  1. I rarely answer medical questions or give advice online...

    KellNY replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    What place is

  2. Would you rather have a child said to be SS or abort?

    KellNY replied to ICURN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agreed. But no matter what the moral beliefs or what option is chosen, the right still exists.

  3. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    KellNY replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    Are you going to pay my bills? Because if I don't work, my son doesn't eat, and I don't have health insurence. Yeah, pretty high standards I

  4. Would you rather have a child said to be SS or abort?

    KellNY replied to ICURN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually we do, otherwise we wouldn't be having this

  5. Okay, Dumb question=Diluting meds

    KellNY replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused....if the order is for toradol 15mg and it comes in a 30mL vial, you'd draw up 0.5mL. You'd draw that up into an empty syringe, and dilute the rest with NS or whatever you're...

  6. Choosing a Practicum Senior Year

    KellNY replied to nursing twin's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: Go into the field where you think you might be interested. I went into OB because I knew that's what I wanted to do, and I loved my internship! I got to do so much, and had some really...

  7. Possible to Work as a CNA without State license?

    KellNY replied to noni06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You must mean state certification. A CNA is not licensed in any state. Having gotten that out of the way-some places will hire you without the certification, but most likely at a lower pay rate, and...

  8. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    KellNY replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That's pretty

  9. Will I need a female RN with me every time????

    KellNY replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here every ob/gyn needs an "assistant" in the room when performing pelvic exams, cervidil placement, etc, be they male or female. It's not a gender thing-at least not where I

  10. Will I need a female RN with me every time????

    KellNY replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Speak for yourself. When I've had male MDs give me a gyn exam, that female nurse or med student in the room didn't make me feel more comfortable. Just one extra person in the room to see my yoni--who...

  11. Scrubs

    KellNY replied to pro-rose's topic in International Nursing

    ebay. Just make sure to buy from canadian sellers (unless you're willing to pay the extra shipping). Also, it helps to know the different brand sizing differences, that way, you know that you need...

  12. Would you rather have a child said to be SS or abort?

    KellNY replied to ICURN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pearl, do you realize the irony in posting a link that is clearly from a PROLIFE site? I think a lot of the guilt felt by women who have abortions is caused by these types of messages--they are made...

  13. First semester grades. Need some insight.

    KellNY replied to FAM600's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not going to look good-especially because it isn't just a fluff course (as opposed to, say, Women in Contemporary Media, or some such humanities course). Really though, it depends on a few...

  14. Fetal death after maternal death

    KellNY replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're saying that the fetus was without oxygen for 20 minutes and not only survived, but lived a productive, relatively healthy

  15. College Network

    KellNY replied to Laught3r's topic in LPN to RN

    I like you, the

  16. College Network

    KellNY replied to Laught3r's topic in LPN to RN

    Does anyone find it interesting that all but 3 or 4 of critter's 22 posts have been endorsements for the college network? Some complete with underhanded insults for those who didn't do well on the...

  17. LPN licenser during RN school?

    KellNY replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    RNsRWe, this was about 2 and a half years ago I think. And I believe it was 3 (full time) semesters we

  18. Generic Zoloft Anyone?

    KellNY replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I just looked at my sisters bottle (I"m at her house right now), and you're right--It's Teva that gave her the upset stomach. Manufactured in Jerusalem by Teva pharmacies. How

  19. teaching children about death?

    KellNY replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    An excellent book is When Dinosaurs Die. It really is a great book, because it talks about death truthfully and honestly, while still being gentle and simple enough for a child to understand. You...

  20. LPN licenser during RN school?

    KellNY replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    I second what Damary said. I sat for my LPN boards with minimal studying (didn't have the time or energy while being a single mother and taking FT RN classes)-I figured if I passed, great! If not,...

  21. Er nurses making fun of patients

    KellNY replied to Draken's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sorry you went through all of that... But this: is totally out of

  22. Rampant Racisim in Hospitals!!

    KellNY replied to goodkittie395's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's one thing. But I have a co-worker (an RN) who refuses to learn or use one single word in Spanish. Won't even learn the OB basics (contractions, fluid, pain, etc). How she completes her...

  23. Question... are we supposed to help? Good Samaritan.

    KellNY replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    To snowfreeze: Okay, even if EMS are just "a few minutes away" (and there are lots of places where this isn't the case...the average wait time last year was 27 minutes in my area--we're all volunteer,...

  24. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    KellNY replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    What??

  25. Generic Zoloft Anyone?

    KellNY replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    My sister switched a few months ago when it came out-she said it upset her stomach a lot. (And she hadn't noticed that they switched her to the generic). She originally thought she had a virus, but...
