  1. Pregnancy considerations?

    BroadwayRN replied to marinewifey's topic in General Nursing

    Ask your OB and in the meantime make sure your instructor and charge nurse knows that you are newly pregnant. They should keep you away from any patient that is on isolation and/or a total care...

  2. Nurse/Patient Ratios

    BroadwayRN replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ER and we go more by the acuity of the patients than purely by the numbers. I know on the floor on days they have 5 or 6 patients each. It's strange how some nurses end up with all easy...

  3. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    BroadwayRN replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    I would think legally you can do whatever you want in regards to stripping and being a nurse but are your needs for extra money so great that you feel you need to strip? I think you'd be served far...

  4. Yes, I work full time!

    BroadwayRN replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not married so personally I don't have any experience but my co-worker gets that occasionally and she tells them that she went to school to be a nurse and that she plans to make good use of her...

  5. Tattoo/employability question

    BroadwayRN replied to smirkingvag's topic in General Students

    Having tattooes has nothing to do with being a good nurse but it does having everything to do with having a professional appearance. Fair or not that is reality. You've made the choice to have a...

  6. How to deal with nasty LPNs.

    BroadwayRN replied to arabella205's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your concern and would follow through with those actions. I would also change the title of this thread to 'how to deal with a nasty co-worker' I don't see nastiness as LPN, CNA or RN...

  7. Please help interpret this order

    BroadwayRN replied to mlee9985's topic in General Nursing

    I don't read members profiles before I reply to a post, so that's kinda unfair to expect the poster to know this person is a pre-nursing student. She was asking as though she had an order she didn't...

  8. Waiting for the Results of a Drug Test. I'm Freaking Out!

    BroadwayRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    I truly don't think you have anything to worry about except hanging around with those friends while they're using. The employer would have the results within a day or two and wouldn't contact you...

  9. The pharmacy dispensed my mom a med she is allergic to.

    BroadwayRN replied to nrsang97's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that this happened to your Mom. The doctor and the pharmacy both made a mistake. I'm supposing that because it was an eye gtt they didn't give enough attention to it being an RX that someone...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you AirforceRN for being polite. I don't have any children, I do have brothers and a boyfriend. But none the less, I have my personal opinion and if I am blessed with children and with a boy I...

  11. fellow nurse, small error...what to do?

    BroadwayRN replied to BigMar's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Me too! But you do mean a subdermal TB skin

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So are we not to vaccinate our children because they have the RIGHT to decide what happens with THEIR bodies? I see that as no different. I have seen tragic things happen as a result of children being...

  13. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Excellent Posts RN/Writer! I agree it should be a private family decision whatever they decide. This line of logic is incredibly silly and could be used to justify...damn near anything. Sorry...

  14. Blurred Boundaries: Should we eliminate the distinction between RNs and LPNs?

    BroadwayRN replied to ilovechadkrause's topic in LPN to RN

    I think that will never happen. Firstly it wouldn't be fair to the RN's who earned their degree. Secondly it doesnt matter how much experience an LPN has, if you haven't taken the RN courses you...

  15. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where are the guys? I think they should weigh in on this issue. They are after all the ones whose opinions count. Phimosis may be uncommon but if you're the one with it then it automatically becomes a...

  16. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had my ears pierced x 2 and I wasn't in the least traumatized, perhaps that is an individual reaction. I have never heard a guy say he was traumatized by being circumsized. Seriously, have you?...

  17. The Circumcision Discussion

    BroadwayRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think circumcision is a good thing. Sure it's painful but within minutes the baby is quiet again. They cry the first few times they pee but again within minutes the baby is quiet again. I don't...

  18. what would you do??

    BroadwayRN replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    We have to calibrate our glucometers at the beginning of each shift. If we think one of them is questionable we draw a BG and have it run stat by the lab. If it's equal with the glucometer, cool. If...

  19. fellow nurse, small error...what to do?

    BroadwayRN replied to BigMar's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Granted the deltoid area is a not the first choice or a place I think of for a SQ, I always go to the underside of the upper arm with a SQ, unless it's ordered abdominal, etc. If the patient is large...

  20. To Tell or Not to Tell

    BroadwayRN replied to Novice1's topic in General Nursing

    If they ask why the gap, tell them the truth, there's nothing what-so-ever unusual in failing the first attempt don't let it make you so nervous. You have a license that's all that is

  21. Looking for nurses willing to share their experiences..

    BroadwayRN replied to Jaisene's topic in General Nursing

    Done!

  22. cutbacks at work due to economy

    BroadwayRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    We are not getting a merit raise this year, supposedly management isn't either, but they also said corporate wasn't getting any merit raises but according to the newspaper they did receive "hefty...

  23. Nurse Interview....Can you please take it Nurses

    BroadwayRN replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Nurse Interview 1. How long have you been a nurse? 4 years 2. From which kind of educational program did you graduate? LPN, ADN, Diploma, or BSN How long ago did you graduate? ADN 4 years ago 3. Have...

  24. Someone told me something that upset me today.

    BroadwayRN replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    It's never ok to not follow policy. It would be better to keep your opinion to yourself and not say anything to anyone and knowing about it and not saying anything literally makes you an accessory....

  25. Vent: Husband lost job today with no warning

    BroadwayRN replied to Melinurse's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this is happening all over our great country. I think things are going to get worse before they get better. We can all be thankful that we are nurses and can always get a job. Maybe not...
