  1. Staying late - effect on pay

    CABG patch kid replied to rockermom's topic in General Nursing

    At my job we aren't allowed to clock in more than 7 minutes early, because if you do it gets rounded to 15 minutes and will technically make you go into overtime so its a big no no. However, lots of...

  2. Nursing Interventions w/ Rationales

    CABG patch kid replied to tavo_80816's topic in General Nursing

    Okay I'll give you a few examples. An assessment-type of intervention for this patient would be to assess the urine output. Note the quantity and characteristics of the urine. All rationale means...

  3. Help w/ time mgmt.

    CABG patch kid replied to sundowners2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and struggling with this as well. My goal is to have all of my charting and 24 hour chart checks done by 0400. So at 0200 I tell myself I have 30 minutes for each patient to finish...

  4. I have a question to ask.......

    CABG patch kid replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    Like someone else said, I think it depends so much on your coworkers and how well everyone works as a team, as well as your manager, your equipment and supplies, and the overall work environment. I'm...

  5. need some advice on CS pt safety & legality issues

    CABG patch kid replied to chicagobsn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The only thing I can say is that you have to stand up for what you believe in and protect your license. They probably don't want to stand with you for fear of losing their jobs, but that's their...

  6. New and hoping for some advice!!

    CABG patch kid replied to a123688's topic in General Nursing

    There are many people who do nursing as a second career and I'm sure that the experiences they gained in their first career did help them, but its certainly not necessary to be a good nurse....

  7. Ever have a day like this???

    CABG patch kid replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh how I would have loved to just laugh in that woman's

  8. Travel to Thousand Oaks

    CABG patch kid replied to taylorj1's topic in California Nursing

    Thousand Oaks is pretty nice, I don't live there myself but live about 20 minutes/25 miles away and have some friends that live there. The beach is about 15 minutes away, Disneyland is about an hour...

  9. How to remember all those signs and symptoms

    CABG patch kid replied to sziq1's topic in General Nursing

    Also I wanted to reassure you that renal is probably one of the most difficult pathophysiologies to learn, and many people struggle with fluid/electrolyes in school. You are not

  10. How to remember all those signs and symptoms

    CABG patch kid replied to sziq1's topic in General Nursing

    What may be helpful is first start by making a table. The first block of s/s should be for the ones that they all share in common. Then the rest should be different for each thing. For example,...

  11. New grad doesn't like new job!

    CABG patch kid replied to sunandsand's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This probably isn't a realistic answer, but the rebel in me is saying forget them, keep going to work how you have been and if they have a problem with it, let them fire you and then sue them for...

  12. FUN thread! how many months are you into your first year?

    CABG patch kid replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    CABG patch kid replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Like my mom always says, believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you

  14. grrrr

    CABG patch kid replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Its amazing how oblivious people are

  15. Evaluate me and tell me what you think.

    CABG patch kid replied to RNcDreams's topic in Emergency

    I'm not experienced or in the ER, lol, but just my is that you shouldn't go PD right now anywhere else because you don't want to burn yourself out too easy. You didn't mention if you work days or...

  16. Getting burned out?

    CABG patch kid replied to Jennifera's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What's the job market like in your area? Maybe home health would be a nice change of pace from LTC but I'm not sure what's in your area. More power to ya sister, I don't know how you guys in LTC do...

  17. Been getting calls from SEIU?

    CABG patch kid replied to RedZeppelinRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Just this week we've had CNA on site, passing around their brochures and trying to bust up our union. Its a little too coincidental that we are in bargaining right now. So yes, it is a little hard...

  18. taking the RN boards

    CABG patch kid replied to mggmy7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes but why would you want to put yourself through that time and time again when you can just study and pass the first time (no offense to those who didn't pass the first time but the above poster...

  19. What to do

    CABG patch kid replied to GeorgiaPeach2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It wouldn't hurt to apply to the hospital in Atlanta if you feel that is your true calling. If you get the NICU position first, go ahead and accept it as a back up plan. If you get the job in Atlanta...

  20. nursing and vacation time

    CABG patch kid replied to hygienejunkie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure about the religious question. I think as long as the hospital has ample staff they can give the religious holidays off to those that request. I'm not sure what they do if there isn't...

  21. I think I am an ACLS phoney

    CABG patch kid replied to racing-mom4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on passing!!! Well I just cancelled my ACLS this morning because I will be moving between the day of the class and the day of the megacode with 0 time to study.... thank for confirming that...

  22. I'm getting very discouraged...

    CABG patch kid replied to Mommyof2RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You honestly are not going to know how it feels to work somewhere until you actually DO it. Even during interviews, 9 times out of 10 there will be something "left out" about that particular floor or...

  23. i need elightenment

    CABG patch kid replied to bsn graduate's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also in many hospitals, the nursery nurse will come to the deliveries and do the assessment, vitamin K shot, erythromycin ointment, weight and measurements, bath, etc at the bedside. If it was a...

  24. taking the RN boards

    CABG patch kid replied to mggmy7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also check out the NCLEX thread here in our student section. I was in that thread religiously before testing and while waiting for my results. Just try not to read too many negative

  25. ? for California nurses about nurse/patient ratios...

    CABG patch kid replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a tele + step-down unit; the tele ratio is 4:1 and the step-down ratio is 3:1 (if you have even 1 step-down your total load will be 3, sometimes you have a mix of tele and stepdown...
