  1. Looking to grow and frustrated

    Decitabinequeen replied to kdodge's topic in Oncology

    I'm an oncology infusion nurse by day, and do a casual weekend position in a LTC facility where we see it all. Great "fun money" pay

  2. Oxaliplatin

    Decitabinequeen replied to DebKRN's topic in Oncology

    Oxaliplatin is NOT compatible with NS!!! You need to mix it in D5W and have D5W as your

  3. RaDonda Vaught Update - State Health Officials Reverse Decision and File Medical Disciplinary Charges

    Decitabinequeen replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Could you share the 9, 20 or 30 rights that are out there. Did you take a pledge to do no harm? Following the rights of safety are meant to keep you from doing no

  4. Nursing shortage is BS

    Decitabinequeen replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I too, feel that the nursing shortage is total BS. Is perhaps the reason you lost your previous job the reason behind the difficulty in finding a new one? Best of luck to

  5. Failed out my ADN on the last exam

    Decitabinequeen replied to wantobern01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Your information provided is very confusing. Typically, at the half-way point of your RN aspirations, you'd be eligible to sit for the LPN NCLEX. Most do and then continue on to complete their...

  6. Help Please! Oncology Infusion or School Nurse?

    Decitabinequeen replied to JLA's topic in Oncology

    I work in a clinic/outpatient infusion center and love it. I fully plan on this being my forever job. We have 6 chemo nurses with one being "the mixer" for the day, leaving 5 on the floor barring...

  7. Forgot to follow up on orders

    Decitabinequeen replied to JMK04's topic in General Nursing

    It looks as though you acted appropriately! You weren't able to obtain a suitable sample and PASSED IT ON IN REPORT that it still needed to be done. That no one else did it is the scary part of the...

  8. Would you consider your time In LPN school as experience?

    Decitabinequeen replied to Emireth's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nope. You weren't a LICENSED LPN. That's the experience they're looking for. Clinical time is expected of a new grad and doesn't count, unfortunately. Someone will give you

  9. Earning your LPN license

    Decitabinequeen replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are attending a technical college with the goal of an Associate Degree, then yes, you should be eligible at the "halfway" point. BSN candidate nurses are not able to sit for the LPN NCLEX in...

  10. Where can I buy scrubs?

    Decitabinequeen replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am partial to Scrubs and Beyond because I can buy online and return in store. Wal-mart carries scrubs. To be absolutely honest, I find some of the best stuff at Goodwill and a local consignment...

  11. My coworkers dont like me because I bragged

    Decitabinequeen replied to esrun13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Truth? I'm betting they don't like you for a different

  12. Would you call in sick?

    Decitabinequeen replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Deflect all you want, but you can't deny that you missed out on at least 4 hours of sleep r/t being on the road during your

  13. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Decitabinequeen replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We order PET's daily. NEVER do we order Versed for "claustrophobia". MAYBE Ativan. Talk about over-medicating!! I also needed to comment on the "red cap" part of the article. Our B12 comes with a...

  14. Don't Say The "Q" word!

    Decitabinequeen replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Meh, I don't believe in this superstition and use both words regularly if the situation calls for

  15. Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    Decitabinequeen replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You are contradicting yourself. Your title leads one to believe the question is about ectopic pregnancies and then you slip in your belief about viable pregnancies. An ectopic pregnancy is NOT a...

  16. The Grinch of allnurses.com

    Decitabinequeen replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Meh, ignore what bothers you. Don't like Hallmark movies? Don't stop on that channel! Tired of being bombarded with "buy me" emails? Unsubscribe! Office holiday politics bothersome? Say "no thank...

  17. What does your username mean?

    Decitabinequeen replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    When I started in oncology, it seemed I always landed the Dacogen/decitabine infusions. Hence, the earned name of "Decitabine

  18. without a job until after new years

    Decitabinequeen replied to RN252's topic in Nursing Career

    You're NOT a graduate nurse, you're a NURSE. A graduate nurse is someone who has been hired to work as an RN while they wait to take the NCLEX and have a true license. So many things about your...

  19. Coworker violated HIPPA

    Decitabinequeen replied to AsanRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    WHY did you even ask about his possible syphilis diagnosis?!?! What I think is that you're a terrible, nosy family member who shouldn't be asking your peers about your nephew's health

  20. Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

    Decitabinequeen replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Sweet Baby

  21. Nurses Eat Their Young

    Decitabinequeen replied to Dairian's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NEVER. Truly. And I am OVER this phrase. I'm

  22. Quiting without Notice Due to Poor Relationship with Physician

    Decitabinequeen replied to mallethead's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The biggest red flag I see is your many uses of "facebook". Keep ANYTHING that might come back to bite you in the azz at work OFF of social media. That said, what MD would tell a nursing manager...

  23. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    Decitabinequeen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That's some precise pain management if you treat a rating of "8" vastly different than a

  24. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    Decitabinequeen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I love PAINAD

  25. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    Decitabinequeen replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Dang! I need to advocate for better holidays! Halloween and Black Friday?! Any facility I've ever worked in that required 24/7 coverage usually has split "pools" of staff to work holidays and it's...
