  2. IV Push...please help!

    Triddin replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does your hospital where you do clinicals have a drug manual? They should give you the rate which you push certain drugs. That's the resource I use at

  3. When to give Narcan??

    Triddin replied to climbeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a set guideline for when to give narcan. In this situation, I personally would have given it- the high bp and hr could have been related to the fact the patient was in pain, and...

  4. Nurse-patient relationship

    Triddin replied to Realist_'s topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your comment that all patients are lazy, don't care, and are on benefits comment makes me uncomfortable and I have to vastly disagree with you. Yes, some patients are like that, but in my experience,...

  5. First Code blue

    Triddin replied to faithna's topic in General Nursing

    I think most nurses feel the way you do after their patient codes. One thing to keep in mind is that your patient is sick. That is why they are in the hospital, and sometimes despite your best...

    Triddin replied to RjRj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ya. You crossed some major professional boundaries and I feel you have been appropriately suspended. Your best bet is to retain legal counsel. But beyond that... best of

  8. Would you say anything?

    Triddin replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Not my job to make medical diagnoses. Also giving medical advice implies you are taking responsibility for the person you give advice too. If the growth was large, I'm sure he was aware of it,...

    Triddin replied to oceangirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    Most ortho we ambulatory pod 1. Large and I surgeries might get a day or two off depending on Dr's orders and pain control. Turns are generally bed rest until pod 1. It's generally better to bullet...

  10. I hate this

    Triddin replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to be blunt but you have two options - stay full time on your current ward or move to a different ward and be part time. Unfortunately in this scenario you can't have your cake and eat it too....

  11. Relationship problems

    Triddin replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I've been with my partner for 10 years and they have never made me cry. They don't necessarily understand what I'm venting about, but they have mastered the art of nodding and looking sympathetic and...

  13. Nurse to Patient Ratios

    Triddin replied to andersbri's topic in General Nursing

  15. Baffled.

    Triddin replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in General Nursing

    It's simple, in every profession their are those who are good at it and those who shouldn't be near it with a 10 foot pole. I'm sorry that you work with those personalities, but I honestly think hey...

  16. New critical care nurse

    Triddin replied to gigirose's topic in General Nursing

    I love the icu faqs web page. Anything that can make learning about lab values entertaining is good in my books. Gosh, I still get anxiety at times, and I've been in icu for 2 years. I'd also add to...

  17. Will NY BON approve my school?

    Triddin replied to Channabanana's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you didn't say you contacted the New York BON, which is really the logical choice over asking random internet people. And how do you know the advice they gave you isn't accurate? I would hardly...

    Triddin replied to Channabanana's topic in General Nursing

  21. My First Patient Death

    Triddin replied to livtaylors's topic in General Students

    First patient deaths are hard, and codes are harder because of all the adrenaline. I find that at the end of a long code, coworkers will become more chatty. It's honestly just an outlet for that...

    Triddin replied to peppa103's topic in Canada

    Compared to AHS, I believe new grads in BC have an easier finding jobs. However, the majority of jobs are casual, I only know of a handful of new grads who were hired into full time
