  1. Would you call in because you didn't get any sleep?

    KellNY replied to Elvish's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a good plan, but I'm a single mother-no way am I advertising that I (most likely) am out of my home all night. Nope nope nope. And I can't turn my cell phone off in case my son gets...

  2. a family member gave me five dollars

    KellNY replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    Did they suggest you do that before or after you take your foot out of your mouth? What a crappy thing to do "Gee-these bagles sure are swell, but maybe next time donate money to the hospital--that'd...

  3. Graduate Nurse needing advise

    KellNY replied to MedicGA's topic in General Nursing

    Med/Surg: Boo! Hiss! (that's just my personal bias though) If you're totally unsure what you want to do as an RN-try out the medsurg for the reasons bill listed. BUT-If you know OR is your thang, go...

  4. Heated discussion in class....

    KellNY replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A $50,000 SIGN ON BONUS?? As in-on top of base salary?? Why? On topic-I've seen LPNs offered sign on bonuses, though usually for FT positions only, and sometimes only for nights. (same with RN sign...

  5. LVN instead of RN

    KellNY replied to cancalbloop's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to scare you or make you feel bad, but either mistake could have seriously hurt your patient. Both of these med errors were careless-just looking at the MAR would have prevented both of...

  6. Any School Nurses?

    KellNY replied to Tooka's topic in General Nursing

    There's actually a whole forum for school nurses. :)

  7. Did anyone watch 20/20 last night? transgendered children

    KellNY replied to allantiques4me's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting thread. I'd like to point out (as others already have) that being transgendered is different than being a hermaphrodite. It is also MUCH different than a boy child "liking girl...

  8. LVN instead of RN

    KellNY replied to cancalbloop's topic in General Nursing

    If you're being told that you can't continue the RN route because of a med error....maybe it's not the best thing to just test into becoming an LVN? I gave more meds on a daily basis as an LPN in one...

  9. How many hours would you work?

    KellNY replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    I would do an 8 hour shift per week with a few extra shifts per month. (maybe a total of 6 shifts per month, with a 12hr thrown in every once in a while for good measure). This way I can keep my...

  10. What's your level of responsibility?

    KellNY replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    Just playing Devils Advocate here--did she ever actually officially received and accept report for that patient, or did she just get the

  11. How Helpful is Being Bilingual?

    KellNY replied to G to The P's topic in General Nursing

    The translator phone is great, yes, but it's not realistic to use all the time. If you are bilingual enough to be able to ask the pt simple things and comprehend the answers, then that can make both...

  12. Thinking about Making the Switch

    KellNY posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm thinking about taking a job in the ER. Currently I work on an antepartum unit, but am looking for a change. I think? I have my interview on Friday-any suggestions for questions I should ask?...

  13. Did you see this on the Today Show?

    KellNY replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Am I reading a different article than you all? In the article I got when I clicked on the link provided in the OP, it stated that she spent years trying to become pregnant and then suffered 2 SABs....

  14. Good Advice for nubs.

    KellNY replied to first_lobster's topic in General Nursing

    I like them, except number 5-if that's the case, then you're being abused and allowing it to

  15. Thinking about Making the Switch

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Emergency

    Well, on antepartum we have the occasional emergency (using emergency in the true sense of the word-not counting precip. deliveries or fevers, etc) such as hemorrhages, cord prolapse, etc. I was...

  16. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That could very well be the

  17. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    100% agreed!

  18. Thinking about Making the Switch

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Emergency

    That's interesting. I'm not sure I'd be able to do it before the interview, however, as it's at a different hospital than I'm currently employed. But it's definitely something I'll ask about at the...

  19. Tattoos and nursing

    KellNY replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone is interested in FACTS instead of scare tactics, the most recent CDC report states This can be found on www.cdc.gov I think we can all agree that the CDC is a pretty reputable organization....

  20. Tattoos and nursing

    KellNY replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea about NYC as I've never worked there. I'd rather tell it to the millions of others who don't contract hepatitis. And there really isn't much proof as to where Pamela Anderson...

  21. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    morte--My mistake. Here "social services" means CPS. Social work is social work. I apologize. And yes-she was

  22. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow-I didn't mean to spark such a debate. I mentioned her age really only to show that she had no "other" medical problems other than AMA--some consider that a complication, some don't. Otherwise,...

  23. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, its all her--she's "TIRED of being pregnant. Can't do this anymore...":uhoh3: And yes, that is the quote I used for her cheif

  24. RN Overtime Hours

    KellNY replied to bigtimer225's topic in General Nursing

    In my hospital (and in the LTC I've worked at), I could, based on availability of OT only, work literally 24/7. I'm a brat and only do OT on my unit (or one of our sister units once in a blue moon),...

  25. Fractured Pubic Symphysis when pushing?!

    KellNY replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep-it happens. Natures way of making room, I guess. (similar in that sense to a broken tailbone p
