  1. Ugh...mini-rant

    RN1982 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    This morning we get a patient from the floor with Afib with RVR. The Genius Intern resident wants to order a lopressor drip. I tried to explain that there is no such thing, let's start Amiodarone...

  2. Ugh...mini-rant

    RN1982 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is a mini-rant thread I'm going to include mine: I can't believe some of the people I work with. I feel like I'm working with a bunch of pre-teens, all whiny and bratty, but surprise I'm...

  3. Modifying tasks when pregnant. My boss says "no".

    RN1982 replied to RNnik07's topic in General Nursing

    If your doctor found something concerning why didn't you tell your manager about it? You should have been more

  4. If it's such a horrible job, why not quit?

    RN1982 replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, are you kidding? Do you think being a CRNA or NP is stress free? Puh-leeze. And it's not like you can just jump into them, either. Those areas require schooling and it's not

  5. If it's such a horrible job, why not quit?

    RN1982 replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's just so easy to say "If you don't like your job, why don't you just quit?", isn't it? It's just sooooooooo easy. Who can just quit? And honestly, that statement is irritating as heck. It's not...

  6. Modifying tasks when pregnant. My boss says "no".

    RN1982 replied to RNnik07's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is such thing as light duty. We just had two nurses give birth and they took normal assignments just like everyone up until they left for leave. However one did have a lifting...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    The concentrations were different in the pump set up than what was hanging..The patient was vented and no one was around. Either way, it's a patient safety issue which is why you always check your...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    RN1982 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm sorry but I think the whole DNP thing is a crock. If I am going to spend $20k on higher education in order to receive my DNP then I should be paid as such. I'm hearing that having a DNP will only...
