  1. Somthing going on with my son...

    CFitzRN replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    DBS, despite my recent brain-fart with regard to your remark about the doc being short (haha) I do know a few things about kids. Tics are FAR more common that you would even believe, and so often...

  2. Anyone NOT have trouble getting a job?

    CFitzRN replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    "CNA is always a good option, and it will teach you about real, Crocs-on-the-ground nursing that will enable you to run rings around your straight-A classmates in clinicals." That is SO TRUE. I had...

  4. how many colonoscopies per day?

    CFitzRN replied to ajaxgirl's topic in Gastroenterology

    Yeah, we just take our pts in the order in which they come. That way if someone is late, they can still get in that day - just puts THEM off their schedule, not really

  7. Somthing going on with my son...

    CFitzRN replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, HAHAHA!! DUH-HUH, don't mind me, I'm bloody brain-dead after working all day and driving teenagers to a retreat an hour away (and back). Wow. I can't even believe I missed that!!

  8. Somthing going on with my son...

    CFitzRN replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    DBS, I have to ask you a question. You say "he was short, rude... " etc - why would you include his height in your evaluation of his behavior? I'm not being snarky, I'm seriously asking. It struck...

  9. Intimidating? ME?

    CFitzRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    He is either: A. On drugs, hugely; or B. Mentally ill; or C. A total dumb*ss. By the way, I already like you - you use the word "wonky".

  10. Not sure hospital is right for me. HELP! Curious about jobs outside the hospital

    CFitzRN replied to knufflebunny's topic in General Nursing

    No, but I grew up out there! See? It is a small world.

  11. Deemed unsafe

    CFitzRN replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like there may be other issues, such as not passing the one component of med-surg, that contributed to their decision.

  12. Not sure hospital is right for me. HELP! Curious about jobs outside the hospital

    CFitzRN replied to knufflebunny's topic in General Nursing

    I just remembered that he had been doing that job 1 year - this was 2 years ago.

  13. Not sure hospital is right for me. HELP! Curious about jobs outside the hospital

    CFitzRN replied to knufflebunny's topic in General Nursing

    During nursing school I shadowed a male RN while he did his home hospice rounds. It was AWESOME. I really loved it. He was a great guy too - hey, wonder if it was your husband? What a small world...

  14. I think I bombed my second interview :(

    CFitzRN replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

    Ivanna implied that she did, indeed, get the job. Not to worry. Nothing you wrote (albeit pithy) sounded bad in any way. It's tough to gauge with the limited amound of information you offered but I...

  15. Anyone NOT have trouble getting a job?

    CFitzRN replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    What do you think of it? Are you days or nights? How is it going so far? Will you work there awhile or do you plan to move on to something else soon? (sorry for so many

  16. Anyone NOT have trouble getting a job?

    CFitzRN replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    I started sending my info to the local hospitals in February before I graduated (in may of 08). I got called in March for my first choice (labor & delivery), interviewed twice and was hired in...

  17. Not sure hospital is right for me. HELP! Curious about jobs outside the hospital

    CFitzRN replied to knufflebunny's topic in General Nursing

    I learned early on that the hospital wasn't the environment for me, so I started looking for -anything- outside the hospital I could do. Long story short I now work PRN for an endo unit of a...

  18. Should I finish RN program at age 51?

    CFitzRN replied to Sherriblu's topic in General Nursing

    FINISH!! ABSOLUTELY!! In 2 years you will be 53 without an RN degree. Or you could be 53 WITH an RN degree. What would be better, in your opinion? It's a no-brainer,

  20. New Grads Out Side the Hospital?

    CFitzRN replied to TinyNurse79's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I'm not really following. What are you asking me? (not being snarky, just not sure what you're asking

  21. New Grads Out Side the Hospital?

    CFitzRN replied to TinyNurse79's topic in General Nursing

    I was hired as a new grad at my local hospital's L&D unit. After weeks of suffering (I did learn but found the hospital to be incredibly oppressive), and trying to go from days to nights (I was...

  22. Exam question

    CFitzRN replied to psustudent5's topic in General Nursing

    I would say the most often-encountered "toxic" chemical would be the ingredients in Cavi wipes and spray. I honestly don't know what it is, but I know I use gloves every single time I have to use...

  23. Intimidating? ME?

    CFitzRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I typed the word f r i g g i n - not something worse, in my above post, hahahaha. It looks like I was being

  24. Clinicals

    CFitzRN replied to Lisa, MA's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't get all the up-in-arms posts here. She never said her years as an MA made her equal to an RN. She said it would help her in school, and it most certainly WILL. I wish I'd had that...

  25. Does any one know the answer to this??

    CFitzRN replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would have gone with Lemonade. The caffeine drinks are right out - a milkshake on a very hot day seems like a hard way to really hydrate. Lemonade - quick absorption and
