That's what I get for trying to browse at work. I got stuck on the second page. Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BS. Hell, I've even got personal-use OTC stuff from the pharmacy while I was working. That's what OTC means. No RX necessary.

I work ICU and the last time I said it was quiet at work I ended up having to land a txf from PCU who rolled thru the door in Vfib with a belly full of peritoneal dialysate. Nope. Not saying it again. Luckily they had already been tubed and the inten...

In my Trauma/SICU we get a lot of closed head injuries which means bolts, paralytics, and frequent neuro checks. We're also the general surgical ICU (we have an 8 bed CV where all the hearts go) so we get lots of open bellies, complex wounds (no majo...

My unit is trialing enclosing the nurses station in glass to help reduce noise. It's actually working, and it looks nice because there aren't obvious seams, besides a few sliding windows like in a doctors office. Well, I'm walking past and my charge ...

I like the one that sounds like a def-con/nuclear missile alarm. Definitely enough to get me up and moving!

I just really love poop. j/k

A doggie! Oh, how I want a dog.

I was just licensed by PA and did not have to disclose anything voluntary. Fortunately I have never been involuntarily committed, but I don't even remember having been asked any questions about that. As everyone else has said it does change from stat...

Diet coke or diet dr. Pepper!! But really if its IV just skip all the flavor and give me straight caffeine.

That was one of the cutest videos about death I've ever seen!

I'm so glad we've never had fill-in-the-blank questions. My teachers base all of tests off the NCLEX test plan, and knowledge level questions like this one are never on them. You're teacher is being ridiculous about the order thing. It's neither head...

Honey badger don't give a s**t. I'd probably give my "spirit animal" though, a tiger. Big, orange, and lovely.

I only use the 10/10 scale because of charting, but rely more on the pt's description of the pain. Usually this works well, and I can give them a suitable med from their PRN list, it doesn't work well when the dr decides to prescribe based on the num...

Our terms are broken up into six units, each ending with an exam. Exams are dependent on the number of hours of material presented per subject. It's three questions per hour of material taught. A three hour lecture would have nine questions on that u...

Lemon-aid by Benefit is a great dark shadow concealor. The yellow tint works well to cover purple/blue shadows on fair skin. I've accumulated quite the stock of headbands and ponytail holders to keep the mess contained. I've sacrificed cute hair to p...

Drink.

Wow, you got hosed! Bookstores are great for doing that. :angry: They just made so much profit on you guys its ridiculous. I did a small research paper on profit margins in college bookstores and it's astounding how much a school makes in profit when...

I think most programs would accept danskos. The definition of a clog is a shoe made of wood, but it's also come to mean a backless shoe like a Croc. I would think that most programs would have nothing against a nursing shoe like the Dansko Profession...

You really, really don't want anything you can't wipe down with a bleach wipe. I've got so much yucky stuff on my feet duriing clinicals and at work it's ridiculous. I wore these for the past two years:Anywear Injected Clo in White from Anywears chea...

I think what you're doing is a little overboard for the basics but it's helpful when learning disease processes and interventions to be through. That's a lot of info to learn! Interviewing can really only be learned by doing IMHO. Just hit the basics...

I at least try and get pericare done on every patient when I work. What you've described is unacceptable and gross, gross, gross. I abhor doing bed baths but it really is for the best interest of the patient so I suck it up and get it done.

The Saunder's book, and Davis' books are great for studying. I really like Davis' Success line. It provides a nice bank of questions along with a complete rational along with some great test tips. It got me through gerontology (med surg part 1) and m...

Sometimes I get so busy I forget to pee! It's six hours into my shift and all of the sudden I'm like "I haven't peed in about eight hours, perhaps I should go." I honestly get so busy, or just so involved that I don't even feel the urge. I also don'...

Car, bike, or bus. Depends on my mood and the weather. I used to be completly dependent on the bus and that was horrible. I thought I could use the time to study but I get horribly car sick if I try to read in a moving vehicle. I also get bus sick if...
