  1. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    Dolce replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    I was just waiting for somebody else to notice

  2. Nurse Privacy Rights

    Dolce replied to sweetmuffin48's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I think this is a good idea. But I for sure wouldn't want it on the door. It should be in the patient's room where the patient can see

  3. Can I not perform CPR?

    Dolce replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    We only do CPR on dead people anyway. So, his comment was just stupid in my

  4. Surgical Nurse vs. Cardiac Nurse???

    Dolce replied to palmettogirl's topic in General Nursing

    The two specialties are very different but both equally good. I am going to be biased in my opinion because I love surgery. I primarily work in pre- and post-op and just love it. There is something...

  5. Need Advice, please help! (HIPAA)

    Dolce replied to StarNurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch. I think that was overkill to be written up and suspended for 3 days. However, it is important to remember when you are off the clock you should be off the clock. People come up to nurses all...

  6. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    Dolce replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is a difference in "seeing everything" and "doing everything." The med/surg nurse really has to be a jack of all trades. A med/surg floor has patients with acute conditions as well as...

  7. Lpn- Lvn- Rn

    Dolce replied to texasboi's topic in General Nursing

    That seems like a wise idea. The NCLEX is a national test so it will be the same where ever you take

  8. Lpn- Lvn- Rn

    Dolce replied to texasboi's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you need to decide where you want to go to school. It will be extremely difficult--if not impossible--for you to start nursing school in NJ and transfer to a school in Texas. Nursing...

  9. nurse jobs with autonomy

    Dolce replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is a lot of autonomy in the home health field. Usually the physicians will order what we recommend for wound care, treatments, therapy,

  10. Flu Vaccine

    Dolce replied to CapNurse09's topic in General Nursing

    Usually I get the flu vaccine and the

  11. How long to wait?

    Dolce replied to SFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is appropriate to call a week after the interview. You can say you were wondering about the status of the position and if they had made a decision. Let them know you were really excited...

  12. Smoking during pregnancy

    Dolce replied to st4304's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you are so right. I imagine that most patients are just hearing what they want to hear. Have you ever heard a patient tell you, "My nurse told me blah, blah, blah" only to realize that it...

  13. Evening shift and BAD eating habits!

    Dolce replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I do this too. I find that I want to stop for chocolate on my drive home. I find that it helps if I bring myself a light dinner (eg Salad, soup, etc) and bring along a "snack" to eat on my way...

  14. Lvn Supervising Other Lvn!!!!

    Dolce replied to hoping1281's topic in General Nursing

    Great response

  15. Honestly...Did I over-react?

    Dolce replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    Do you work in LTC or a hospital? If it were me I would have washed my arm very well with soap and water. I would have also filled out an incident report. I probably wouldn't have gone to the ED,...

  16. Told to go home..

    Dolce replied to Grayeagle's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could wear white pants with heart-patterned boxers underneath. Yes, it is a petty reason to leave a job. But, on the other hand, this shows what his job is like. Any place that decides a...

  17. Told to go home..

    Dolce replied to Grayeagle's topic in General Nursing

    And people wonder why there's a nursing shortage. This is the most petty reason to send someone home I can think

  18. Nursing preceptor says no to certain abbreviations

    Dolce replied to cozzy66's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, thanks. I get it

  19. Nursing preceptor says no to certain abbreviations

    Dolce replied to cozzy66's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!!!! I love nurses like

  20. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    Dolce replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    :sofahider Hope you don't get royally flamed for that

  21. Nursing preceptor says no to certain abbreviations

    Dolce replied to cozzy66's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I had no clue what that meant. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the context of "tenderness." Why would we need to chart no CVA

  22. Nursing preceptor says no to certain abbreviations

    Dolce replied to cozzy66's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what CVA tenderness is? It took me a minute to figure out CTA--I've seen it written LCTA, not just CTA. The main thing is that most hospitals are getting away from abbreviations....

  23. Worst doctors orders ever received

    Dolce replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    :yeah: I laughed out loud at that one. These guys are too

  24. Is your state/city nursing school + NCLEX Test hard?

    Dolce replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    NCLEX is a national test. I tested in a state that I'm not licensed in.

  25. Is one year of med/surg necessary?

    Dolce replied to Lpn1997's topic in General Nursing

    The "1 year of Med/Surg" is a suggested pathway. It is not right for each and every new grad. I didn't get my one year of med/surg and it hasn't hindered me one bit. In fact, I have been perfectly...
