    blondy2061h replied to Brewskii13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are the answers you gave in the original post known to be the correct answers and you're wondering how they were arrived upon? Or are they what you're getting for your answer? For 2a a concentration...

    blondy2061h replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I type almost all of my posts on my iPhone, so the limited editting windpw often irritates me. I never learned sentence diagramming in school. It was out of fashion and just never covered by the time...

  4. Help with Pediatric IV calculations

    blondy2061h replied to Brewskii13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That first question is one of the worst questions I've ever read as far as pharm calculations go. It mirrors no real situation I've ever seen and seems designed just to trick you. Since it sucks so...

    blondy2061h replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I hate when people use the expression "much less" incorrectly. "I was so busy I didn't even have time to take a lunch break, much less a bathroom break!" Uhm, no. That's backwards. Just because you...

  11. Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

    blondy2061h replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    We had one very briefly. It was the dumbest thing. We discovered it wasn't nurses talking setting it off like they'd like to think. It was the pneumatic tube system. Or call lights. Or...

  12. ER rushing patients to the floor

    blondy2061h replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Probably the rush was that patients were getting more and more backed up in the ER. I'm not trying to justify it, because sending an unstable septic patient off to be a med surg nurse's 9th patient...

    Care pathway for pneumonia specifies early antibiotics and that blood cultures are preferred (not required) before starting only if they won't cause delay in administration of

  17. Wearing mask during flu season

    blondy2061h replied to Nurse Vinnie's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good idea. Also, new intradermal vaccines use such smaller quantities, maybe that would be tolerable? I had allergic reactions to flu vaccine in the past but was very set against masking all...

  18. Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    blondy2061h replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    The things that come to mind when I read your post are school nursing (probably less pay), dialysis, OR, psych, day surgery, or endoscopy (the last two are probably very competitive). Does anything...

  19. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    blondy2061h replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't play like that. If it's problematic they get warned that I am on to them and this won't be acceptable. After that I report behavior to superiors in a strictly fact based manner. I don't play...

    blondy2061h replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pretending you can't hear them when on a phone call or walking away if they ask to speak with you seems like a great way to compromise patient care. We're a team here. Can you imagine if they did that...

    blondy2061h replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    What's considered a full assignment on your unit? Typically on my unit 3 patients was a full assignment, so at first you would shadow or work hand in hand with your preceptor exclusively, then you...

    blondy2061h replied to Ethio22's topic in General Nursing

    This one was too bad not to respond to! The closest I've seen to this happening in real life is a home glucose meter with calculator style numbers being briefly looked at upside down by a school nurse...
