  1. Found me another study tool

    queenjean replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I suspect this is also the reason it works so well for the OP, if she is a primarily visual learner--the act of reading it is what is helpful; the listening is probably just icing on the cake....

  2. How do you assess this video of fainting public official?

    queenjean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The vagal response suggestions made me laugh. I *know* it's possible to experience it in other situations; but I've only seen people vagal when they were on the toilet. The thought of the poor guy...

  3. How do you assess this video of fainting public official?

    queenjean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    TIA or hypoglycemia. I'd say TIA, because the symptoms were pretty sudden onset for

  4. Three things...

    queenjean replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to never again: 1. Empty a colostomy bag 2. Clean folds that haven't seen any type of cleaning (or the light of day) in years (decades?). 3. Mention the word "hospice" and find that I...

  5. Magnet/Primary Nursing Vent

    queenjean replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

    Nurs0706-- Are you practicing primary nursing within the RBC model? We are having some difficulties implementing this, particularly on night shift. I posted about it here:...

  6. Primary Nursing and Night shift

    queenjean posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility practice "primary nursing"? By primary nursing, I mean where each pt is assigned a primary nurse. That nurse has overall responsibility for each pt--oversees the care plan,...

  7. Primary Nursing and Night shift

    queenjean replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying. We have always practiced a continuity of care and have never done team nursing. I have never had an LPN pass my meds, for example. I sometimes have an aide, but...

  8. How to get stool smell off of your hands?

    queenjean replied to mickjordmoll's topic in General Nursing

    Why would using two gloves affect the integrity of the gloves themselves? I always double glove when cleaning up poo. First of all, it prevents the smell from getting on my hands. But mainly, if you...

  9. Are you happy with your job?

    queenjean replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work medical floor, and I love my job. I transferred for a while to peds/mother/baby and was bored out of my skull. I transferred back to the medical floor, and here I will stay. BTW, I am one of...

  10. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    queenjean replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I only read the first 11 pages, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned: Lil ol lady: "I'm allergic to ALL antibiotics." Me: "All of them? Every single type of antibiotic?" LOL: "Yes,...

  12. Magnet/Primary Nursing Vent

    queenjean replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, hello, we must work in the same facility. We, too, felt we were doing the primary nursing and RBC *before* our facility spent a load of time and money implementing it. If we ask "How is this...

  13. Are clinicals really difficult for schools to schedule?

    queenjean replied to insa's topic in General Students

    Don't you think your instructors would also like to have the schedule in advance? Do you feel that they do this just to inconvenience you? How on earth would you "push back"? The schools much...

  15. codes

    queenjean replied to rehabhereIcome's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a shorty, and our old hospital beds don't lower close enough to the ground for me to be able to do adequate compressions, so I climb on to the side of the bed. Our new beds do, but then the pt is...

  16. Very upset.

    queenjean replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I know that every once in a while there is a bad apple; but I can't help but think that it is the instructors and the atmosphere of a nursing program in general that allows this sort of thing. My...

  17. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    queenjean replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How much does it cost to pay for the prosecution and incarceration of all those pot smokers and dealers? You can grow veggies in your backyard, you can make beer and wine in your house; but most...

  18. Very upset.

    queenjean replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Write down EVERYTHING that happened--what happened previously in the clinical group, your discussions with your clinical instructor, and then the group meeting. Forward a copy of this to your...

  19. Congratulations! You are going to sensitivity training

    queenjean replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, but if you find out, PLEASE post the info! What hospital did he come from? A call to their HR or nursing supervisor should provide some preliminary

  20. TB Exposure

    queenjean replied to toonces73's topic in General Nursing

    Twice I've known I've been exposed to TB at work. Each time it was a pt who was admitted with something else and days later found to have TB. None of us have contracted it

  21. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    queenjean replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've wondered about this: My hubby and I sometimes travel abroad in the summers. In two summers we will have the opportunity to travel in a certain city where MJ is legal and sold in coffee shops....

  22. Nursing Habits: Sleeping Pills

    queenjean replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I never give them at 2100 routinely, unless they are scheduled or the pt requests them; then I have nothing to given them later if they wake up, and if I pass their sleeper with their...

  24. Do you wear rings on your fingers to work?

    queenjean replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the other side. In my post you quoted, I stated several alternatives to wearing your rings on your fingers--tattooing being one alternative, but I also mentioned wearing the rings on a...

  25. alli ~ diet pill

    queenjean replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    A friend at work is taking this; she said it has really changed how she eats. She doesn't have any problems with "leakage" unless she eats too much fat. She's been doing it for 6 weeks, has lost 10...
