JOLLIEHOLLY RN

I am a pediatric RN and I have a question regarding adequate urine output for renal perfusion. I always follow the rule of thumb of 1cc/kg/hr for calculating urine output at the end of my shift. My question is what about a 15 year old who weighs 75kg...

Hello to all. Just curious to what people think about the subject I am about to present. Just to start off, arrest records are open to the public, you are not breaking any law looking up past arrests. So lets say you have a pt that needs long term...

Work in peds!!!!! hahah

I passed pbds with flying colors, easy as pie. To tell you the truth many of my classmates had to retest. Maybe I am a cut above the rest, hahahaha!:)

I am a conservative. I cannot stand Micheal fat ass Moore. His movies are completely worthless. I doubt he could make his movies any more one sided and liberal. Anyone who wastes their time watching this movie instead of doing there own research ...

And so what if thinks being gay is "bad". Everyone is entitled to their own belief and morale system. Would that make him less of a person if he did not agree with the homosexual lifestyle, or on the contrary a better person if he does agree with i...

Wow, you sure have a lot to say. I am a new grad RN as well. I would never attempt ICU. It is just not safe, and many new nurses who apply to the icu later realize this. That is why the retention rate is low. As far as the icu only taking the cr...

I am an RN on a general pediatric floor and have seen many children on the floor that are very acutely ill. Just in two months working there I have seen three cases of infants born with agenesis of the corpus collasum! One of my co workers responde...

Let me tell you something, people who really need government assistance often times don't receive it. When I was pregnant with my second child I was denied WIC because I made $10/month too much!!! Keep in mind, between my husband and I we were maki...

To the OP, I start on my own as an RN in mid September. Ready, but still scared as hell. Everything the OP mentioned, I could see myself going through. I can tell she worked in geriatrics. Heart problems and having to get up every time you turn a...

not wearing gloves when starting iv's? that is just asking for trouble. i work in pediatrics, and i always wear gloves when starting or removing an i.v. i see many nurses on my floor who practice just as you do(guess they think little kiddos don't...

Were you in the process of answering a question when the screen shut off, if so I'd say that was incomplete test. If you are a slow test taker they can make accomadations for you. I myself took 2 hours just to do a minimum of 75 questions. I would...

Geez!! Everything I am reading about these JW people involves the words shunned, ostracized, and disassociation for disobedience. Sure doesn't sound like something I want to be involved with. What ever happened to forgiveness and unconditional love...

A couple of quotes I'd just love to share. "You learn more from your mistakes than you will ever learn from things you do right." and "Learn from other's mistakes, because you will never live long enough to make them all yourself!"

of course they don't have insurance. why the hell spend money to insure yourself when that money could go to getting high? hahahahaha. sure makes a lot of sense, huh? now that is what i call having your priorities straight!:angryfire

Hello there. I am not a dude, but couldn't help clicking into the male nursing forum, as I saw "pediatric nurse." What kind of questions do you have? I graduated in May 2007, and just passed my nclex rn about a month ago. I went straight into ped...

I would say, "What are you doing having a kid at 40?" JK. Talk about advanced maternal age!! Sometimes people with money are so freakin' warped. She probably has no idea exactly how hard working and educated an RN is. Seriously though, off the su...

My biggest pet peeve is people who misuse your and you're. I guess people don't know the apostrophe is you're is for the letter "a". I can't stand to see a person write "Your a pretty girl." or "This is you're meal." I also can't stand it when pe...

passed at 75, nclex easier than nursing school exams. I was scared that I failed just because I was thinking the whole time "OK where are the hard questions?" I knew if you got the easier ?'s right it would give you harder ?'s, I don't believe I ev...

My first code was when I first got hired as an aide while in RN school. We had just discussed pulmonary edema(and pink frothy sputum) the week before in class. I walked in on my pt on the commode(that damn val salva response)!!! Well, she was extr...

Hello. I ABSOLUTELY recommend working as an aide. While taking my prereq's I worked as a cashier at wal-mart. As soon as I was far enough in the rn program to be eligible to work as an aide I did so. The best thing I ever did. I had no choice th...

Me too, 'tis TOTALLY something to be proud of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello there. WOW WOW WOW!!! Making 47,000/year as the commuter does in texas an an LPN, that must be a rarity. I too live in south florida and break even at 40,000/year as an RN on days. I must be working in the wrong place. Damn. South florida,...

That is so freakin' nasty!! But funny! Sure I would think different if I was the poor girl. Did he have any relation to Hugh Heffner? hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello, the impaired nurse is everyone's problem. If she is doped up, she is potentially harming her patient's. Every single pt on the floor you work on is essentially your responsibility. This hear no evil, spe...
