    Today I was made redundant

    crissrn27 replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are so strong for looking at this with a positive light. I had this happen once, and I didn't see it coming, and I had to spend a little time feeling resentful, lol. I see now that it...

    Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    crissrn27 replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    This is NOT true!! I thought about just keeping my opinions to myself, but since this was here, I decided not to. I could give a whole lecture why breastfeeding into the toddler years is very...

    AIDS patient ?

    crissrn27 replied to mikemay1969's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with earle58, in this scenario, they want to see that you are NOT as concerned with the AIDS dx as you are with pt assessment. Address the reason behind the pt pulling the IV out and that is...

    crissrn27 posted a topic in School

    I just got a call for a interview with an elementary school! I applied weeks ago, and had actually kind of forgot about it, since I hadn't heard. What can I expect at the interview, and what would...

    crissrn27 replied to crissrn27's topic in School

    The interview is set for fri at 0900, if everyone can get together. She is supposed to call me back and let me know. It sounds like mostly a case management job, which would be great! Thanks for...

    interview!!

    crissrn27 replied to crissrn27's topic in School

    Thanks guys! This is exactly what I needed to know! ETA: Now I am worried, obviously in NC you need to obtain certification from the ANA, or the NBCSN, within three years. The ANA no longer offers a...

    crissrn27 replied to Phillippians4:13's topic in General Nursing

    I think she knew she screwed up, and was just trying to let it blow over. Let us know what your adviser says. I can't imagine that this would make them kick you out of the program. People in my...

    Best-smelling liquid meds!

    crissrn27 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    We had a "tonic", that was supposed to increase appetite in LTC called eldertonic. It smelled like a strawberry daiquiri. I never could try it, cause it was like 50% alcohol. I could just picture me...

    crissrn27 replied to Phillippians4:13's topic in General Nursing

    We had a few like that in nursing school. Kind of odd, but it seemed they picked on me, being younger (17-19 while in school), than they did on the older students. I wouldn't worry too much about this...

    crissrn27 replied to broncopooh's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I did nursery, we had a PKU log that every baby was logged into. It listed name, sex, PKU #, med-rec #, and I think weight. Then we had an emtala log for in and out babies. And a hep b log that...

    crissrn27 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know about say, but this was the funniest thing I have ever seen a confused pt do. I was doing LTC, and this sweet LOL was just sitting in her room, listening to the radio, door to the room...

    Is there a Dr present at c-sections just for baby where you work.

    crissrn27 replied to crysobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is a NRP certified nurse available solely for the baby at the c-sec? Not the circulator, but a NICU, or nursery

    Patients on Medicaid

    crissrn27 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hopefully this won't start the circ debate. Circumcision is considered to be a cosmetic surgery, with no medical purpose. Now there are some indications that it might help reduce the transmission of...

    Horror in my head!

    crissrn27 replied to Team Player's topic in General Nursing

    When I did adult nursing, I would often dream of some of my special folks who had passed away. Still do come to think of it. They were rarely scary, kind of comforting. Since I have been doing...

    Pk's are always the worst, danissa! I grew up with a couple of PKs that you wouldn't believe, drinking, drugs, etc, etc. I was an angel compared to them. Wonder why they are like

    Difficult Delivery!

    crissrn27 replied to Sweeper933's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The Obs not making the c/s incision big enough is the worst. I have seen a ground beef head from a ve in a c-sec. Believe me, that ob is on my 'will not ever deliver a child of mine' list....
