   What orders from providers have made you laugh the most?

   kldepp08 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   A patient had an order for throat lozenges q4h PRN. He was asking for them more frequently, so the Dr changed the order to “may have ad lib or until develops dental caries”

   Imposter syndrome?

   kldepp08 replied to Sara-no-H's topic in General Students

   I felt like an imposter at least a year into working as an RN. School gives you the foundation, you learn more about being a nurse on the job. Completely normal. Never allow yourself to be “comfortable” either once you are a nurse, this is where mist...

   "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

   kldepp08 replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

   While I certainly understand the need for dark humor on occasion to cope with the sad reality of things we face as health care providers, I personally do not find this funny (but do not judge those who do)! This opioid epidemic is terrible and I see ...

    Great point, and agreed! I certainly did not mean to insult or diminish anyone's struggles! I understand everyone is different, and has different capabilities. My apologies that my statement may have been too broad! Thank you for correcting me! Howe...

    Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    kldepp08 replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    Best: An instructor known for being very tough, you know, the one that everyone fears on sight.... At the end of the semester evaluation she said to me, "you're going to make a great nurse", I said "thank you, that means a lot coming from you", her r...
