  1. Working while sick!

    ADN 2002 replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the nice replies -- I really needed them this morning. You guys won't even believe this -- I just got home (8am CST) from my 3-11pm shift YESTERDAY. So here's what happened: I went to...

  2. Postpartum pain management

    ADN 2002 replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Quick question about the self-med kits - how does that work with JCAHO? We've been told that EVERYTHING has to be locked up - Tylenol, Motrin, IVFs, Tucks, whatever. I'm not opposed to it, but just...

  3. How did you celebrate when you passed NCLEX

    ADN 2002 replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    I was at home by myself when I found out I passed my NCLEX - I had gone online to check and saw that a license had been issued for me. I flipped out and then started calling people...LOL :balloons:...

  4. surgical prep for c/s

    ADN 2002 replied to elleRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is there a specific link into the AORN website to read what the current standard is for prepping an abdomen for c/s? I am a relatively new RN (a little over a year) and I frequently circulate...

  5. "Babywise!" Help! Friend swears by it.

    ADN 2002 replied to Figaro's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks, guys, for posting this topic -- I've never heard of this method of parenting, and this knowledge will definitely come in handy if I ever get a patient (heaven forbid) that wants to use this...

  6. Gallbladder problems?

    ADN 2002 replied to BrandyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Brandy! I had gall bladder trouble about a year and a half ago and they did a bunch of tests, including a HIDA scan and an abdominal u/s. I was having the same symptoms you were, and they...

  7. Right handed? Left handed? Spell? Can't spell?

    ADN 2002 replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a righty and have always been able to spell really well. I'm in school still and this summer (after only one year of school) a nurse in my psych clinical asked how to spell guaifenesin and I was...

  8. surgery fear PLEASE ANSWER ME

    ADN 2002 replied to analucia's topic in General Nursing

    I get mild motion sickness on roller coasters; I don't have a problem in the car, and I had no problem with nausea after my general (but, at the same time, they were giving me phenergan with my...

  9. So what do you recommend?

    ADN 2002 replied to shunda's topic in General Students

    I don't really think it matters if you go into an RN program as an LVN or not. I'm not an LVN, I didn't have any clinical experience before entering nursing school, and I've got one of the highest...

  10. I have the worst microbiology teacher

    ADN 2002 replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in General Students

    I had the absolute WORST micro teacher. He would stand there and talk for two hours about who knows what (because we never could understand what was going on), gave us an outline, but it had nothing...

  11. surgery fear PLEASE ANSWER ME

    ADN 2002 replied to analucia's topic in General Nursing

    Analucia, If you're comfortable telling us, what kind of surgery are you having? I had surgery this past June, my gall bladder was removed (lap chole). What happened with me was that I was admitted...

  12. Help! I can't hear a thing!

    ADN 2002 replied to mia's topic in General Students

    Mia, I had the same problem when I was first learning to take a BP. I had a sprague (double barrel) stethoscope at the time, and just couldn't hear a thing, on top of which, it also hurt my ears...

  13. Anyone ever had a kidney stone?? Yowzer!

    ADN 2002 replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    They didn't even give me a referral to the urologist! They just doped me up on Demerol, gave me the Xanax and sent me home (where I had a major nursing paper waiting for me....I'm a student nurse)....

  14. Anyone ever had a kidney stone?? Yowzer!

    ADN 2002 replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    I had a stone at Christmas this past year. They had done a CT a couple of days before Christmas and found "something." They couldn't tell if it was a stone in the ureter or a mass on my ovary. They...
