  1. New admission

    Dolce replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody likes to take admits if they don't have to but there is no use griping about it. Sometimes people spend more time griping about an assignment then they do actually admitting the

  2. Where do you give your heparin?

    Dolce replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    In the eye. Just joking. I agree with everyone else--give it in the belly slow. It burns really bad and your patients won't appreciate it if you push it too

  3. How do you keep your Med/Surg Skills Fresh?

    Dolce replied to zahryia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Each area of nursing is so specialized that it is impossible for a nurse to know everything there is to know about everything. I'm grateful there are people out there like you who will work in OB (I...

  4. $40/hr in LTC?

    Dolce replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    But, on the other hand--the entry level education for nurses is an associates degree. Lawyers and therapists require much more training. I personally haven't met a builder or plumber that makes more...

  5. Only ER?

    Dolce replied to leapfrog16's topic in Emergency

    No, its not at all wrong to have an idea of what you want to specialize in when you graduate. Keep your eyes and ears open in nursing school though because you may find that you like another field...

  6. Non-medical Family Say the Darndest Things!

    Dolce replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love it. Thanks for the

  7. Patient question... drug screens.

    Dolce replied to RosaParksIsMyHero's topic in Emergency

    I think she treated you

  8. MSN or MAN

    Dolce replied to m-560's topic in General Nursing

    I thought this post was about MSN vs a Man

  9. Travelling Nurse--new grads welcome?

    Dolce replied to buffalowing81's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. You have to protect your license as a nurse. There is no way you would be able to do that as a traveler (even if an agency would hire you). You will gain knowledge in nursing school but...

  10. Romance?

    Dolce replied to oohappyday's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your BON. Most have rules against developing a personal relationship with a

  11. CNA vs. CMA

    Dolce replied to cmadeit's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same gripe with these schools. They are always advertising their programs on TV with statements like, "Medical assisting is one of the fastest growing career fields in the nation!" They...

  12. I Quit!

    Dolce replied to Super Nurse JoshuA's topic in General Nursing

    You were really smart to not clock in. I always clock in at the start of shift, prior to receiving an assignment. I believe you made absolutely the right decision that day, both for the patients,...

  13. People don't take Home Health serious enough..

    Dolce replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    That is so

  14. financial planning for the young!

    Dolce replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    The best book for younger people is Suze Orman's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke. It is an easy read for a money idiot (which I am). If I can understand it, you can understand

  15. Medical This or That

    Dolce replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely insert a foley--I hate suctioning trachs. Would you rather deal with a disruptive family member or an irate

  16. Medical This or That

    Dolce replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    UTI. Schizophrenia or

  17. Being Rushed through Orientation!!!!

    Dolce replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are so miserable right now. :icon_hug: Your story is the story of countless new grads who feel rushed and hurried and scared. I, too, came home crying during my first year as a nurse....

  18. on where to get an affordable physical exam/immunization

    Dolce replied to nursetobe105's topic in General Nursing

    Labs and vaccinations are usually cheapest at your public health department. I think my Varicella titer was about $100 several years

  19. Well, it finally happened after 2.5 years...

    Dolce replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    It is so hard to not take attacks like these personally, but you need to try. You need to remember that SHE is the problem, not you. If it were me I would have filled out an incident report for a...

  20. When is it safe for a pt to come to the floor from recovery?

    Dolce replied to Med Surge 2's topic in General Nursing

    In your circumstances I would have taken the patient and notified my charge that I needed help and that the patient was complex. There does not appear to be anything in the patient's assessment that...

  21. ONLY 6 week orientation for New Grad?

    Dolce replied to clairebearrn's topic in Emergency

    Do you know how many new grads they have compared to their number of experienced nurses? In a crisis your new grad coworkers will not be able to offer you the support and guidance that you need...

  22. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    Dolce replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    Because this is an internet BB we really can't prove that what a person says is accurate. Other posters don't know if I am a 50-year-old man with an accounting degree or if I am a medical student...

  23. BACK PAIN & going to the ED

    Dolce replied to coltsgrl's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry you are so miserable. Hope you are able to get into a specialist

  24. ONLY 6 week orientation for New Grad?

    Dolce replied to clairebearrn's topic in Emergency

    Try to keep in mind that NM and HR usually present the best possible image to the job candidates. If the BEST that she is offering is a total of 6 weeks on the floor training you have a problem. Her...

  25. Am I wrong?

    Dolce replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    I am so grateful for the excellent physicians that I work with. They would never have the patients go to the ER because their group doesn't take call. That, to me, is ridiculous. The ER is not the...
