  2. Another 'is it worth it' question for RNs

    blondy2061h replied to solDanz's topic in General Nursing

    Bit the bullet and do it. Go for ADN. Many, many people work while in nursing school- at least part time. It's only two years and the sooner you do it the sooner you'll be earning an RN salary instead...

    blondy2061h replied to 111170's topic in General Nursing

    blondy2061h replied to VanessaTitoyan's topic in General Nursing

  5. Doctor's lying about telephone order

    blondy2061h replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

  6. Doctor's lying about telephone order

    blondy2061h replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    Why is your facility using telephone orders on a routine basis in 2017? Do your providers not have remote EMR

  7. Blood comparability

    blondy2061h replied to BKingRn's topic in General Nursing

  10. Would you work outside of your scope of practice to save a life?

    blondy2061h replied to metallaces's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've kind of done this before. I had a patient having a severe med reaction once. Wheezing. Hives. Very panicked. We didn't have rapid response at my hospital yet and the doctor wasn't answering his...

  11. On-call or cancelled? That is the question!

    blondy2061h replied to Eschell2971's topic in General Nursing

    So these are your scheduled shifts people are placed on call for? So presumably parents already have childcare set up and night shifters should be expecting to be up all

  12. Cath lab ridiculous call time

    blondy2061h replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital used to have a flex unit that only went inpatient when the census was high. They staffed it with call. On my working days I'd look at what the census was and decide how much call I wanted...

    blondy2061h replied to WorriedFutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should probably self report to the board of nursing. You'll be in less trouble that way than if you wait for your employer to report you. I jest, I

  17. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    blondy2061h replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

    It's a counterpoint to all those bumper stickers that say, "My son is an honor student at Main Street

  18. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    blondy2061h replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Aw man, I came here for the story about narcanning an honor student, not another thread where a student lectures on compassion. False

  21. Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

    blondy2061h replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    blondy2061h replied to ptquery's topic in General Nursing

    NIV in and of itself isn't painful. What happened after her three days on it, may I ask? It's certainly uncomfortable, but that is usually because you're struggling to breath and trying to avoid...

    blondy2061h replied to Racer15's topic in General Nursing
