  1. How would you comfort a dying atheist?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to stripbubbles's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Think about your question in the context of any other religion and ask yourself if you'd think it'd be okay. You'd then have your

  2. Nights are finally here!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to rayshanna's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After I am off orientation/internship I will likely be nights. Our ICU has a more laid back feel without a bazillion case workers, administrators, students, and doctors moving in and out, but it has...

  3. IV Flow Rate calculation question

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ajitamamasita's topic in General Students

    You're overthinking. The problem as provided does not address or seek to address how long the bag takes to finish. 120 mL per hour * 10 drops per mL = 1200 drops per hour. 1200 drops per hour / 60...

  4. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is color coded-- this was very helpful for me when I went from wearing ciel blue as a monitor tech to galaxy blue as a nurse a couple weeks ago. Everyone in the facility who I see day in...

  5. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

    hypocaffeinemia replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Graduated in May, started an "internship" in my MICU June 8th, passed NCLEX this past Wednesday. I put internship in quotes as it's largely informal as I am the first ever (and only) ICU intern at my...

  6. Dun....dun....DUN!

    hypocaffeinemia posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm giving this forum a preemptive warning so that you may notify your local police departments ahead of time: I am all set to murder the national council licensure examination tomorrow at 8 am...

    Until you start defining into existence principles that don't fit into the standard model.

  10. Dun....dun....DUN!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to hypocaffeinemia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got home from a long day (NCLEX was only a small part of it). General thoughts: It shut off at 75 questions and the pearson vue "trick" is promising, but the post-test anxiety has set in from...

  11. HESI exam--a gooad preditor of future NCLEX performance?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JulieRoseRN2b's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks,

  12. HESI exam--a gooad preditor of future NCLEX performance?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JulieRoseRN2b's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's just an anxiety thing. I passed the HESI with the highest score in my entire class (>1100) and I don't particularly feel ready to take it this wednesday.

  13. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    What type of energy is their energy field consisting of, pray tell? In the scenario you highlight I dare say what is really happening is an increased sensitivity in your non aural/visual senses....

  14. First code that shouldn't have been a code (long)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MJJFan1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was about to reply, but Roy beat me to it. When a patient is crashing you shouldn't particularly be worried about the hypoxic

  15. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to mestizorx's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had classmates that were interviewed and about to be hired into their MICU (and other floors) when the facility went on a hiring freeze leaving them hung out to dry and the directors wishing to hire...

  16. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to mestizorx's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nothing in Houston-- I applied everywhere. I lucked into a critical care internship created just for me at my hospital. I'm the only new grad in the entire facility this

  17. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    I realize your background, zenman, and want to make it clear I have nothing against alternative therapies that invoke a healthy dose of the supernatural. My beef is pretending it's science, when it...

  18. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    You're using a very contextual definition of the word empiric there-- one from (as you cited) a nursing theory textbook. I'm talking about empiricism in science in general. And yes, every natural...

  19. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    Thank you for the ad hominem. I am trying to encourage scientific thinking. I'm sorry this upsets you. I am open to believing in your therapy modality if you can demonstrate the veracity of the...

  20. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    The problem healing touch has is threefold: First, it has to demonstrate and define the existence of the supposed energy field it premises itself on. Second, it has to demonstrate a causal...

  21. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    Inform me. Preferably with double-blinded studies testing your therapies and physics experiments outlining how the "energy" you discuss fits into general relativity. Surely if it exists and exerts an...

  22. Racist Patients

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last fall I was doing a clinical rotation in an ER in East Texas a bit outside Houston. Had a sweet old lady come in, stroke-like symptoms. Then she and her husband start talking about how if she...

  23. Drivers license picture

    hypocaffeinemia replied to LPNAwootwoot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm actually waiting on my new license to take the NCLEX as we speak. I renewed at the very beginning of May, but the entire Texas system hit a virus that caused a 6 week backlog, so all I have is the...

  24. Know of ANY new grad positions in Houston, TX (Prefer North Side)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to dissector's topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduated from a program on the north side that did clinicals at most of this area's hospitals, and half my class still doesn't have jobs (not for lack of trying). Best of luck to you, but from...
