  1. Dont want to get anyone in trouble

    cb_rn replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    No! Isn't that amazing? Nobody got hurt but I'm sure those people in the trailer were wondering what the hell kind of earthquake was happening in North Carolina at 2300! And it was all very quietly...

  2. Voicing an opinion

    cb_rn replied to cb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Hell no I didn't pick it I wish we could choose. It specifically asks me to discuss how I feel about abortion. This class is going to make for a long summer

  3. Online FNP programs

    cb_rn replied to guessdior's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are several online FNP programs, some do require trips to campus, but a lot of them are pricey. Keep in mind that you are going to have to find your own preceptor in most cases and there seem to...

  4. Dont want to get anyone in trouble

    cb_rn replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    OP this is a potentially dangerous situation. You should somehow make this problem known. I suggest anonymously to protect yourself from any retaliation, retribution, or gossip. Let me tell you a...

  5. Voicing an opinion

    cb_rn replied to cb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    It makes perfect sense. You've been very helpful. I need to remember that this paper is not nursing practice and its ok to actually express my opinion. I'm going to do a little "light" reading today...

  6. Voicing an opinion

    cb_rn replied to cb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Yessss, darned ethics classes. Its soo much worse than philosophy. You have some good ideas, I'm going to look into them but I feel like I'm just stalling. My guess is everyone else is writing these...

  7. Voicing an opinion

    cb_rn replied to cb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your input. I don't know that I'm overwhelmed with the topic, I just don't have anything substantial to add to a debate. Maybe I'm afraid to really examine the reasons for my...

    cb_rn replied to jctiabecerra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    omg. we're expected to do...patient care?! What is this?? OK, I am all for prodding patients to take care of themselves when they are able but labor is called labor for a reason. I have had 3 babies...

    cb_rn replied to NurseinNV's topic in General Nursing

  13. quit nursing after med errors?

    cb_rn replied to ris_03tdgz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OH NO, ANOTHER MEAN OLD NURSE PICKING ON A STUDENT! I find it interesting how expressing my opinion suddenly means that I "stuff a frog in cauldron" whatever the heck that means (I'm guessing that I'm...

  14. Why hospitals continue use incentive spirometry

    cb_rn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I always show patients my "Not so fun" game and tell them it is a way to see that they are taking a nice deep breath. I think assigning them a task to do on a specific piece of equipment gives it more...

  15. Shy new grad at work

    cb_rn replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I need to work nights with you --- everyone here drinks energy drinks and gets hopped up about 0300 and is loud and chatty and all I want to do is throw a chart at them sometimes! Ok not really, but I...

  16. The Skeleton Key

    cb_rn replied to EbonyBorn2Succeed's topic in General Nursing

    You're silly. :) I've never seen that movie but I remember the trailers. Battle voodoo? Why not? I do everything else. This made me laugh, I was thinking about this one little old man that had a...

  17. quit nursing after med errors?

    cb_rn replied to ris_03tdgz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did not intend to come off as snide and snotty, it was nothing personal to you but I do stand behind my original post, however if the wording was offensive, I do apologize for the wording. But I...

  18. got to give feedback about preceptor: AM CONFUSED ?

    cb_rn replied to newsupernurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its all about the wording, my dear. :) See post from classicdame above. Keep it focused on nursing processes and actions, not on

  19. What would u do?

    cb_rn replied to rnfromja10's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if funeral leave is FMLA but usually employers have protocols in place for close family members passing away. Even if they do not, it is very poor taste to not allow someone to attend a...

  20. HELP: quit LTC without 2 wk notice and ED treatened to report me to BON

    cb_rn replied to hgal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OP my dear, please quit stressing. She can report you all she wants but you aren't endangering residents to quit. If there is an RN to call for questions, she can come in and take the shift that you...

  21. What would u do?

    cb_rn replied to rnfromja10's topic in General Nursing

    I would not talk about this to anyone at work to avoid being drawn into the gossip. Since you did not actually hear the comment, this is not your battle. However, privately encourage this nurse to...

  22. quit nursing after med errors?

    cb_rn replied to ris_03tdgz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Uh? Are you a nurse yet? If not, I guarantee you will make errors. I hope you aren't as harsh on yourself as you are on OP. Not to mention, juggling 6 patients is way harder than being responsible for...

  23. CNL Masters vs BSN?

    cb_rn replied to cacurlytop's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Our CNL was the nurse manager's right hand (wo)man. Basically she got to enforce all the unpopular red tape that came down the administration pipe, deal with the docs, bed flow, chase us all around...

  24. Novice ER Nurse needs help please

    cb_rn replied to Lunar's topic in Emergency

    I find this a little insulting. Maybe some 23 year olds aren't mature but I know plenty of young 20s nurses that are damned fine preceptors. Myself included. Age hasn't got anything to do with...

  25. How far do you go with precautions...

    cb_rn replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    omg good for you. I had a vascular surgeon come in the room once and start unwrapping a bloody dressing with his bare hands. that's a little too old school for
