  1. Vent - Still frustrated about this situation, what would you have done?

    RNandRRT replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing that I can imagine is that they were completely out of their comfort level. Not every nurse is composed of DNA meant to inspire taking care of ICU level patients. I have seen non-ICU...

    RNandRRT replied to lambimari's topic in General Nursing

    It's easy. The facility I work at, each nurse has a COW. (computer on wheels) Each cow also has med drawers. At the beginning of the shift you get all the meds for your patients from the pyxis and...

  5. Nurses and Coffee

    RNandRRT replied to studentstorm's topic in General Nursing

    Starbucks is too expensive. Dunkin' Donuts coffee is awesome! Until budget cuts become overwhelming, our facility provides us with decent coffee that is individualized and comes in different

  6. Feeling overwhelmed today.

    RNandRRT replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It happened to all of us. It's your brains way of saying, "please, just take 1 day off". You've got plenty of time to go right back to it tomorrow, fresh. Seriously. Tomorrow afternoon, start right...

    RNandRRT replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

  8. Warning - excelsior students

    RNandRRT replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This OP has made only 4 posts. If you check them out, all 4 are EC bashing posts. To think this thread is anything but a negative bashing EC thread is naive. Why isn't this thread closed to posting...

  11. Intimidating? ME?

    RNandRRT replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not much you really can do. He's made it clear he wants nothing to do with you on a personal level, so you're just going to have to keep it professional on your end for the next couple of months. It's...

    RNandRRT replied to SLCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  15. Weekday CPNE?

    RNandRRT replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have heard that sometimes there are weekday offerings. I don't know where or how often. I think it's easier on the weekends because less activity going

  16. States Who Have Banned HESI

    RNandRRT replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes, but it sounds like a huge waste of time and energy. Wouldn't taking the NCLEX for the first time give you a good idea where you stood?Just seems pretty redundant for a mandatory item. If it was...

  20. CPNE Grid

    RNandRRT replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The grid is yours to make and use however it works best for you. I wrote out my grids using full mnemonics in the beginning and as I continued to just write them out and learn them, I was able to just...

  21. ****** if you do and ****** if you don't

    RNandRRT replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. I'm pretty sure we emphasize the importance of CPR to everyone. If I go down, I hope to goodness the guy standing next to me attempts CPR whether or not he/she is in the medical field....

  22. How did you convince your wife/significant other to support decision?

    RNandRRT replied to jcmoore07's topic in Men in Nursing

  23. managements new idea for call-lights

  24. how long to prepare for CPNE?

    RNandRRT replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's all becoming a distant blur to me. Except for the actual weekend. I still have my EC CPNE flashcards on the floor next to my bed. It makes me smile every time I go to sleep to know I never have...
