    Butting Heads with Doctors

    NurseCard replied to RN4it's topic in General Nursing

    Probably nothing. Seriously. Does the kid have something going on that generally REQUIRES medication to control? If so, then you could try talking to the parents yourself maybe one more time,...

    Sleeping in the Closet?

    NurseCard replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    In my case, this must be correct. I have gotten SO used to sleeping during the day that I have no need for a blacked-out room. I can't have my window WIDE open on a bright sunny day, but as long as...

    NurseCard replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I won!! Ahem... I would like to thank the academy.... ☺ but seriously, thanks a bunch to everyone who voted! Smells... The only thing that makes me gag every single time, is MOUTH smells... Bad...

    putting vaseline gauze under wet gauze

    NurseCard posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Okay, so my floor currently has two patients with wet to dry dressings ordered. While I understand that wet to dry dressings are no longer the standard, they are still ordered and still done. I work...

    First Job as a Psyche Nurse

    NurseCard replied to Kaylight's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds a lot like my first psych job. A LOT. I liked it at the time because I was used to a super-stressful Med Surge job. It was really boring at times though. I agree with Sour Lemon in that,...

    When is your Spring Break & what are you doing?

    NurseCard replied to tining's topic in School

    No plans! Kids are actually getting their Spring Break... it has been cancelled a couple of years in the past due to numerous snow days. This year they implemented "non traditional days", for the...

    Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

    NurseCard replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that too.

    Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

    NurseCard replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    Not really behavior that you should be expected to just accept and move on... However, if all of your higher-ups know about the behavior and have chosen to do nothing... then about all you can do I'm...

    To BSN or Not?

    NurseCard replied to VA2AK's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above, now doesn't seem like a good time for you to try to pursue a BSN, when you aren't even sure that you should continue nursing, at least not at this time. For what it's worth,...

    Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    NurseCard replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken it several times and my results seem to vary a bit. I seem to either get INFP or INFJ. I ALWAYS seem to get the I and the

    putting vaseline gauze under wet gauze

    NurseCard replied to NurseCard's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Yes I'm sure it is painful, the wet to dry. We generally give pain medication in preparation for it, but that doesn't mean it works

    Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

    NurseCard replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have to agree with this. I don't necessarily feel like the OP's employer should have to make special accommodations for her, but at the same time I think her beliefs deserve some respect. The term...

    Forced to do 12 hr shifts

    NurseCard replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, sounds like 7pm-7am would work better for you! I too love 12 hour shifts and never want to go back to 5 8's a

    Nursing nightmares.

    NurseCard replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh, I'm constantly dreaming that I'm back in college, and have like 4 classes that I've never even been to, and the semester is ending! I also dream that I'm back in high school. I dream that...

    Nursing nightmares.

    NurseCard replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    My reoccurring dreams: That I am on a med surge unit with about 5-6 patients that I barely lay eyes on all night, and then at the end of the shift I'm rushing to see if they had any meds that I didn't...

    Confused about hiring process

    NurseCard replied to peripateticRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's not ideal honestly. Again, it depends on how bad you are needing a job and how soon. Would you hate to not accept this one job because you are waiting to hear from the other job... only...

    High School Shooter Copy Cats?

    NurseCard replied to guest83140's topic in School

    On February 20th, I kid you not, EVERY school district around me had at least one school go into "soft lockdown" due mostly to things being written on bathroom walls. The high school that my DD...

    A little advice please

    NurseCard replied to smartassmommy's topic in General Nursing

    In all of my years of LTC, we just initialed in the proper little boxes that the meds were given; we didn't write actual times in... I guess the OP is doing computer charting. Not that I ever advocate...

    Confused about hiring process

    NurseCard replied to peripateticRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you could go ahead and accept the other position. Then if you do finally get this job that you really want, you'll just have to let the other job know, hey thanks for the opportunity, but...

    Why do you smoke?

    NurseCard replied to Grobyc82's topic in Health, Stress Management

    MAN, do I feel downright blessed that I never got addicted to those vile things. And the crazy thing is... I TRIED. I tried smoking a few times. Never got addicted. Never could tolerate inhaling,...
