  1. Not sure what medical job i should get while waiting for RN

    NickB replied to Superus's topic in General Nursing

    wow! and you want to be a nurse? let me guess, your becoming a nurse because you want to be a crna? you should probably reassess if you want to be a nurse or not. cna would be the best...

  2. Best beach city on the East coast????

    NickB replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wilmington, NC New Smyrna Beach, FL Melbourne Beach,

  3. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    NickB replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    Not very reasonable at all. That is a crazy amount of student loans for an RN. Your RN is no different than mine, which was acquired through 4 semesters of school at a community college paying no...

  4. Increasing maternal death rates - news story

    NickB replied to TXcatcher's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can't agree with this more. I was quite suprised when I read this

  5. intravenous drug administration

    NickB replied to PeteC's topic in General Nursing

    It was actually a saline lock and her actions were "Flush, Push, Flush" all in about 10 seconds. 5ml flush, 10ml of med, and 5 ml flush. No cleaning of the port prior to flush either. I think the...

  6. intravenous drug administration

    NickB replied to PeteC's topic in General Nursing

    Stress the importance of looking up and following the recommended time to administer an IV Push drug. A nurse pushed an IV med recommended to administer over 2 min. in about 2 sec. last night as the...

  7. IV piggyback

    NickB replied to buttons4's topic in General Nursing

    It's probably ordered as IVPB just in case there is a primary infusing. This way, whether there is a primary infusing or not, the pt will still get the meds. Just remember to flush before and after...

  8. Not cut out to be a nurse

    NickB replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse that actually cares about his/her patients will be a far better nurse than one who is stone cold and shows no emotion. You're showing compassion and concern and it is genuine. That is the...

  9. Factory worker one day ... nurse the next?

    NickB replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can compare 2 years of nursing school to 4 years of med school and 3 years of residency. We know a lot, but let's be real here. As far as Nursing schools go, there is definitely a...

  10. how do you deal with difficult physician/surgeons

    NickB replied to meriposa's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That was

  11. First Bump on a Bumpy Road

    NickB posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, I was taking an EKG class yesterday and the instructor was a female paramedic/nurse of about 25years. On one of our breaks, we were all discussing the areas that we want to specialize in and I...

  12. First Bump on a Bumpy Road

    NickB replied to NickB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not concerned about it. I'm going to do it no matter what anyone thinks. It was kind of comical to me. I have told this to many people and this is the first of this type of response I have...

  13. What do patients say that irks you?

    NickB replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Alright Scrooge. I think the OP is just trying to have a little

  14. What to expect at my visit to pain management .

    NickB replied to dcampbell's topic in Pain Management

    I just read your post and noticed that no one responded and it seems that you wrote it in August. I hope everything has worked out for you and that your pain is getting better. I think if you would...

  15. What Would You Do If You Were In My Shoes?

    NickB replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Start selling everything that you think you can get by without and I mean everything. (Be honest about this decision as most of us don't need nearly as much as we think we do.) Find an apartment or...

  16. RN Student Challenge LPN Boards

    NickB replied to NickB's topic in General Students

    So, I asked someone from my school's nursing program and she said that Florida does not allow this anymore. So, now I'm going to try to find a state that does allow this, maybe test there, and then...

  17. RN Student Challenge LPN Boards

    NickB posted a topic in General Students

    I have been searching all over this website as well as all over Google and I can't find a definitive answer. I have read that it is possible for an RN student to challenge the LPN boards, but all of...

  18. RN Student Challenge LPN Boards

    NickB replied to NickB's topic in General Students

    I called them already but I am getting conflicting answers. That's why I'm trying to find out if anyone has actually done

  19. RN Student Challenge LPN Boards

    NickB replied to NickB's topic in General Students

    Let me also add that I am in Florida. I typed this really late last night and forgot that oh so important detail. I will talk to someone at school today and post what they

  20. Failed nursing student

    NickB replied to bobokoama's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.... I didn't realize that there was a justification for screaming at a teacher. I guess it's because it was the teacher's fault that she failed. Not her's. Got it. Actually, the teacher didn't...

  21. Failed nursing student

    NickB replied to bobokoama's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, didn't read down far enough. I see you are in Texas. I asked my previous question because there was a girl in our program who blew up on her teacher in front of an entire computer lab full of...

    Sounds to me that you should be a Pediatric

  25. Was fired today......

    NickB replied to TrickieTam's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You probably would've told this job "no thank you" if you were still employed at that other place. See, the big man knows what he's
