  1. Haldol, Pneumonia, PD

    canigraduate replied to Rnfortuna's topic in General Nursing

    Did not know that! Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I know for sure I've given that combo to a couple of psych patients, along with Ativan. I'll remember that in the

  2. Why don't you just read the chart?

    canigraduate replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry your work life sucks. It's not the floor nurse's fault. If it's so bad you can't take five minutes and pass on the important parts of your patient's care, then you need to take it up with your...

    canigraduate replied to tining's topic in School

    I want to like your post, but I'm scared your avatar will bite

  4. Haldol, Pneumonia, PD

    canigraduate replied to Rnfortuna's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth does this make you so upset? You should ask the provider the rationale. They are usually happy to tell you. Without more information, I can't answer the question for you. However, in my...

  5. New Nurse "Grocery List"

    canigraduate replied to ashrose1992's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Nurse Bullying

    canigraduate replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes I wonder if certain people live in an alternate reality of their own making. Bullying is abuse. I have been bullied. Physically and emotionally. None of the people citing examples of how...

  8. med error!!!

    canigraduate replied to alwayslearning55's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were going to say you forgot to DC a heparin drip or something. THAT's huge. This, not so much. Unless your patient died from an unmonitored transfusion reaction. THAT's huge. Just...

  10. 'No Name Seizure'

    canigraduate replied to tining's topic in School

  12. Need some advice - am I that unreasonable?

    canigraduate replied to ACNPmomof2's topic in General Nursing

    Dude (ette). You need to jet. That's ridiculous. I agree with everybody else. Let your doc know what's up, go to HR and tell them the shenanigans that are going on, and get the heck outta Dodge. Let...

  13. Pledge of Allegiance?

    canigraduate replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Well, crap. Per Google, I am a rotten liar. Not all states have pledges. Just 17 of

  14. Pledge of Allegiance?

    canigraduate replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Ironically, my public school didn't do the Pledge. I learned it in Vacation Bible School, where we pledged to the US flag, Christian flag, and the state flag. BTW, every state has a pledge, just like...

  15. Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    canigraduate replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you didn't understand the sarcasm in that post. I'm with Far. What did "they" give us that "we" want? 'Cause I sure as heck didn't ask for increased ratios and decreased unlicensed personnel....

  16. New Nurse "Grocery List"

    canigraduate replied to ashrose1992's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Should I become a nurse if I can't work night shifts?

    canigraduate replied to Kellywon's topic in Nursing Career

    It is possible to get day shift jobs right out of school, but it is hard and you have to take what you can get. There are far more positions than just nursing, though, if you want to be in...

    canigraduate replied to Cattz's topic in School

    OT but related: The ADHD injuries seem to run in families! My brother and his son have the exact same scar on the lip from biting through it after falling. The nurses at the children's hospital ER...

  20. How to handle working nights x3, days x2?

    canigraduate replied to puppyluvRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Depends on how you handle going without sleep. I personally couldn't do that. I would be asleep the entire time I was at home, or an evil brain-eating

    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that I am getting too old for this. I worked four shifts in a row and then slept for 20 of the next 26 hours. I am going to be put in Academic Probation if i don't get some of my classes...

    canigraduate replied to RNCaroline's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Caroline, to answer your questions: Nurse managers are looking for reliability and stability. They would expect you to have researched the specialty and to know, in general, what you are getting into....

  23. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    canigraduate replied to Keepstanding's topic in School
