   Orthopaedic Certification

   Sassy-RN replied to Apex36's topic in Orthopaedic

   Sorry for the late reply it… No, that is all I use was the book and some modules! For the modules I believe I did areas where I didn’t feel strong in, such as sports injuries, orthopedic oncology, pediatrics and I can’t remember the other one...

   Sorry this happened to you.... But even if the mom was HIV positive the chances of it being transmitted to you is very very low.

   First Code Blue

   Sassy-RN replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

   I think it sounds like a great ending. Most don’t end up that way... Codes will always be a rush of adrenaline and then emotions afterwards. Sounds like you did everything right! You sound like a good nurse to me.

   New RN in charge of a 155 bed SNF. What?!?!

   Sassy-RN replied to FromMNtoCA's topic in Safety

   Glad you put in your notice! Administration doesn’t care about you or your license. Which is obvious on the situation you were just put in. The most unfortunate part is those poor patients that aren’t getting the care they need! I was in a similar...

   Interview with multiple managers

   Sassy-RN replied to kajrn8689's topic in Job Hunt

   They do this where I work. It will seem overwhelming but it’s actually a good thing. While you may not be a good fit for one unit, while another manager would like to snatch you up! Be confident and good luck!

    Can I get Fired?

    Sassy-RN replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    That was a dumb thing to do...and clearly someone else thought so and turned you in. Waste of hospital supplies. I know someone who got fired for using a hospital glucose meter on themselves. Good Luck.

    Yes! Right now hospitals are hiring new grads right out of school for positions in the ED, ICU etc... (which is scary as S#!+ to me). Back in my day people had to work their way up to get in those positions....With EXPERIENCE People that age and ...

    Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

    Sassy-RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We use telehealth monitors at our hospital during stoke codes to get directly connected to a neurologist. My guess is this doctor was a specialist that was consulted due to this man’s condition. He could have died before they found out what his prog...

    Yikes... Patient safety is definite # 1. As the RN circulator its YOUR room. You are the patient advocate. It is up to you to make sure the consents are accurate and complete, timeouts are done properly, be the validator of the counts, and to speak ...

    Sassy-RN replied to Munzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You sound like you are on the right path to me! Keep up the hard work! Make some connections with the healthcare professionals you are working with so you can get some good references.
