  1. Is it just me? (Nurse/patient ratio related)

    rizzle replied to devi's topic in General Nursing

    I think you and MikeyBSN should both look for new jobs. Oh, wait... he already did. The situation you described sounds like a serious safety issue. It's unfortunate it's so common. :angryfire In...

  2. Statistics Prerequisite for Frontier School

    rizzle replied to Doodleit's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you're applying to the Bridge program, don't bother with the Stats class. You'll have to repeat it anyway per their

  3. I need help! What should I do?

    rizzle posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I need someone to help me organize my thoughts... I have worked in Adult ICU for four years. I stayed at my last job for three years and I really liked it, for the most part. It was in a community...

  4. I need help! What should I do?

    rizzle replied to rizzle's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks, for your advice! I think I'm going to take some time off to think about things. I did go to my PCP and had bloodwork done. Everything was normal, including my TSH (Good call). I'm seeing...

  5. supportive treatment....poor- LONG!!

    rizzle replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't give enough information in some of your other complaints. I have a hard time understanding exactly what made you so upset. re: the medication given wrong etc. I'm not sure what your...

  6. Carrying It All - Fanny Packs ?

    rizzle replied to OldMareLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I try to carry only what I need. I always carry a ballpoint pen, a sharpie, a pair of hemostats, chapstick, a few mints, a few bucks, and my cellphone with me. I can manage to fit it all in my...

  7. Carrying It All - Fanny Packs ?

    rizzle replied to OldMareLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think I would get laughed at if I came to work wearing a fanny

  8. Returning blood waste back into a PICC

    rizzle replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Because the blood can begin to form micro clots in the

  9. Above and Beyond Scope

    rizzle replied to gingersdad's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would be less concerned with the actions of the CNA than the reason this patient's BG dropped that low in the first place. I would also want to keep checking her BGs periodically to make sure they...

  11. Almost lost my temper today

    rizzle replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening to you. Hospital administration should be aware of this because it is a huge liability for them, and a safety issue they need to address. Please tell your charge nurse....

  12. BP 200's/150's Appropriate for General Med/surg?

    rizzle replied to KyPinkRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. A BP like that would constitute a hypertensive crisis and would probably need labetalol or a cardene gtt. That pt. definitely requires a higher level of

  14. A Physician's disregard for families rights.

    rizzle replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It doesn't sound like your family presented any unreasonable demands; his behavior was inappropriate. Find a new doc and maybe even a new hospital if you are not satisfied with his care. I...

  15. Waiting 7 hours for an appointment

    rizzle replied to pyunnyhana's topic in General Nursing

    That is unacceptable. If there was an emergency that took presidence over your mother's procedure, they should have been honest and told your parents. I'm glad your dad stood up for her. He could...

  16. Need Clarification on Prenatal Visits...

    rizzle replied to justme1972's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it is a healthy, low risk pregnancy, that does not sound unreasonable at all. I went to a group of midwives and I had biweekly appointments from about 32(?) to 37 weeks. The weekly appointments...

  17. Love Pregnancy, Hate Medical OB

    rizzle replied to chaun08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I love your comment! I too had a completely unmedicated Bradley birth and found it to be the most positive and empowering experience of my life! We had a midwife and I delivered at a hospital almost...
