  1. All the way to 265!! I feel hopeless!

    I passed with 265, it was 5 years ago so I can't remember what the questions were like. Hang In There until you get the results.
  2. Mock Code Blue Scenerio

    Zombie code blue....go!!!
  3. I have to agree with everyone else. If someone was going to be turning and examining my pt and they needed a suppository I would hate to, but would prob ask them to pop it in since they'd be right there. I have no idea why you are so up in arms over ...
  4. death smells like

    Coffee grounds works wonders, just put some in a cup in the corners of the room. We do that in the ER with our more fragrant pts and it works well.
  5. med/surge or pacu for a new grad

    PACU tends to take ICU and ER nurses not new grads, this is very suspicious. Pacu may seem like a cushy job, one pt at a time, but when the poop hits the fan and you need to start pressers, hang blood, get the pt reintubated, it can be crazy. As a ne...
  6. Dating a former patient

    And I think a lot of people would be feeling different about the situation if she wasn't a psych pt. There's nothing wrong with clicking with a pt, or finding yourself attracted to someone. What you do with those feelings however, can be very detrime...
  7. Dating a former patient

    It would be nice if the op could come back and give some more info.
  8. Dating a former patient

    No one is saying that someone with psych issues doesn't deserve love, they probably need it more than anyone. But someone in the middle of a crisis should not be starting a relationship with her caregiver. And to play devils advocate, what if he con...
  9. Dating a former patient

    And that would be super creepy and also a violation since the only way he knew her name was from her chart. Way too many worms in the can. Not worth opening!
  10. I think it would be very important. And not only to speed through learning ADLs once in nursing school, but more importantly to give perspective nurses a realistic idea of what nursing is. Too many nursing students or new grads only have tv to go by ...
  11. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    If you put it in the Internet it's not a private transaction but a public one, therefore open to scrutiny. At my old job there was a coworker who put a sign up in the break room saying she wasn't asking for hand outs but needed money for EMT school. ...
  12. Dating a former patient

    When someone is sick enough that they are an in patient at a psych facility, it is an absolute certainty that their issues are more severe than just needing a significant other. They have serious, deep rooted issues. Anyone with two brain cells to ru...
  13. Dating a former patient

    I hope that is sarcasm because that is horrible advice. Not only is it unethical, a bf is not the cure for mental illness.
  14. My old hospital had a policy where if you left for whatever reason: fired, quit, retired, etc you were listed as DNR. It's not always a death sentence. If you look on threads here so so so many nurses have been fired, some multiple times. It's not th...
  15. ICU especially hard on back?

    I've done trauma ICU, ortho floor and ER so here's my two cents: ICU: less walking, worst on back due to turning not just your pts every two hours but helping with all the other pts in the pod (usually 6 pts, 3 nurses). Then add in full baths and co...
