    Triddin replied to Nolita14's topic in School, College Programs

  7. Final year and semester. nursing student, and still struggling at clinicals

    Triddin replied to xafina's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say you are horrible at clinicals. It sounds like you and your preceptor communicate on different channels/ don't mesh well. That doesn't make you a terrible nurse. And it's anxiety...

    Triddin replied to 22angie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  16. Any nurses working out BC can tell me how the job market is?

    Triddin replied to RNsteve's topic in Canada

    If you search Fraser Healths career website, you'll get an idea of the jobs. Likely you'd be hired as a casual and then have access to internal postings. Lots of external er/ critical care

  17. Scared of Termination

    Triddin replied to yourfellowRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  23. Patient receiving potassium chloride SR concurrently with spironolactone?

    Triddin replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    Pretty much what the previous poster said, if a k was 3 you would still give potassium while also giving spironolactone. You probably would just want to monitor the k depending on the dose

  24. As a nurse or a student have you ever had a pt tell you that you won't be a good nurse?

    Triddin replied to RNintraining622's topic in General Students

    Eh. I'd brush it off. You are really the only person who can determine how good of a nurse you'll be. You also have to remember that with delirium, people aren't in their right mind. It can make...
