  1. Should we chart in 24-hour time?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I've never worked in a facility that didn't use a 24-hour

  2. Is there such a thing as a decent cargo pocket tool holder?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to hypocaffeinemia's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks! This: http://www.ripoffs.com/datasheets/co175/co175.html Might just work! Edit: In fact, the way the clip is designed, I can just clip it to my waist instead of the cargo pocket. Still can't...

  3. Is there such a thing as a decent cargo pocket tool holder?

    hypocaffeinemia posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Now that I'm movin' on up in the world, my required scrubs for my new position only come with one lackluster cargo pocket on the right leg. It's drawstring, so there's no belt to latch any of my old...

  4. "Nurse" entry on Wikipedia

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Ginger's Person's topic in General Nursing

    I think most people realize that no encyclopedia should be used as a reference on anything above a middle school level paper, and this extends to the printed ones equally. However, wiki is a great...

  5. NANDA nursing diagnosis for pressure ulcers

    hypocaffeinemia replied to POMD01's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you have a question about why #2 was the correct

  6. "Nurse" entry on Wikipedia

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Ginger's Person's topic in General Nursing

    If you look at the history of previous revisions, much of that appears to be

  7. Adult ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to WalkieTalkie's topic in General Nursing

    I was just at a conference this past Saturday discussing the use of vv-ECMO in ARDS. They're having some success with it-- especially long-term morbidity-- at St. Lukes in Houston by initiating ECMO...

  8. question re: meds on nclex that you have never heard of?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to AshleyR17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    there are a few errors in your list. -olol is all beta blockers, not just the b1-specific. for instance, propranolol and nadolol are non-selective beta blockers. -micin are not antivirals. they're...

  9. The long month...

    hypocaffeinemia posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate May 8th. I've already taken and crushed the HESI, so I'm not particularly worried about NCLEX. The problem is my ICU internship doesn't begin until June 8th. As I will likely be receiving...

  10. Somebody better call the cops...

    hypocaffeinemia posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    ...Because I just murdered the HESI exit exam. 1104. Officially done with school now, awaiting graduation in two weeks and the NCLEX.

  11. Name Badge Credentials

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 1joyfulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Do your psychiatrists use their last name? Why or why not is it different for

  12. Name Badge Credentials

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 1joyfulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    A separate issue: I don't particularly understand why the last name is a safety issue. Are your doctors only known and introduced to your patients via first name also? If not, why the double...

  13. Name Badge Credentials

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 1joyfulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    A soldier doesn't wear his medals into combat, either. Edit: Medic09 beat me.

  14. Name Badge Credentials

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 1joyfulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    A name badge isn't meant to be a scouting merit badge sash. It's purpose is to identify who you are and your role to patients, visitors, and other

  15. Name Badge Credentials

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 1joyfulnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My two cents is that you should only have your role on your badge. While the alphabet soup is fine on resumes and business cards, there is no difference in role between an RN, ADN; an RN, BSN; or an...

  16. My HESI story.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You must not be familiar with the USMLE steps I and II, are you? I'm sorry this is what you're experiencing, but it really isn't about the candidates feelings, it's about protecting the public....

  17. My HESI story.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I used to have the mentality of the original poster, but I took the HESI on Friday and I didn't find it particularly challenging. In fact, I passed it quite easily and still missed a significant...

  18. Somebody better call the cops...

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

    Didn't study for it. Besides reviewing basic facts like lab ranges, the rest of it you either know or you don't. Good

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

    Girl? This is no longer a female-only

  20. discharged a patient wearing telemetry

    hypocaffeinemia replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    (Soon to be former) monitor tech here. Ours retail for a cool $2200 each. However, discharges with packs happen all the time. Typically EMS catches it and returns it after finishing with the patient...

  21. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Next year's market will likely be far superior to this year's. Not only will the economy be better, many current hospital construction projects are finishing in late 2009 - early 2010 and will be...

  22. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I started a thread to debate this without continuing to derail this thread: https://allnurses.com/philosophy-and-debate/any-armchair-philospher-384096.html (Requires premium membership to...

    This statement demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of evolutionary biology and how it is applied to

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Let's take this to the philosophy forum, shall we? I would love to debate this with

  25. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It makes sense. I edited mine to add that on a case by case basis specific concepts can be refuted due to logical or scientific
