    WeakAnkles posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    New to dialysis and had a few questions! What's you policy on pulling needles and why? Is it one at a time or both? I see people pull both at the same time and use clamps for pressure. Would this...

    Hi All! I am two months into my training as an Acute Dialysis Nurse, and I am loving it so far! I am curious though what the average pay would be for a nurse with years of ICU/CCU experience, but NO...

  4. Acute Pay

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks you, it does help. At least it gives me somewhat of an idea. I'm still hopeful more people will respond with hourly rates, diffs, on call pay, etc. I'm sorry about your "drafting" to your new...

  6. Would I have any problems being a nurse with an associates degree?

    WeakAnkles replied to pinkstar17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I proudly have my ADN and it has never hindered me on my career path. I have worked ICU/CCU/ER. I have also been a Hospital House Supervisor and I never felt my degree held me back from any of my...

  8. Dry, cracked winter hands

    WeakAnkles replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    Cutemol was advised to me from a Dermatologist. I went specifically to him for this problem. My hands were bleeding at work, and I thought I might be getting a latex allergy it was so bad. No...

  11. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I have to disagree with you. That's like saying someone's who's stoned to death in Iran had the power to stop it? Or, they empowered the mob to do it? Are you

  12. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the first step towards change with this. However, I also think this is what started turning "the mob" against me to begin with. I didn't join the mob at the beginning of my...

  13. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    There is another side to me that feels we should really create an awareness about this too. Bring it into the light. Until we can identify it readily as it occurs, we have no chances of stopping...

  14. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

  19. Dumb Question?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't think there was any harm. I heard about it after the fact though. Thanks for the explanation, helped me think it through

  20. Dumb Question?

    WeakAnkles replied to WeakAnkles's topic in MICU, SICU

    So, you're saying it stays localized in the hand, and never makes it systemically? Would it cause necrosis of tissue then? This came up in our unit with a new grad making this mistake recently,...
