  1. BRA!!!!

    dardeedee replied to BerryHappy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I get mine from One Hanes Place online and usually get a Bali bra. They are discounted and I always find the ones I like at a reasonable

  2. No blood transfusion r/t high WBC??

    dardeedee replied to Aeterna's topic in Oncology

    Are they undergoing induction therapy? Are they eligible for a transplant? The more blood and blood products they receive, the more likely they are to develop antibodies. These patients have so much...

  3. want to be an oncology nurse

    dardeedee replied to cymphilly's topic in Oncology

    Be prepared to do some study on your own. The Oncology Nursing Society has an excellent website with many resources regarding the latest treatments. You don't have to be a member to look at

  4. Help dismissed from RNprogram

    dardeedee replied to olliefos's topic in General Students

    There are no loopholes when you are faced with a nclex exam or you are holding someone's life in your hand. You may be in over your head. See how you do and transfer to another school if you have

  5. ONC CERTIFICATION

    dardeedee replied to lbutler's topic in Oncology

    I took it twice and passed on the second try. Oncology Nursing by Otto was a good resource. Be very careful and read the rules about taking the test. ONCC is very strict about candidates asking others...

    dardeedee replied to Nurseboy1's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever had problems with compazine iv? I can't tell the whole story here due to everyone knowing everyone else in this small town and hospital. Thanks in

  9. Malpractice Insurance

    dardeedee replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Small price to pay for peace of mind. Don't make a big deal to your employer about having a policy. It is none of their business. Keep the policy's existence to yourself. In a year the price will go...

  10. Drawing blood from a PICC line

    dardeedee replied to rnewmanjunkie's topic in General Nursing

    Don't pull back too hard, take it easy. You will collapse the line. I compare it to backing a car out of a driveway with a house on one side and the neighbor's car on the other. Just ease the blood...

  11. Nurses not doing assessments

    dardeedee replied to gucci rush's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a filipino nurse at night who is excellent. She does a head to toe assessment, turns on the lights, wakes them up, looks at every orfice, rolls them over.... etc. She doesn't care if they...

  12. Pick up Malpractice! They went after my license.

    dardeedee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Having insurance isn't discoverable. You can't be sued for more just because you have insurance. You can't count on your employer to cover your a**. They will hang it out to dry instead. You should...

  13. Worst visitors ever

    dardeedee replied to Laught3r's topic in Nursing Humor

    I admitted an alzheimers patient the other night that was already wearing several layers of clothing. I sent her into the bathroom to change and she came out wearing a laundry bag as a pair of pants...

  14. Malpracitice Insurance

    dardeedee replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    It costs about 100.00 a year. To me it is a struggle to pay every year, but well worth the cost. I was told in nursing school that if you carry a policy and you are sued, this isn't "discoverable."...

  15. Nursing repayment plan for student loans ......???????

    dardeedee replied to paulaking1978's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing loan repayment program is at the HRSA web site. I applied last year and didn't get it. It is very competitive and takes a lot of paperwork and a web application to apply. The deadline is...

  16. RN Pins

  17. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    dardeedee replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I have a few stories to tell. The most recent one that sticks out in my mind isn't really a ghost story, but I'll tell it anyway. Right before Thanksgiving about 2 in the morning I had a patient I...
