  1. Nurses with tattoos?

    crunchymomx3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility have a policy on tattoos? Where I work the policy states that you can't have any tattoos visible that are "offensive". That's kind of vague wording to me lol. I have a small set of...

    crunchymomx3 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been using mainly the Saunders book and CD for studying. Basically, I have been going over question after question and reviewing as needed. My averages seem to be running around %75. Is that...

    crunchymomx3 replied to NorthTexasNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. night shift

    crunchymomx3 replied to lelania1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    crunchymomx3 replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, I would mix say Zosyn in a 50 ML bag of D5, run it in on a pump, disconnect the tubing when it's infused, and then flush the line at the hub closest to the patient with 10 cc of NS. We...

  13. Race during report.

    crunchymomx3 replied to emnicams's topic in General Nursing

    Why is mentioning race a bad thing. If your patient is a 45 year old Caucasian male you don't say the patient is 45 and leave it at that, do you? Why is mention race different from mentioning gender...

    crunchymomx3 replied to crunchymomx3's topic in General Nursing

  25. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    crunchymomx3 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I hated writing careplans during school but just the fact of writing and having to think about how I was caring for a patient led to critical thinking. Looking back, as much of a pain as they are,...
