  1. I got fired today...

    Guest343211 replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK then.

  2. Black - The New White For Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes, and if they are in anesthesia or surgery or cath, aren't those scrubs provided for them by the hospital. I think it's a different deal when they are lending them to you versus having to buy...

  3. Black - The New White For Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Why the need for color-coding at all. If you otherwise properly identified...tag/lab coat, really what's the point? It's

  4. I got fired today...

    Guest343211 replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The whole thing sounds screwy. Betcha somehow you weren't liked or they found someone they liked better for some reason, or there is some kind of game going on. Your mistakes were not Fire-worthy in...

  5. I got fired today...

    Guest343211 replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are preaching to the choir. Most of my pts are on and have been on vents. I've been in critical care for over 20 years. It's just that what she describes initially is not referred to as a med...

  6. I got fired today...

    Guest343211 replied to patrickh_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Confused. The O2 issue was an error in nursing judgment and using the nursing process for that particular patient. Not sure, however, how it is a medication error per se. I mean oxygen probably...

  7. I think I'm in over my head :/

    Guest343211 replied to CrystRN33's topic in MICU, SICU

    Oh, and I forgot to ask the OP as well. . . Seriously is this an actual area in which you want to work. It's cool if it's

  8. Update: My seven month journey in ICU has ended

    Guest343211 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    :) And may most of your ladies, should you rotate to L&D, not be

    Guest343211 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    You got it! And the best to you in your new role!

  10. Black - The New White For Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    IDK, reminds me of standard uniform for hair dressers--BLACK. I don't think there should be a specific color--just not anything crazy, and people must where lab coats with their titles and/or name...

  11. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Guest343211 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yea, I was messing around; but no I really don't agree that it's something that should be shared with the GP. It's just that I'm not real UPTIGHT about it either. Apart from any possible undermining...

  12. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Guest343211 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Well, to be honest, no offense, but I don't find it that funny, really. . .b/c well, I just don't find it funny. I mean when obnoxious and abusive drunk comes in, swearing and caring on, I might give...

  13. I think I'm in over my head :/

    Guest343211 replied to CrystRN33's topic in MICU, SICU

    OK, so which cardiac meds are you having trouble with? The best way to try and understand them is to first understand hemodynamics and of course, for antiarrhythmics or for the number of drugs that...

  14. I think I'm in over my head :/

    Guest343211 replied to CrystRN33's topic in MICU, SICU

    To me this is absolutely tragic. Do they have need of more nurses on the PCU? Stay there for a year, and the transition to SICU will be easier. I mean it will still be a pain for a number of...

  15. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    OH, wow! Congratulations! A Christman/Hanukkah Baby! Hope you are feeling well. One of my sons' birthday is two days before Christmas.

  16. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Guest343211 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Well, I mean, that person could definitely benefit from at least a 14

  17. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Guest343211 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I mean yea, it kind of undermines what we are supposed to be about. And so many folks are distraught over having to have blood draws or IVs or ABGs. It doesn't really help our cause. Personally, I...

    Ouch and

  19. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a two income household? Yes, I'm fearing inflation is going to hit all of us hard. Maybe not right away, but in the next several years. Everyone's taxes pretty much will have to go up....

  20. Ambien order did I make a mistake

    Guest343211 replied to nakinok's topic in Patient Medications

    I know one thing, Ambien sure made me do some crazy things. Just ask my kids. I stopped taking it. I was afraid I'd end up driving around the neighborhood naked. So I don't touch the stuff.

  21. Ambien order did I make a mistake

    Guest343211 replied to nakinok's topic in Patient Medications

    The order doesn't meet the safety guidelines. Even if you repeat 10mg x 1 nothing will in all probability happen to the patient--but you never know. What if they climb out of bed, tear out their...

  22. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Overall, however, I wouldn't say that was true--with the exception of some CRNAs topping some primaries. But even primary care can still make money--it just means seeing a lot more patients and...

  23. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but I also think when it has been addressed in the media, people tended to blow it off as nonsense. All they have heard for so long is there is this big nursing shortgage. And while it is true...

  24. Pediatric ICU Questions!

    Guest343211 replied to Aerielle's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Yes, I mentioned this in my reply in the [COLOR=#003366]Is it moral for nursing schools to keep taking tuition if they can’t place their (nursing students) thread. The new grad programs are rare...

    Guest343211 replied to nakinok's topic in Patient Medications

    Get the rx clarified, rewrite, and be done wih it. Doesn't get easier than
