  2. Anyone ever pass out at work....I just did :'(

    Keely-FutureRN replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I have. :imbar I was getting report from the nurse for a 1:1 and I started to feel dizzy all of a sudden so I leaned on the counter a bit more and took some deep breaths (trying not to let on...)...

  3. Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to lavanda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry! It's not the end of the world if you got a C. Anatomy is one of the toughest classes (I'm taking it right now) and it's more about knowing the information than what percent you got on the...

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNA (pre-nursing) student and occasionally help out in the OR. (I normally work in PACU and SDS). Well, I was turning over a room with a couple coworkers and we were talking about the case. We...

  5. Surgeons throwing tantrums in OR... (VENT)

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I will follow your example. I want to tell them but I don't want to have a "smart mouth" either... Thank you for the suggestion! I will also talk to my manager next time and let her take it...

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in Oncology

  7. Salt Lake City ?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to StatBlues's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently a pre-nursing student but I worked at LDS Hospital as a CNA/Telemetry tech and IHC is one of the best places you can work for! Go for it!

  8. How Do I Approach This?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    Hmm. That's a tight spot there.. I'm not a nurse (yet:p ) but if I were you I would set the example of how to appropriately give report without adding judgements. You are doing a great job in being...

  9. Feeling guilty for poor pt. outcomes...

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student and work in the PACU and Same Day Surg. as a CNA. We had a code the other day that was really hard. The pt. was young (40's) with some sort of internal bleed and all her...

  10. What is a "good" grade for you?

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a little bummed because I didn't do as well as I hoped in chemistry. It seems like everyone else was just flying by with A's and I worked my butt off to get a C+. Should I retake it? The nursing...

  11. What is a "good" grade for you?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow thanks guys for all your responses.:icon_hug: My gpa is going to be fine with the C so I don't think I'll retake it. I just want to make sure that I am at the same level with the other nursing...

  12. ER Pet Peeves

    Keely-FutureRN replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    Oh, man..... I have to admit I was one of *those* patients when I thought I was having an asthma attack and couldn't breathe (tingly fingers, hyperventilating probably) but when I finally got to the...

  13. Stigma against Psych.

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I am doing my pre-req's for nursing and many people ask me what field of nursing I want to go into. I am really interested in psych. nursing but when I tell them they scrunch up their face and say...

  14. Stigma against Psych.

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Wow, thank you for all your responses. I really am into psych. and I don't want to feel weird to say that's what I want to go into (and yes, as someone mentioned earlier EVERYONE says they want to...

  15. Stigma against Psych.

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I can understand that :) There are some things I know I don't want to do in nursing. I guess everyone has their own likes/ dislikes...Thanks for your responses.

  16. Stigma against Psych.

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Hmm. I never thought of it that way- that other area's of nursing have those same stigma's to some point. I currently work as a CNA in a cancer specialty hospital and I really love it but when I first...

  17. Is buying a present for a pt. appropriate?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    I love to receive cards thanking me for the care I provided. Once, someone tried to give me a 100 dollar bill (yikes!) after caring for their loved one. I (of course) thanked him but didn't accept it....

  18. Why did you choose psych nursing?

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I have been reading many of the old threads here lately. It seems like with all the combative pts, non-compliance with therapy/meds, stresses of dealing with eccentric behavior, trying to diffuse...

  19. Quality of life for elderly oncology pts.

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient today that was 80 years old. Came to PACU from yet another surgery (3 this week) for lymphoma and has undergone chemo. She was groaning and crying and all I could do was hold her hand...

  21. Have you ever had CNA's/MA's who dont want to work?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to exodusgo's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! I am a CNA/PCT/ Tele. Tech and have worked with a few lazy aides but I have NEVER heard of aides having an attitude like that. I have only worked in hospitals and everyone is fighting for the...

  23. ECT Treatment: For or against it?

    Keely-FutureRN replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you for all your responses. I don't want to label ECT as automatically not an option. I too have friends who have had ECT and have done a complete 360 in their attitude and demenor. I guess it's...

    Keely-FutureRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students
