  3. is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    nursing6207 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school I was told the same thing. They are kinda up tight in nursing school. I do it now when I'm trying to comfort the patient. I think it's fine if they are ok with it

  4. School advice

    nursing6207 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I eventually want to go back to school for my masters degree. I need to take statistics to apply bc it was not required in my undergrad. I took a basic math in college and have not had any math...

  5. Nurses-How to be a blessing as a CNA?

    nursing6207 replied to Bbo.W's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with FelineRN, a lot of times CNA's think we are sitting around doing nothing but in reality, we are required to do soooo much charting and paperwork. We have a lot of great CNA's on our...

  6. Nursing Priority vs First nursing action

    nursing6207 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't apply oxygen, then they suffer air hunger while you're waiting for the lasix to kick in. That could result in other serious complications.

  7. I Wish I Could Get Away with It...

    nursing6207 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Well it kinda is since she walked in on it while trying to do her job, right? I think it could go either way. Either the sister was reading the questions to her and she was looking it up and giving...

  8. CBIs

    nursing6207 replied to divaRN*'s topic in General Nursing

    Ours are 2L. Thankfully we don't get them that much on our floor. We run then as fast as needed to clear the clots. Isn't that what it's

  9. I notified the wrong family of a death

    nursing6207 replied to kcmRN's topic in General Nursing

    You learned from the mistake and I'm sure others have too. Unfortunately in our profession mistakes happen. Learn from it and move on. It will make you a stronger nurse

  11. Are YOU terrified to be a patient (and your loved ones, too!)

    nursing6207 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We were just talking about this the other night at work. We said nurses can be the worse patients because we know what happens . If I'm ever hospitalized I will probably never try to use my call bell...

  12. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    nursing6207 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    My dad smoked in the home as I was growing up. I had mild asthma and he would tell me it wasn't because he smoked. I would open the window in my room to air it out and get introuble when he found out...

    nursing6207 replied to TripperJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have a great plan. NCLEX has probably changed a lot since the last time you took it, which will hopefully work to your full advantage. I studied Kaplan and...

  14. Just a thought

    nursing6207 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for almost 3 years. I work on a very busy medical floor. Is it normal to feel like due to liability that your job and license is always on the line? I constantly feel like I need...

  15. Prove my Mom wrong, please

    nursing6207 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I've never personally done it. I do know the accelerated programs are very fast pace. I do think it could be done with no complications of pregnancy, however I think it would be very hard and...

  16. Check Hb post-transfusion?

    nursing6207 replied to talaxandra's topic in General Nursing

    Brings up a debate at my hospital. Lab techs absolutely REFUSE to draw blood for anything while a pt is receiving a blood transfusion. I've had a MD's order for now troponins, or a scheduled troponin...

    nursing6207 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. Difficulty Aspirating NG Tube

    nursing6207 replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say advance the tube a little further. I have had just air return before and as soon as I pushed it a little further down I got green gastric content. I would document verification by auscultation...

  21. Medication incident reports

    nursing6207 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    Off the subject. I have had demented and oriented pts take about half the cup of meds and hand it back to me and tell me they can't take anymore right now. At that point I have absolutely no idea what...

  22. Body Bags

    nursing6207 replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a nursing assistant we left the body in the room until the funeral home came to get them. I guess if it was going to be a while before they got there then they'd have to go to the morgue. I...

    nursing6207 replied to 80/20's topic in General Nursing

  24. Should I go back to school

    nursing6207 replied to Ennis08's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if you have the time you could look into job shadowing at one of your local hospitals. That way you can get a closer look at what it's like and see if you think it's a match for you. I am sorry...
