  1. Afebrile, profuse diaphoresis, pleuritic pain: WHY?

    RN1982 replied to Sterlink's topic in General Nursing

    Toradol is an NSAID so I'm assuming that it does have anti-pyretic effects. My guess it's an inflammatory response to the

  2. Can I do per diem with out experince?

    RN1982 replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    I never said all per diem programs were without training. But I still wouldn't recommend a new grad to do per diem for at least a year. To each his

    RN1982 replied to Sterlink's topic in General Nursing

    Did they give her tylenol? Maybe her fever

  4. Can I do per diem with out experince?

    RN1982 replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    No new grad should be working per diem until they've had at least a year's experience under their belt. Yeah the money is great. But you are putting your license on the line working in an area that...

  6. Nclex 75 questions: Passed or failed?

    RN1982 replied to I RN A's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I see a lot of these threads and it makes me wonder why people think we can predict NCLeX results. I had a friend who shut off at 75 and failed. I passed and mine shut off at 125. Sometimes I think...

  7. Does the school you go to reflect the pay

    RN1982 replied to CanCan's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the school and their NCLEX pass rate. The community college where I went to school had then and still does have a high NCLEX pass rate. And I feel I was well prepared to take the...

  8. Does the school you go to reflect the pay

    RN1982 replied to CanCan's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't go to school to some rinky dink community college and I think there would be others here that would be quite offended by your words. It would be better if you kept those insults to yourself.I...

  9. Social sorority and nursing school.

    RN1982 replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't take one to be in a sorority to know that being in a sorority takes up a lot of your free time. My friend was in one while in school and she did not do well academically because almost all...

    I'm readying my Hazmat suit as I type this. For those with no Hazmat suit, I suggest garbage bags and rubber

  15. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    RN1982 replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    For the most part, I don't have a problem with the docs where I currently work as much as I did where I used to work. Most are very friendly and we get to know the residents that rotate through the...

  18. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    RN1982 replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    My pet peeve is docs who come to write orders in the middle of the night and don't see the patient. We had a septic patient last week who was overflowed from the MICU. The patient's BP was low and...

  19. The "Weigh" Out---A Food Management Support Thread

    RN1982 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey everyone, Just got home from a 1.25 mile walk. I plan on using my elliptical later on today but it's so nice out I couldn't pass up a long walk this morning. I need to do some weight-lifting so I...

  20. What is the chain of command?

    RN1982 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I think it varies. That was my last job that I talked about. I was in charge, had an assignment, did staffing, was in touch with the admissions office for new admits and transfers. Now I work in an...

  21. What is the chain of command?

    RN1982 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its appropriate to ask a clerk to relay a message to a physciain's office. When I worked as charge nurse, I made assignments for the next shift, did staffing for the next shift, helped...

  22. Oral care

    RN1982 replied to Michigan's topic in General Nursing

    There is a moisturizing mouth spray, I can't remember what the name is though. It worked. If someone's mouth is that dry, that's terrible. Just gives me the impression that no one except you has...

  23. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    RN1982 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Or the nurses who take their sweet ol' time getting report. They come in, chit chat, get their coffee. Then they say they are running late so they want a rushed report. Irritates the hell out...

  24. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    RN1982 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem with the society in the U.S., maybe other countries, is that we as a whole are afraid to die. Death is made into such a bad and scary thing when, in certain circumstances, it...

  25. I'm getting written up! (Very long)

    RN1982 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't do anything wrong. You gave the patient the options. It's was her decison. Not the doc's, Not the S/O. Stay strong and stand up for yourself. He does not control whether or not you are...
