    BSN75 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi guys, My 17 year old son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on 1/18. The prognosis is very good, but the induction phase of chemo is pure hell! He's already lost 20 pounds and was...

  5. Office nurses ARE real nurses!!

    BSN75 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Is anyone else sick of hearing that nurses who don't work in hospitals are not real nurses? If I hear one more person say "all you do is take blood pressures all day" I'm going to scream! I understand...

  8. Am I stupid for giving this up?

    BSN75 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the posters who urged the clinic job. I only worked in the hospital as a LPN, but quickly found it was not for me. My whole RN career so far has been in clinic, and I can't imagine ever...

  9. Nurses do you love or hate your job?

    BSN75 replied to angelcarmichael's topic in General Nursing

    I have a love/hate relationship with my job: Love working with my docs..they are the best Love developing a bond with the patients who are nice and treat us with respect Love hearing "you are my...

  10. Still Angry at MAs playing nurse or PA

    BSN75 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I believe you said the Dr already told your wife she could stop the med at any time? So why does it matter if she decreases to 5mg before stopping? I'm not seeing the big deal here. If the wife is not...

  11. just yapping

    BSN75 replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    Mine was on the 8th. I wish I turned 25 instead of 35 :) Happy

  12. "Nurse" wins powerball

    BSN75 replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a LPN I called myself a nurse. Now as a RN I call myself a nurse. If I won Powerball I'd call myself a RETIRED nurse:clown: and never work

  13. Highest INR....

    BSN75 replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    We had a pt at my clinic a few weeks ago at 17.9. She came in complaining of pain in the side of her tongue, she was bleeding into the tissue. We only gave her PO Vitamin K and the next morning her...

  15. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    BSN75 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Touche'......Well

  16. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    BSN75 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I honestly don't blame you. You could say it's none of your business and move on, but that's hard to do. I was a LPN for a long time too, and I didn't go through all the extra schooling to make...

  17. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    BSN75 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Hope you figure out what's best for you...good

  18. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    BSN75 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    "Maybe she is using the internet on her break." You're right, I didn't consider that. She said it's a very boring job, so I just assumed she was on the computer during

  19. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    BSN75 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    This is jus my 2 cents, but I would never (ever) just send an Email to quit my job. It seems very unprofessional to me. If you can't give 2 weeks, you should always go in and talk to your manager and...

  20. Tired of being FAT and having low self esteem

    BSN75 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I felt just like you about 2 years ago. All I ever ate was fast food. Was up to 225 pounds and couldn't breathe just walking up the stairs. It's a miserable feeling. The first thing I did was go...

  21. Where is the caring and advocacy for ME when I really need it????

    BSN75 replied to LoveActually's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry u were treated that way. Sometimes it does feel like all we do is bend over backwards to help others- I'm sorry there was no one there to help you in yout time of need, not very...

  22. Office nurses ARE real nurses!!

    BSN75 replied to BSN75's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    DogWmn, it's so funny that you mention seeing the patients outside the clinic. While I don't get calls at home, I do see my patients eveywhere! One night I had a woman take off her shoes and socks and...

  23. I was questioning whether I wanted to be a nurse from the threads on allnurses.com

    BSN75 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Allnurses is where we come to vent. That's why a lot of the postings you read can be so negative. I think for the most part nursing is a very satisfying job, but like all jobs, can be very difficult...

  24. Medical Billing and Coding and RN

    BSN75 replied to tobi1007's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's absolutely great knowledge to have if you're working in a doctors office. When I call Insurance companies to do prior authorization for a CT or MRI, you have to have the proper ICD-9 and...

  25. Why why why don't people understand...

    BSN75 replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't help that on the news they keep saying "contact your doctor right away if you have flu like symptoms so you can start antibiotics immediately". I sit here and yell at the TV each time I...
