    Visible tattoos appropriate for RN's?

    Mavrick replied to jayne12's topic in General Students

    Let's start with: I have a tattoo on my forearm. It's stupid (references drugs and motorcycles) but not large or offensive. I get asked about it occasionally and am again reminded of how stupid it...

    Fairness

    Mavrick replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't heard from OP since post #7. Guess this isn't her kind of crowd. Another poop and run. Didn't want to hear it's not about nursing inflexibility, it's her unreasonable demands. Speaking of...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    Mavrick replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    "Others are advising me to keep my head down and graduate in 3 months." It's easy to advise, with righteous indignation, make a big stink, go to the Dean of Nursing, Hell go to the Dean of the...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    Mavrick replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    Well, you weren't there now were you? Could very well be a case of the instructor simply tossing a student's phone a short distance back to her. Student caught it. No way of knowing how much damage...

    Intake and Output

    Mavrick replied to dreamerachiever's topic in General Students

    This would be true if the nurse programmed an IV pump capable of of infusing a 50ml IVPB secondary in 30 minutes. Not all places do that. It can be given in addition to the maintenance. Yet another...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    Mavrick replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    My response was to the question regarding targeting. If the OP wants to pursue this as an assault then by all means be a shoot-disturber and light up the target on your back in neon magenta. However,...

    Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Mavrick replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I take all of klone's posts seriously but I did think the asking for a "friend" was pulling our collective legs. Guess not. Anyway, to add to the wealth of experience with work/poop encounters that...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    Mavrick replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    I cannot improve on this advice. Just gave everyone a chance to read it again. You are right, she was wrong to throw your property at you. But don't be "dead right". There used to be this traffic...

    Mavrick replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    So now I know where the little snowflakes come from: Momma Snowflake. If you have a written agreement with your employer, quit crabbing about it here and make the effort to have your union or lawyer...

    Dose BON check school records ?

    Mavrick replied to Jasminex's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't even want to know WHY you were in prison. All the little tasks you did or read about do not make you a nurse. The profession of Nursing does not need people like you to dilute our integrity....

    IV Bolus

    Not a bolus rate for any normal adult. Is this a typo? 1000ml/hr would be more like

    Cost Of School

    Mavrick replied to doodlegirl2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used to work at a hospital that had a CRNA school and got to interact with SRNA's frequently. Many would say they had to take out loans not only for school but living expenses as well since they...

    My insecurities as a student..

    Mavrick replied to Auguste25's topic in General Students

    You are SO NORMAL. And that's OK. You will experience all of that (forget, stupid response, look like an idiot etc. etc. etc.) in your first few outings with patients. After all that though you can...

    Quitting during orientation

    Your financial commitment is written in the contract you signed one would think. No contract, no problem. Cut your misery and their losses. Consciously analyze your situation, learn how you might...

    IV Bolus

    Mavrick replied to mariok's topic in General Nursing

    You MUST have a volume with this order. Technically you should also have the rate also ordered such as 1 liter over an hour and you can calculate the rate. A lot of times though the rate is situation...

    Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    Mavrick replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    There is a difference between nurse and Nurse and your BON will be happy to explain it. I can forgive the lay public and stupid FOX "news" but nurses in the profession should be more accurate. It's...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    Mavrick replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Have no clue about others but mine tends to run twice as many "likes" as comments. My simpleton mind thought the original question was way too obvious. You like what you like ....... But now I have...

    What to do-BSN or job first?

    Mavrick replied to meginnurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    OP, your user name suggests you're a nurse. Your post indicates you have just started an ADN program. Per TOS you cannot use nurse in your user name if you are not a

    I hate nursing!!

    Mavrick replied to Mistb13's topic in Nursing Career

    If this is true for you, we're done here. What the real problem is: Your expectations do not match your reality. You may have had the expectation that nursing is like what is portrayed on TV or what...

    Birds of a feather

    This is fully your choice, so based on that, you are not trying to become anything other than a Psych Nurse surrounded by Psych Patients and other Psych Nurses. My guess is you will succeed. You have...
