  1. Anti-Hbs titer

    RelloydRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    RelloydRN replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    RelloydRN replied to sparklie.lady's topic in General Nursing

    Personal favorite is for me is LWW's Springhouse Nurse's Drug Guide. What I have now is the 2008 version and I have used this series since the 2003 version. Really easy to understand. I'd love to...

  6. Beating Stress post duty

    RelloydRN posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    What do you usually do to beat stress after a tiring duty? I would usually just go and sleep but now that I have my Wii, I'm being de-stressed by the Wii Sports Resort games. Do you go and watch...

  9. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    RelloydRN replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have not delivered babies after getting my RN license. I only got to deliver babies when I was in college. I think I'd be nervous if I'd be asked to help in-flight

  11. how come we as nurses are taught and do things differently?

    RelloydRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    We are all trained differently. The things that will unite us are the BON practice acts and the institutional standards and policies. No matter where you're from or what book you were taught in, we...

  12. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    RelloydRN replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Safety Glasses in the OR ???

    RelloydRN replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    This is a safety issue. Better to be safe than sorry right? Besides, would you use a power drill in your wall without wearing one (safety glasses)? You only have 1 pair of eyes, so take care of 'em...

  16. First complaint against me...

    RelloydRN replied to EMSnut45's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes it helps to tell them every little detail of what you are doing so they know you are actually doing it for them. This I learned from nursing school. Remember that the patient's family are...

  18. Calling to check on employment status?

  19. Hanging myself out to dry

    RelloydRN replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that you really should have followed the chain of command there. But I think to be written up for that is a little bit too much. She could have just warned you verbally about what you...

    RelloydRN replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that this is just Hollywood. But a lot of people do watch these programs that portrays our profession badly. If for example, a kid would watch this, a certain part of his belief would set a...

  23. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    RelloydRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you do if one of your co-workers have this "not-so-good-smell" going on with them? I mean those with strong body odors, that you'll get dizzy once you're beside them especially if they are...
