  1. help..need info re short term memory loss

    mistersleepy replied to hmccartn's topic in General Nursing

    In my past life, I was in a head on collision in Mexico, I then rolled down the side of the mountain. Lost several hours of memory during which I was awake, cussing up a storm, interacting with...

  2. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    mistersleepy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    A good friend had this done about a year ago, she is an RN, about 5'10" and weighed nearly 400lbs. She also has a clotting disorder and was on 27mg of coumadin qd just to keep her INR at 1.5-2. I...

  3. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    mistersleepy replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    I don't post daily but I do read the boards 1-2x every day. I don't mean to be a jerk but CAN"T WE PLEASE GIVE THIS ONE A REST!

  4. "Stupid Nurse Tricks"

    mistersleepy posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    We have all heard them. Tell me a stroy about something really stupid (funny) that a fellow nurse (or yourself) did. No "I heard about a student once who..." stories. But share things you know...

  5. "Stupid Nurse Tricks"

    mistersleepy replied to mistersleepy's topic in Nursing Humor

    OK, As a student I had an instructor who really intimidated me. I was older and was used to being more chummy with the profs than with my class mates but she would have none of that. Well, she wore...

  6. I Don't Think So!

    mistersleepy replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Sean, While I agree that there must have been more to the story, I have seen "no call no show" listed in the State BON flier as grounds for disciplinary action against a nurse in Nebraska. I was not...

  8. I Don't Think So!

    mistersleepy replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Just an FYI, No call, no show is grounds for losing your liscense. I think I would contact the BON about the situation before the DON does. Just my 2 cents worth.

  9. <-- Newbie!

    mistersleepy replied to fr33shot's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you think that LTC is where you want to end up, take the 120 hour course and find a hospital job. You will learn far more and have a much greater variety even if the pay is a little less. I...

  10. lpn-rn...same difference

    mistersleepy replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Reyna, If I understand correctly from the previous thread, you already graduated with a BSN, why not take NCLEX-RN? I took my boards within 3 weeks of my graduation.

  14. AAAAH! BLOOD everywhere!! IV Q

    mistersleepy replied to redwinggirlie's topic in General Nursing

    Get everything set up on a bedside table first. Including the extension, already flushed with the syringe on the other end of it, and the tegaderm with the back already removed. Once you get it,...

  15. heparin and cardizem thru the same line?

    mistersleepy replied to wrkoutgirl's topic in General Nursing

    The charts are USELESS. Our pharmacy has a HUGE book of compatibilities for drips. Brand of drug (even the same generic with different mfg)(due to the inactive ingredients), Concentration of drug,...

    mistersleepy replied to rck213's topic in General Nursing

    Memo to students: If you ever try to unclog an ng with coke, make sure that your instructor isn't standing on the recieving end of the toomey syringe! (Either time) LOL

  17. Family members at the bedside during a code blue?

    mistersleepy replied to momoftriplets's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it is an ugly picture to have as your last image of dad, mom, child, etc. That said, however, I have occasionally had those obstinate family members of a "This pt WILL die and wants to be a...

  18. How much training should a new nurse get??

    mistersleepy replied to nursedarlene's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound overly flippant, but with the present shortage of nurses they give you the orientation you need or you work somewhere that will. End of
