  1. New Nursing Student With Excelsior

    BinkieRN replied to NESHIA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nurses with years and years of experience have failed. It's not so much what you know. It's what you don't know. You have to behave as a fresh grad. Do you have your LPN? I didn't think they accepted...

  2. Does GPA matter in terms of getting a job?

    BinkieRN replied to firstyearRN's topic in General Nursing

  3. RN with LPN license

    BinkieRN replied to Rhonda V's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't re-instate my LPN license. I would tell them that you are an RN but that you are willing to work for an LPN salary in order to obtain the position you want. RN for LPN pay, I would think...

  6. Perineal anxiety

    BinkieRN replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was referring to the United States since the OP lives in the United States. The US is the only country in the world who routinely circumsizes. We all know it's now as routine as it used to be but...

    BinkieRN replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    Men don't have peri areas do they? Think of it this way...more than half of all men are circumsized so no

  10. Malpractice insurance = bad idea?

    BinkieRN replied to Guitar_Heroine's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, here's thought. You worked in a legal/malpractice office, great, but you're not an attorney are you? I'm a nurse, I work in a hospital, I've learned things FIRST HAND too but I'm not a doctor so...

  11. Malpractice insurance = bad idea?

    BinkieRN replied to Guitar_Heroine's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you think it is propaganda does not mean it is so. The attorney for the hospital has only one interest which is protecting the best interests of the hospital. Patients and patients...

  12. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    BinkieRN replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone has downed them? I didn't read that anywhere? CNA's work harder than I do. They are kind and compassionate. They are my eyes and ears. I could not do my job without them. CMA's...

  13. Malpractice insurance = bad idea?

    BinkieRN replied to Guitar_Heroine's topic in General Nursing

    You are incorrect. This is taken from the NSO website. It's also in my written policy. Professional Liability Coverage - up to $6,000,000 aggregate, up to $1,000,000 each claim * Covers you with up...

  15. IV stick method

    BinkieRN replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    I use the direct stick for pts with good veins and the 2 stick method for pts with rolling or fragile veins. "Digging" to get an IV is counter productive, it injures the vein which then can't be used...

  16. charting"incident report filled" in nurse's notes

    BinkieRN replied to NICURN04's topic in General Nursing

    Incident Reports/Statement of Events are internal documents only. If you write in the patients chart that an incident report or SOE has been filled out then a lawyer can ask to see it. If nothing is...

  17. Policy on patient leaving AMA with IV in place

    BinkieRN replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital policy is to notify the police department if a patient leaves AMA with an IV in place. The police can bring them back to the floor to have the IV DC'd but generally the patient will come...

  18. Malpractice insurance = bad idea?

    BinkieRN replied to Guitar_Heroine's topic in General Nursing

    Many nurses do not realize that the role of the Board of Nursing is to protect the public, not to protect the nurse. The state boards of nursing have the task of investigating any nurse who may have...

  19. most fertile during menstruation? what?

    BinkieRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't do it. You fall in love with the child and then ultimately have to give the child back. Usually to an abusive parent. I wish I could, there's such a need for quality foster homes but I just...

  20. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    BinkieRN replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how requiring a nurse to have their BSN helps the MA issue? Our profession is not being eroded due to a shortage of nurses and the myriads of those eager to take our jobs. The problem is...

  21. Pushing Versed & Sublimaze

    BinkieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I took a patient down to the holding area of OR for a quick procedure. The doctor asked me to stay with the patient. An RN was told by the doctor to give 2mg of Versed and 50mcg of Sublimaze. This RN...

  23. most fertile during menstruation? what?

    BinkieRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where did I post that I don't know what a luteal phase is? Duh, the luteal phase is the time between a woman’s ovulation and menstruation. If it's less than 10 days then the woman has a luteal...

  24. most fertile during menstruation? what?

    BinkieRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please don't presume that you know me. You don't. I have been through infertility treatment including IVF. Just because I'm a newbie nurse doesn't mean I'm a newbie woman. Infertility knows no age....

  25. most fertile during menstruation? what?

    BinkieRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you quote me, please use my entire sentence. Picking and choosing words which you quote are misleading as to what I actually posted. Women can get pregnant anytime during their cycle should they...
