  1. Post-Op patient question

    Roseyposey replied to truckinusa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Depends on the situation and the patient. Is there more

  2. Has anyone ever been to the National Student Nurses Association convention before?

    Roseyposey replied to anthonyadominic's topic in General Students

    I went many years ago. I was part of our nursing class student council, so the school paid for most of my expenses. I probably would not have gone otherwise. It is fun to meet other students, but...

  3. Pls HELP!! Confused, Am I understanding this right?

    Roseyposey replied to scrlet's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The a-fib question has been answered much better than I can explain, so I am addressing the lack of surgical history. If your patient is a reliable historian ask your patient! Sometimes I think...

  4. help with ISBAR please?

    Roseyposey replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is a school assignment, right? I can only speak to how I give a hand-off report, so it may not be what your instructors are looking for. We use SBAR at my job, is the "I" "introduction"? If...

  5. Ethical Question About Pacemaker

    Roseyposey replied to Nursingbride12's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    You saw something the rest of the team had overlooked, and you were not afraid to advocate for your patient. You sound like a great nurse, and if I would want you taking care of

  6. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    Roseyposey replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are you sorry you did it or sorry you got

  7. Please clarify allergies for me.

    Roseyposey replied to pa715's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know of any shellfish/Sulfa connection, but I learn something new every day! Sulfa and PCN are very common allergies, so they may be worth asking about if not

  8. Bedside report

    Roseyposey replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I can see both sides of this argument. The big upside I can see to bedside reporting is that both nurses are laying eyes on the patients at the same time. I know that many times over the years,...

  9. Role of a PACU nurse?

    Roseyposey replied to born2circulateRN's topic in PACU

    Versed is a PACU nurse's friend. - Actually, I very rarely give Versed in the PACU 1. What is the nurse patient ratio? Depends on the day and patient. Airway in place is 1:1; otherwise it is usually...

  10. What are some personality traits needed to be a great nurse?

    Roseyposey replied to KayyyT's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take yourself so seriously. Don't sweat the small stuff. Realize that NOBODY, including yourself, is perfect. The ability to rise above your environment. The ability to make the decision to...

  11. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    Roseyposey replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    Wow. I guess I pick my battles more carefully. I guess I am spineless as I would take the path of least resistance, especially when it comes to a child. Look at all of the energy you have expended...

  12. Whoops...left PACU and REALLY missing it!!!!

    Roseyposey replied to Sugamama's topic in PACU

    just noticed how old the original post is!

  13. Whoops...left PACU and REALLY missing it!!!!

    Roseyposey replied to Sugamama's topic in PACU

    I would definitely go back to the PACU if you were happier there, especially if you are not going to apply to CRNA school. Also, albeit slowly, some PACUs are starting to use nurse practitioners, so...

  14. Help with clinical goals

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the

  15. Angry Nurse here!

    Roseyposey replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He stole from you. Make a complaint to

  16. Pay vs. specialty

    Roseyposey replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital starts new grads at $25/hour. The only areas that are lower are the hospital-owned doctor's offices, which ironically, don't take new graduates - I guess that's the trade off. There are...

  17. Am I doing the right thing by quitting Nursing School? Advice please!

    Roseyposey replied to Olive_Juice's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you need treatment for your anxiety regardless of your decision. If you are looking for someone to give you the "ok" to quit school, you won't get it from me, because frankly it doesn't...

  18. Medicating PONV vs. watchful waiting

    Roseyposey replied to wannabecnl's topic in PACU

    I too try to be quick to medicate for nausea - if I have an order for Zofran and none was given during surgery, I will generally give it before the nausea starts. If that is ineffective, out comes...

  19. Help with clinical goals

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is just Adult I/Older Adults. This is my first rotation, and I am fortunate to be in an all nurse practitioner, family practice clinic (on my own for finding placement). They see all types of...

  20. Prescriptive Authority for Nurse Practitioners

    Roseyposey replied to lazer31285's topic in Advanced Practice

    Interesting that per the CDC, Florida has the highest per-capita sales for prescription pain killers - all prescribed by doctors, right? Hmm, maybe there's a lot of money to be made in writing these...

  21. why did you pick the speciality you are in?

    Roseyposey replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in some very different nursing settings - public health, urgent care, med/surg, private ASC, now PACU. I didn't have a clue in nursing school what I wanted to do. I have been fortunate...

  22. Do you call the doctor at night for low B/P's on night shift?

    Roseyposey replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If this person is running 90/60 every night, I absolutely would not call the doctor. Always assess your patient and consider their normal. Also, did they receive anti-hypertensives at bed time? Are...

  23. Trend in incident reports

    Roseyposey posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed a disturbing trend and what I consider misuse of my hospital's incident reporting system. I am sure all hospitals have something like this, and I have personally used it to document...

  24. best excuse of the day

    Roseyposey replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    Teen's mom drags them in for a drug test, which is positive for THC. "it's all of the vitamin water I have been drinking lately." Yup, couldn't have been all the pot they have been

  25. Trend in incident reports

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should add that this was a telephone exchange - there was nothing inappropriate said, I heard the offender's side of the conversation. It literally was "I can't take report right now, I...
