  1. Where do your Miscarrages admit into

    jeepgirl replied to JHUBRAIN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly... I think it is best that they are not admitted to OB or PP. My reasoning on this is the fact that there are crying babies, stuff in the rooms for new moms, decor that focuses on new babies...

  2. Patients Who Are Prisoners

    jeepgirl replied to Cameelrn's topic in General Nursing

    He probably never gets to see her. I kind of feel for that guy, you know? Poor guy, and he knew he'd get an infection... its pretty inevitable in close quarters like that, itsn't

  3. Patients Who Are Prisoners

    jeepgirl replied to Cameelrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken care of 1 prisoner and 1 who had just been released. The one that was in custody was very polite and nice. So were the officers that were with him. I had one guy who had just been...

  4. help advice needed about blood issue

    jeepgirl replied to nessa1982's topic in General Nursing

    I think when she says "giving" blood she means adminstering it. Not blood donation. This is because she can't receive blood herself... it's against her religion to receive blood or blood products....

  5. Vaccinations

    jeepgirl replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Pediatric

    We've had parents against vaccinations. I don't agree with it, but not much I can do. We have had a RASH of children with pertussis lately.... all down with it before they get those 2 month shots....

    jeepgirl replied to lifeLONGstudent's topic in Pediatric

    spacers are wonderful things. i know how difficult it can be to have a child going to dad's for visits. luckily, i have never dealt with that issue.... the pallet on the floor one. that is hard and i...

  8. help advice needed about blood issue

    jeepgirl replied to nessa1982's topic in General Nursing

    just see if you can switch assignments around. if you are unable to, maybe the other nurse will actually hang the blood, push the pump etc and you can just "Watch" the patient instead of initiating...

  10. Needlestick injury

    jeepgirl replied to Brigid's topic in General Nursing

    not that this was what happened... but the only thing I can think of is that a patient digging through a needbox for drugs would be at risk for a

  12. What does RNC mean?

    jeepgirl replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For instance, CPN = RN, CPN = Registered Nurse, Certified Pediatric Nurse. I believe for that one you have to have two years of full time experience in Peds to sit for

  13. IV Site Prep

    jeepgirl replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    Blowing on it would be an infection control issue! We use chloraprep one step on our patients, except if they are under the age of 6 months then its alcohol

  14. NP education - a rant

    jeepgirl replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jeepgirl replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  16. is an online RN-BSN program a hindrance to entrance to NP program?

    jeepgirl replied to geekgolightly's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    how about an Online RN-BSN from a state university? they can't even tell the difference. a lot of schools have them. look around. where are you from? www.allnursingschools.com I'm doing mine...

  17. NP education - a rant

    jeepgirl replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, I'm just not quite sure what to say. You are lumping all recent grads together and saying that they are not prepared enough to practice on a basic level? You've seen it with your own eyes?...

  18. delegation and the nursing student

    jeepgirl replied to KCRN13's topic in General Nursing

    https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81114 In the end, I was being much too timid when asking. I started being direct when asking them to do something for me. I also started giving my NA's...

  19. delegation and the nursing student

    jeepgirl replied to KCRN13's topic in General Nursing

    It is very hard to delegate as a student nurse. In my program, it was only in dire straights could you delegate without getting you butt chewed. So, no one ever did it. Not to mention the fact that...

  20. Is my patient going to die??

    jeepgirl replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    jeepgirl replied to pk1's topic in General Nursing

  23. Can't Work Third. What do I do?

    jeepgirl replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    you said that you would. personally, i think it would be pretty selfish to say you would do something and then back out. especially since it is for SUCH a short period of time. do that next shift and...

  24. Please Help, what hospitals will pay for nursing school?

    jeepgirl replied to keng67goat's topic in General Nursing

    jeepgirl replied to markbeast's topic in Patient Safety Issues
