  2. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    bd2rn replied to Nola009's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Personally, I think Med/Surg is pretty great! Most of the patients can talk with you, move themselves around (maybe with help, but still...), and are less likely to drop dead or wig out than pts in...

  3. joining Med-Surg after 5 years

    bd2rn replied to Jmira.BSN.RN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Well, I'll give this a shot. I've been a nurse for a LOOOONG time, and I've done all sort of things at various levels. But I've never been "just" a Med/Surg Nurse. I say "just," because I always...

  5. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    bd2rn replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

  6. Why would a nurse push IV potassium?

    bd2rn replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    bd2rn replied to supergirlnurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I firmly believe that clothes don't show respect or lack thereof; people do. When I go to interviews, I wear simple, classic dress pants, shirt, and shoes. My hair is neat. I arrive a bit early,...

  8. Interview Attire?

    bd2rn replied to supergirlnurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have never owned a suit in my life, and I've rocked numerous interviews over the decades. If you're applying for a management job, I guess it makes sense to invest in a suit, but for a regular...

  10. Why do SCDs need to be on the patient prior to anesthesia induction?

    bd2rn replied to Chocolate39's topic in Operating Room

    I don't believe scds DO support blood pressure. The encourage venous return/keep blood from pooling in the VEINS. B/p of course refers to arterial

  11. Preadmission Testing RN's

    bd2rn replied to funnynurse's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    What is the average time per patient do you spend on the Nursing Interview? I'm the sole PAT RN at my hospital, and I'm getting pressure from "other people" to spend no more than 15-20 minutes on...
