  1. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    Clarify- moped or actual motorcycle. LOL Can you exceed the speed limit on it? If you can, ride it. If you don't hit the speed limit,
  2. RN to BSN? Stop in here....

    What all are you taking? I will have Nursing Research, Foundation of Nursing Information, Health Assessment and Diagnosis, and Concepts in
  3. RN to BSN? Stop in here....

    Oh no! Good luck with stats- I took that this summer. Luckily, the teacher was great. He gave us partial credit, so if we just tried, we could make at least a B on the test! I managed to get an A in...
  4. Have U ever left a job after a short Period? Why?

    For nursing- I started in June and left in March. I was trying my best to get on days so I could see my family. I was told over and over again there were no day shift positions. Somehow, somewhere,...
  5. Let's hear your school uniform stories!

    I wanted to add- as tempted as I was to burn them once I graduated, I saved them. They look old, and they mean a lot. I wanted to save them to look back on one day, and not just in
  6. Rn to BSN programs in the triangle area

    I'm doing mine at ECU (online). I think a lot of the RN to BSN programs are going online instead of on campus now. Good
  7. Hearing loss!

    I think she's pretty good. We're in a small town, so we're limited (one big ENT office and one small one), but insurance doesn't cover any of it. Go figure. You lose your vision- insurance covers it....
  8. NG tubes

    One big tip for kids- if they take a paci, give it to them. My first NGT was on a baby. I was scared to death, and my instructor was in there with me- I dropped it first time, and when I hit...
  9. RN to BSN? Stop in here....

    I start the East Carolina online RN to BSN program in January. I am just terrified I am taking on too much (but I want it done, so I am trying to do a three semester option). So I'll be joining you...

    It depends on what type you're giving- Kdur or Klor. Different absortion rates, one is dissolved, the other extended release and can't be
  13. A memorial to one of our posters: Josh Harmon

    I'm sorry for the loss of your son, and the loss our country has in the loss in your son. He sounds like a wonderful man! Many prayers to you and your family, as well as his commrades still
  14. Let's hear your school uniform stories!

    We had white pants, white top, and a white pinafore with a blue stripe. I hated tha that uniform! I did love the pockets- I had three big kangaroo pockets on the front, but as I gained weight, it...
  15. Nurses: Mandatory Vaccinations?

    You can refuse any of them. I won't get started though- vax's are one of those things I am really passionate about.
  16. What's in your sharps container?

    Mostly insulin needles right now. Before I snagged a sharps box from the health dept, the nurse at the school before me had an orange juice bottle with "BIOHAZARD" written all over it! Great for a...
  17. determining fluid status

    There is a lot to assess- skin turgor, edema, lung sounds, I&O, weights, are the mucous membranes moist, and I am sure there is a ton I'm not thinking
  18. Would it be the right time thinking of baby?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say go for it! Our first daughter was a surpise- she was conceived around the time of my last final. LOL All that stress was gone, so I guess I was more relaxed! We...
  19. Eh- I work public health through local govt. I don't get paid much anyways. LOL Thanks for the

  22. administration of sodium bicarb

    I tried this once-, and I got my butt chewed out real quick! It's not real world. If you see it drawn up, verify it and give it. You're not going to be able to draw up and give every med during a code...
  23. LTC resident telling a fib

    I always like to put "denies any other complaints or needs" in my written notes. Not sure how much it will cover me legally, but if it's true, I put it! Since she is confused at times, and if you did...
  24. Nursing Students Treated Like 3rd Graders

    We were video taped during a test once, b/c someone was reported cheating. We were expected to place our belongings at the front of the classroom, when entering when we had a test. If making sure...
  25. Duty to warn

    Public health get involved in HIV and most TB cases. Public health is unique in that legal area, since we can do more (have more authority). In NC at least, if someone is not taking their TB meds as...
