    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    You don't think so what?? Say what you will, but it doesn't change the fact. Direct question asked and direct question answered. I don't care about the rest of this fake story or how she should have...

    Advice from current nurses or students?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard a lot of generalizations about nurses, but never have I heard that we had a reputation about "not being smart" It's ironic this post would come the day after a very famous television...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Ehhh I consider it a compliment. I am good at debating and when I am told in person it's because I am extremely perceptive and I catch inconsistencies in stories. It has helped in my career a lot when...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but snort at this and laugh because that is literally the 5th time in the past 2 weeks I have been told I definitely should have been an attorney. I mean I have been told most of my adult...

    Worried about giving wrong saline!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nurselalou's topic in General Nursing

    You hanging 1/2 NS to 9% NS at the same rate (I am assuming bolus) should not have impacted the BP in a negative way. Like had you ran the whole bolus over 20-30 mins and didn't notice the error until...

    Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw this last night I had to share it everywhere. It's amazing that he made it a repeated point to let everyone know that it was the nurses that caught the problem and how thankful he was. It's...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Umm to be fair if you're going to try and justify and correlate the misuse of the word evasive. A better scenario would be asking if I took Norco and me saying No because I really took Percocet. Both...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I am not justifying the alleged person showing up with the head scarf after being told she is not allowed to wear it. I am not justifying her not speaking up to clarify why she was wearing it after...

    Worried about giving wrong saline!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nurselalou's topic in General Nursing

    Even if she would have given the entire bag and not just 50mL, that would NOT have sent your patient into septic shock. The treatment for shock is fluid. For Septic you will get varied opinions, but a...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I mean I am not this made up friend, so I can't say what she did or didn't know. Maybe she was legitimately dumb. Maybe she isn't dumb at all and just naive and sheltered and didn't know what's why...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty sure that is the funniest thing I have read all day!!!! I have a question for everyone that keeps saying the "friend" was being evasive. She was asked twice if she was Muslim. She...

    New nurse.. Just want to quit everything..

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nohseungjin's topic in General Nursing

    Get out! Don't give up nursing because you're in this crappy situation. Do your program so it can broaden your job prospects and find an area that isn't abusing you and that you're happy in. Quit the...

    How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't suggesting nurses should feel obligated to spend their money on patients. I don't think the nurse should be providing the hygiene stuff for the patient, the hospital or LTC facility should...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CarlaHawk22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well see now a whole lot more of the story comes out. From your initial post it was presented like you were actively taking care of this kiddo that you were starting to have concerns on and instead of...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CarlaHawk22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not to sound like an orifice, but have you discussed this with your doctor or charge? I mean this site can be a great resource but you're bringing up concerns for a current patient in your care that...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to TeenyTiny's topic in General Nursing

    So I thought of one I was gonna post in my "Not today Satan, not today thread" but that can loosely (very loosely) fit in here. I promise this story is 100% true. Patient comes into the ER via...
