    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to Fentanyl_CA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello, I attended Loma Linda's RN-BSN program. I loved my experience. I can honestly say that my time there was life-changing. For one, I am becoming more and more vegetarian since I attended. I am...

  7. Letting very young children see a dying patient

    Cuddleswithpuddles posted a topic in Critical Care

    Hello all, I wanted to get some input on letting young children into your critical care units to see their dying moms or dads, especially if the children are at an age when they would normally not be...

  8. Highs and Lows ICU style

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to FarminRN's topic in Critical Care

    calivianya hit on a very, very good point. ICU is where I see the most futile care and the most narrow-minded statements about the patients' conditions. Every day someone makes a breezy, happy...

  9. My friend is still looking for work

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Do you notice you are not as eager to talk about a great day at work or your latest success? I had a friend like this. I have had so many wonderful things go on in my life in the past two years...

  10. New Intern

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to flashamine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also, please listen when a nurse who deals with a lot of end-of-life issues tells you that a patient may benefit from stopping medical treatment and going into hospice. Everyone makes incorrect calls...

  11. New Intern

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to flashamine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This, in of itself, is a heartwarming post and thread. Thank you for the taking the time to seek advice! In addition to all that has been said above, please take heed when a nurse says something...

  13. Highs and Lows ICU style

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to FarminRN's topic in Critical Care

    I fit the bill. End of July will mark my first year in ICU, and I have worked in step-down, home health, postpartum, newborn nursery and floated to a bunch of other units. What do you mean by highs...

  14. Open up....Spoonfed report

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try this one. I really, really, really love this. I want you to see it and bask in its

  15. asn-bsn-medical school

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to nstillwaggon's topic in Men in Nursing

    Perhaps I did myself a disservice by saying I am "plugging away" at a BSN. I can assure you that every step I take in my work and school life is a reward in of itself. Nothing will go to waste even if...

  16. Issues facing healthcare

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to rose89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are plenty, plenty of individual issues discussed at length in AllNurses. For example, the Nursing Issues in Patient Safety is an entire board dedicated to concerns of practicing and...

  17. Orientation over... Now what?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Very, very, very odd. You were not scheduled for any shifts? Is there another person in the unit who handles

  18. Open up....Spoonfed report

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since you have to deal with this nurse, here's something to cheer you

  19. What kind of a job did you have while in nursing school?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Nursing

    I had two jobs during my LVN program. I was an assistant at a real estate appraisal company and a tutor. I worked 20-some hours a week. I was a LVN during my LVN-ADN program. I worked 36 hours. I am...

  20. Open up....Spoonfed report

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am just curious. How does this nurse give report? Is she at least as thorough and detailed as she expects others to

  21. Help Me! with changes in condition to report to M.D?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to mariatarelo23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you are getting a little too ahead of yourself :) You just started school. Your fundamentals textbook sounds more like a compilation of skills. Later on in your studies, you will learn normal...

  22. Advice for Grad, Jobs: Fact or Fiction

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    I should I say I never personally agreed with the rationale behind med/surg being the one unit every new grad needs to be in first. As for ICU nurses having all the skill sets one could learn in...

  23. Best place to sell textbooks?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    In my experience, selling your textbooks to the oncoming batch of nursing students is your best bet. You do not have to deal with shipping, and students may be willing to pay a little more for the...

  25. asn-bsn-medical school

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to nstillwaggon's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yup. Most bachelor's degrees do not include all of the science classes required to take the MCAT and apply to medical school. I have chosen to keep on plugging away at a BSN anyway. In case I do not...
