  1. In nusing school, really need some advice!!!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to cf264801's topic in General Nursing

    :lol2: (Laughing with you, not at you...) They really pull you in with that one, don't they!!! There are some days where it's like stealing money, and then there are most other days where they...

  2. Cofused and need your opinion

    Blee O'Myacin replied to RN1025's topic in General Nursing

    That is nowhere approaching enough time for a new grad to orient in the ICU!! I think that it is dangerous and bordering on malpractice to allow a new grad with only 9 shifts of preceptored...

  3. Was I overreacting?(long)

    Blee O'Myacin replied to newlywedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did everything right too. I also used to work on a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and I am shocked that that little baby was on reverse isolation on a general heme-onc/med-surg overflow...

  4. From Med Surg to ER...So Lost!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to crb613's topic in Emergency

    I bet you that it wasn't as bad as you thought it was. You took a pull to the ER without EVER having been there, without an orientation further than "here's the supply closet and your patient...

  5. Happy Emergency Nurses Day

    Blee O'Myacin replied to loricatus's topic in Emergency

    Does it count if you write yourself up? I totally would do that. "B. O'Myacin, RN did not offer patient in Rm.1 Apple juice with his CT prep. Orange juice was given instead." "B. O'Myacin, RN asked...

  6. Acls Advice...

    Blee O'Myacin replied to ummwhome's topic in General Nursing

    Go with the book that the class recommends. Also, get the most recent edition. The protocols have changed recently. And when you are there, relax, pay attention and don't worry about doing...

  7. "Pranic Healing" for healthcare providers

    Blee O'Myacin replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    So does that mean we are going to have a new box to check off on the code cart check list for aligned chakras? Please be sure to fill in the appropriate number on the plastic lock for said chakras,...

  8. Having trouble finding a job in New York

    Blee O'Myacin replied to kendel's topic in New York Nursing

    So educate me. What culture uses all caps to communicate on internet forums, a place where no one knows your cultural affiliation because all we are relying on is your typing. Passive-aggressively...

  9. Writing Skills important for an RN

    Blee O'Myacin replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything that the above posters have said and want to add that if you are ever called upon to recollect a patient and are asked "what did you do for this patient?", it's all right...

  10. Don't you just love the stereotype?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I am imagining those high heels after a morning in the ER not to mention where on earth I'd store that bag at work without it becoming a very, very expensive, self-contained superfund site. And who...

  11. Having trouble finding a job in New York

    Blee O'Myacin replied to kendel's topic in New York Nursing

    Obviously you have all the answers you are looking for and are just looking to vent here so I am sorry if I offered some unwanted advice. Even if you like it, ALL CAPS is SHOUTING.

  12. Having trouble finding a job in New York

    Blee O'Myacin replied to kendel's topic in New York Nursing

    Did you check your letter and resume for spelling and grammar errors? I notice that you are capitalizing every word in your sentences. If I were sifting through many cover letters and resumes in a...

  13. Which nursing skills do you dread?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I dread: Saying "Is there anything else I can get you because [say it with me...] I HAVE THE TIME!!!!" Having an patient hand you "something". (Doesn't matter what it is. But multiply the ick...

  14. beligerent boss - Vent warning

    Blee O'Myacin replied to New2ER's topic in General Nursing

    Go agency or per diem somewhere else. That's the beauty of nursing, you have your pick of hazardous working conditions...:monkeydance:

  15. Comfort care med protocol??

    Blee O'Myacin replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    Why was he still on the vent if he was "comfort care"? I would have given the ativan if there were no parameters. By your reasoning, I could say the inverse, why should his remaining time be filled...

  16. Elementary Education or Nursing?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Kimmi73's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like you have the right idea with regards to shadowing the teacher. Elementary ed and nursing are like comparing apples and oranges in my opinion - so decide what you like best and go for it....

  17. DNR Orders Overturned By Doctors

    Blee O'Myacin replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing

    Well, your husband is right. Sad to say, but even the most eloquently written, legally notorized living will means nothing when you are intubated and your power of attorney or next of kin yells "DO...

  18. Question about my patient

    Blee O'Myacin replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    I guess since he needed a permacath or the av graft replaced, they opted to take him to surgery. (That's just my speculation here). For all we know this patient's K could have lived in the high 5's...

  19. Blood transfusion question

    Blee O'Myacin replied to vhrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would definately check with your educator. I mean, what if you have propofol and levophed or TPN in the other two lumens and no peripheral access (say, a patient with weeping anasarca, intubated...

  20. Mystery Diagnosis

    Blee O'Myacin replied to amanda0019's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps he's feeling discouraged and depressed because of his pain and the fact that the tests are coming back negative is in some ways worse than a diagnosis. Especially when people around him are...

  21. Prayer and patient care.

    Blee O'Myacin replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm stuck in the room - ie - patient is about to code - I am usually too busy to drop what I am doing to join hands. I've never had a family complain about that. I generally step out when the...

  22. Non smoking hospital: What is this?!!!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    i'm sorry if the new policy upsets you, but i am just as happy to not have to cover for coworkers who are outside smoking (i know that not all smokers do this) and i am glad to not have to smell it on...

  23. Do you have to give drugs you do not agree with?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    In the example you gave I think that you do have to give the med. It is outside our scope of practice to pick and choose a course of treatment for a patient, like it or not. If it is established...

  24. New Grad in the ER looking for a shoulder to cry on

    Blee O'Myacin replied to citizensaver's topic in Emergency

    First of all, congrats on graduating and for completing your first month. School gives you the foundation and the knowledge base - aka - the "why". They give you some of the "how" in the skills that...

  25. Another request for advice...

    Blee O'Myacin replied to AggieQT's topic in General Nursing

    Who makes the assignments? You say that you were told that you were getting 12 to 14 when the others were getting 7 or 8. This is unfair and you need to assert yourself with the other CNA when...
