    ACLS

    Do-over replied to Bitsy07's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The megacodes were done in teams for my class, so I wasn't alone. In my class, each person on the team rotated roles - and the newbie (me) was last to run the code. In other words, I got to see 3...

    How's your dating life?

    Do-over replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    What is this "dating life" you speak of? I barely have enough time to lay around on the couch all night on my nights off... Seriously, I know that if I want any sort of "life" outside of work and...

    Would you be scared of 6 foot 3 male nurse.

    Do-over replied to mumbojumbo's topic in Men in Nursing

    Although I am not a "Man in Nursing" and I am a very tall female. And no one is scared of me =)... or, at least not because of my height. I would love more nurses near my height, male or female -...

    SHOES... glorious shoes

    Do-over replied to FLmed's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wear Sanitas clogs and love them. My feet still hurt sometimes, but the biggest improvement for me was the knee/hip/pain. It was bad with sneakers - much better with the

    Discouraged new RN

    Do-over replied to NuevaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't personally know of many nurses that truly enjoyed the first 6months - 1 year on the job (in acute care). I surely did not, and often wondered WTH had I been thinking. Two years later, I do...

    Dear Hospital Administration...

    Do-over replied to aboucherrn's topic in General Nursing

    At the risk of straying from the topic at hand... I believe that semi-private rooms can sometimes be beneficial to the patient(s). we have a mixture of privates and semis. When possible, a...

    Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    Do-over replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Before I was a nurse I had to occasionally hire for my department. I would get HUNDREDS of resumes through Careerbuilder. First step was to toss anything with poor grammar/spelling. Next step?...

    ordered to sign orders for previous 24 hours...for someone else

    Do-over replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in General Nursing

    I sign orders that are unsigned - I either verify that they were completed / carried out, or I take care of them myself. To me, this is what "signing off" on an order means. I am not sure what the...

    Misogyny in Nursing

    Do-over replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right on. I hate it when girls/women refer to each other (friends!?!) as "hoe", etc. Please don't dare to call me anything other than my name, Miss, Ma'am, or

    Discouraged new RN

    Do-over replied to NuevaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It does get better. After a year or two, you will look back and be amazed at your progress. Or, at least that was the case for

    When will people learn NOT to say the "Q" word...

    Do-over replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey now, I am even MORE worried about breaking my mother's back than I am about jinxing my shift. In all seriousness, call it what you like, I do believe there is "intuition" or something, especially...

    Do-over replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I definitely don't buy the one about not saying frequent flyer's names... They are frequent flyers... They show up all the time no matter what... HOWEVER... If my first four hours are going great...

    You look too young to be a nurse

    Do-over replied to SwansonRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I admit, I am a bit jealous. I have never-in-my-life been mistaken for being too young... My mother had trouble getting "kiddie" discounts for my haircuts, etc., waiters started pouring me coffee...

    How'd you choose? Because I don't know how!

    Do-over replied to on eagles wings's topic in Nursing Career

    There were areas I thought I wanted to work in, including the floor I worked on during school. In the end, I didn't have a choice and I took what was offered (tele/step-down) and found a specialty...

    Protocol scenario...is this correct procedure?

    Do-over replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I actually work with a couple of pharmacists that will actually call the physician themselves. Now, just to get the physicians to talk to each other

    Protocol scenario...is this correct procedure?

    Do-over replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably write the second order when the conditions of the first were met. Personally. In the signature line I would probably write something like "per previoiius order by Dr.

    Dressing question

    Do-over replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly not an expert, but I've only ever packed open wounds with wet-to-moist type dressings. From what you describe, I probably would have used telfa under a gauze

    Ever get the urge to release a horde of flying monkeys?

    Do-over replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a choir that performed this about 15 years ago. I remember spending more time learning the pronunciations than how to sing it. SO MUCH FUN to perform! One of the best Youtube videos I've...

    Ever get the urge to release a horde of flying monkeys?

    Rate to run blood?

    Do-over replied to KaeliF's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of elderly CHF patients, so usually 100/hr is what I would go for, maybe 125 if I give Lasix between units. If there are no concerns about fluid overload, then I will speed it up,...
