  1. Taking BP on a shaking patient

    Guest27531 replied to SwedenRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sometimes getting a reading is not easy. Did the patient know what his usual BP was? I work in a procedure lab where we do exercise stress testing and sometimes getting those readings when patients...

  2. I feel like a babysitter (vent)

    Guest27531 replied to PediLove2147's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not in the right job...change as soon as possible. While you are looking for a new job make a list of all the reasons you want to be challenged. When you find that challenging job there...

    Guest27531 replied to brown127's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are definitely in a difficult situation and I'm sorry to say I don't have a complete answer for you. There is certainly nothing wrong with requesting a transfer to another floor (it may or not...

  5. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    Guest27531 replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

  6. Career Opportunities for Holistic Nurses

    Guest27531 replied to CaliAlli's topic in Holistic

    Homeopathy is a great specialty, however, it is not a "Nursing Specialty", which "Holistic Nursing" is...That's not to say a nurse or, especially, a Holistic Nurse wouldn't choose homeopathy to...

    Guest27531 replied to Sachan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations!!! Thank you for letting me know what happened. Hugs all around! Now, when you start working don't panic when you feel overwhelmed (you will - because we all do at some points). I...

  8. Advice on job interview, please!!

    Guest27531 replied to Sachan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You'll do fine because you know what not to do. Do not hold back and behave timidly and show that you are not confident of your skills. They know how much experience you have so there is no...

  9. NP or CNS

    Guest27531 replied to car2614's topic in General Nursing

    That's not the exact question to be asking. It is about the overall focus. As a Nurse Practitioner you will choose a particular population - Adult, Family, Peds, Geriatric, etc. and you will be...

  10. Scared I won't like nursing! Wondering if I should be a teacher instead.

    Guest27531 replied to April2318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I'm not clear on where you stand with your education. You say you will be losing 40 hours out of 82 if you change majors now. Does that mean you have taken about half of your nursing courses or...

  11. Please Help!! Interview with a cardiac clinic - LVN

    Guest27531 replied to lvnibclc's topic in Cardiac

    That's a good question. They will probably want you to be very familiar with doing EKGs, venipuncture, and the most widely used cardiac meds. They will likely be interested in your experience in an...

  12. NP or CNS

    Guest27531 replied to car2614's topic in General Nursing

    That totally depends on where you are going. What type of work do you want to do? Do you want to be a Nurse Practitioner or a Clinical

  13. Holistic Paper Advice. Help please!

    Guest27531 replied to esunada's topic in Holistic

    Your paper is probably written by now but I would advise giving a general introduction about CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) and how it is being slowly accepted practice in certain areas....

  14. Career Opportunities for Holistic Nurses

    Guest27531 replied to CaliAlli's topic in Holistic

    I wonder what it was she had to share? and why she didn't share it. I notice she only has 3 posts total on the Allnurses.com board. I went to The BirchTree Center for Healthcare Transformation....

  15. ADN/BSN/MSN

    Guest27531 replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't take this the wrong way as I mean it only as constructive criticism but you need to give more attention to your mastery of English. If you wish to succeed in college (both Baccalaureate and...

  16. How do you communicate with your patient?

    Guest27531 replied to ashm24's topic in General Students

    I still remember when I was a student and felt the same anxiety. Over the years I learned that the anxiety was only there when I was thinking about myself rather than the patient. So, you need to...

  17. ADN/BSN/MSN

    Guest27531 replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    There is a new trend for students to complete the entire education without having any work experience. There is a huge downside to this because the level is practice is different. If I were an...

  18. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    Guest27531 replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    That would work if the Nurse Practice Acts were very similar. I believe that is what is being considered for the Primary Care Nurse

  19. ADN/BSN/MSN

    Guest27531 replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    Whew! It's great to see a young person who is looking to the future. You have received some good advice already and I'll just add a couple of comments. 1. Given that you intend to move to a high...

  20. Breakfast before a 12 hour shift..

    Guest27531 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely need breakfast. What lasts best is either a Protein shake or a piece of toast with cottage

    Guest27531 replied to mustbcrazy's topic in General Students

    So, it's been a long time since I had to complete a Nursing Diagnosis assignment. I looked at the current list of NursingDiagnosis and found a few that would pertain to your patient. You should...

  22. Is this fair to ask of a new RN?

    Guest27531 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It does sound like ICU nursing is not for you but right now you are in a perfect position to set yourself up for a great career. One year of ICU nursing will be fine to move on to another job but I...

  24. How to Become A Nurse....

    Guest27531 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Find the "nursing" school that you wish to attend first and ask them how many credits they will transfer and how the courses are set up. You should find a nursing school that is close...

  25. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    Guest27531 replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    I think we will see Nurse Practitioners licensed at the Federal level within our lifetime. Those who have some power in Wash DC are starting to talk about that now...I'm not so sure about other...
