    CRRT-effluent bag nightmare

    Wile E Coyote replied to ericaolsen's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    small interview

    Wile E Coyote replied to kimmy32954's topic in General Nursing

    Stock answer: Your instructor intended this to be a chance to meet face-to-face with a nurse as a personal introduction to the profession. On an internet forum such as AN, you cannot verify who one...

    Can You work as an RN towards the end of Nursing school?

    Wile E Coyote replied to LelahRN2be's topic in General Nursing

    No, to work as an RN, one must be an RN ("RN, LPN, NURSE", are protected terms in many states, so it seems like a pedantic distinction, but it isn't) Those folks are likely student externs, working...

    We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    Wile E Coyote replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The bulk of my licenced experience has been cvicu and icu. Add on a year in ED and a year as an lpn on an ortho/ms floor. The majority of shade I've seen thrown at ltc staff came from newer hospital...

    Approriate PCA use

    Wile E Coyote replied to Alphabet soup nurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I concur with previous posters, a demand dose from the PCA must be admin by patient only. Hopefully, someone especially skilled (or just lucky this time) can bring this family back down from the...

    Medic / New Grad Resume Help

    Wile E Coyote replied to jayc1157's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not doubting the onservation, I'm just having a hard time understanding that in a theoretical field of 100 new grad applicants one having years of medic experience wouldn't be a clear standout....

    Difficulty moving on to a new job

    Wile E Coyote replied to NewSSURN's topic in General Nursing

    SOME hospitals look down on LTC experience. It can leave folks wishing to move to acute care feeling "trapped in the nursing home". Also, perhaps hiring managers have had bad experiences with...

    Wile E Coyote replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    My peds ED experience as a student brought me to meet a young mother with very little resources. Her infant had been sick some months back and a call to "phone a nurse/doctor) led her to a brief trial...

    Auscultating obese patients

    Wile E Coyote replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough, some folks indeed do have distant heart tones and no amount of positioning will improve that. Left side-lying or seated leaning forward are both techniques to generally improve your...

    Wile E Coyote replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    If it's lung and heart sounds ye seek, then perhaps hoist their upper regions high and listen from the stern. (Sit em up and listen to their posterior lungs and their heart tones usually are also...

    Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    Wile E Coyote replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    An unnecessary addendum, don't ya think? It's naturally assumed 1st Ammendment means "It's the government doing it" otherwise it's not a 1st Ammendment

    Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    Wile E Coyote replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    So, using these parameters, our 1st Ammendment obviously doesn't apply to phone conversations, email, Internet message boards, etc? Can we instead agree that that's not how it

    MD to RN?

    Wile E Coyote replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    What about a transitional spot through your school? Teaching? Research fellowship? As far as MD to RN's, I've worked with a few. Foreign educated, left medicine for child-rearing, etc. The latest two...
