    blondy2061h replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Evidence shows that if I wear white I have at least a 50% chance of spilling on myself before the START of my

  2. Did you contract anything from a patient?

    blondy2061h replied to RNrhythm's topic in General Nursing

    I got norovirus in clinicals in college. I ended up in the hospital for several days (type 1 diabetes). My professor told me no way I got it at clinicals even though two of my patients two days before...

  3. Forced Resignation

    blondy2061h replied to scooterscamp123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so confused by all of this, but probably just because my hospital works vastly different. So you do your vacation bidding for the upcoming year in October? And you requested the 3 weeks of you...

  4. Lack of "customer service" as beneficial factor for chronic disease process?

    blondy2061h replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised people in Michigan are Patriots

  5. Bored on weekdays!

    blondy2061h replied to cblue152's topic in General Nursing

    Man, this is a hard scenario for me to imagine. I value my alone time and wish I had more of it. I would think you could volunteer at your kids school, meet up with your husband or friends on their...

  6. Can Pain Be Prevented?

    blondy2061h replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in General Nursing

    It makes sense. When I have a migraine or muscle aches one of the first things I try is chugging

    I'm so sorry to read this! I loved reading her posts and contributions to AN. Keeping her and her family in my thoughts and

    blondy2061h replied to Hnurse101's topic in General Nursing

    We're off topic now. But we're very unoriginal and call them

  9. I Think I my CPR Instructor Didn't Know What She Was Talking About

    blondy2061h replied to darobow's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you working as a CNA? You should be going to medical school. Or nursing school. You clearly have higher aspirations than what you're

  10. I Think I my CPR Instructor Didn't Know What She Was Talking About

    blondy2061h replied to darobow's topic in General Nursing

    You should probably learn to do crics then, too, as long as we're not ruling out

  11. I Think I my CPR Instructor Didn't Know What She Was Talking About

    blondy2061h replied to darobow's topic in General Nursing

    When you're doing cpr you need to allow full recoil. This means pushing the sternum in and waiting for it to return to its original position. This allows the heart to refill with blood that you can...

  12. Ambulating post op day zero

    blondy2061h replied to oceangirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    We have one urology surgeon who comes and walks his patients

  13. Ambulating post op day zero

    blondy2061h replied to oceangirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    Our thoracic surgeons are huge advocates of early ambulation. Those patients get woken up in the middle of the night to ambulate the night of their surgery. Seems cruel but low complication rates and...

  14. Portacaths access

    blondy2061h replied to Lemon-aide's topic in General Nursing

    Our patients sometimes get them placed the morning they start

  15. Company removed all chairs

    blondy2061h replied to Hnurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Chart standing up. Don't sit for 8+ hours straight. Get plantar fasciitis. Go out on comp. Milk it for all it's worth. Quit as soon as you're cleared to come

    blondy2061h replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. In NYS paper scripts aren't used any

  17. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    blondy2061h replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    Where do you live that providers can't write scripts from home?

  18. Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    blondy2061h replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    I'm guessing her family or friends called her a nurse and no one in the "news" outlets verified it. I would strongly recommend against reading the

  19. Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    blondy2061h replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to like posts that are well written or share similar opinions to mine. I would say I'm fairly discerning with my "likes." I do find myself "liking" the same users frequently. I wish more...

  20. Do you buy medical equipment for home use?

    blondy2061h replied to der_kerl's topic in General Nursing

  21. Do you buy medical equipment for home use?

    blondy2061h replied to der_kerl's topic in General Nursing

    I have all kinds of medical equipment at home- bipap machine, O2 concentrator, insulin pump, glucometer, nebulizers, continuous glucose monitor, tens unit. Of course- this is all stuff prescribed for...

  22. Student Nurse Needle Stick Scare

    blondy2061h replied to fortunato's topic in General Nursing

    Low transmission rates and you're already on PEP. You have nothing to worry

  23. Nurse looked at my Facebook-HIPAA violation ?

    blondy2061h replied to PlainB's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't really think a formal complaint is justified. Fb very much lets you control privacy settings and clearly this person left theirs to public. That means it's open on the internet to see. It's...

  24. Why are they called, "Chucks?"

    blondy2061h replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    We have a blue version of them. Those are for real light duty. I would never trust them under a patient. I use the blue ones for keeping an area dry if I'm irrigating a wound or pushing meds in a PEG...

  25. Nurse looked at my Facebook-HIPAA violation ?

    blondy2061h replied to PlainB's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No. Unprofessional but not HIPAA. A HIPAA violation would be if a nurse disclosed something they knew about your medical history to some body who didn't need to know it to provide medical care to you....
