  1. Nurses in society

    Nurserton replied to vnuwish's topic in General Nursing

    Yea I love watching the docs hang bags of fluid and just generally hanging around pts at the bedside. At our hospital, I wonder if the docs ID cards even give them access to the med rooms...they sure...

  2. When are TEDs no longer EFFECTIVE

    Nurserton replied to Craychek's topic in General Nursing

    This is not an evidece based answer but just a little "nursing judgement." SCDs are used for inactive pts to simulate muscle contractions. So, my educated guess is that if the pt is inactive for long...

  3. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

    Nurserton replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats. I graduated in Aug 08 and moved to ATL @ end of Feb. I work @ Southern Regional, but I tried to get into Grady (shocking I know) b/c they are a disproportionate share hospital (DSH) so you...

  4. I love nursing but hate NP school

    Nurserton replied to freedom22's topic in General Nursing

    Why not PA school? You have to look at the foundations of these professions. Nursing is a holistic, inclusive profession of total care, which happens to include the body. While there is a science...

  5. Standardized Office Visit Protocols

    Nurserton posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hello, I am a new nurse who will be beginning @ a community clinic in 2 weeks. I am not intimidated (as I've heard a lot about going to a hospital first, etc.), and I have a great deal of health care...

  6. Re-taker need help managing time

    Nurserton replied to sillyxaria's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was in the same boat when I just took my NCLEX for the first time. I had an hour commute, so I bought the audio CD review, which was great for me to ensure I reviewed daily no matter what. The...

  8. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

    Nurserton replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX this morning. Computer shut off at 75 questions. I actually didn't find it to be that difficult...we will see...I prayed sooo much...soo much riding on this..Please Lord let me have...

  9. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    Nurserton replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you really don't feel ready, postpone it. I remember reading someone's suggestions and them saying this as well. It's not worth taking another loss...you know where you stand and if you're as...

  10. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    Nurserton replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This thread is great. - To be effective, TPA (clot-buster) must be given within 5 days of DVT onset. - The rotator cuff includes the teres minor, infraspinatus, & supraspinatus. - The...

    Nurserton replied to Brena02's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was looking at that site as well. Have you taken the NCLEX

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Nurserton replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OK since everyone keeps ranting about who knows what an isotonic solution is and whether they learned rhythm strips, I am going to copy/paste my response from 2 pages ago since people don't read:...

  13. Should medication aides exist?

    Nurserton replied to BradleyRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Like others have said, in instances like that, more NURSES should be hired. It is extremely dangerous to have personnel administering DRUGS who have no education on pathophysiology, mode of action,...

    Where are all the clinic nurses??? Can you guys pleeease answer some of these posts as I am a new nurse who just accepted a clinic job and would LOVE to hear you seasoned RN's inputs!!

  17. patient $$$ balances

    Nurserton replied to gemba1970's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    That is an administrative duty that, IMO, is inappropriate for the nurse to handle. Honestly, we shouldn't even be aware of our pt's ability to pay or not because it is a conflict of interest that...

  18. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Nurserton replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's not about the pay if your aspiration is to be a hospital nurse, then you will be paid the going rate. However, many autonomous positions (such as an office nurse), managerial positions, etc., DO...

  19. new nursing student working in ped's office

    Nurserton replied to twahls65's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Well, from a personal perspective, I had a friend who had a lump in her breast at 13. It turned out to be a fibroid, but if no one would've inspected her, who knows if it would have been detected, and...

    Nurserton replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course you'll need a stethoscope. You're going to need one anyway to be a

  22. Stethascope Cover for hair breakage

    Nurserton replied to JenHCC's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There's a zillion of them on ebay..just search for stethoscope sleeves. They're like 99 cents to a few bucks on

  23. How many people who start NS finish?

    Nurserton replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    A LOT of people are 'weaned out' during the prereq's b/c the science courses can be pretty difficult, especially in a b.s.n./rn program. I think this also continues with basic med-surg. You get...
