  1. Home Health Bags

    dcurry replied to busyrninva's topic in Home Health

    The diaper bag idea is great! Been looking for a nurse bag for a couple of weeks. NEVER thought about a diaper bag. Might be just what I'm looking for.

  2. Time Management: Help!

    dcurry posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 9 months now, working on a busy surgical floor. I can't seem to get my mojo flowing. Have tried several ways to plan my days and get work done. Problem is - we've got patients...

  3. Team Nursing

    dcurry posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have just implemented team nursing on our very busy surgical floor. The new grads love it, the more experienced nurses hate it. I'd love to hear ideas on what works and what doesn't for anyone out...

  4. Team Nursing

    dcurry replied to dcurry's topic in General Nursing

    I really like the idea of "team meetings" before each shift. We don't really need full report on every patient - just the basics. Like you said, who might have problems, which patients are more at...

  5. Team Nursing

    dcurry replied to dcurry's topic in General Nursing

    Christie, I think that may be part of the problem. No one seems to really know what "team nursing" is all about. We try to pair up an RN, LPN and CNA, or inexperienced nurse with an experienced one....

  7. Managing blood sugars and insulin dosage

    dcurry posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone tell me what happens if capillary blood sugars are checked AFTER the patient has eaten their meal. I know ideally they should be checked and Novolog given 5-10 minutes before they eat. This...

  8. Am I too old to just be starting?

    dcurry replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    Hello Nufuture, Your message gave me goose bumbs. You are so right about life being a journey. And it's not over just because you reach a certain age. Sometimes I do laugh and ask God what He was...

  9. Am I too old to just be starting?

    dcurry replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    You are never too old to do something you want to do. I started NS at age 48, finished at 50. Had a friend started with me, she was 56 when she finished. We are both working now and loving every...

  10. New graduate needs advice

    dcurry replied to burnett24's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad myself. This is very good advice and I agree that listening and being humble and teachable is important. But how do you handle it when an experienced (but only 2 years) seems to enjoy...
