    FROGGYLEGS replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Well shame on me. Here is my confession: I read this post completely out of context. My mistake; I also admit to not noticing that it is in the distance learning forum....

  2. Questions about DCN

    FROGGYLEGS replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi. I think DCN seems to be as effective as a high dose of IBU. LPN licensure is only required if you want to work as an LPN. AN ASN student may challenge the LPN boards if certain conditions are...

  4. Urine return???

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :rotfl: I do date and initial the BSB. :) If I could figure out a way to do the same to the actual catheter it would be dated too. You'd be amazed at how many dated catheters I've seen that are...

  5. Tee vs. No Tee

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the habit of wearing the small, fitted type t-shirts under my scrubs. I feel halfway naked if I put on a scrub top without one. A few weeks ago a woman was working in my area and bent over...

  6. concealed medicines?

    FROGGYLEGS posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a simple question and I almost feel silly asking about it, but it just won't seem to go away. At any given time it seems like I have at least one patient this applies to. Can a nurse ever...

  7. Tool used for Bacillin Injection

    FROGGYLEGS replied to RedNurse1979's topic in General Nursing

    The Tubex and Carpujects I've seen are all blue. The difference in the Carpuject that I recall is that it had clear wings and a clear thing that the syringe sort of slips into. The Tubex just...

  11. Do you need "C" to work as CNA??

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    In this state you can work as a CNA at a particular facility for a certain length of time (90 days I believe) without the certification. In order to do that you must have training that is equal to or...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice on this. I really appreciate it. Sassynurse, the points you made about the food are similar to what I seem to remember hearing forever ago in school. It seems like we were...

  15. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

    FROGGYLEGS replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been given any option about the breast exam. It's always been a packaged deal. The only change I've seen was the addition of a rectal exam last time I went. I thought they were doing...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    Socially clean and spirit swabs....I love it! Seriously, I do and I'm not saying that to be sarcastic. I was taught to swab with alcohol, let dry, then stick. Everything changes eventually...

  21. Do the state inspectors ever show up on noc shift?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They got us this year at 0400 on a Monday morning and they came out fighting. I've heard of other times when they've hit on night shift as well. 0400 is the earliest I've heard of. Once they came...

  22. RN bashing

    FROGGYLEGS replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I seemed to have missed the LPN vs. RN bashing threads as well. I'm sure they are out there; I know I've read my fair share in the past. I'm also sure that the threads aren't going to stop any time...

  23. What an Aid Hates

    FROGGYLEGS replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: This probably isn't meant to be funny, but it created a hilarious mental image for me. On a more serious note; rudeness can be found among any profession. I do my best to not be rude or...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to kimburlynn's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked in surgery, but I do recall some interesting events with people waking up when I was doing clinical rotations. We had this one young man to wake up and he looked to be pretty...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to nurseT's topic in Correctional

    The prison I was a nurse at recorded ALL calls regardless of length. They can also listen in on you in just about any area by way of the intercom system. All they have to do is key up the number in...
