  1. Environment of the room during a code

    jackson145 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ED and during a code most people walking by wouldn't even know a code was taking place. The bosses tell us this is a sign of our success. We have other patients in the ED, often right...

  2. Have you ever called 911 from your hospital?

    jackson145 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We're too small for security. Luckily, we have a very pretty X-ray tech and the cops are racing to beat each other to our door when we call

  3. The importance of RN to BSN?

    jackson145 replied to wasabiRN's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the nurses at my hospital get their BSN online while they are working. Our hospital will pay for almost all of it if you are a full-time employee.

  4. Is there anything that you cannot handle as a Nurse?

    jackson145 replied to cammy429's topic in General Nursing

    Hairs bother me. Not a head of hair or dirty hair but, like, one single hair that gets stuck on your skin and you can feel it but can't find it right away. Or finding a hair on your work surface or...

  5. Scrubs

    jackson145 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you ever looked at the web site for Uniform City? They have a whole section called "The White Stuff" and it's cheaper than the prints and even the solid colors. If you're needing several...

  6. Translation

    jackson145 replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    I do sometimes have to go with my grandad to translate his "hick" speech for the Doc,

  7. Translation

    jackson145 replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you can tell how far in the sticks I live. We've never had a situation come up where we needed a

  8. Eww white uniforms??

    jackson145 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    Don't you find that the Tide pen (or something like it) still leaves an outlined circle? Granted, a soap circle is better than a poo stain! I really like baby wipes for stain removal. Takes out...

  9. Eww white uniforms??

    jackson145 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    I've heard more complaints about the awful uniforms students used to wear from veteran nurses than newbies. Even some of my instructors have bemoaned the unattractive skirts/aprons/pinafores. My...

  10. Eww white uniforms??

    jackson145 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    I was worried about white because I can never find underwear that don't show through. I'm also glad for the black pants because my caboose it so big (maybe it'll camouflage

  11. I have a Question...

    jackson145 replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be cheaper to get them from Ebay or even most bookstores (other than ones on campus). Just make sure they won't pick different books before your semester begins. It seems like my school...

  12. Eww white uniforms??

    jackson145 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    My school used to do all white. You couldn't even bleach it because of all the colored piping. Now we have black pants and white tops with a white smock. The smock looks like something my grandma...

  13. What is the order of the nursing career ladder?

    jackson145 replied to miachris2's topic in General Nursing

    Don't a lot of NS require you to have your CNA before starting? It's not required at my school, but I think some people do that first to make sure they'll like nursing before spending the $ on...

  14. What is the order of the nursing career ladder?

    jackson145 replied to miachris2's topic in General Nursing

    I know a young QMA who was never a CNA, so I'm still not sure about the

  15. What is the order of the nursing career ladder?

    jackson145 replied to miachris2's topic in General Nursing

    How does QMA rank compared to

  16. Needing advice for A&P I!!!

    jackson145 replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get overwelmed. Try to break it all into small sections and go over it as often as you have time. It's a lot of memorization and flash cards work for some people (not me) so you might try...

  17. Mitered Corners

    jackson145 replied to JENN1FER's topic in General Students

    When I'm sick, I couldn't care less what the sheets on the bed look like. I'm more picky about whether they're stained. A lot of ours (where I work) are stained, as well as the blankets. I know...

  18. ??Pre-requisites??

    jackson145 replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd go for Medical Terminology. I wish I'd have taken it before I tackled the ANP's. It would have made it a lot easier. Also, it was an enjoyable

  19. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    jackson145 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't really matter, just curious. One of my biggest reasons to choose nursing is financial security, after all. But, when you get into something for the wrong reasons, sometimes it makes you...

  20. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    jackson145 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious, are you in NS because you'd love to be a nurse or because it will make enough $ to retire very

  21. first name last name issue and drama

    jackson145 replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like the least capable people are always put in a supervisory role. They are always focusing on the least important things at the most inappropriate times. Sometimes I think administration...

  22. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    jackson145 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    No benefits is scary. After 1 perfectly healthy child, my next was born with infantile glaucoma (he's fine now) and the bills quickly reached about $50,000 for his first surgeries. If you're going...

  23. Medical Terminology Info, Books, Sites

    jackson145 replied to adayrider's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished that class. Do you have the textbook yet? Our teacher switched our book for one that used a systems approach and we had a test for each body system. It made it a lot easier to...

  24. Will this reflect negative upon me?

    jackson145 replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Compared to many others, I don't think you've done that much job hopping. All your moves sounded strategic to

  25. first name last name issue and drama

    jackson145 replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she's using that excuse to get out of work. I know many people who will cling to some ridiculous "principal" just to avoid getting involved. It doesn't matter to them at all if they...
