  1. Msn,rn,apn,acns-bc,cen,cpen

    meteorite36 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    At this point I am sure you are wondering exactly what this thread is about. I don't usually initiate a thread, however, I am trying to read an article in ENA "Connection." It is nearly impossible to...

  2. Msn,rn,apn,acns-bc,cen,cpen

    meteorite36 replied to meteorite36's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Please don't be personal, it is not a rant, merely an observation. Yes my CNM took many years of studying. The reason I included the "alphabet soup" as someone described it, was to illustrate irony....

  3. I failed a prereq

    meteorite36 replied to delonghi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would finish the class. Even if you fail, you will still get exposure to the study material which will help you when you retake the class - it is a pre-requisite so I assume you can keep retaking...

  4. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    meteorite36 replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why not blame the government for allowing flights from infected areas to land in the United States? They still refuse to deal with this issue. Secondly, let's blame the airline and their screening...

  5. morphine ivp

    meteorite36 replied to oharnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am an RN so I don't prescribe meds, but I have noticed that if it is really a kidney stone, Toradol works

  6. Passed NCLEX on 4th Attempt!!!!

    meteorite36 replied to aurn2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats. I really admire you. Well

  7. Written up and confused.

    meteorite36 replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your supervisor is not in a position to threaten your license, that is a decision which can only be made by your state board of nursing. She is a bully. Your actions were quite correct and...

  8. Start in Postpartum or L&D?

    meteorite36 replied to nurseygurlie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D! You already do the post-partum care in the recovery period following delivery. Try to take a course in Breastfeeding/Lactation Education to round up your skills. Good

  9. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    It would be nice if the nurse practitioners responding here were a little more polite and respectful whatever their opinions of 'nurses'. Ask any doctor, it doesn't pay to **** off the nurses,...

  10. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think Sanuk makes a good point

  11. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    meteorite36 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the level of qualification, there are the good, the bad, and the plain ugly! This problem will escalate as I now meet new nursing grads who would rather work as a tech in the ER, than...

  12. Tattoo cover up

    meteorite36 replied to juniorminty's topic in General Nursing

    Move to California - doesn't seem to be a problem here. The Dermablend is worthless, even for a cover up for evening dresses where it is not subjected to water or friction. The wristwatch idea...

  13. BSN Equivalent

    meteorite36 replied to k.mims's topic in General Nursing

    Excelsior College to an accredited online RN-MSN program. Good

  14. Fundus palping

    meteorite36 replied to nurse/midwifekim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, we have computer charting which does both height and position. The charting is efficient but very time

  15. Fundus palping

    meteorite36 replied to nurse/midwifekim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is standard protocol for both midwives and labour and delivery nurses. Palpating the fundus also allows you to assess the bladder, which, if full, may precipitate excessive blood loss. A full...

  16. Clonus.....what Is This Test For??

    meteorite36 replied to InmyblooD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very flippant and unhelpful comments here. I'm so glad you are all 'nurse of the year' candidates at your local community hospitals. New discoveries are being made regarding pre-eclampsia all the...
