  1. My hat is off to you!

    CABG patch kid replied to Delirium, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not an L&D nurse, but my advice to any student trying to get into a specialty area is to try and get an extern job in unit you are interested in. One of my friends started on the Gyno floor,...

  2. HELPFUL opinion needed!!

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

    It sounds like the patient is losing too much oxygen during the suctioning i.e. hypoxia causes tachycardia and decreased O2 sats; either the patient needs to be hyperoxygenated more before suctioning...

  3. Hairstles for nurses???

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

    I agree with everyone here. One day, JUST ONCE, lol, I wore it half up, you know, where you put the front pieces back and leave the rest down (my hair is past my shoulders). I couldn't stand it! I...

  5. Soon to be GN seeks advice

    CABG patch kid replied to fil149's topic in California Nursing

    Hello, I'm a new grad/new RN, I'll tell you a bit about CA: 1. I prefer not to post the exact hospital name here (I'll tell you in a pm if you want) but I live in southern CA, between Santa Barbara...

  6. Should I do LTC as a new grad?

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

    Where have you guys been applying? Are you applying to areas that are the "norm" for new grads, like med-surg? Are you having a hiring freeze in your specific area and if so, could you commute to a...

  9. Scope of Practice

    CABG patch kid replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm pretty sure there is a section on the state board's website that defines the CRNA's scope of practice; at least I'm pretty sure I saw one on CA's site but maybe it varies per

  12. getting anxious

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

    Yes, you can check on the BON website, it does take about 48 hours, but they only update Mon-Fri, so since I tested on Friday, I have to wait until Tue. for the results, instead of Sun. like quick...

  13. Waiting for your results come in here

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

    Hey Vill, I'm in CA and also took my test on Friday. From what I read here, it takes a minimum of 48 hours for your name to show up on the board's site, so tomorrow would be the first possible day it...

  14. Verbal abuse from a Nursing Aide

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

    Draken, I'm sorry that you're wife had some issues at the LTC facility, but all the stuff you typed here, about nurses supposedly killing patients and whatnot, well I don't think its exactly legal for...

  15. getting anxious

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

    Lucky you, from what I've heard here, CA isn't a quick results state, so I won't hear anything until Tuesday, minimum. Hopefully 'Bob" or whoever has already processed my transcripts. THE SUSPENSE...

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

  17. "The Turn"

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

    I'm thinking because left side-lying is the position to increase placental perfusion, so if you are increasing blood flow to the placenta, you will lose some peripheral circulation, therefore,...

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

    I agree, this website is nice because I don't think others can identify with this torture unless they experience it! I'm still trying not to think about it, but earlier tonight I went over every...

  19. Verbal abuse from a Nursing Aide

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

    I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Unfortunately, I think the worst part of this all is how that must have looked to the patient. I'm not trying to make you feel worse, but I'm sure the...

  20. Riddle me this

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

    LMAO:lol2: Cmonkey, CNA class isn't a time waster IMO. Although we didn't get the CNA cert. after first semester of RN school, we might as well have because all we did for the first 10 weeks was CNA...

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

    Yes, it does feel good to have it done. The worst part is over because I'm not letting myself think that I'd ever have to take that horrible test again

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

    Ok, I just took mine this morning. I don't know what to think, that whole test was kind of a blur. I felt like a lot of the questions made me think "What the heck?" like they were out of left field....
