    WHAT?? NO med cart and NO nurse's station??

    BabyRN2Be replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Not that this is a contest or anything, but unfortunately where I work (my dh wants me to resign) the staffing is REALLY bad. It's a home environment, licensed for 6 (we are at max), so, we have 6...

    "Flying Under The Radar"

    BabyRN2Be replied to NavyWife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did she do this in front of the class?? I really don't care if this is just a nursing thing, that was very unprofessional of the instructor. Something like this should go into her personnel file, but...

    Read the article about calling 911 to get seen faster???

    BabyRN2Be replied to missboo622's topic in Emergency

    I remember an article that came out in November of last year, I believe. While I do not remember seeing "Come by ambulance, you'll be seen quicker," I do remember seeing the recommendation of "Tell...

    Nursing school with a GED.

    BabyRN2Be replied to desireef's topic in General Nursing

    If you do really well on your prerequisites, you shouldn't have any problems. If you are weak in some areas, there are many colleges that offering tutoring in certain subjects. Best of luck to you! Go...

    Taking a child off life support

    BabyRN2Be replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to say that there are some "pro-lifers" who are more sensible and understand when mechanical ventilation needs to be stopped. I would consider myself one of them; I've stated to my family...

    Another "OMG i can't believe you did that!" family member story

    BabyRN2Be replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this has been discussed yet because I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I've wondered, how are semi-private rooms NOT a violation of HIPAA? I was in the hospital last January, and...

    BabyRN2Be replied to bclily's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! I don't know if I have any more advice to add to what you've already received, but it sounds like you've come back via a very hard road. I wish you the very best in life, and I also...

    Quit after a week!

    BabyRN2Be replied to McArdle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is so sad. I'm sorry that you had to witness that event. It was totally inappropriate that she stomped on the resident's stuffed animal. Even though she was having trouble putting up with the...

    RN starting salary in OKC

    BabyRN2Be replied to marilynmom's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    As I said, this was a few years ago... it's probably way outdated. I can't get salary.com to work for me, but I'm sure that new grads probably make closer to the $18/hr seems more on target. It...

    Has anyone failed using Saunders?

    BabyRN2Be replied to AmyD_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course. People have failed using Saunder's. If you go out to Barnes and Noble, buy the Saunder's products and leave them to sit on the coffee table at home (to impress your guests, I guess), well,...

    Has Anyone Ever Challenged The Results Of Their Nclex Exam Results?

    BabyRN2Be replied to scorpion79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Challenging the NCLEX - is that even a possibility?? I'm just curious. Most retake it if they fail and hope to pass the second

    CNA base pay

    BabyRN2Be replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hi! I believe that the hospitals will pay more for CNA work. I know that the CNA's (called CTA's - cross-trained assistants) at Hillcrest can make as much as $8.00/hr. Although Hillcrest is downtown,...

    RN starting salary in OKC

    BabyRN2Be replied to marilynmom's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Now in Tulsa, last time I checked (and yes, this was a few years ago), new grads were getting $14.01 at a certain hospital. Not sure of the area of care, nor shift. But OKC may offer a little more....

    OK weather?

    BabyRN2Be replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    OK weather? No, this is NOT OK. It's just too hot for this time of year. And we haven't had enough rain. I'm not a fan of hot weather, and this year it seems we went from cold with a VERY brief stay...

    Seeking a Pre-CNA job

    BabyRN2Be replied to ejmonroe's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Whoa... where can a CNA make $16/hr (other than agency work)? The most that I've seen is maybe $8.00/hr. Just curious, maybe it's the part of the country that I'm in, but wow, CNA working for $16/hr...

    Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

    BabyRN2Be replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I was doing some reading on food allergies a few days ago. From what I've read (sorry, I don't have a source here with me at the moment), orange/citrus allergies are quite common. So, I...

    Could I be held liable for not telling a doctor?

    BabyRN2Be replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I don't know if a person can have obvious symptoms when their sugar is that high, but the fact that she laughs when her sugar is so high, well, I'm thinking that...

    rules for the ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Wow, this one is so true: The voice of experience sometimes gets drowned out by the din of expedience. I'm not even an ER worker and I find this one to be true. But I guess it can be used in other...

    claiming to be what she isn't

    BabyRN2Be replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen this many times before. I've seen CNA's and MA's pass themselves off as nurses. I've seen this on The People's Court or Judge Judy. The TV program gives the person's occupation as "Certified...

    I Give Up

    BabyRN2Be replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    I ran across this one a few years ago. I understand why I didn't get it because I hadn't heard of the last
