  1. The Night The Fire Died

    Kunzieo replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    That's what we're worried about these days? What the newbies will think? I thought it was interesting, clearly written, and introspective. (And, yes, GrnTea, a little indulgent, but what...

  2. What is your Achilles heel?

    Kunzieo replied to cjdmomma's topic in General Nursing

    Well... This is unfortunate. I had no idea "squick" was a real word (with a not so positive definition) ...it's a term I've always used to describe fussy premies!! The tiny ones just don't have that...

  3. Nursing related things to listen to...?

    Kunzieo replied to bmuscles's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. Gerald Cizadlo! He has a BAZILLION (more or less) podcasts on iTunes. He's a professor, but was an RN prior to teaching. His lecture series on pathophysiology is brilliant. And.. It's Free!

  4. Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED

    Kunzieo replied to wooh's topic in Nursing Humor

  5. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    Kunzieo replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    I BEG to have my 12s all in a row! I adore working 6 12s, give me a week beforehand off, and a week after. I agree that day 3 is the worst. Days 1-2 you're still pretty refreshed, day 3 is awful, day...

  6. How do people fail the NCLEX ?

    Kunzieo replied to mhy12784's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I took the NCLEX, I passed the first time, 75 questions, about 30 minutes. I was the first one in my class to take/pass it, and was bombarded by questions from classmates who wanted me to share...

  7. Night shift dinner time

    Kunzieo replied to kantuta's topic in General Nursing

    12h nights: 1815: A Greek yogurt in the car on the way in (150 cal.) 1800-2200: Diet Coke 20oz #1 2200: a banana or string cheese or carrots and dip or a pack of animal crackers (80-160 cal)...

  8. Cardiac Monitoring of Pediatric Patients in Med Surg

    Kunzieo replied to Vicki_RN's topic in Pediatric

    We have a peds "Floor" and a PICU. Any child requiring cardiac monitoring for any reason gets admitted/transferred to the PICU. We do NOT do cardiac monitoring on the

  9. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    Kunzieo replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nurse married to car-nut. He's been a delivery driver, worked at an auto parts store, managed a different auto parts store, worked as a sales rep for an automotive parts manufacturer, and, as of...

  10. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    Kunzieo replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    This is my favorite story so far! How darn CUTE

  11. calling into work sick and feeling very guilty

    Kunzieo replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    Yowza. The lack of a basic sense on humor from many posters on this thread is a bit frightening. Are you all this intense in real

  12. Foreign Transplants

    Kunzieo replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I find your response to be naive at best. Let's say you are in this situation: a close family member is in need of an organ, say a kidney. You are a good match. You also are an equally good match with...

  13. Foreign Transplants

    Kunzieo replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    It has nothing to do with "were she dropped you out" and everything to do with what country you were born in, are a citizen of, and have relationships and make contributions to. Do I believe that all...

  14. Dreaming About Work

    Kunzieo replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I often have "boring" work dreams- nothing notable happens, it's just like working 6 hours in my head, which sucks when I have to then wake up and go to work for another 12 hours. One dream I...

  15. Insomnia: What works for you?

    Kunzieo replied to joanna73's topic in Health, Stress Management

    10mg Flexeril and 4 oz white wine? I have always had very inconsistent sleep. I worked nights for years, now am rotating day/night. Once in a while I sleep hard core, most of the time I eventually...

  16. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    Kunzieo replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, all the PICU trained nurses on my unit had to show their HS or college diploma- for very vague "laboratory" reasons as well

  17. Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    Kunzieo replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Who comes up with this? From President Obama's 2013 State of the Union address: "We’ll bring down costs by changing the way our government pays for Medicare, because our medical bills shouldn’t...

  18. Did you have more stress FREE TIME after you graduated? What did you do?

    Kunzieo replied to Laurenslovely's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have LESS free time as a nurse than I did as a student. But, as a student, I rarely "stressed" in school. I was the girl that would walk into class and see everyone freaking out and that's how I...

  19. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    Kunzieo replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and as others said- it would be interesting to know if that nurse picked up any other scrips in the OP's name! At the very least- let Walmart know you don't want anyone but yourself picking up...

  20. Overbearing family members

    Kunzieo replied to mindyjo15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Instead of being annoyed by a nurse's vent thread- consider the situation. I don't think she was talking about cases where the pt is clearly unable to speak for themselves. In my opinion, dementia...

  21. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    Kunzieo replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. It would be nice if that's how it really worked. Pharmacies don't (usually) call the police, BON, AMA, NPI licensing board or the DEA. What they MAY do if they are REALLY willing to get involved...

  22. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    Kunzieo replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck getting Walmart to take it back though. They would have to throw them away, couldn't return them to stock and resell them, because you could have stores them improperly or tampered with...

  23. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    Kunzieo replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Not that it really matters in light of this entire thread, but... The fact that the rx was $4 leads me to believe she did NOT use your insurance. (Generic) Bactrim is cheap, and Walmart is the leader...

  24. Would Like Input - CABG

    Kunzieo replied to NickiJules's topic in General Nursing

    But the OP IS learning from this. She would like to know what went "wrong" in this case and could it have been prevented? HIPAA (ahem) allows for PHI disclosure under the following circumstances: 1....

  25. Would a night time children's center make 2nd and 3rd shift easier?

    Kunzieo replied to jordanjzz's topic in Nursing Career
