  1. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Question, what does sex look like on a monitor? Artifact for sure, but maybe a little v-tach? Also, I feel like this is a slippery slope. What happens when the patient develops chest pain? "Sorry sir, i didn't notice the st elevation because I di...
  2. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    This is against my hospital policy. If they are caught with a roommate in the room at the time we are required to call the police. It is against state law to force a person to observe a sexual act (as I understand it). We had a woman go into a ba...
  3. May 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    I told you I was a s**t magnet!!
  4. The most gruesome situation you've encountered?

    I have to say the most gruesome would have to be a sound for me. At a high school football game a player had his hip dislocated. The popping sound and his screams will always be in my memory. I cannot, however, beat any of the above stories. I see ...
  5. Tucson az, Federal vs State prison?

    I don't know any nurses but I know an officer that loves his job. He works at a jail so it ends up being a lot of new faces and a few guys and gals sticking around for a while. From what I understand nurses are never alone with an inmate and the in...
  6. Fun: Coke or Pepsi Nurses?

    Dr pepper, always. On my honeymoon there was none to be found. I survived, barely.
  7. Just let me be...

    This last week I had to try and explain to an older man the difference between CNA, BSN, ADN, LPN, PA, NP, & MA. I think by the end of the conversation his head was spinning, especially when we tried to tell him we both were RNs with different d...
  8. Starting Salary [new grad]?

    Chicago suburbs 26.95 an hour with 3.50 for nights. BSN new grad starting pay (May '11 grad) and it's down the street and the unit I wanted, ICU. I know one of the big hospitals in rockford start new grads (BSN not sure about ADN) at 24 an hour.
  9. Northern Illinois University

    I would have class/clinical 2 to 3 days a week depending on the track you are in. Some days were from 8-4 (it really depends on the class) with clinical from 7-4. I had clinical once a week at various sites until the end of the program then you go t...
  10. Northern Illinois University

    No kids. I worked part-time during most of the program. I took time off my first track and the last. I lived about an hour away so I spent most of my time driving to and from class. I know many other students who worked and had kids but a full ti...
  11. Northern Illinois University

    Just graduated in May. I had a great experience at NIU. They have some great teachers who love what they are doing. I just got a job as an ICU nurse as a new grad and I think my clinical experience as well as the program were what made them decide...
