Speculating

Has dawned on you yet that someone higher up in the hospital was looking at your labs (that probable had no legal right too) in order to come across the fact that you had accessed them?

It depends is it your fault or an exceptionally hard instructor. If you going to take the same instructor, then by all means finish the class. This way you will know exactly what to expect next time around. You normally get 2-3x max. to get a passing...

Don't let anyone make you feel bad. When was the last time they gave you two weeks notice before they let you go! Just come up with a good excuse and be able to fire it off when the necessary time arises! Dave

Hey, Congratulations Thumper! I've always been a super lucky guy getting jobs. Once I get into the door for an interview I end up always getting the job - knock on wood. Just a suggestion, but if you happen to have his E-mail address I would definite...

Did they tell you if they were or had included administration, secretarial, dietary, custodial, lab and x-ray...in the 12:1 ratio's? I'm thinking from time to time if nursing isn't paying attention they get included in the ratios!

Frankly you have every right to feel Frantic. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and scared right now just reading the post! It won't take much of anything to throw a wrench into everything. Hi... I have a question. How do other small facilities ie les...

Spend some real-time figuring this one out for you. Where I hail from it would be a serious waste of time almost two years worth. RN's can CLEP out of EMT-P, but EMT-P's can't CLEP RN School. And, even RN's can't CLEP basic EMT

If that's what you want kid go get it. Look in Sunday's paper find a nice reputable hospital advertising jobs for new grad internship programs. Good luck!

Pickle RELAX my god it's not meant to be taken completely seriously. First of all you never say anything that can be over heard. If so it's your word over his - you can't be fired for that. Hahahaha, "Be the better person", hahahahaha - oh please. P...

Size doesn't have a lot to do with it, but you do have to stand up for yourself. Let him know if he drops dead in front of you that you'll have to walk away since he thinks your to small to do chest compression, and even if you start CPR you'll have ...

Do you realize this is a board assessable around the world. You really need to narrow things down to maybe a zip code. :balloons:

Please, quit telling Pam to do a 1:1 :argue: . It obviously hasn't worked in the past - he'll eat her alive if she tries :smiley_ab. How big is your ER? You take all your staff from a couple of shifts surround him and have a 12:1 :deadhorse. HE'LL L...

You have 1700 posts and your not a nurse yet. Looks like you need to be studying - Internal --->Right Atruim.

That's because we don't have a need to check on the dx cause we're always right. Besides I would hate to have to make you stop and answer the phone you know in between the call lights, filling up water pitchers, passing trays, picking up trays, chang...

Wait a minute you don't know what a GI cocktail because your a floor nurse trying to puff your chest and talk ER to me. That's why your rambling it's okay ;-) :balloons:

One day they save your ***.

No, what I will do is give them a GI cocktail if there's good HX then they go home if they better with OTC pepcid.

That's not completely true as long as you can pass them no real damage done. The only real problem with stones is if a blockage occurs. If your ureter completely blocks and urine backs up into your kidney that's where the damage comes from. Secondly ...

Tweety your up aweful early you must just be hitting the pillow good nite man. A PCT is generally a step below a CNA. Then comes the 2 which is special powers given by whom ever. Any of these folks once taught how are perfectly capable and within the...

Cat Fight I'm not going to get into a big stink over this I'm putting 2 in and out of here. The symptoms couldn't be to awefully vague to warrant foley's, angio's , D-dimers...The described vague symptoms presented in the ED would be lucky to get a...

You sound a little apprehensive don't your doing a good job of educating yourself. Your picking good stuff you made us all think, and I applaude you for hitting the internet up.

Here's where I can insert my first rule of nursing self taught today only I'm going to give it to you for free. Being a CNA for years before I became an RN has given me the upmost respect for that position. I treat my support like angels and are just...

I've gathered quite a stash of Dermabond through the years I plan on glueing them all together keeps them in one place. I thought I had a deal now I'm thinking maybe you can hook me up?

You can't expect the suits to think for themselves we must band together as nurses and provide them with loud shiny objects to muse themselves so that we can better provide them bonus' and incentive packages. Last year I received a $6000.00 sign on b...
