  1. OK sorry everyone

    Creamsoda replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry but you still sound immature, and it shows in your posts. You honestly sound like a 12 year old who cant take responsibility for their actions. I honestly thought that your first post was a joke...

  7. How does your unit handle this assignment situation ?

    Creamsoda replied to melanie1126's topic in General Nursing

    I think thats how its usually done, but I think as a courtesy to you, you should be allowed to catch up, then take the admit. and ask your coworkers for help, like passing routine meds if they're not...

  8. How Do You Prime Blood Tubing?

    Creamsoda replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the only way it would matter is if you were running it off the pump (gravity), where if for some reason you looked away and all of a sudden all the NS ran in after the blood was done. If its...

    Creamsoda replied to Vespertinas's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Creamsoda replied to pyocola's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  16. giving O2 per request?

    Creamsoda replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Are you a CNA or nursing student? I guess it doesn't really matter what you are. You are not a nurse. So if you are going to apply the oxygen, all you needed to do was tell your nurse in that...

  17. New RN, what kind of makeup can I use to cover a tattoo?

    Creamsoda replied to lilybug12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Id think that I would just wear long sleeves. Maybe you can find a really thin fabric thats long sleeved so you wouldn't get so hot. The makeup thing just seems like so much trouble, especially when...

    Creamsoda replied to lori4367's topic in General Nursing

    Creamsoda replied to Flare's topic in School

    Creamsoda replied to IndianaHH's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  25. Chest tube, flush and aspirate?

    Creamsoda replied to tojal1989's topic in General Nursing
