   Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in NP Students

   I think you will hear before that. I heard within two weeks after their deadline of Oct 1st. I submitted back end of August. that does seem like it’s pretty close though, there’s a lot of stuff that needs to be done prior to starting like up to da...

   Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in NP Students

   The fact they keep moving the start date back is questionable. Makes me wonder if they haven’t received many applicants

7. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

   Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

   Brandy1017, Wow, what an incredibly hard thing to go through with your coworker! I am glad you were able to have a memory of her being happy with her family. I too, tend to feel emotional when I hear or read of a nurse dying, even if I had no...

8. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

   Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I think this hits the nail right on the head. It is incredibly sad to see someone who has an incredible wealth of knowledge and someone who is a great nurse, receive such a terrible diagnosis.

   Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, and sorry for your loss. I appreciate the input of your personal experience. That was the intent of this post, to see how others cope with these difficult situations involving coworkers. I work at a small facility, everyone knows everyone ...

10. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t mean I would go to therapy for this particular instance, I mean in general as a way to help cope with the ups and downs of the profession itself. I did not make that clear. I was not trying to make her situation about myself, and would never...

11. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    Nurse-please posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last night at work, I had a fellow coworker and fellow nurse seek care in our ED. She’s relatively young and the night ended with an admission and what’s going to be, more than likely, a terminal diagnosis. I won’t get into any details because she is...

    Nurse-please posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone else experienced their patients get really hot (Subjective to the patient, not fever) or like a full body “heat rush” (as one patient explained to me) after giving calcium gluconate? It last for maybe 45 seconds and gets better. Patient at...

14. Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Do you assess gag reflex by touching the pharynx with a tongue depressor? I would be so cautious to do that, especially in a patient that’s on a substance or has ETOH on board... I’d be afraid for them vomiting then aspirating and then for sure we wo...

15. Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Nurse-please replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I wasn’t thinking of assessing the gag reflex as putting in an OPA or NPA.. I was speaking more of tongue blade to the pharynx.. An NPA would have been very suitable for this patient thanks for the response!
