    klone replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so what are people's thoughts on amoxicillin rashes? When my youngest was 2, he received amoxicillin and on day 7 or 8, he broke out into an itchy swollen rash over his entire body. In my...

    What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    klone replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    No, not stay single. But be very very discerning in who you choose to spend the rest of your life with. A good book I would recommend is "He's Just Not That Into You." I think EVERY young woman...

    klone replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    It's not too late to change your mind. I remember REALLY WELL knowing 6 months into my 11-year relationship/marriage that it was a mistake. The first time I remember thinking that it was a mistake, I...

    Question for those who have finished - prorated tuition?

    klone replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    In case anyone else wonders, it does go by credits, not time. And the student mentor has to submit something to the bursar (a part-time status approval), but it appears that it does not have to be...

    Question for those who have finished - prorated tuition?

    klone replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    How can you do that if you don't know how long you will take to finish? My mentor mentioned proration and knew I was going to finish early. But nothing was said about needing prior

    Bullied by CNAs?

    klone replied to needsassistance's topic in General Nursing

    First, what you are describing is not bullying. Second, what does the nurse manager say when you talk to him/her about the CNAs'

    What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    klone replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I've thought of this often. Go to college. Do an RN program NOW. Then immediately go into an APRN program. CNM, NP, CRNA, whatever. Do it right away. Oh, and don't marry J. Move to Colorado and...

    Sterile water injections - back labor

    klone replied to queenanneslace's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The last hospital at which I worked L&D, we offered it and even had a P&P on it. I never ever saw it used, but I had heard from others that it hurt like a SOB being injected, but worked...

    Advice for new nurse moving to CO

    klone replied to ketorr's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Agree with Summit. Also, I was unclear if you will have 1 year or 6 months of experience by the time you're hoping to move. But your best bet is to start applying after you have at least that golden 1...

    What do you guys like to do in your free time?

    klone replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Nursing

    Twice in my life I've owned a motorcycle - once pre-kids, and again a couple years ago. My husband LOVES his motorcycle - taking it out alone into the mountains, he calls it "cycle-therapy". I tried...

    Pts handpicking assignments, and refusing nurses of opposite gender?

    klone replied to jdub6's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In OB/Gyn, yes. Luckily the vast majority of our physicians are female. The ones I've known, I know that if there absolutely was no other option, they would accept a male. But if we can accommodate...

    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    klone replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Don't work ED, but I scrub patients' charts to get psych and medical backgrounds when they enter OB care with us. I'm continually shocked/not shocked at how many young women call an ambulance to go to...

    Yep. As one husband explained (his wife, my patient, did not speak English) - they will take what they can get in an ER or otherwise emergent situation, but whenever possible, they want all females,...
