  1. what should i have done.

    Coffee Nurse replied to heyimnew911's topic in General Nursing

    As a disclaimer, I don't work with adults, but it seems to me you can't have it both ways here: either he's A&O enough to "refuse assessment," OR he's altered enough to justify medicating without...

  2. American Nurses in U.K

    Coffee Nurse replied to LotusFlower777's topic in United Kingdom

    I recently returned to the US after living and working in London for six years. I've written about the experience in a few places, probably most extensively in this thread. Happy to answer any...

  3. When they're SO sure they're right...

    Coffee Nurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm torn, I really want to show my appreciation for some of these posts but clicking "like" seems inappropriate when really I'm over here

  4. Bradycardia vs Tachycardia

    Coffee Nurse replied to hanakimi4's topic in General Nursing

  5. RN Pre-Employment Tests =(

    Coffee Nurse replied to Nastyama171290's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you ask the people who gave you the

  6. NCLEX and Withdrawn Application

    Coffee Nurse replied to anappleaday13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Did you pass NCLEX the first time? If so, you should be licensed in NJ. Why did you withdraw the application? You're not "transferring your NCLEX result" when you apply for...

  7. Is it jealousy ??

    Coffee Nurse replied to JaxsRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The fact that you equate the first two things (which are within your control) with the last three (which are largely not) really says a whole lot about how much you don't

  8. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    Coffee Nurse replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    I just had a coworker in his mid-30s leave to start med school, so you can certainly still accomplish it. That said, I'm pretty sure there are no shortcuts based on your being a nurse first. He's...

  9. Patients & Pet Peeves

    Coffee Nurse replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    This is so bizarre. I'm trying to envision it and I just can't, it sounds so unnatural. He must have trained himself to do it for just this

  10. Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    Coffee Nurse replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Wow.

  11. Nurse dating former patient?

  12. Do CRNAs also tangle lines!?

    Coffee Nurse replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like this is similar to the concept of the buttered cat

  13. falling asleep during nightshift

    Coffee Nurse replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    You STILL haven't answered my question of WHAT IF YOU ALL FALL ASLEEP AT

  14. falling asleep during nightshift

    Coffee Nurse replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    I've changed my mind. You *know* everyone else naps on the job and just isn't admitting it. You *know* once you've finished your tasks, your patients won't need anything else until you round on them...

  15. falling asleep during nightshift

    Coffee Nurse replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    You've done some tasks. That's good. Problem is, the job is to stay alert and ready to respond to any situations arising, all night. Just because you've ticked off the boxes you know about doesn't...

  16. falling asleep during nightshift

    Coffee Nurse replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    Your poll presents a false dichotomy. Of course we all get tired; whether on nights or days depends on the individual. What really isn't okay is just dozing off while you are expected to be alert. I...

  17. Maternity without FMLA

    Coffee Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    If an employee (in the US obviously) starts a new job and goes out on maternity leave less than a year earlier, making her ineligible for FMLA, what ramifications does it have besides her job not...

  18. medication calculations

    Coffee Nurse replied to blossomheart's topic in General Nursing

    It's really obvious if you look at it the right way. However, why don't you show what you've attempted

  19. Falling Asleep

    Coffee Nurse replied to NurseRatchet777's topic in General Nursing

    It's not even night shift. OP said she was on the second of three

  20. What's going on with this job?

    Coffee Nurse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I applied for a per diem position over two months ago now, received one of those personality surveys and completed it. Called the HR department after about a month, they said the hiring managers had...

  21. What's going on with this job?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Coffee Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Huh. Well, got the "position has been filled" email today. Bit unsettling as I'd certainly expected to at least be called for an interview...but at least now I

  22. Aspiring Male NICU Nurse

    Coffee Nurse replied to seej's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Never say never! I heard tell once of a parent who insisted that all the boy babies be turned to face the other way while his girl baby's diaper was changed. People are endlessly

  23. California or Phoenix??

    Coffee Nurse replied to neurogirl77's topic in General Nursing

    I'd suggest that's a strong argument for visiting now, before planning a potential move

  24. AN Scholarship

    Coffee Nurse replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Nursing

    Ha, and better yet, for getting offended over the idea that other countries might require fluency in a different language or not accept an American

  25. AN Scholarship

    Coffee Nurse replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Nursing

    Bullying and abuse are individual things that, unfortunately, exist. NETY is a hyperbolic phenomenon that does
