    There's a student in my class that has AIDS. I'm sure that you can be a nurse with Hep

  2. RN Students

    DustinRN replied to RN760's topic in General Nursing

    For the love of god thank you. I wish half of the nursing staff where we do clinicals had the same mind set. I'm so surprised to see them cringe at the thought of having a student nurses on the...

  3. IV Therapy Question

    DustinRN replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    We just finished our IV therapy class, and we never used googles. I would feel the same about googles as I do about wearing gloves; it just makes finding the vein harder. I do wear my gloves when I...

  4. How much pay should I ask for?

    DustinRN replied to grad's topic in General Nursing

    BSN nurses get paid approximately $0.50 more /hr in my neck of the woods. The real benefit comes if you want to move into management or advanced practice

    DustinRN replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that answers the question of no carb diets. I don't want to walk around the rest of my life with

  6. opinion--no carb diet

    DustinRN replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    I live in SC and there were a ton of people that were on the *low* carb diet, preferably Atkins diet. I don't see how you could go longer than a week without carbs. That is the only fuel your brain...

  9. Men in the OB

    DustinRN replied to Brob's topic in Ob/Gyn

    On my OB rotation we had to wear scrubs instead of our uniforms. Everytime I went into the room I was greeted by the family with "how are you doc." I swear I got that at least four times. Anyways,...

  10. young female docs

    DustinRN replied to youngfemaledoc's topic in General Nursing

    Just about everytime I walk into a patients room they think I'm the Dr. This is especially prevalent in the elderly population. Most people around the area where I live don't encounter too many male...

  11. Changed my major to surgical tech..

    DustinRN replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen surgical cases in two different hospitals during clinicals, and at both of the hospitals the RN's don't scrub in. I remember this because I told my classmate there is no way I would want...

  12. Peds Question

    DustinRN replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student so anything I say take with a grain of salt. I think D5 by itself is isotonic and with any additive such as NS.....1/2NS or 1/4NS will make the fluid hypertonic. Is this

  13. I hate being sick at Christmas

    DustinRN replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

  16. John Hopkins University Hospital

    DustinRN replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    I was reading about John Hopkins the other day and the article I was reading stated they match pay from areas like Philadelphia and Washington DC. The most attractive thing about John Hopkins IMHO is...

  17. Malpractice Insurance

    DustinRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am wondering if hospitals and/or agencies will pay for your malpractice insurance if you agree to come work for them?

  18. Does everyone get an IV?

    DustinRN replied to NPJohnson's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just a nursing student, but I would encourage an IV during labor. You never know what will happen, and it's nice to be

  19. To give credit to the show ER (part 2)

    DustinRN replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    I love to watch ER too. I hated to love Dr. Romano, but it really shocked me when they dropped the bomb (or in his case a copter) on him. I think I'm going to miss his smart remarks. I think I was...

  21. Trauma Practice

    DustinRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm wondering if any CRNA's on this site do trauma anesthesia? Also, can you complete a residency of some sort with a specialized practice in some places?

  22. Giving Insulin

    DustinRN replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is this a trick question? My answer to your question is hold the insulin if the BS levels are stable and call your supervisor. And if you had to use a needle I would pick a 27 gauge needle. PS-I...

    DustinRN replied to unknown99's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you just have no clue about the conduction pathway or if you just need a little help understanding the direction of the conductions. The conduction system begins with the: Sinoatrial...
