    ABC vs CAB

    JBudd replied to Eithanhunt's topic in General Students

    You need to clarify with that instructor. CAB is taught during BLS and ACLS. Even for a respiratory arrest, you start with CAB. If they have a good pulse you don't start compressions but you still...

    Baptist Nursing Scholarship

    JBudd replied to Victoria.Hern016's topic in School, College Programs

    First off, you haven't told us what the scholarship program is, which Baptist hospital in which city/state, (I am at a Baptist hospital in India just now!). I think you will get more response if you...

    Turn Q2 and patient refuses

    JBudd replied to AnLe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Forcing them to turn can be considered battery; touching without consent. Explaining, teaching, being as gently as possible, but in the end the patient has the right to refuse. Get the doctor...

    Work place violence, is the ER safe?

    JBudd replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I have been bitten by a wild person, (2 felony convictions for battery on a health care worker), still have a small scar. Bitten more by mistake than intent by an SI pt whose stomach we were pumping...

    Help with Major CNA Problems

    JBudd replied to JSBoston's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hmm, in your original January post; you emptied a drain you weren't supposed to, were playing music on your cell phone (even if it was "for the pt"), and you turned down the alarm on an IV pump. That...

    Lost my husband on Holiday Break

    JBudd replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I too lost my husband. When you are ready to cry, find a place and let yourself. As often as needed. When you are angry, be angry, don't try to say "I shouldn't" or think that there is anything wrong...

    What do you do when a patient threatens harm?

    JBudd replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I said most of what I learned: stick fighting, sparring, some really nasty ways to take out an attacker. Yes, I know how to kill, because we have to learn what not to do in order not to kill....

    CARE PLAN HELP

    JBudd replied to Mmathieson07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Look at the pathophysiology of each, what problems they might cause, and what could a nurse do about any of them. Nursing care plan = what is the problem and what can I do about

    Cumulative GPA

    JBudd replied to ajs2286's topic in General Students

    I had a great GPA going into nursing school, and dumped it by getting a C for a 5 credit hour fundamentals class. Got hired at the hospital I really wanted, they didn't ask about GPA, only if I...

    ESL Student

    JBudd replied to Merry120's topic in General Students

    Practice in front of people, ask your classmates to let you read stuff to them and give you feedback. You said you do well with people you know, so it is just a matter of becoming comfortable with...

    What do you eat for breakfast?

    JBudd replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    I often can't stomach "food" for a couple of hours after I wake up. Slim Fast goes down fairly easily, is already made, fairly cheap, and suppresses appetite for 4 hours. I'm not dieting, but...

    Hair does in nursing shoes

    JBudd replied to Moonsun1996's topic in General Students

    I'm with all the above posters, don't do it. Even if you got an okay from your school, some of your clinical sites may refuse

    What do you do when a patient threatens harm?

    JBudd replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, except most of what I've learned can't or shouldn't be used against a patient, lol. But with practice you (I) know what we can do or how to do just enough to defend without going too far. My...

    Online Faculty with MSN?

    JBudd replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Education pay, to put it mildly, ah, doesn't. Pay that is. I have an MSN in nursing ed, and have been adjunct faculty as a 2nd job from my hospital one. I really enjoyed classroom, lab was pretty...

    Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    JBudd replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think of myself as having "less aspiration" than you :), merely a different focus. As you don't know me, you have no idea how far the reach of "people around me"

    Should I accept a SNF position as a new grad even though this is not the field I want?

    JBudd replied to FishBones's topic in Nursing Career

    I was just joking.... my mortgage is paid off this next February. I'm not going anywhere! Except on vacation :) I did work 3 years at UCSF

    Attitude differences between nurses & doctors?

    JBudd replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ambitious and worthwhile, but I would be happy with "she made a difference in our lives" from the people around me. Just a thought. When I was going back to school, several of my docs in the ER were...

    C'Mon Now!

    JBudd replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    It took me three days to read this whole thread.... wow! Been 20 years in the ER, but you guys scare me! Think I'll just stay here in my triage and trauma bays

    Success with going back to old career?

    JBudd replied to psychRN136's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried hospice, or school nursing? My daughter is a hospice chaplain and loves her folks. Nursing is a lot of assessment and pain control, not too much in the way of IVs or such. There is a...

    Should I accept a SNF position as a new grad even though this is not the field I want?

    JBudd replied to FishBones's topic in Nursing Career

    No other offers? take it! I only make $48 with a masters and 37 years experience (maybe I should move to California?

    Relationship problems

    JBudd replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    In 14 years of marriage, my husband never once made me cry until he was dying of cancer. And that wasn't his fault. My daughter had a boy friend as a teen, who objected to her fencing and tried the...
