  3. Flushing IV site

    londonflo replied to Floater In FL's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Yes, but it is unfortunately a fact in many hospitals on general units. I read about it frequently here on AN. As a patient I have experienced it many times. The patient (far from the desk) hits the...

  4. Flushing IV site

    londonflo replied to Floater In FL's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    The push-pause method mimics this and is the recommended method. It is my understanding that if the nurse is present when the saline is infused and the pump stops, no flush is necessary. But if...

  6. Who are you talking to?

    londonflo replied to Nurse.Kay.Mulan's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Messianic and Tassels (Tzitzit)

    londonflo replied to FlameHeart's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Does this include underwear? Cotton wasn't grown until the early 1800's. Before that the fabric choices were only wool, silk and linen. So pre 1800's, individuals had to wear only all linen garments...

  8. Vasovagal syncope as sole reason for nursing school dismissal

    londonflo replied to Mom.6's topic in General Students

    Many decades ago I had a nursing student faint in the OR. She must have been close to the table, because as she fell she pulled out the patient's IV. The staff who could, tried to find out her level...

  9. Flushing IV site

    londonflo replied to Floater In FL's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    The flush is done to create turbulence in the IV catheter so that no blood remains in the J loop and catheter which can lead to clotting. Kind of like a toilet

  10. Vasovagal syncope as sole reason for nursing school dismissal

    londonflo replied to Mom.6's topic in General Students

    She hasn't yet been in a registered nurse position..Do you think she can be employed with an all active, all-nursing job as a fledgling nurse, or even an experienced nurse. Personally I have to...

  11. Vasovagal syncope as sole reason for nursing school dismissal

    londonflo replied to Mom.6's topic in General Students

    I thought this was a one off. 4 episodes are a pattern that should concern someone who is going to be responsible for the ambulatory needs of the elderly, the new post-op patient, the new post-op...

    londonflo replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

  13. Vasovagal syncope as sole reason for nursing school dismissal

    londonflo replied to Mom.6's topic in General Students

    Did the school require her to get a Doctor's note? I have had students faint. It was a usual thing but in 40 years I have had a couple. I did send one to the ER because she hit her head. Did she eat...

    londonflo replied to Summer365's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is the FBON site that lists schools. Be sure to really investigate your future school. Ideally you should know the NCLEX pass rate and if it is ACEN accredited. Those 2 facts are important. Click...

  17. Will the BON reapprove our program?

    londonflo replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    The Board of Nursing in my state did make a visit to approve the new program we were proposing, it is not only paperwork to get approval or continued approval for a program.. Some states get more...

  18. CNM career change, L&D burnout

    londonflo replied to gatorem's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  19. Not specialized MSN can you do APN?

    londonflo replied to blue_aphalt's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  20. Achieve test prep?

    londonflo replied to Mamie93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Achieve test prep is not a nursing school, despite what they say. They are a test prep company...you pay for classes to help you take a Clep test. I do not believe there are any nursing schools...

    Wise advice from JKL33. You have only wasted 2 months...don't waste more. Do you want to deal with health things with him the rest of your life? Move

  23. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    londonflo replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Working with photoshop to produce a forged receipt probably takes more time than 30 minutes. Think about what you want out of

  24. Covid Abuse!

    londonflo replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The airlines ask you to get there hours before the flight takes off. The bar is always open. I am thinking the airport wants the revenue from the bar but the outcome of serving bored passengers...

    londonflo replied to GordonGekko's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Wasn't that Trump's job as President to employ every avenue to respond to the virus with ways to protect the people of the US? Why does he deserve thanks for doing his job? When you do your job do...
