  1. Chemistry Fall 2010

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all for the support. All the advice has helped me. I'm basically having trouble converting numbers ( decimals ) in to scientific notation and deciding whether the exponent is negative or...

  2. am I wrong?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else. You should have just toileted the resident yourself. It is also a safety issue to leave a resident in the shower unattended even if the shower isn't running. WE are the...

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I go into my patients room and find him to be S.O.B and have anxiety. He is already on 2 liters of 02 via NC as ordered. I tell him to deep breath while I call the doctor. His pulse ox was 85-88....

  4. Drug seekers: where's the compassion?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I am the OP of the post. And I just wanted to say that after being a nurse for one year and hopefully more to come I still feel the same way. So to the posters that have said " walk in my shoes" I...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    Btw. I'm a nurse and future rn student. I always have make up on. Light colored manicured nails, and my hair is always decent. My scrubs are ironed and fit well. It is doable. I am a girly girl so I...

  6. Chemistry Fall 2010

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok I started chem already for fall and so far I like it but there is one concept that I cannot grasp which is SIG FIGS ! I hate, hate, hate dealing with significant figures and converting them from...

  7. When do I initial the M.A.R.?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest... I put my initials as soon as I pop them out of the med card. If something happens like patient refuses or becomes combative I can easily go back and circle my initials ( which means I...

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone... I just left orientation from an agency I signed up for to give flu shots. Everything seems pretty self explanatory. Ofcourse I'll have to get used to the paper work and things of...

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Long story short: I'm the oncoming nurse counting with the outgoing nurse. I find two narcotic count discrepancies. One narcotic was missing and one narcotic was NOT given as ordered. This was for...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

  17. Ratted out a co-worker and now feel guilty

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I work 3-11. The 11-7 nurse did not count with the 7-3 nurse. Thus when I counted the count was messed up. So basically the nurse never counted with the ofgoing nurse. That was a big no

  18. Was the doctor right or wrong about this?

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I received some lab results about a resident. According to the results she had a uti. I called the doctor but no and answer so I left a message on his cell. On the message I stated my name, facility,...

  21. Why is it a crime...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that security and money will NOT NEVER keep you in nursing. I have seen many nurses walk away from jobs with nothing else lined up due to the demands of nursing. Some nurses decided to be...

  23. Which came first, the $ or the ♥ ?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    For me it was the love. When I was a new grad I would ask for only 20 dollars an hour. Finally an employer told me that was a little too low and I should ask for more money.

  24. Coworker and medication errors

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing
