1. Looking to grow and frustrated

   Decitabinequeen replied to kdodge's topic in Oncology

   I'm an oncology infusion nurse by day, and do a casual weekend position in a LTC facility where we see it all. Great "fun money" pay too!!

2. Oxaliplatin

   Decitabinequeen replied to DebKRN's topic in Oncology

   Oxaliplatin is NOT compatible with NS!!! You need to mix it in D5W and have D5W as your primary!!!

3. RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

   Decitabinequeen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Headlines

   Could you share the 9, 20 or 30 rights that are out there. Did you take a pledge to do no harm? Following the rights of safety are meant to keep you from doing no harm

4. Nursing shortage is BS

   Decitabinequeen replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

   I too, feel that the nursing shortage is total BS. Is perhaps the reason you lost your previous job the reason behind the difficulty in finding a new one? Best of luck to you!!

5. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

   Decitabinequeen replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Your information provided is very confusing. Typically, at the half-way point of your RN aspirations, you'd be eligible to sit for the LPN NCLEX. Most do and then continue on to complete their associate degree and sit for the RN NCLEX. Have you no...

6. Help Please! Oncology Infusion or School Nurse?

   Decitabinequeen replied to JLA's topic in Oncology

   I work in a clinic/outpatient infusion center and love it. I fully plan on this being my forever job. We have 6 chemo nurses with one being "the mixer" for the day, leaving 5 on the floor barring vacations/illnesses. We see between 30-40 a day, I'...

7. Forgot to follow up on orders

   Decitabinequeen replied to JMK04's topic in General Nursing

   It looks as though you acted appropriately! You weren't able to obtain a suitable sample and PASSED IT ON IN REPORT that it still needed to be done. That no one else did it is the scary part of the story. Can you really not trust those you work wi...

8. Would you consider your time In LPN school as experience?

   Decitabinequeen replied to Emireth's topic in LPN/LVN

   Nope. You weren't a LICENSED LPN. That's the experience they're looking for. Clinical time is expected of a new grad and doesn't count, unfortunately. Someone will give you chance!

9. Earning your LPN license

   Decitabinequeen replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you are attending a technical college with the goal of an Associate Degree, then yes, you should be eligible at the "halfway" point. BSN candidate nurses are not able to sit for the LPN NCLEX in my state.

10. Where can I buy scrubs?

    Decitabinequeen replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN/LVN

    I am partial to Scrubs and Beyond because I can buy online and return in store. Wal-mart carries scrubs. To be absolutely honest, I find some of the best stuff at Goodwill and a local consignment store. I just bought 4 pair of Koi Lindsey pants fo...

11. My coworkers dont like me because I bragged

    Decitabinequeen replied to esrun13's topic in New Nurse

    Truth? I'm betting they don't like you for a different reason

12. Would you call in sick?

    Decitabinequeen replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Deflect all you want, but you can't deny that you missed out on at least 4 hours of sleep r/t being on the road during your COMMUTE

13. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Decitabinequeen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We order PET's daily. NEVER do we order Versed for "claustrophobia". MAYBE Ativan. Talk about over-medicating!! I also needed to comment on the "red cap" part of the article. Our B12 comes with a red vial cap, clearly red is not the universal war...

14. Don't Say The "Q" word!

    Decitabinequeen replied to Davey Do's topic in Humor

    Meh, I don't believe in this superstition and use both words regularly if the situation calls for it

15. Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    Decitabinequeen replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality

    You are contradicting yourself. Your title leads one to believe the question is about ectopic pregnancies and then you slip in your belief about viable pregnancies. An ectopic pregnancy is NOT a viable situation, ever. I think that you created the po...
