    Another rant regarding MA's and Nurses

    lrobinson5 replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know who they would charge though. The phone system may have said 'speak to a nurse' but then you asked Ashley she didn't claim to be one. I think you should report it though, especially...

    Ops! Things that make you go huh!

    lrobinson5 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that is the idea behind the body creating the fever. That being said, if you DO stop the fever it isn't like they will never kill off the bacteria. I would say that the comfort of not having the...

    Please Help Make Retractable Safety Needles Mandatory

    lrobinson5 replied to LRB79's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have to agree, are you trying to mandate ONLY retractable needles? There are many other effective safety measures that might cost less as

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    Each semester the amount of points you need will change based on how much the competition has, but I had 75 points and was placed on the alternate list. I was called a day or so before intake day....

    Introducing High School Students to Field of Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to ontrak's topic in Nursing Career

    I know they are incredibly cliche, but I know a lot of nursing programs show the Johnson & Johnson nurse videos. They are meant to pull on the heartstrings, but I think they did a good job of...

    Kindergarten teachers make wonderful patients

    lrobinson5 replied to JeneraterRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to share this post with my father-in-law who just started teaching Kindergarten. I'm sure he will agree that they are the best

    How would you respond to this??

    lrobinson5 replied to nurse678's topic in General Nursing

    I just wonder why she feels that poop>heart medication. I mean I know people always fixate on the "gross" aspect of the job, but really? Maybe you should bring up some of the things involved with...

    Loma Linda University (CA) CRNA (new program)

    lrobinson5 replied to dianah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can safely say after attending the open house for LLUMC that any atheist that wants to get accepted should make friends with a pastor who will write a glowing letter of recommendation. Then I would...

    Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    lrobinson5 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the news section there is a discussion about New York trying to become the first state to require a BSN to practice. You may be grandfathered in... but really if everyone else has a BSN and you are...

    Seems a bit excessive to me....

    lrobinson5 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    That's where I was going with my original post. I think with the economy there will be even more stories like this one, and they pretty much all make the situation seem bad. I really want to believe...

    Seems a bit excessive to me....

    lrobinson5 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    It might be something like overtime pay comes from a different pot?? I have no idea either, but one would assume that the way the system is set up they are doing it this way because it is the only way...

    Seems a bit excessive to me....

    lrobinson5 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Happens all the time with firefighters as well. Some bean counter at the top has the genius idea of just allowing existing employees to work overtime rather than take on new hires. Tell me there...

    Anesthesiologist Pays $8.2M for Praising Error-Prone Colleague

    lrobinson5 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am assuming that the anesthesiologist knew about the drug diversion, in which case he does deserve some of the blame. I'm not saying he should come out and tell an employer what he was doing...

    Heparin and Lovenox together

    lrobinson5 replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in school now and have wondered about a situation such as this. Say you did clarify with the MD about giving them both at the same time, are you still supposed to hold the medication? I know they...

    At what point do I complain?

    lrobinson5 replied to ohmg's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I misunderstood. Having no schedule to work with is stupid, and it is going to make planning out studying and practicing skills difficult. I wasn't trying to minimize what you were going...

    At what point do I complain?

    lrobinson5 replied to ohmg's topic in General Students

    The only thing I don't get is complaining about the curriculum being a year old. I don't know of anyone that expects instructors to write up new teaching plans every semester, or even every year. I...

    lrobinson5 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking of going for something specialized, but I am only in my 2nd semester in my ADN program. I am two semesters away from setting foot in an ICU, and I am sort of surprised that people...

    Facebook Violations

    lrobinson5 replied to CottonPuffCat's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It sounds frustrating, but beyond maybe telling her it isn't cool to give you thirty minutes to cover for her, there isn't much that can be done about that. I would stop looking at the fb page to save...

    First day of Nursing school..What should I expect?

    lrobinson5 replied to Valery0725's topic in General Students

    Our first day was dreadfully boring. Reading through a million pages of the study guide and syllabus, talking about policies and procedures, going over a tentative schedule for the whole first...

    Teenage Pregnancy/Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you xtxrn. The only thing that worries me is the thought of some parents out there being the only source of information for their kids. Many parents are able to opt out of all sex ed...

    Teenage Pregnancy/Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes there is a huge lack of sex education in schools. I was a teen mom, and I know that I felt pretty stupid about a few things after I got pregnant. When I had a + test, my now sister-in-law...

    what is the difference between nursing notes and charting

    lrobinson5 replied to bernikitty's topic in General Nursing

    All the responses have it correct. Charting is on a flow sheet, computer etc. The nurses notes are usually what you fill out if you either a.) don't have a box to check, or b.) something is abnormal...

    Injury of Unknown Origin

    lrobinson5 replied to HurricaneCasRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think you make a great argument, but I'm just a student. To me it makes sense to check unknown, but then again I've never had to document :/ Good
