    Tips for inserting foleys

    NurseCard replied to theRPN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Phew, I'm right there with you. It's been a very long time since I've met a female whom I could not get into a catheter into. Cathing Males is my kryptonite though. Along with placing most IV's....

    This is not what I thought it was

    NurseCard replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Well, God bless you my friend, my dad is currently in a nursing home as well, although thankfully just for rehab. LTC is, in my opinion anyway, a very difficult place to work. I can no longer do...

    This is not what I thought it was

    NurseCard replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I can attest to this; I have also done home health and it does involve very little walking.. except of course, from your car to the front door. It was hard on my back though, from sitting in my car...

    Why your avatar?

    Lol, I'll think about changing it.

    Why your avatar?

    NurseCard replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    My avatar is the UofL cardinals logo. If I went to something much different, I'd probably have to change my user name. Which I've thought about doing, because I'm not as passionate of a fan as I...

    BMI Screenings totally depress me

    NurseCard replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Interesting that I've never heard a thing from any school nurses about my daughter. Guess it does vary by state. I live in Kentucky where obesity is extremely common. Maybe if school nurses here...

    NurseCard replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work for a printing company as a graphic artist, way back in the day. The employees would order out, pizza, fast food, Chinese, whatever, just about every day. After that experience, and...

    How has nursing changed you?

    NurseCard replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to say whether or not nursing really changed me, because I also became a mother during nursing school. I mean, just as I was about to earn my RN and graduate nursing school, I also had my...

    Just curious... children who vomit!!

    NurseCard posted a topic in School

    What is your all's policy regarding children who vomit? I'm talking, a child who has vomited, whom after vomiting seems just fine, no fever, no other symptoms. What about a child who vomits, who has...

    I can't imagine what you are going through... Can you answer me one question though? What exactly are you doing now? What type of nursing? Why do you feel like you don't help anyone in your current...

    Most Cringeworthy Thing You Did in Nursing School

    NurseCard replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Nursing Humor

    I completely missed a clinical one day because my car broke down. I was near the airport and I think I actually walked to the airport and tried to find the number to the clinical site but wasn't...

    Need advice from my fellow 40 hour night shift nurse

    NurseCard replied to sminichiello's topic in General Nursing

    Probably best to try to go before work. It's too tempting for most people to skip it and just go home and go to bed, after working a night shift. Do you have a 24 hour gym nearby? Planet Fitness?...

    NurseCard replied to Happiness2's topic in General Nursing

    Most people on this website will tell you that skills, such as IV starts, catheters, dressing changes, other hands on skills, can be learned on the job. But, there are also plenty of YouTube videos...

    NurseCard replied to NurseCard's topic in School

    thanks for all of the feedback. Again, was just totally curious as to, if your school districts had a policy. Mine might, I don't even know as I haven't asked. Guess we may just have to try to get...
