  1. "Flipped Classrooms" for nursing internships

    classicdame replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    had a big complaint first thing this morning from a nurse who did not study for ACLS (takes too long) and then failed the course. We do pay them for attendance but not for

  2. Endoscopy Center without RN in procedure room ??

    classicdame replied to hatfieldrocks's topic in Gastroenterology

    the obvious disadvantage in my view is that, should an emergency occur, the CRNA would be busy with the airway and no one else could do nursing

  3. Infectious Diseases and Chemicals you have been exposed to with or without knowing?

    classicdame replied to TraumaSurfer's topic in General Nursing

    I guess this is why universal precautions are necessary. Many of the things described by OP could happen at almost any job. You cannot control who comes to work sick, etc. In hospitals we have friends...

  4. "Omg. I just got my CNA license, and I'm giving narcs."

    classicdame replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    licensure is awarded by the state after specific criteria is met. Otherwise it is a certificate. But the real problem is that no one is turning this facility in to the state health department or BON....

  5. Working the holidays

    classicdame replied to Karebear29's topic in General Nursing

    you are on the right track - being pleasant any time of the year goes a long way. I would make an effort to ensure no one is alone for very

  6. Taking additional classes while in nursing school?

    classicdame replied to lth1123's topic in General Students

    really up to you of course, but I preferred to stay in the student mode and get all my classes out of the way. Otherwise I felt I wasted the time. If you need a break then you should take

  7. TNCC as a student nurse?

    classicdame replied to jglover4168's topic in General Students

    TNCC is for licensed RN's

  8. Concerned about light duty work

    classicdame replied to Clovery's topic in General Nursing

    desk work is up and down and that is what the doctor said you could do. You are lucky. My facility does not offer light

  9. I've Been A Nurse For 5 Years & Still.....

    classicdame replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    why would someone go to nursing school if they did not want to care for sick people? If she is your friend she may be making excuses because she has learned she really is not cut out for the job and...

  10. Anyone go to a Nursing convention?

    classicdame replied to lrc1203's topic in General Nursing

    I have been to a few before money got tight in hospital budget. Too expensive to pay for on my own but I have to say I always came back with good information to

  11. Hospital is filing ch 11 bankrupcy, what to expect?

    classicdame replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    so being in a union puts your job at risk? Why pay the dues

  12. Help me prep for my first practicum!

    classicdame replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    cell phone use is against policy in my facility. All of the above posts have excellent advice. The key is to play nice. I am glad you are so eager. That is why I like working with

  13. Just got into associates in nursing program

    classicdame replied to eggsbacon's topic in General Students

    Nurses like to worry in advance, so it sounds like you are in the right career trajectory! I recommend you follow willowita's advice. Also, let your riends and family know that you may not be...

  14. Ribavirin exposure

    classicdame replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think you have the right to pick and choose your

  15. Too much???

    classicdame replied to Mandy0728's topic in General Students

    I guess you are the only one who knows how much you can handle but it does sound like an awful lot to me. Will you really retain anything you learned? Remember, you will have to recall information...

  16. Falsify credentials

    classicdame replied to cptkathy's topic in General Nursing

    Get fired. Maybe face BON reprimand or suspension due to unprofessional behavior. Maybe face lawsuit or criminal negligence if patient dies in your care. Crazy to risk any of these

  17. HELP! Failed NCLEX-RN 6 times!

    classicdame replied to hmctaa0511's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would consider another career, at least temporarily. The next option might be a tutor, but that is costly. Maybe if you tried EMS or some other industry-related career you would be more content....

  19. AHA Fees

    classicdame replied to Sharon1027's topic in General Nursing

    depends on the local market. AHA charges all training centers the same amount for supplies but the training center and instructor is free to charge whatever the market will bear. We charge $30 for...

  20. are fluids and electrolytes really THAT bad?

  21. are fluids and electrolytes really THAT bad?

    classicdame replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in General Students

    oops. The book is F&E Made Incrediby easy.

  22. are fluids and electrolytes really THAT bad?

    classicdame replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in General Students

    I believe F&E are considered difficult because we must create a new paradigm of thinking. We tend to think of cells and vessels as "boxes" but in fact they are quite fluid. Some things move in and...

  23. Last semester of nursing school, should I move out?

    classicdame replied to unbalanced's topic in General Students

    I vote for whichever option affords you the less stress. Moving in with boyfriend just to get away from Mom is not good, but moving in to have peace is

  24. Going back to work after 12 weeks of Maternity Leave

    classicdame replied to Jahna's topic in Emergency

    I think you will surprise yourself as to how quickly you return to your nurse role. Never hesitate to ask for help, though, as people like to assist. Congrats on the baby! Nothing is more

  25. If a person codes at Walmart..

    classicdame replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    tattoos is art, not a legal document. For all I know it is your SO's
