    How do you induce passing gas post-op?

    netglow replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same possibility Canes. So if also no true BM but yes to some liquid fecal you very well might be at that point - with distention and sharp pain on palp (not good) would mean must...

    netglow replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    12 days?! Sheesh. Distension? Tympany/pain on palp? Bowel

    Nurse Bloggers?

    netglow replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. Lots of time invested. I've been out there in med blog land as a "party-goer" for years but never have wanted to have the party at my house (yet). Been told to "get a blog" but still...

    volunteer @ hospital

    netglow replied to RI Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you to stick to what you want too. LTC in my area remains full and picky as you know too many nurses looking for work. Some who really don't understand the situation will keep harping on the...

    Need some perspective on an interview I had

    netglow replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Who knows what she was thinking. I've met some wacky folks in nursing interviews. She might have been thinking out loud - pros/cons. Yours is to just send the thank you note and follow up call. Move...

    How should I decline a job offer ?

    netglow replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah this is tricky. It's the weekend and I take it you were to start on Monday? This probably won't go smoothly as they probably thought any sched adj would be minor - your change means you cannot...

    waiting.......

    netglow replied to newgrad9's topic in Emergency

    If you don't get the job it likely is not any fault of yours. It's that somebody has favors to return and you were never in the running to begin with. I am seeing this scenario for most ngs I know who...

    Is it out of the norm to apply to multiple hospitals?

    netglow replied to Nevran's topic in General Nursing

    Sure give advice if you really have any to give. But when you are also interviewing for the same jobs potentially (unless it doesn't matter to you if you work or not) you just are giving away your...

    Is it out of the norm to apply to multiple hospitals?

    netglow replied to Nevran's topic in General Nursing

    Ha. I know many nursing students who were so sure that they were going to transition from a CNA position once licensed. Guess what? Most did not. Best if you and your fellow classmates just float...

    Doctor as a patient

    netglow replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting thread. I agree about the family of a doc being often at issue. Mom of a Doc, was in a room with my mom post op. What a huge PITA, but, you could tell her son and DIL (both docs) were...

    netglow replied to 1996RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what others have offered. I think all nurses should consider non bedside as much as bedside. Just with so many networks in my area at least, going through major merger/takeovers, that...

    How long to stay at a job you don't like?

    netglow replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are used to the obtuse positive stuff. Say, you missed the hands on patient care and found that you just dont feel like you were doing what you were meant to be doing as a nurse not being...

    Advice on answering why I want away from bedside nursing

    netglow replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Good ideas, but usually they know all of this if you are speaking to nurses. Some I've talked to WANT TO KNOW. They know when you have given an obtuse answer. I've said the honest truth about what...

    How long to stay at a job you don't like?

    netglow replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya. Mine ended up being many long days and nights the co was totally not managed well. Poor relationships with physicians and hospitals. Train wreck. If it had been good, I might have stayed....

    Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

    netglow replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Nursing

    So how were you drawing in school, with the ampule completely inverted? cause not touching the sides allows you to upside down it and not break the vac. But, who

    ADN vs BSN

    netglow replied to Jenni811's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nothing. Really. Its a marketing thing, and a keeping up with the Jones' thing. We all know a few ADN/BSN/MSN nurses that can't find their own butts EVEN with a GPS and a flashlight, don't we! Who...

    Now what?

    netglow replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I would not be starting any kind of conversations with a potential new employer. Also, unless you have an offer in hand and then have formally accepted that offer, you don't have a new job. My...

    10 months later, hospital please

    netglow replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    Yup it's a snobbery. Very odd as SNF often requires much more than many hospital nursing jobs just by ratio and care level. SNF doesn't do in and out appys . I have heard of one or two nurses...

    New grad relocating to Chicago

    netglow replied to Lizzyb3185's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes you have a point. But, the sheer volume of nurses is the problem. Remember that nursing homes do not employ many RNs ratios being 1:20-40 usually. The nurses that would like to move on from LTC to...

    I don't think it's a problem, as long as you aren't going for a "bad dude" look. You know what I mean. Don't scare the money clients - little old

    netglow replied to newnurse012's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares about any other nurse. You do as YOU see fit when you are with your patients. All you need from her is report. You and the patient/physician/family are all that matters when you are working....
