  1. Things you don't want to hear your Aide say

    Key_ replied to readytoroll's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't like it when an aide tells me that something just "isn't right" with a patient because they are usually right. The other thing I don't like is when they fail to tell me something. If a pt has...

    Key_ replied to Cristiann's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I know another trick. Our nursing board has an online site to check license info. I went on there the next day and I had a number so I knew that I had passed. If your state has an online site you...

  6. I think I failed, and I'm panicking...

    Key_ replied to Cristiann's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone (almost) feels like they failed when they take the NCLEX. How long do you have to wait for your results? We were lucky enough to only have to wait a day. But all these people are right, go do...

  9. How many miles/minutes do you drive to work?

    Key_ replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I work 47 miles from home, takes about 55 minutes. The company I work for has built a hospital 5 minutes from my house but they have put off opening it. Wish they would hurry up

  10. When to call the doctor?

    Key_ replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    For a different view, on the floor I work on we wouldn't normally call a rabid on a BP of 80/50. I work on a tele unit and if we had a blood pressure like that we would call the Dr and probably treat...

    Key_ replied to tdms's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started to read this I thought it was going to say something like "I didn't assess my patient for hours and he had a post-cath groin bleed". The patient wasn't harmed and you shouldn't be...

  14. Help with Simple Question

    Key_ replied to jamhoyz's topic in General Nursing

    If an organism is resistant to something then it is not going to kill it, or kill all of it. So if it is resistant to hand gel then yes, use soap and water, because the gel won't kill it. And your...
