    I have had such a day....(Looooong)

    BabyRN2Be replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that was a long day. I really commend you on how you worked with the family. You demonstrated a lot of patience as well as empathy. It's really sad that the pt's nurse didn't feel the same way or...

    thin ice nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to katie'sangel's topic in General Nursing

    Babynurselsa is right. This is just a set up for trouble. I'd do a lot of documenting. Wow. I'd really be concerned if I worked in a place like

    Do i still have a chance to pass nclex RN?

    BabyRN2Be replied to cianne76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You did the right thing in calling to be sure that your file was complete. Sometimes that holds everything up in CA. There's still hope from what you described: you got a lot of priority and...

    Very sad update on the twins

    BabyRN2Be replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanted to let you know that I'm also praying for this mom and her unborn babies. I know that this is a hard decision to make. Please keep us posted on her progress.

    Is it ethical for hospitals to have Mickey D's on premises?

    BabyRN2Be replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Can't disagree there. Mickey D's has their standard hamburger/cheeseburger. It's just about the same everywhere while the hospital cafeteria's burger is expensive and sometimes tastes pretty bad. Just...

    ER Pet Peeves

    BabyRN2Be replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    YAY!!!!! Great job!!! I would do something like that but since I'm not an ED RN (or an RN for that matter... yet!! :)) it would mean more coming from a group of hospital workers who have to deal with...

    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    BabyRN2Be replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I can sort of relate... Also, On Thanksgiving Day I envision the ED being full of lacerations resulting from miscarving turkeys. Is this often the case or

    Im Pretty Sure I Failed Again.

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

    I'm really sorry to hear that Dave. You still have an admirable attitude. I know that one day you WILL pass. I hope that you will persevere and become a nurse one day. Wish I could say more, but hang...

    Catch a nurse stealing meds/what to do?

    BabyRN2Be replied to county162's topic in Emergency

    Say that you will read the Policy and Procedure Manual and do exactly what it says. Usually that's informing the NM and whoever else the Manual says to report it

    BabyRN2Be replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    You won't be able to get a job with any hospital affiliated with Group One in Texas. From what I understand, ALMOST every hospital is affiliated with Group One. Once you get put on their "Do Not Hire"...

    ER Pet Peeves

    BabyRN2Be replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    And Good Housekeeping isn't helping out with this one. I read this either on this thread or another that on page 65 of the November 2005 issue, it stated that when you first present in triage, tell...

    "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    BabyRN2Be replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhhhh... exactly!!!! There are some people who have been trying for years to have a baby but can't. I wouldn't blame anyone for tearing someone a new one if they came up to that person (who couldn't...

    ER Pet Peeves

    BabyRN2Be replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    Do people really come in because they vomited once?? I guess they do because I'm definitely not doubting you all. If I worked in ED this would be one of my pet peeves, too. What makes vomiting or...

    Say no to AMS

    BabyRN2Be replied to Run27's topic in Agency Nurses

    This is a prime reason why you need to get everything in writing. I do hope that you at least report them to someone, labor board, or contact a lawyer. They don't follow through with things in hopes...

    NCLEX Today - Stopped at 75

    BabyRN2Be replied to becky1961's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We've had many people in this forum on both sides of the fence. Many get 75 and pass, but there are some who get 75 and fail. The other side: some get the most questions, 265, again, some fail with...

    VERY weird code today

    BabyRN2Be replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, well that's really good that the family was not told about what had happened. In this case, I'm glad that the physician did not tell the

    on call for holidays?

    BabyRN2Be replied to bonjovigirl's topic in General Nursing

    On the floor I work on, there's already been some "snarking" about holidays. It started at least 6 weeks ago! We have a new grad who said if she can't get several of the holidays off, she'll call in...

    Web Cam in the NICU

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyNurse513's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I did work in a hospital which had a camera on the baby which fed into the mom's postpartum room. This was back in the days in which a vag delivery was a 3 day stay (4 days if you could drum up a...

    NICU dislikes

    BabyRN2Be replied to KES's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yeah, I didn't think that there would be another way to resuscitate a baby without bagging. I was wondering if there was another procedure I hadn't heard of to help the baby "breathe" (one of the...

    BabyRN2Be replied to FLstudent's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Your feelings are understandable. If you have a strong preceptor, it will make for a better experience for you. I really hope that you have that. It's great that you are reading. The moderators for...

    BabyRN2Be replied to dinan028's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OK, the sticky I was talking about is entitled something like "NCLEX number of questions - clarifications ALL STUDENTS PLEASE READ." It's something like that and I believe it's the second one from the...
