  1. How do you choose which IV tubing to use?

    buddiage replied to buddiage's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you daytonite. I was worried I had missed something. I haven't looked in ALL of my nursing books. My calculations book made no mention of it. I appreciate your time. I never really thought...

  2. Amazing story / video - "The Boy In The Moon - about boy with rare genetic disorder

    buddiage replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

  3. Dogs 4 Diabetics

    buddiage replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd LOVE to see dogs active with any type of care for humans. There is so much potential in the nose of a dog and the security of a heavy dog chin in someone's lap. If I had a paper cut, I'd still...

  4. What should I wear when shadowing a nurse?

    buddiage replied to pshs_2000's topic in General Nursing

    A white polo and scrub bottoms. I did 6 weeks of it, and we were not to wear school

  5. husband begrudgingly supportive

    buddiage replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in General Nursing

    Calm helps. And I'm sure that "sticking to your feelings" in a logical manner helped him understand the likelihood of you "sticking to nursing school" and helped him understand that you are indeed...

  6. If You Could What Halloween Costume Would You Wear?

    buddiage replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    a slutty nurse. NOT! I have a fascination with medival times, so probably a peasant or member of royalty! That would be a lot of fun. I was looking for costumes for my dog, and I saw more slutty nurse...

  7. Blood transfusion

    buddiage replied to blessed02's topic in General Nursing

    Can't your potassium go up too (maybe another reason for lasix) because RBC's sometimes break and release K+? The logical thing might be fluid volume overload like everyone seems to be saying, since...

  8. husband begrudgingly supportive

    buddiage replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in General Nursing

    I know he probably has good attributes. This just sounds

  9. husband begrudgingly supportive

    buddiage replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in General Nursing

    "Honey, you know I love you, and as your best friend, you can trust me to tell you the REAL truth. The truth is, is you are incapable of being a nurse. I mean, you know, I didn't really want to say...

  10. husband begrudgingly supportive

    buddiage replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh... yes. Been there. Done that. I'm not kidding. I think I even posted a few years ago about my husband. I graduate in May, 2008. My husband is supportive, but for a few years, he wasn't. My sell...

  11. Coporate Nursing

    buddiage replied to deniseS's topic in Occupational Health

    I will graduate in 2008. I have my eyes set on an occupational health nursing job in the future. They like ICU, ER experience. I am currently in telemetry as a tech, formerly an EMT *gulp* 13 years...

  12. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    buddiage replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Over this Summer I did a nursing internship at the hospital (I am a nursing student, and I've read every one of these posts). I did a spin-off in the ER, and a lady came in with hx of renal failure,...

  13. Nurses - Leading your subordinates (Nurse Aides, Nurse Techs, Med Aides)

    buddiage replied to brotherbear's topic in Nurse Management

    Better than, "people that are beneath you." I'm a nursing student, with a tech job in tele. I don't find it offensive. What else do you call them? Just my

  14. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    buddiage replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not all of us who loath Michael Moore automatically love President Bush. Some of us believe in equal

  15. I might be in trouble. I will not use restraints, care planned or not.

    buddiage replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I'm old, I hope I have a nurse like you. Screw her. I mean it in the most nicest of ways, of course. You are awesome and a true patient advocate. Imagine whose side God would

  16. My school Sucks!

    buddiage replied to MedicGA's topic in General Nursing

    I have a very bright friend who is kicking butt in her internship right now. She does not do "brilliantly" on each test because she is not a good test taker. I, on the other hand, do okay for tests I...

    buddiage replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    read the chicken soup one before going to nursing school- it was great, inspiring, and encouraging when school was getting to

    buddiage replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/respiratory/parvo_b19.htm Can adults get fifth disease? Yes, they can. An adult who is not immune can be infected with parvovirus B19 and either have no symptoms or...

  20. A&P nightmare!!!

    buddiage replied to srkastc's topic in General Nursing

    There's no bones about it. A&P is hard. I had a very difficult AP1 instructor, I had to self teach a lot, spend time in lap, go over slides in the library. He acted like he didn't wanna be there....

  21. Getting Divorced During Nursing School

    buddiage replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    I am a current student who has battled with the school issue and my husbands "desires" (or control, more appropriate). It took him a few years, and he has grown leaps and bounds. He was afraid, felt...

  22. Accepted into RN Program.. Having a few "doubts"

    buddiage replied to Kimmi73's topic in General Nursing

    Nice to know someone like me... From my perspective: when I finally made it to nursing school, it was a point where there was "no turning back." I had been going to school for so long, and now that I...

    buddiage replied to vaileheart's topic in General Nursing

    Hi- I just passed my first year at SCCC, and I can tell you- the dosage class is nice if you can take it. You will tell you- you are going to develop some close relationships very quickly with your...

  24. RN in 2 years

    buddiage replied to bigtimer225's topic in General Nursing

    I'd look closer at the prereqs- it may take longer. You need biology before microbiology, you may need algebra before chemistry.... Those three years go by pretty quickly. I try to tell everyone...

  25. sexual jokes in the workplace

    buddiage replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    I think giving him a silent stare with one eyebrow up and no smile will get the message acrossed. I can hack some of that, but if it was repeated over and over again ad nauseum, I'd spell it out for...
