  1. Whats with the scrubs?

    KellNY replied to scattycarrot's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a clean unit, many days I don't come into contact with any type of bodily fluid. I don't get pooped on, coughed on, peed on, bled on, etc, on a regular basis, and if i were to become...

  2. BSN does not mean better... Sometimes education is overrated!

    KellNY replied to lovegoddess1977's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wolf, would you not agree that there is more to proof of education than passing rates? Especially since NCLEX is

  3. Questions

    KellNY replied to kitty catt's topic in General Nursing

    Are you going to be an RN or LPN? A nurse in a clinic or doctors office may be asked to write out a prescription that the doctor dictates to her and then signs. The nurse herself can never prescribe...

  4. Adelphi University Nursing

    KellNY replied to LAROSILIERE7's topic in New York Nursing

    There is no LPN and no ADN. It is BS only. (MSN too) If you are eligable for financial aid, Adelphi will accept it, but with $20k tuition, it's very doubtful that financial aid will cover...

  5. Longest you've had an AP pt on your unit?

    KellNY replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We've had PPROMs who ruptured at 20 weeks and delivered at

  6. OB tech and doula training

    KellNY replied to cel122's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because as a poster mentioned above, an ob tech is mostly technical-stripping beds, setting up the birthing table, cleaning up after the birth (housekeeping doesn't do bio-mat, at least not where I...

  7. Oldest pregnant patient you have seen?

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    1st of all, because I harbor no ill will towards these "babies" (and at what age does a person stop being a baby in your eyes? 13? 15? 17? 20?). A girl/woman of any age deserves excellent nursing...

  8. Oldest pregnant patient you have seen?

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that it adds to the already present risk that one parent may have to bear the burden of raising a child alone.I coparent with my son's father, for what it's worth. He's very involved in...

  9. Oldest pregnant patient you have seen?

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a single mother. Any reason that you ask? Any reason you assume I was ever married? And I think it's pretty safe for me to assume that you don't support a family in an island off the coast of...

  10. Oldest pregnant patient you have seen?

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    msdobson, none of these women make me sick-even the ones who are supported by the state. Post like your make me feel ill, especially when you assume things to be true that aren't. (ie that you are...

  11. Foley Catheter Insertion

    KellNY replied to sports2245's topic in General Students

    I think the point of unscrewing the syringe is to make sure the valve works and that it won't leak, thus deflating the balloon and letting the cath slip right out during T&P or movement, etc....

  12. real help needed

    KellNY replied to scottish's topic in General Nursing

    Are you for real???

  13. AWHONN guidlines??

    KellNY posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Reading another thread got me to thinking--where can I find AWHONN guidlines (specifically r/t antepartum)? I've searched this forum, and I've seen anywhere from 1:6 to 1:4 to My facility is a 1:6...

  14. I need some good resources

    KellNY replied to jessnurse05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wouldn't be so quick to say that the teens aren't interested. Just because they don't act interested doesn't mean they aren't. Teens-especially pregnant teens--get asumed upon a lot. People...

  15. I have 3 kids....have a ???

    KellNY replied to KMP77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not always the case. We just took a 16y/o to teh OR to excise a labial hematoma....poor thing had a totally drug free L&D, but got an epidural for this. It was about the size of half an orange....

  16. What is the best way to pick an area of expertise?

    KellNY replied to Learning More's topic in General Nursing

    welcome! If you don't have a very strong idea as to where you want to go into, then chill. Get your BSN and while doing that, see what piques your interest both in lecture and clinicals. In...

  17. Is there a Doctor in the house? Working a code without one in an LTAC

    KellNY replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I think the Pt's insurence would cover that (or the pt's family for the copays and whatnot). That's how it's been where I've worked. We had one great son who cursed us out for...

  18. Is there a Doctor in the house? Working a code without one in an LTAC

    KellNY replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    3 words: Oh HELL

  19. Do I have any legal recourse???

    KellNY replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    In a way I agree with you. But no one has said to the OP "You definitely would have gotten this job had it not been for Ms. XYZ having stated that blahbahblah about you". Thus making it impossible...

  20. Do I have any legal recourse???

    KellNY replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    Not legally, not unless the OP could prove that he was not able to get an equal job (ie he was somehow black balled in all area hospitals). Even then, to prove that the decision rested solely on this...

  21. Do I have any legal recourse???

    KellNY replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    Since it's all about principle, can you tell us what that was? If it was just something on a test, there's no HIPAA to worry about or anything. It might help us to understand your situation. ...and...

  22. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But they do reproduce...and their children suffer--which makes society as a whole suffer. When you turn your back on them, you're turning your back on everyone, because everyone is effected. Why is...

  23. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Viking posted plenty of links--do you have any to prove that "most" very wealthy people are huge donors? And you wanting a free dinner from your neighbors....yes, that's the same thing as a child not...

  24. Do I have any legal recourse???

    KellNY replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    While you do sound absolutely lovable, Dakkon (and I mean that, especially with the kneecap and going for the throat bit), good luck finding an attorney who'll take your case based on what someone...

  25. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

    KellNY replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    khakis and a button up collared shirt, no
