1. Failed my drug test and I'm pregnant

   ianurse replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, everyone! Still trying to get this ironed out. I returned to my OB on Monday, to find the second test to be positive as well. We agreed to a repeat testing with a different lab. It was done but I won't find out the results until this week's appoi...

2. Failed my drug test and I'm pregnant

   ianurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Was admitted to antepartum at 26 weeks due to elevated b/p, light spotting, and contractions. Things settled down, but noticed that the nurses treated me strangly. After being kept for about 26 hours, my Dr. came in to release me. He sat on the edge ...

5. Online License Renewal Anyone?

   ianurse replied to johnboy's topic in General Nursing

   I renewed this way this year. Much less painful! Our state has a survey you have to fill out if you've changed jobs/positions. I had but got out of that by renewing this way.

6. Question about moving (husband in military).

   ianurse replied to tlt's topic in General Nursing

   I have been in the same situation myself. I graduated school in one state, and took boards in the state where he was transferred to. The main thing about moving is when you move you need to make sure you place your license on inactive status, and f...

7. Where would you live? (Pretty long)

   ianurse replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks to everyone who responded to this post, and offered some valuable points to ponder. Just by what's on the notebook at this time, it's definitely swaying toward the inherited house. I think we will at least try it for awhile, and after we sel...

8. Holiday gifts for Coworkers....Help!!

   ianurse replied to Thunderkat's topic in General Nursing

   One thing that is suddenly popular at my facility is those little things that go on your pocket or waistband to hold stethoscopes. Perfect idea for one of my CNA's whose scope ends up lost at least 5 times a night!

9. Where would you live? (Pretty long)

   ianurse replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

   That I forgot to mention. If I don't live in the inherited house, it reverts back to my father. So I don't get anything if it just rents, but I don't have to worry about taxes etc. either.

10. Where would you live? (Pretty long)

    ianurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have inherited a house in a small town (pop. less than 10,000). This is where I was born, and where my family still lives. The problem is the only place in town that hires RN's is the local hospital. You are doing well to make 14.00 to start the...

11. Input--I've had tingling/blurred vision????

    ianurse replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    I would oh course rule out the major things that you have listed already. I also have had this trouble this week. I had a miscarriage in July, and my Dr. is thinking possibly mine is hormone related. I had typical CVA symptoms, weak/tingling R side...

12. What would you do????

    ianurse replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought I should clarify that the person I dubbed as a friend is a different nurse entirely that also works there. To make a long story short, the only change that has happened in the last few days is: this nurse left the floor, said she wa...

13. New grad's experience with older nurses in their workplace and vice versa

    ianurse replied to Pati's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN for almost 3 years. I have found 3 types of older nurses: 1.those that really want to help younger nurses learn and are competent with their skills and also enjoy learning from the new grads 2. those that don't want anything to do wi...

14. What would you do????

    ianurse replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and have you ever noticed that the worst nurses always seem to be the management and some DR's favorites? Maybe that has something to do with their crappy attitudes. Anyways, I went back to this nurse and asked her in what context this discuss...

15. What would you do????

    ianurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been working in a small town ER (not in the same town that I live) for about 10 months. Recently, a nurse cornered me outside on break and said: I've got some info for you, you can take it, twist it, whatever you want to do with it. Two of the...
