nurses, or nurses-to-be, why should they/would they bother us?

9. inappropriate work attire

   CaitlinAnn replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

   Well then I would talk to her superior. What else can you really do? Regardless of what profession you work in. You could confront her, but that would probably cause more problems than you want.

10. inappropriate work attire

    CaitlinAnn replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Shouldn't it be written in your clothing attire guidelines you probably got when hired? I don't mean to be blunt or rude, but usually those are handed out and given to the employee upon being hired in any profession. Whether they're trying to attra...

11. Nursing vs. Accounting.

    CaitlinAnn replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    I'd choose nursing. I took two days of an accounting class and dropped out..couldn't stand it. I love nursing though. There is a lot of problem solving involved which appeals to me. Depending on what area of nursing you go into, your patient inte...

12. Did you always know you wanted to be a nurse?

    CaitlinAnn replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse, yet, but I am in LPN/LVN school, and *fingers crossed* should be an official LPN by late 2011. I didn't realize I wanted to pursue nursing until after I took my CNA course. I wanted to do history, international studies, or anthropolog...

13. Galen College

    CaitlinAnn replied to krltdy's topic in Kentucky

    I am in my first quarter of the LPN Day program at Galen, and am absolutely loving it! So glad to see other students here too. :)

14. Please review my resignation letter!

    CaitlinAnn replied to chuburna's topic in General Nursing

    Wonderfully done!

15. Help! Which job should I take?

    CaitlinAnn replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in School

    I would sit down and make a list of pros and cons and choose whichever will benefit me the most in the long run.
