  1. Manager is sabotaging my future :(

    If he's repeatedly being a bad reference, I would refrain from jotting him down as one. Don't you have more than one manager? We have two in the night and two in the morning. How about your Nursing Supervisor, can he or she be a reference for you?
  2. WWYD?

    BluemorningGlory you obviously don't like this guy, and you'd love to sabotage his nursing goals. CNA and nursing school have BCI's and this guy seems to have gotten through one of them. People like you that cause trouble and back stab others in t...
  3. Why are people so ignorant?

    Sounds like she's just jealous. Screw her and her judgements. You do nursing, if that's your desire.
  4. Doesn't matter if it was placed in his NG or he swallowed it. If the NGT is at continous suction the KCL is just going to be sucked back up into the cannister. You would need to clamp the NG tube. ^^ That is a given to me.
  5. Do you have to be above passing or just passing standard?

    My friend failed the first time at 265, but passed the second time at 265. I passed the first time at 80s, wasn't certain whether I passed or not, it was so mind boggling. I guess I'm confused at your question though. If one passes the passing le...
  6. I'm guessing the PO KCL was administered via the NGT.
  7. How do you talk to doctors on the phone?

    I make sure I have all the petinent information I need, prior to calling the doc. I would have the chart with me, patient's medication list, vital signs (if pertinent), and the patient's labs up on the computer already. I am not the one to take ver...
  8. Transitioning from Dialysis to Med Surg

    OP, Imo you just described med/surg. We have the same issues, if not more.
  9. Kindred Sub-acute Care Facility background check ques?

    I didn't know some facilities did credit checks.
  10. Pharmacology: Which Drugs?!

    Our clinical instructors handed us a printed list of meds we needed to make drug cards on, the beginning of the semester. Depending on what subject we were going over in class, I'd focus on those.
  11. Oh yeah, love the 12 hour shifts, because you get the 4 days off. I have to admit, sometimes 4 days doesn't seem like enough. I was surprised when I found out in nursing school that we work 12 hour shifts. Most shifts, the 12 hours go by pretty fa...
  12. I would have to say half of the time is charting/documenting in the computer. Ugh, it takes up so much time, but will come in handy to protect your butt. Shift starts off with a 30 min report. Claim med cart, briefly look at your patients. I pref...
  13. Uniforms

    I hate them, hunter green everyday. Not to mention, not flattering at all. Luckily, I recently found some better shaped ones. The others look like a potato sack. I wish we could at least wear whatever color we want, with flowers and what not.
  14. Should I be worried?

    What a douche. I work nights, and some medications have to be physically placed in the med cart, so the only option is to document not given due to unavailable, etc. I don't think it's a reason for her to have written you up. I agree with the other...
  15. Pregnancy: Before or After Nursing School

    I began the nursing program when my son was only 7 weeks old. Luckily, he was a good baby, and my mother helped me out a lot. It wasn't hard at all.
