  1. Is this discrimination?

    Triddin replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I'd argue part of being an RN is communicating with patients so being a translator is part of being an RN. Also different RNs have different strengths. Coworkers who are better at inserting IVs don't...

  2. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Triddin replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I understand you want to give your son the best education, but what if what he needs is to have you at home more and not stressed to the max. Would you consider a public school, where you don't have...

  3. Powerful prayer that will help you pass your exam!

    Triddin replied to Tdizzle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wouldn't studying guarantee a better result? I have nothing against spirituality but I have difficulties attributing successes like passing the nclex to a prayer rather than your hard work and...

  4. Powerful prayer that will help you pass your exam!

    Triddin replied to Tdizzle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I though you were to rub a Buddha statue on the tummy three times then drink 5 pumpkin spice lattes in order to guarantee a

  6. So confused about IVPB

    Triddin replied to AbigailJo's topic in Patient Medications

  7. Worried sick that I may have caught MRSA?

    Well. If I'm caring for a known tb patient, I'm going to garb up too and wear my

  8. Second needlestick in 2 weeks

    Triddin replied to Dreamer323's topic in General Nursing

    Don't your facilities needles have safety locks you can engage once you've given a medication via needle to prevent incidences like this? Also, your health is much more important than a

  11. Worried sick that I may have caught MRSA?

    Triddin replied to 8Lovenursing8's topic in General Nursing

    Many times, with vented patients. Still TB free. Tb is pretty hard to catch though, you need to be breathing their air for many

  12. Giving insulin late patient request

    Triddin replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be curious why the patient wants the insulin later and would adjust my glucomter check times to closer when the patient wants to have insulin. I'd hazard you shouldn't get in trouble as long as...

  13. Help with the Strength & Weakness interview question.

    Triddin replied to Code Caffeine's topic in Nursing Career

  15. New grad bedside nursing disappointment

    Triddin replied to KWRN29's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It might be that ICU isn't for you. I wouldn't give up in bedside. ICU is exhausting and a huge learning curve with experience. I can't even imagine going in as a brand new

  16. Blood specimen from iv sites.

    Triddin replied to omotee's topic in General Nursing

    Our policy is to keep them in for as long as they work/ have no signs of infection/infiltration/ phlebitis based on the same

  17. No Call, No Show

    Triddin replied to eilonwe's topic in Nursing Career

    Can't abandon a patient when you don't show up to get one. Job abandonment sire, but that's an employer problem, not a nursing board

  18. Post-test reviews

    Triddin replied to Isabelle49's topic in General Students

    We were allowed to review our tests, but generally we would approach the instructor after class hours to ask questions about a specific question and

  19. Blood products simultaneously

    Triddin replied to jinpepito's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've given 3 at a time, but we were also using rapid transfused so a unit of blood is in under 10 seconds. Yes, worry about transfusion reactions, but generally on these situations, the fact that the...

  21. RN tipping Botox

    Triddin replied to BecksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine tipping falls under the same category as birds so I imagine not, but you could always ask your

  22. IV pump alarms - am I the only one?

    Triddin replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    Try going to the hospital as a visitor and not being allowed to silence/ stop the alarms. It's a definite circle of

  23. First job after LPN licensing & Being treated with disrespect!

    Triddin replied to Mary0000's topic in General Nursing

    You can definitely leave if you are that unhappy but you'll possibly run into the same problems again. Again, let's play the game of alternate theories. - again, in icu, and I get orders from my...

  24. Feeling discouraged about nursing school

    Triddin replied to Imnathalieim's topic in General Students

    Remember you are learning so be kind to yourself. Some people have an easier time than others. Does your school have a lab you can practice skills? Can you get a classmate to work at it with you or an...

  25. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    Triddin replied to carti's topic in General Students

    You seem to be ignoring the posts which highlight that maternity and peds are part of the nclex, which is the basic practice requirement for the USA. Just as you will get psych patients in all fields...
