  1. Advice for success; second chance

    Triddin replied to lshamirg's topic in General Students

    Understanding your learning style will help too. I made flash cards, talked aloud, drew out picture and made the most colourful notes possible, made stories to understand how things work and dance...

  2. Med/Surg nurses - how much psych do you see?

    Triddin replied to humerusRN's topic in General Nursing

    We get a lot of med-surg patients with psych issues but I don't think I've had a pure psych patient with no medical issues I agree there is still a lot of stigma with mental health and the resources...

  3. Interview questions

    Triddin replied to Marilyn93's topic in Nursing Career

    Those are questions I tend to ask at interviews. You can answer the policy question along the lines of " I try to maintain the policies wherever possible. I haven't encountered a situation where I...

  4. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    Triddin replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Triddin replied to ILoveSmurfs's topic in Canada

  6. Am I going to lose my licenseicense

    Triddin replied to Kromeus's topic in General Nursing

    I highly disagree with your preceptor. You give narcotics when the patient needs them, after you've assessed the patient, even if it's day 8. That being said, I hold them if the patient doesn't need...

  7. Question about use of Heparin and platelet count

    Triddin replied to pjmiller's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the patient and the doctor. Is their norm to have a low platelet count? Was their platelets low with admission or have they steadily been dropping I think it's good practice to...

  8. Feel like I don't know anything

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

    Nursing school essentially gives you the background information,action about how to do the job. You don't really start learning/ growing as a nurse until you're in your own. It's perfectly normal to...

  9. Can a manager force you to stay for the next shift if relief does not arrive?

    Triddin replied to Guest878640's topic in Canada

    I know in bc it's considered abandonment if you leave before you are relieved/ have given hand off. I know if ow someone will be late, our charge tends to split assignments or ask among the team if...

  10. Loss of a patient

    Triddin replied to SMS1980's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have counselling available through your school? Did you debrief with your clinical instructor or staff? It's hard when a patient passes; codes are hard because your adrenaline is pumping and...

  11. Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    Triddin replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine a lot of it depends on what kind of life you want to have when you retire and what your expenses will

  12. The right thing

    Triddin replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    If she is continually making the same mistake, then the firing may be justified. It's hard being put under that microscope. Ultimately, only you can make the decision if you will testify. It could...

  13. Scenerio

    Triddin replied to Raj777's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What would you suspect the pt to complain about if they had a fracture/ dislocation? What would you see? Would there be a difference in how they move their limbs with a

  14. help! Is my job normal?

    Triddin replied to Jl2389's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds pretty normal honestly. Especially on surgical wards, all of your patients can be discharged with all new admits. You need to take time for yourself and you need your breaks. Part of your...

  15. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Triddin replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly disagree with calling taking someone off life support euthanasia. Just because the technology is there, doesn't mean that we should continue to prolong life if it is futile (no chance for...

  16. How is drug testing done at your facility?

    Triddin replied to Janecollective's topic in General Nursing

    How does it work in the states that have legalized marijuana? It wouldn't t be an illicit substance then. I find the American culture of drug testing odd. I've never been tested, even when starting a...

  17. Is late or lack of Documentation a reason for fireability?

    Triddin replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    That is a ridiculous

  18. I don't think I can take it anymore.

    Triddin replied to sashaq's topic in General Nursing

    Give it time. Icu is a big enough learning curve without being a new grad at the same time. You will learn what papers you need for which events, and incidences like this will happen because you are...

  19. Practicum/Capstone Clinical Question

    Triddin replied to heythatsmybike's topic in General Students

    There honestly isn't a lot of skill involved with the skills you described not being allowed to perform, so I don't think it will impair your ability to graduate/ perform as an RN and will easily be...

  20. when to give Amiodarone

    Triddin replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    I know you said this isn't the answer you wanted, but If you are uncertain, I would get a doctor is order to get parameters about when to give and when to hold. Without knowing what the patients...

  21. How soon is too soon to quit a new nursing job!

    Triddin replied to Nurse4evervdw's topic in General Nursing

    Critical care also takes at least 6 months to feel kind of comfortable with what you are doing, and I don't think you ever feel 100% certain because the latest practices are always changing. Depending...

  23. 91% in NUR1 but failed CPE

    Triddin replied to Bayner's topic in General Students

    It really depends what mistakes were made and if your instructors thought you would be safe at the bedside. Also, is it a for profit school? Is there a chance you could redo the

  24. I heard they were making the NCLEX harder in January 2019

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

    Remember with the nclex that it's not the number of questions you answer correctly but the difficulty which you can consistently answer correctly. I believe the SATA questions fall into the more...
