   I'm always caffeinated....for reals

2. Low HR

   Caffeinated RN replied to joe007's topic in Safety

   In my case, I spoke with the charge RN who hooked me up with the right person. As it was stated earlier, you would want to seek out your own facility's chain of command, as this could vary. I am very fortunate in that I work in a very positive, suppo...

3. Low HR

   Caffeinated RN replied to joe007's topic in Safety

   What kind of cardiac history (if any) did this patient have? In that situation, I would have gotten an apical pulse and a full set of vitals, in addition to your assessment. I think an EKG was the proper thing to do, as well (though I probably would ...

4. "Loosing" my license

   Caffeinated RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Personally, I do not irrationally fear losing my license. Like previous posters have stated, schools may have something to do with this pervasive myth. This myth may also be fueled by lawsuits. I feel like this nation, in general, is "sue first, ask...

5. IV push

   Caffeinated RN replied to greyL's topic in General Nursing

   This is why I love having a drug guide!

6. Would you miss the first day of class?

   Caffeinated RN replied to ames86's topic in General Students

   Do you have a friend that can record the lecture? I was once in the same situation - but instead of the first day, it was a test day. Per my school's policy, I would lose 5% if I took it the day after. It was a hard decision, but I ultimately did the...

   A majority of my test was SATA...maybe 60-70%. I passed in 75. Everyone is different,though.

8. Taking NCLEX - RN tomorrow...

   Caffeinated RN replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX today, too. I swear my test was 50-60% SATA at least - no joke!! Answered 75 questions and got the good pop-up :)

10. Initial application approval for NY license

    Caffeinated RN replied to Caffeinated RN's topic in New York

    Will I hear anything before the ATT from New York? Will they send me a letter or email saying my app initial app has been approved?

11. Initial application approval for NY license

    Caffeinated RN posted a topic in New York

    I applied to the NY BON 2-3 weeks ago (mid-April). I graduate at the end of May from a school out of state. Does NY send a letter or email to let you know if the initial application for licensure has been approved...or at least received? Or will I ha...

12. Mandated reporting outside of work

    Caffeinated RN replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

    In ny, you do not have to report abuse OUTSIDE of work. Doesn't mean you shouldn't, though, of course. I just completed their child abuse course for licensure and was surprised to learn this.

13. Lazy and disrespectful Nursing Assistants

    Caffeinated RN replied to lilaclover6984's topic in Relations

    As a night shift aide, and based on the number of patients you've stated, I have no idea why your aides seem to have the time to sit around. Sorry you have to deal with this :/

14. LOC or ABC first?

    Caffeinated RN replied to Caffeinated RN's topic in Emergency

    Wow! I was not expecting so many responses! Thank you! I am no longer going crazy. Haha

15. LOC or ABC first?

    Caffeinated RN posted a topic in Emergency

    I feel like this is a silly question, but it is a topic that recently came up in class (I am just about to finish nursing school), and it is driving me off-the-wall CRAZY! We all know that our ABCs are paramount to our practice as healthcare profess...
