  1. Will the real Dr. House plz stand up!

    Jokerhill replied to Mr. Evans's topic in General Nursing

    I have never seen it form one Dr. alone but a combination of many situations sure. I was in another room when a Dr., asked the interpreter as the patient did not speak english, anyway he very loudly...

  2. help me please....

    Jokerhill replied to jmo2002's topic in General Nursing

    You say it will take 5 years to complete the schooling, it you take only half the classes at a time it will take 10 years to finish. Never give up your dreams even if it takes longer than ten years...

  3. Order for a consent

    Jokerhill replied to kanashe's topic in General Nursing

    The MD gives the R&B's obtaining consent at the time he talks to them. Then I go in later without the MD to have them sign the form. This way they have a few minutes to think with out the MD there...

  4. Are travel nurses needed anymore?

    Jokerhill replied to esthomprn's topic in General Nursing

    I do hope the travel field takes off even more. If nursing wants to be a profession this is going to be how it starts. Contracting out your services and not working for the hospital as part of the bed...

  5. When the RN becomes the Patient

    Jokerhill replied to Tele_Nurse4u's topic in General Nursing

    The blood supply is much more safe now than at any other time in the past, it is extremely well tested. How about having a family member tested for a match. My mother was given mine and my sisters...

  6. Life after nursing school: did you keep your "stuff"

    Jokerhill replied to carajoy's topic in General Nursing

    I remembered how broke I was when I started nursing school so I found a deserving student and gave her a great head start, boxes and boxes of it. She already had some so she gave the duplicates to a...

  7. this makes me sick

    Jokerhill replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not that I disagree about the Dr. doing a AROM, but so that outdated information does not get spread about delivering babies due to premature rupture. It is now acceptable to keep PPROM moms for...

  8. Is it ok for your work to call you after you called in sick?

    Jokerhill replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they needed you to come in and cover the L&D, as they did not have anyone at all to work it. Hell I delivered a baby in the parking lot one day by myself, I don't work L&D either, but...

  9. Please Help! Major ERROR

    Jokerhill replied to FLA-RN's topic in General Nursing

    MD should have checked and signed order within 24 hours for a phone order. If it is not signed b then and the other nurses continued to give it it is not just your error. MAR should have been checked...

  10. First pt code... is this normal?

    Jokerhill replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    If you did not think about it you would be abnormal or worse uncaring. I analyze everyone of them sometimes a bit to much and I have been on many, most with positive outcomes thankfully. I think it...

  11. Bad Boys, Nice Guys and Real Men™

    Jokerhill replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    i am a nurse in the nicu so i guess i'm sensitive. i am a member of a car club called the outlaws so i guess i'm a bad boy. or maybe i am a complex individual capable of being many things, having no...

  12. Will my hair cause any problems?

    Jokerhill replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Men in Nursing

    I want to know more about the wigs for kids program. I don't think they want my gray hair but my son donates his to lock of Love, and I bet he would prefer this program. Thanks in advance,

  13. Question Guys: Do you enjoy nursing?

    Jokerhill replied to guyRN2009's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't go to work to love it I go and do the best job I can. I learn as much as I can and do as much as they will let me. I always want to be the best at what I do and that in turn is the motivation...

  14. Do you push Fentanyl on the floor?

    Jokerhill replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sure does, I have seen it

  15. A Professor's Grade Deflation Policy

    Jokerhill replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What is your programs NCLX pass rate? I will bet it is not 100% so they are not giving you everything everyone needs. It sounds like a typical nursing program to me, nursing is not a typical...

  16. Help with understanding clotting disorder

    Jokerhill replied to ConcernedMama's topic in General Nursing

    blood coagulation or clotting takes place in 3 essential phases. the first phase is the activation of a prothrombin activator complex. the second phase is the activation of prothrombin. the third...

  17. Help with understanding clotting disorder

    Jokerhill replied to ConcernedMama's topic in General Nursing

    i cant seem to edit my original post to add this: you are right it can be helpful in evaluating a patient with liver disease, but not usefull for treatment. it would be like doing a patient assessment...

  18. Help with understanding clotting disorder

    Jokerhill replied to ConcernedMama's topic in General Nursing

    I wont give you advice on your family as it is not permitted here. What I will tell you about is the INR (international standardization ratio ). It is a calculated number using the Protime result, the...

  19. Wondering what other policies are re: Warming Bottles

    Jokerhill replied to DonnaH123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You don't worry about cross contamination? Breast milk is a bodily fluid you know. And a warm water bath seems like a nice place to grow

  20. please HELP ME!!

    Jokerhill replied to ssroadrunner's topic in General Nursing

    Check other state boards requirements, it may be easier there to get your license. Then see if your state will recognize it and allow to you get a license there just by paying the required fees (some...

  21. fired after 25yrs of service, where to go from here

    Jokerhill replied to montanadreamer's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like there is more to both of your stories than you are telling here. Not to attack you but to try to explain what they may be seeing. I see the Dr, took you off work and 3 knee surgeries,...

  22. Donating blood- is it safe ?

    Jokerhill replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    It is very safe !!! You may get a small hematoma is the biggest risk, or slightly hopoglycemic so eat well before you go. Go on your blood banks web site and they will give you the pre-donation...

  23. High School student needing advice!!!

    Jokerhill replied to IfEverWeWake's topic in General Nursing

    You my friend are mistaken it is a big deal, there is enough confusion in the world, with people who are not nurses at all passing themselves off as nurses the public deserves to know who they are...

  24. same test ..different name..

    Jokerhill replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just for you to know if the Dr. does not give orders correctly the insurance will not pay. That means he needs to order a BMP not a chem 7 for an example. And that is up to him, not you to translate,...

  25. help my first week and all hell broke loose nurse, mother, wife!

    Jokerhill replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    Jobs are jobs and family is family, we work so as to better care for our families, not for money. You can get another job if needed but replacing your family is not so
