  1. Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    blondy2061h replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your test experience reads to me like an experience someone with no nursing school experience at all would have trying to demonstrate those skills flying by the seat of their pants. Did you go to...

  2. Garbage Report

    blondy2061h replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I've both given and received horrible reports. The worst report I ever gave was- none. I forgot I had the patient. I worked on a unit where charge normally didn't have an assignment. I picked up a...

  4. Using PTO to work part time

    blondy2061h replied to chipper_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We get less pay than most hospitals in our area but great benefits, including very generous time off. The problem is you can only use PTO if staffing allows, or on your pre-approved annual vacation...

    blondy2061h replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  7. My DON accused me of patient abandonment during a snowstorm

    blondy2061h replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    Reading this I'm so angry for you. Usually in the "I'm fired and I don't understand why" posts, the poster clearly did something wrong. Not in this case. You've be handed an

  8. My client's Christian parents figure out that I'm Christian

    blondy2061h replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you care if they know you're a Christian? Especially if they're Christian too? Many Christians are proud when people can identify them by their actions and not their

  9. Lack of Sleep

    blondy2061h replied to Melissaxoanne1's topic in General Nursing

    I would advise against benadryl. I used to use it until learning from a pharmacist at work how badly it effects your sleep cycle. We don't use it for patients any more and I won't use it for myself....

    blondy2061h replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I've read back through your previous posts as well. Anxiety seems to be a recurring theme for you. You need to get that under control before you'll be successful anywhere. Are you working with a...

    blondy2061h replied to Mmonroe1's topic in General Nursing

    She's not talking about putting cathflo in the line with the milronone running in it. She said that one is patent. She's asking about the other lumens, which would be treated as separate lines. She's...

    blondy2061h replied to Mmonroe1's topic in General Nursing

  23. Prescription PO/Subcut

    blondy2061h replied to Sjade's topic in General Nursing

    Are you seeing it mostly with Zofran or other meds too? Zofran dosing is the same regardless of route- usually 4 or 8mg. I'm guessing the reasoning here is that the palliative patients don't have IV...
