  1. Colonoscopy: A patients perspective...

    TwilightRNurse replied to cyndiangel13's topic in Nursing Humor

    I personally don't think the letter is funny or even interesting, it's rather crude IMHO. Versed does in fact work. I have worked in endo and patients don't even remember having had the procedure....

  2. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    TwilightRNurse replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree! That is called micro-management and should not be allowed as it stresses out the employees for no good reason. If an employee is chronically late every shift by more than 5-10...

  3. I think I made A Med Error

    TwilightRNurse replied to RaziRN's topic in General Nursing

    NEVER EVER give any medication PO, IV, IM or SQ unless you are familar with it. If in doubt look it up. You were lucky this

  4. Nurse's: Find your own replacement when ill

    TwilightRNurse replied to Leelee2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is not right no matter what type of business you work in. An employee who is sick whether in healthcare, a factory or a store should not come in sick, no matter what. My employer does not have...

  5. NCLEX - best study materials?

    TwilightRNurse replied to angel2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The one most everyone thinks is the best is Saunders NCLEX with CD-ROM. Best of

  6. I talked to HR

    TwilightRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a nursing manager who is not approachable because he/she knows "everything". I get so tired of letting this person know that something needs attention i.e. protocols are updated in the computer...

  7. I talked to HR

    TwilightRNurse replied to TwilightRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Postscript: It's been 4 months and things couldn't be going better. I'm now working on projects with my nurse manager per their request. He/she has said they respect me for making sure things got

  9. if i finished L.V.N course what degree would that be??

    TwilightRNurse replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    If you graduated from this private college can't they answer this question for you? You are a GVN. A licensed nurse, LVN once you pass the

  10. Alright to have your husband start an IV on your patient?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

    If I were an administrator of this facility I wouldn't allow anyone, with any sort of license, to start an IV on a patient no matter what. The patient should have been transferred to the ER to have...

  11. staples left in

    TwilightRNurse replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd wait and let the AM nurse take care of calling the physician. I would not call a doctor at night over

  12. period during pregnancy?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My point was that while it is "theoretically" possible we don't want to mislead or justify all of the posters who stated they, their mother, their sister, their friend's all had periods there entire...

  13. period during pregnancy?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, laypeople may not know but when they get pregnant they will find out. A bicornuate uterus can felt with a simple pelvic exam. Pregnancies in a bicornuate uterus are considered high-risk and...

  14. period during pregnancy?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you have two separate uteruses it would be possible however bleeding for 4 months from the other uterus while you are pregnant is not normal and obviously it would not be considered a normal...

  15. period during pregnancy?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Women can have lady partsl bleeding while pregnant but it is impossible to have a true period and remain pregnant at the same time. If you were pregnant and you began menstruating you would inevitably...

  16. period during pregnancy?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not possible for a young pregnant woman to have periods. Periods come about because an egg is not fertilized/implanted after ovulation so the uterus sheds the uterine lining in preparation for...

  17. Student Nurses opinion in online chat VS. being reported to Board of Re

    TwilightRNurse replied to buddha619's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can get in trouble with the BRN because you don't have a license. How would this person even know who you are? Be careful what you say on facebook, my space, any public place on the...

  18. Accepting gifts from patients...

    TwilightRNurse replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Never accept a gift of cash from a Home Health patient no matter what. Give it back and tell them you cannot accept it. They mean well but that's a big no no that can and will get you

  19. What inspired you to become a nurse?

    TwilightRNurse replied to NurseNinaFla's topic in General Nursing

    Always liked the nurses on TV shows. Once I got into school I loved it more than I could ever have

  20. Have you seen one of these?

    TwilightRNurse replied to TwilightRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I found what I was looking for. The Galls site didn't have it but prompted me to look for other sites that have service award ID holders, so now I know what they are called....

  21. Have you seen one of these?

    TwilightRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a name badge that I cannot put any pins through. I have several service awards and my school pin that I would like to wear. I have seen in the past a clear flexible plastic square that goes...

  22. Charting the death of a DNR pt?

    TwilightRNurse posted a topic in General Students

    Sorry realized I posted in the wrong section. Please remove.

  23. Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

    TwilightRNurse replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of comments? LPN's are equal to RN's? Because it's not true. LPN's are awesome but they do not have a college degree. End of Story. BSN's are better than ASN's? They're not better, they do...

  24. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    TwilightRNurse replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! When you get your RN you will understand that this idea is absurd. I know many LPN's who I would trust over other RN's that I know. I fully accept LPN's but no matter which way you...

  25. Defiant and Insubordinate

    TwilightRNurse replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nursing judgement is not necessarily a solo act. She should have conferred with you that she wasn't giving them and why. I would have been livid. Those who don't agree with you don't have a leg to...
