  1. OR Live

    Anyone utilize or-live.com ? I came across it a few years ago in nursing school, and had pretty much forgotten about it. Since I'll be joining an OR team soon, I'm eager to learn (while trying to...
  2. Pediatrics in North Carolina

    I'm not sure about pay, but check out Levine's Children's Hospital. I think it's through Carolina's Medical Center. Baptist in Winston Salem has Brenner's children's
  3. "From the mouth of babes..."

    Ah, there is no filter on the lil' ones. My three year old loudly announced in a very crowded restaurant the other day that she was "gonna pee all over myself". *LMAO* We quickly went to the bathroom...
  4. Ok, I AM looking forward to the job. I'm dreading orientation. :uhoh21: Not even the on the job/patient care orientation. It's that whole sitting in a class for a week orientation. Filling out tax...
  5. No wonder patients are in pain!

    those lil sections are scary! i was reading through one a few weeks ago- found out an old coworker is losing his license for diverting meds. our state will allow you to go through a rehab program to...
  6. Not looking forward to new job...

    i am. i work for public health, and we're taking a big pay cut (we did work through summers, and they gave us less about 3 months warning that we would have to take four weeks off this summer). i'm a...
  7. Not looking forward to new job...

    Let me clarify- By no means am I being ungrateful to have a job. I'm very thankful. I'm also not a new grad and have experience at the same hospital, so it was probably easier for me to get back in...
  8. Legal issue involving DNR...please comment

    If it's those last moments where you're stuck between intubate or start bagging and gettin' ready to code, and someone said that to me, I'd get ready to intubate. However, if I was a DNR and hadn't...
  9. A question about danish , paper, and germs...

    And the dude in line behind you could have the flu or pertussis... If you wanna freak out over something in the restaurants, don't worry about the workers not washing hands after using the bathroom....
  10. Come and get it!

    What method do you use to get students to take home meds at the end of the year? I have high school age kids- some of them I trust to take home their meds (benadryl, epi pens, inhalers). There are...
  11. Shoes?

    Good point. I've only fallen once, but have lost count of the near falls! I fell in December, and my knee still kills
  12. OR Live

    That reminds me- we were at a friends house. Husband and wife, both nurses. My husband and I are nurses. We were discussing parties with coworkers, and how EMS/nurses/docs always tend to migrate to...
  13. How do you handle this?

    I agree with all of these! I think the key is to check in with the patient often. When you say "I need to go see someone in another room, but I will be back between 10 and 1030 to make sure you're...
  14. A question about danish , paper, and germs...

    Nah. I'm pretty laid back with that kind of stuff. Are you a squatter (don't sit on the toilet seat in public) too? So long as they didn't spit on it or pick it up off the floor, I'm
  15. A very trivial question about hair!

    If you have to ask, then the chances are no. If I were an instructor, I wouldn't allow the hair in the picture (I think it's cute, just not appropriate for the clinical learning setting). I'm from the...
  16. Nursing School/Vaccines... Not sure what to do...

    Required vaccines vary from state to state, so it really depends on the OP's location. Hep B is required in my state. Check with your state vaccine requirements (call your local health dept. to find...
  17. Upsetting Day with a side of Ethics issues.

    The doctor needs some God in his life. It amazes me how closed minded and judgemental some people can be. My thought exactly. This is the kind of story that ends up on CNN because someone got...
  18. My worst nightmare came true

    Glad you're back and things are improving. Were you able to stop
  19. Shoes?

    Thanks! I have some Dansko's now, and want to get another pair. I've literally worn through the leather insole from wearing them so
  20. No wonder patients are in pain!

    Sorry you're going through this. Be prepared though- even if your drug screen is negative, there still might be displinary action. Nurses have diverted before, but not for themselves, but for a family...
  21. Wow. What a liability that could have been! You did the right thing reporting
  22. I was five weeks when I started my first nursing job. I'm rather big, so I was able to hide it for a while, but let the cat out of the bag around 9 weeks (I let my preceptor know before that in case a...
  23. *LMAO* I just realized the title of the thread is Pitt *COUNTRY* Hospital (it's county), but country is probably the best way to describe it. If you go five miles outside of town in any direction,...
  24. Did they really! I was out of the loop on that one! I remember them doing a lot of prep work when I was in nursing school. Thanks
  25. Emergency Room Minor Care

    What Linda said... It's a blessing and a curse. It's great because the people with the simple finger lac or twisted ankle have a place to go when the main ED is swamped with MVC's and tele stuff. It...
