    I desperately need some advice

    netglow replied to Sensibility's topic in Nursing Career

    The problem is that you are working with a bunch of children as co-workers. Holding. How silly that it causes that much trouble on your unit. So the kid was a wiggler, a tough stick. Happens! But it...

    Uncomfortable with Batrim order transcription.

    netglow replied to AraJZgam's topic in General Nursing

    Well, then what you do is call the MD for clarification. Don't bother with people who don't want to help - that always is the longest way around the

    Dilaudid anyone?

    netglow replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, OP. I'd be sure there was an investigation. Write the situation up, who what where... I feel that the way pharm had so deftly turned "the blame" onto you is highly suspicious. You may have...

    The Old Problem of Systolic Blood Pressure

    netglow replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I don't palp pulse You note the first sound. If that sound is rapid/faint and immediate and then gets more audible, that is your signal to let out your pressure, wait a few minutes and do it again...

    netglow replied to Lifeofanurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Well all I have to say, these days sometimes it seems that if you get called on an interview, it might surely mean the place is a total mess. That's all that's hiring :) I remember once driving 45mi...

    All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Oh come on. What is this not believing stuff. Sheesh. Lets not go all crazy now. If I have unexplained abdominal pain, I'm probably not going to the Take Care Clinic or the Minute Clinic. Heck we are...

    All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you also think that lots of these direct entry people really believe, like any normal person would, that, they will be taught everything they need to know? I mean, enough to function on the...

    All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think Tait really has a great point. So does Ruby and all those who talk of the direct entry programs. This is a very dangerous time. If nursing was at all what it had been at least for a while -...

    netglow replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya OP, and totally agree. I think those that post saying that they "don't care about money" are just too FOS for me. Y'all be sure to turn down, or even quit if you get a raise now won't ya?...

    netglow replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing
