    AnnieOaklyRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Well there goes that surprise if the bad guy happens to enter your room while you are still asleep, will be a big surprise for YOU when he has your gun because he saw it out in the open!!! One of the...

  2. Gun Owning Nurses

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    So you don't think main stream media is liberal? So why is it that whenever there is a shooting with innocent victims being shot it is all over the news stations, but when someone actually stops a...

  3. Gun Owning Nurses

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    If you read my post I did not generalize at all! Hense the part that says "some people".

  4. Gun Owning Nurses

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nurse, a lady, and I love guns. She sounds like some liberal that has lived under a rock her whole life! Some people just do not have an open mind and let the liberal media fill their heads...

  5. Fire safety, who is responsible

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to simonsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I would just have security evaluate it and if they feel it is necessary they can contact the FD.

  6. Is it wise to start taking courses for BSN while in ADN program?

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    Hi, I would wait since as a lot of RN-BSN classes are nursing based and you need to already have your RN to take them. There are also some "gen ed" type classes that you could take, but if you are...

  7. Could I be sued for neglect or lose my license over this?

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Ccinct's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Please do not put someone on a non-rebreather at 5 LPM, you are actually giving them less oxygen than is in the atmosphere! A non-rebreather needs to be at at least 10 LPM of oxygen. Please review...

  8. Part Time Nursing Programs

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to britthoch1's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I don't think you will find a part time nursing program, but you may find one with more flexible clinical times like in the evening etc. Nursing is a lot of work so you may want to wait until your...

  9. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    The patient is probably an alcoholic and is not interested in stopping. It's Ativan or Whiskey, both MAY interact with medications, but since the patient may seize without either you have to pick...

  10. I WOULD NOT recommend Brookdale

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Slyder's topic in School, College Programs

    This is going to sound terrible, but... Welcome to college millennial. It's called hard work, college is not easy, especially nursing, suck it up, this is the norm!

  11. Called a code for a seizing patient

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to thesimplenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would be more concerned about why you did chest compressions if you felt a radial pulse?? It depends on your hospital with regards to called a code. If you have a stat team I would do that instead,...

  12. I have not a clue on this impossible math problem

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to bsnursing2018's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If i did the math right the drip will be done at 12:11. It's been a while though...

  13. I think I will give negative feedback

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Pick and choose your battles. This was a small irritation in the grand scheme of life. Get over it and move on, without being a whiner who complains about little crap, little crap which could get...

  14. I think I will give negative feedback

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All you ever write about here is DRAMA. You LOVE creating DRAMA. Leave them alone, for god sakes they were talking politics WHO CARES! GROW UP! Entitled whiney patients/coworkers like you are the...

  15. Do most nurses not like writing papers?

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I liked doing power points as long as it was a topic of interest, but papers, not so much. I think I have a bit of ADHD so my attention span is less than stellar!

  17. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    EMS--slow walk----> Nursing -----RUNNING-----> EMS

  18. Bed Bugs

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    MAY kill them, I wouldn't risk that!

  19. Bed Bugs

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    1) Bed bugs are resistant to many pesticides and they also hide in places like sockets where the pesticide won't even reach. The only proven treatment is high heat (I think it is around 150 degrees)...

  20. Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Good luck in school! I ride my motorcycle (although thinking about ditching that for an ATV since other drivers are becoming less and less focused on the road and more focused on electronics!),...

  21. Can I transfer with an AAS in medical assistant

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Jasminsiah's topic in General Nursing

    I would do a BS in chemistry or biology, as a BSN does not meet the science requirements for PA programs and you would have to take additional classes just to get into a program.

  22. Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    No, not the law the physics, it's the law of I don't anyone seeing my terrible picture!

  23. Kenacort A injection

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to wkdguswjd's topic in General Nursing

    That would be something you need to speak to a pharmacist with regards too or do research. Someone here may be able to help, but you would get more information on your own I think.

  24. Nurse selling to patient

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to broosevader's topic in General Nursing

    Is it written in you policies that it isn't allowed, if not I don't think you would have a leg to stand on. I would add it to the policies and then speak with this nurse. Is it unethical yes...

  25. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    AnnieOaklyRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Would you be interested in adopting a 38 year old "kid"? What's one more?
