   Hi everyone! I am applying for the RN to BSN program and have a question about the student ID number for the recommendation letters. When do they give you a student ID number, is it as soon as you submit the application? How can I submit the forms ...

   Hi everyone! I graduated with my ADN in 2010 and have worked between critical care and flex (housewide) since. I came out of a rough community college career with a 3.0 overall GPA and a 2.75 science GPA. When I started college I didn't take it se...

   wannabeagreatRN posted a topic in Oncology

   My father in law underwent his second chemo today and according to my sister in law "almost coded" from what I got from them it sounded like SVT. His medical team said it's fairly common and from now on will run his chemo at half the rate. I am a P...

   wannabeagreatRN replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Stress 101

   And many hugs to everyone else with this type of awful experience under their belts. I don't wish any of this on anyone. Its also a reason why I work over an hour away from home, I was tired of working on my neighbors day in and day out. Not only is ...

7. Had to code my best friends husband

   wannabeagreatRN replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Stress 101

   Thank you all. Knowledge really stinks sometimes. I hadn't thought about the EAP program I will check into it. One day at a time right now. We just had his services. I feel like I'm letting go of some of the anger. I thought more about the amount of...

   I don't normally post here but love learning from you all. I apologize as I ramble my story out. I am here tonight because on Wednesday night I had to code my best friend's husband who is also my friend and he did not make it. I cannot talk to her...

9. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

   wannabeagreatRN replied to laurasc's topic in Relations

   Sorry! I was just pointing out how two different people in the same scene see things very differently. There are 3 sides to every story and I am just not willing to jump on a blind bandwagon. Of course if this is true, it is terrible and that nurs...

11. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    wannabeagreatRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

    I have to love it when men decide they can't wash their own genitals (yet are perfectly capable) so I have actually started telling the one's with significant others "Maybe we should let your (gf/spouse) know that you need help with that?" Turns the...

12. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    wannabeagreatRN replied to laurasc's topic in Relations

    As in most cases, we only have one side of the story! Just last week I had a patient's spouse yell frantically for me (I work in critical care) my pt on bipap was having increasing difficulty breathing. So as I am checking him out and the bipap, li...

13. I want to anticipate needs...but I am also scared....

    wannabeagreatRN replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in Emergency

    I was an EMT-B before nursing school and also was a tech in the ER my senior year. Some nurses you can anticipate their needs and there are others that you may as well wait until they tell you (I will leave it at that lol). But just set your priori...

15. Can paramedic or EMT administer an IM med like Haldol or Ativan to help unruly pt?

    wannabeagreatRN replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Emergency

    To clarify this topic, every state has their own protocols, and some jurisdictions get approval for extra or pilot programs, so meds, skills, interventions vary. Also there is a difference of levels of prehospital providers. Here in Maryland the hi...
