  3. Military wife needs advice

    woknblues replied to Calibean's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is, get this thread over to the Military nursing forum. You will be "bombarded" with good advice and answers. https://allnurses.com/forums/f57/ Best of luck!! (maybe a Mod will move it...

  6. What/How do I delegate to the CNA?

    woknblues replied to WVStarFish's topic in Nurse Management

    There is a proper flow for this scenario. Too many people jump over critical steps and end up in bigger poo than when they started. First, you try to resolve the problem up front. The "B" terminology...

  7. Failed For The 3rd Time

    woknblues replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in International Nursing

    You can take or leave this advice, entirely up to you. In my experience, I see the NCLEX and possibly the NLE (as demonstrated by review sessions and what classmates/professors tell me) as very much...

  8. Places to work in West Broward?

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Florida Nursing

    A single, modest, respectful bump. May I expand my query to include all of North and West Broward? This is

  9. How will my day and life routines go?

    woknblues replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    I will tread into this one, foolishly, and hopefully NOT put my foot in my mouth. I believe that Athena was stating that the civilian nurses (read GS) from her Army hospital like the 8hr shifts (and...

  10. Burn Out!!!

    woknblues replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    you sure did a better job than i did. thanks, i guess i could use some of that

  11. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    woknblues replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    this was more or less my point in my previous comment... i know i wouldn't go very long without taking any job, inside or outside health care for that matter. the bills don't stop coming

  12. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    woknblues replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

  13. How to 'go down' on your appointment?

    woknblues replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. You terminology is as foreign to me, as it was hilarious. I was tempted to leave a very ungentlemanly joke somewhere here, but obviously, thought better of it. I will really try: Decent managers...

  14. Burn Out!!!

    woknblues replied to ange26s's topic in General Students

    suck it up!! i wish i could say i only had 4 semesters of this hell! i am going on my 9th semester of ns!! (including summers, prereqs, etc) i am climbing up the walls, and all i can say is i have...

  15. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    woknblues replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    THATS the kind of MICRO I wish I was in!! Honestly, folks, once you get a few code browns under your belt, bringing a sample will seem like a fond distant memory. I was the "guest" pooper for three...

  16. positive drug test help

    woknblues replied to puppielove's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Some people take their pain meds and place them in a week long dispenser. I guess they should be "working at Walmart", or better yet, lined up and shot. Funny thing is, just because nurses are...

  17. Restraints too Tight?

    woknblues replied to laxxrickLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, just to clear this up for you. I am not the OP. Nor was I making any assertions that she "should have done this or that." As to whether or not I am qualified to judge, well, this is the...

  18. Restraints too Tight?

    woknblues replied to laxxrickLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like semantics at this point, considering I agree with your statements and assessment of the situation. I used ABC on my patient, considering he was unconscious, and not capable of...

  19. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    woknblues replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, my math was off. I was going to change it, but let it go. Anywho, I have no way of ever taking a year off, being "patient". best of luck and whatnot to those who can.

  20. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    woknblues replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    You know? The more I read this thread, the more I am sickened by the direction this world we live in is heading. I need to stop reading this thread. This is basically everything that is wrong with the...

  21. Do YOU answer call lights in a hospital?

    woknblues replied to JHansen's topic in General Nursing

    I just wrote these words to express what I see in your post. I hope it comes out right. Wow. You are practicing the art of nursing. You are HEALING. Plain and simple. This is a lost art. Putting it...

    woknblues replied to sushi4breakfast's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    woknblues replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Wow. I would think that people would move out quick if faced with A YEAR of no job. It would take a long time to make up that amount of money lost, even with the high salary difference. Look at it...

  24. Restraints too Tight?

    woknblues replied to laxxrickLPN's topic in General Nursing

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/abc_(medical) well, can i say that circulation has a part in assessment when restraints are too tight? capillary refill, pulse, etc. i think that does have something to do...

  25. positive drug test help

    woknblues replied to puppielove's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that the onus is on the investigators to find out if you have a valid Rx. Innocent until proven guilty. Fine, they found a controlled substance. If you have valid scripts, what is the...
