  1. anyone have a nose ring?

    KellNY replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    I have a nosering. I get lots of compliments on it, and a few questions (most common are "Did that hurt?" and "When did you get that done & how much did it cost?"), though not enough for it to be...

  2. Tattoos & Nursing

    KellNY replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Nursing

    That was productive and really added something to the content of the thread. Thanks for that

  3. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    KellNY replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    oncallloraine--I'm glad you weren't there for my Grandfather's "beautiful journey" where he drowned in his own secretions, alternating between choking and screaming in pain from the PVCs he was...

  5. Too many attempts at a spinal tap?

    KellNY replied to Moe75_Rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You should speak to a lawyer (and if you already have, speak to another one). I work at a teaching hospital, and we sure can get sued! Our residents, attendings, nurses, etc have been sued in the...

  6. Hello all, I'm a single mom worried about juggling school & full-time work

    KellNY replied to peoplefriendly1080's topic in General Students

    I don't think they can have actual rules about working. A school I was applying to said it was not an option, forbidden, etc. When I asked them to show me where it said that, they went "Well, it's...

  7. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    KellNY replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OP-You're in Philly-there are PLENTY of clinical sites that you could share with all the other schools for an OB and Peds clinical. Even if you did the bulk of the work at a free/public clinic that...

  8. Hello all, I'm a single mom worried about juggling school & full-time work

    KellNY replied to peoplefriendly1080's topic in General Students

    I'm not trying to discourage you, but it's very hard to work FT and go to school FT and raise children. When I was doing my clinicals, most semesters it was 2 days of the week from 8am-5pm (usually...

  9. Why is this PC bullcrap prioritized above people's lives?

    KellNY replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Just confused by the OP-you said it was a CNA school, then you mention her passing her state boards...? I could quite possibly be missing something.

  10. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    KellNY replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in NY, and yes, one of the community colleges (that I know of) on the island offers an associates in MA. I know 3 people who got their degree this way, and ALL of them are very proud of being...

    KellNY replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was acting like that before I even registered for the

  12. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    KellNY replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am horrible at chemistry. Terrible. And my professor for Chem II (or whatever it was called) was no good at all. I lost sleep over that class-seriously. So yes, I was hoping, praying, begging for a...

  13. Trouble giving IM injections :(

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

    To answer your questions as best I can-even if it is a small vein and you inject the med into it, it's the same thing as giving the med IV Push, so yes, it would be absorbed quicker and differently...

  14. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    KellNY replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG-What's in the L&D water cooler lately? I'm being harassed for the same junk lately, stupid charting stuff. And for whatever they're really latching on...6 weeks ago a family member died and...

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do what the MD wants? Great advice to a member of a profession who's job (and ethical) duties call for playing the vital role of PATIENT ADVOCATE. Didn't you cover that in your BSN courses? There...

    Wow. Sorry that my sexual assault is so blah blah blah to you. I'm sure you're a very compassionate OB

    Roy, You being my (male) nurse in the ER for a broken bone, s/p a lap chole, or in IR to load me up with contrast, awesome, excellent, cool beans. But you as my (male) RN for a pelvic exam? Sorry,...

    KellNY replied to JRapha'sRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Prepare yourself ~Take a childbirth class (I suggest one independant of the hospital-if you can) ~Know the basics. I don't expect you to be able to teach an anatomy lesson, but most pregnancy books...

  22. Too many attempts at a spinal tap?

    KellNY replied to Moe75_Rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not sure what you disagree with. If it is a teaching hospital, then a resident certainly is allowed to (attempt to) perform a spinal tap on a neonate. This is true whether or not you agree that it...

  23. Too many attempts at a spinal tap?

    KellNY replied to Moe75_Rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Awww...poor little guy (or girl?). I'm not sure what the policy is at your hospital, but just wanted to mention that a resident is a doctor. I'm guessing that you work at a teaching hospital, and...

  24. Advice for new grad starting in L&D???

    KellNY replied to darthsunshine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry that my advice to post your question here (where there is more traffic) and my concern that 6 weeks was too short of an orientation was too negative. :uhoh21: So, positive happy suggestions?...

  25. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    KellNY replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn
