  1. Anyone else on nights feel completely out of it?

    GQRN replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    How many days a week do you work? If you can, put those days together. On the last day when you go home, take a little nap, and stay up the entire day until you are dead tired at the end of the day....

  2. CASE STUDY??? Anyone interested in an interactice one??

    GQRN replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    How about some acetaminohpen for the 100.6 and some Crystalloids for the 104/64 and hr 104 (what are her basline vitals?) Check a FSBS (feeling bad), and assess for any diabetic ulcers leading to...

  3. Did you study for your NCLEX...?

    GQRN replied to DanielleJ_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I did a lot of practice questions and touched up on a lot of peds/ob/gyn topics. Kawasaki Disease questions are pretty popular I've been hearing. So make sure you touch up on such topics in peds....

  4. how personal should my letter be?

    GQRN replied to thegirlzbear's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, keep it short and professional. What positive influence you'd be as a nurse. Just make sure you get it proof read before you turn it

  5. Change of shift report

    GQRN replied to SAL51's topic in General Nursing

    WOWWWWWWWWWW... I'M GOING TO PRINT THIS I bet you the nurse I'll get report from, I'll barely get 50% of this

  6. Change of shift report

    GQRN replied to SAL51's topic in General Nursing

    I see a lot of nurses provided you a way to take report. It will take some time, eventually you will develop your own method of taking report and giving report. When I starteda as a new grad, I had no...

    Thanks for taking the time to

  8. change of shift report in hallway

    GQRN replied to payatot21's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Most of the hospital preaches HIPPA so much but then you have to go in a room and give report while the patient in bed B and their family hears every single thing you just reported off about bed A......

  9. pt fall during shift change

    GQRN replied to payatot21's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Since bed alarm is not considered a restraint, it is always safe to put a bed alarm on a patient who is considered confused or fall risk. Legally even tho you are clocked in, but since you still...

  10. Can you mix 3 medications in a syringe?

    GQRN replied to GQRN's topic in General Nursing

    So far this is the most logic post in this enitre thread I've started. I did not mention the patient is allergic to any of the meds and most of you are jumping to allergies and reactions. All I...

  11. Can you mix 3 medications in a syringe?

    GQRN replied to GQRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I never mixed 3 meds in the same syringe and administered as an IM shot. So I wasn't sure if you CAN mix 3 compatible meds in 1

  12. How would you handle this, VERY lazy CNA!

    GQRN replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds terrible. I've dealt with a lot of lazy CNAs too. I'm a type of nurse that doesn't like "*****" at all. If I work with someone that is "lazy", I tell them. But I tell them in a way to...

  13. Took care of pt who tested positve for c-diff

    GQRN replied to anfe's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, how new are you? 3 pair of gloves and you are still woried? Welcome to the world of bedside nursing. Your best moments are still to come. Good job on the precautionary steps

  14. Least infectious floors

    GQRN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen TB patients in universal precautions on admission and finding out pt. is TB positive a day later or 2, while sharing a room with another patient. Door open, everyone passing by (hospital...

  15. Coumadin + Cranberry Juice?

    GQRN replied to miwachiru123's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if that was my patient, I would keep an eye on his PT/INR. Let the doctor know that the patient is drinking a lot of cranberry juice. I'm sure they do frequent PT/INR if pt. is admitted in the...

  16. Coumadin + Cranberry Juice?

    GQRN replied to miwachiru123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is any concrete evidence of cranberry juice affecting coumadin. There have been numerous studies done. One of the studies show that cranberry juice has some levels of Vitamin K...

  17. Anyone from the bay area?

    GQRN replied to beeve.stroganoff's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm a nurse at Kaiser Hayward. Well, I know a lot of colleges are accepting more students than they did 3 years ago. I would apply at multiple colleges instead of just one. That will increase...

  18. Married Nurses...

    GQRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. My wife and I have been reading posts on this website for atleast a year. We just joined and this is our first post. We are both RNs, graduated together, work in the same hospital and same...

  19. What's your sleeping schedule for working nights?

    GQRN replied to teenycar's topic in General Nursing

    If you are working nights, its always better to work your days together. For example, I do 4 nights in a row a week, then 3 nights the next week and so on. Since I work 12am-830am, I usually sleep...

  20. 75 questions on NCLEX-RN

    GQRN replied to BlaineCM's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, good luck on that, I hope you passed. I remember when I took my boards on a friday and I had my results on tuesday, and started orienting thursday. Three excruciating days though. I just can't...
