  1. Newbie Mom2be asks for non-medical advice

    jnrsmommy replied to lupin's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy. :ancong!: The only suggestion I have to add, as far as the low fat diet goes, why not check w/ the dietician at your

  2. How soon to give a prn??

    jnrsmommy replied to candycane267's topic in General Nursing

    I factor in what is going on w/ the pt. Did they recently have any kind of painful procedure done? Is this a habit w/ them? Is their doc the one that absolutely refuses to change the pain med (be it...

    jnrsmommy replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    Horrible Dream! permalink -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My last 2 nights at work were really tough. Today I was extremely tired and decided to take...

  4. DNR tattoos...

    jnrsmommy replied to MerdalRN's topic in General Nursing

    As much as some of us have joked about getting that same tattoo.... Anyway, why not just take the money you're going to spend on the tat and go to a lawyer and have papers drawn up? Better use of the...

  5. You know you work nights when.......

    jnrsmommy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your neighbors have become used to seeing you sleep in your car, and no longer knock on the window, they just check to make sure you're still breathing.

  6. AUTISM SPEAKS- You HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!

    jnrsmommy replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    *wiping tears from my eyes* THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS My nephew is autistic, and it's frustrating the hoops you have to jump through to get even a minimal amount of help. I'm forwarding this on to...

  7. Medical shows vs the real thing?

    jnrsmommy replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I was just reading through this thread and wondering if real life cops and csi's watched their tv counterparts and picked them apart like we do. Makes me wonder if they have a board like this...

  8. They called the cops!

    jnrsmommy replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Slightly off topic, but along the same line of thought... I lived in a small town before moving to Texas. One night, I worked 7P-7A, and didn't get out of there until almost 12P (the night from h e...

  9. Do you remove occluded or infiltrated IV right away or wait until new start done?

    jnrsmommy replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    However, check facility P&P. Several places I have worked, the policy is to keep it in place until a new one is placed. Personally, I think those were more directed toward mandatory IV site...

  10. Nursing Supervisor screw ups!!!

    jnrsmommy replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a problem just the other day. Last Thursday night I was at work and wound up in the ER for a few hours after I had some type of allergic reaction (assume it was to latex as that is my only...

  11. Looking for advice on adding agency work to resume

    jnrsmommy posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    I really really really wish I would have read all the info available on this site regarding agency work. Anyhoo, I'm having to look for another job because I'm just not getting enough hours (7 1/2...

  12. Picc Line- Tpn

    jnrsmommy replied to epappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Also, check your facility P&P, and any information regarding the PICC that your pt has. I've come across a few pts that have the manufactures info on their chart and these state how much to waste...

  13. Lost one of my favorite patients

    jnrsmommy replied to ICRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient that was admitted to our floor on and off for for several years. I actually first encountered him when I was a student. He always said I was his favorite, bestest nurse, and whenever...

  14. Self-centered motorist

    jnrsmommy replied to RNontheroad's topic in General Nursing

    I love that reply. I'm gonna have to remember that one next time I get pulled to

  15. 3rd shift always leaves on time... I never do

    jnrsmommy replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    There are some really lazy co-workers out there, unfortunately. I always try and make it a point to get what I can done before next shift arrives, or to at least make it as few things as possible that...

  16. Looking for advice on adding agency work to resume

    jnrsmommy replied to jnrsmommy's topic in Agency Nurses

    Thanks sooo much for your wonderful advice. I've been trying to work on this all day. You've given me some great ideas on what to put.

  17. Is this a fair practice??

    jnrsmommy replied to lorster's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That's crazy. I would definitely be trying to find out why it's acceptable for your co-worker and not you. I had a spiral fracture of my tib/fib that I sustained at home. Luckily the doc did not...

  18. super powers...

    jnrsmommy replied to registerednut1221's topic in General Nursing

    I would LOVE the power to enable my pts to remember everything that they called me into the room for. You know, when you're going out the door, they're hollering back at you "Oh yeah, I remembered...

  19. Would You do the same thing I did?

    jnrsmommy replied to vnsam's topic in General Nursing

    If that would have been one of my girls, I would've been out the door as well. What boggles my mind is that the OP, who was working in the ICU basically as an aide (I don't mean that in a derogatory...

  20. need info about IV vancomycin

    jnrsmommy replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not always true. The last dose of Vanc I gave about a week ago, the trough was well wnl, but the peak was off the chart (never saw it that high before, 66 point something). This pt was not renal...

  21. need info about IV vancomycin

    jnrsmommy replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way I was always taught too. The military facility that I was working at last year went away w/ vanc P&T, big old note from pharmacy on lab order saying that new data was showing that...

  22. Rounding with Physicians?

    jnrsmommy replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    Generally, I usually don't round w/ the docs, mostly because they're pretty good at sneaking in and out of the floor..lol. Seriously, I do try to get in the room w/ the docs if there's something I...

  23. How many of you work 3 days /12 hrs shifts?

    jnrsmommy replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked on med-surg, I loved working my 3 12s in a row. Got lucky enough that the next 2 nights you get the same pts back (unless discharges occured), but that things would, for the most part...

  24. care giver role strain

    jnrsmommy replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Being that's it really late for me right now and I'm functioning on my last brain cell, the only resource that comes to mind is get in contact w/ the social worker of the facility where you work. I'm...

  25. I got a job!At an abortion clinic?

    jnrsmommy replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

    You said none of the job offers you received until this one, I personally think that says alot right there. As others have said, YOU are the one that is going to have to live w/ the decision you...
