  2. I need your input on a potentially life-altering decision...

    Lucky0220 replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

    for example, some folks seem to think all crnas are rich and are living the life, but many don't consider the liability, stress factor, on-call nights, weekends and holidays that go into that...

  3. I need your input on a potentially life-altering decision...

    Lucky0220 replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

    Considering the fact that you are still a student, (we all did clinicals in all the areas you list in your profile!), to call the OP's post "ridiculous" shows a bit of immaturity. She is just asking...

  4. Is There Hope for Me? (Warning....a bit long)

    Lucky0220 replied to jfosterrn's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem when I started out. It was also in the ICU and it was brutal. I'm quite outspoken and it has not done me well in certain circumstances, but I am learning. I keep telling...

  5. First Narc write up... can management do this to me?

    Lucky0220 replied to nnestle's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi nnestle. When you went to get out the drug and it had to be over-ridden, did that not trigger your memory that pharmacy had not gotten the order. Ususally it just takes a few minutes for pharm to...

  6. Am I being snotty?

    Lucky0220 replied to JezzysRN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that might be because you can be called a "nurse", regardless of whether you have your LVN, your ADN, or your BSN. MSN's typically have another title. At least that is how it seems to me....

  7. San Antonio Xtians Hospitals

    Lucky0220 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Texas Nursing

    I work for a Christus facility, though not in San Antonio, and like the above poster said, it is exactly the same as any other hospital. I was not raised Christian, and would even say that I am not...

  8. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

    Lucky0220 replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering why this poster even asked a question like this? Maybe nothing better to do?? Who in their right mind would honestly answer "yes"? At least when some posters put a rhetorical question...

  9. Using Ampules w/o filter needles

    Lucky0220 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    The first time I had to use an ampule, I went to look for a filter needle. We did not have any. As I asked a few of the nurses who had been on that floor for a while, they stated that they just don't...

  10. Relocating for a job

    Lucky0220 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    I just relocated to Corpus Christi for a job. I really love it here. I am originally from NYC, but had lived in Dallas for a while. Moved back east to be near my family and go to nursing school....

  11. Questions about shift differentials

    Lucky0220 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Texas and we get 15% from 7p to 11p and then 25% from 11p to 7a. We also get $2.50/hr diff for the weekends. Borta, where are you that your diff is so

  13. Much Older People Going Into Nursing

    Lucky0220 replied to MissMaryMack12's topic in General Students

    You wouldn't, by any chance, be related to, or best buddies with that "cutiepie nurse" who wants to go into nursing to marry a doctor?? Seems like the same similar "off the wall" point of view! But,...

  14. Do I apologize to the doctor??

    Lucky0220 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I found out from someone on my unit that I offended a doctor by joking with him about his "short" visit with the pt. This is a doctor that I have spoken with before and it seemed to me that he had a...

  15. Share Your "Brain" Sheet

    Lucky0220 replied to nurseJ88's topic in Cardiac

    Here is one that I use on MedSurg with 5-6 pts. I got it from someone on this website and then modified it. I put the pt stickers in the upper left area so I have access to their admit date, DOB,...

  16. Got a minute? I could use some advice, please.

    Lucky0220 replied to skyjunky's topic in General Nursing

    If this has been your only infraction at this place of employment, I think it was a bit harsh to just fire you on the spot. True, it obviously was a HIPAA violation, but in reality, HIPAA violations...

    What about " News From La La Land" ? Did you mean

  19. Valley Regional Med Center-Anyone know recent info?

    Lucky0220 replied to indylpn08's topic in Texas Nursing

    Have you checked out Christus Spohn Region in the Corpus Christi area? I know for a fact that they are hiring new grads and Corpus is really nice. I lived in Dallas for many years and always heard...

  20. I'm freaking out here.. I could fail clinical and i dont know why!

    Lucky0220 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Is this poor excuse for a teacher, your theory instructor as well as your clinical instructor? I was not clear on that. If she is, then how can she fail those students who support you if they have...

  21. Hi, are you the doctor?

    Lucky0220 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I had a male nursing instructor in school who also worked in the ED at one of the local hospitals. He told us that he was asked "are you my doctor?" all the time. His pat answer was "please don't...

  22. Obsess with Nursing

    EXACTLY MY POINT!!! Of all things to "drive someone crazy",

  24. Frustrated

    Lucky0220 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I really did not want to feed in to your anger. I just wanted to give you some advice, maybe a bit bluntly, but nontheless, realistic, about not stressing so much over all the little pain in the ass...

  25. Do I apologize to the doctor??

    Lucky0220 replied to Lucky0220's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks guys for the recent support, but my op is over 9 months old! This doc and I are such good buddies now, it's almost ridiculous. An apology is always worth it when it's sincere. Good things...
