  1. My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    CCL RN replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Followed the whole thread, and I would love an update

  2. Can NPs do bedside nursing?

    CCL RN replied to Mrs. Sparkle Pants's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I've worked with several NPs who work PRN in the

  3. Versant or the money?

    CCL RN replied to Aloha RN3's topic in Nursing Career

    Meh...verdant ain't all that. An after your first year of experience, nobody cares what your new grad training was. Nobody. My critical care classes were offsite for 8 weeks. I've never had a SOUL ask...

  4. Tubex

    CCL RN replied to robbiewil's topic in General Nursing

    Huh...I never found them useful. I always threw mine away when they were given out. I cant see a need for them at all. I guess I should have kept them all and sold them on

  5. IV drip dose error

    CCL RN replied to babbu's topic in MICU, SICU

    Next time, just bolus the pt w/50mcg for the turn. If the pt had woken up and extubated himself-then you bet it would have been a big deal. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from

  6. TPN thru a peripheral line?

    CCL RN replied to ripcurl1's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is 4 years old-but here ya go.. I missed the "hysteria". Sounds like everyone in this old thread knew what they were talking about, since they were quoting their own hospital policy. 1....

  7. BS!

    CCL RN replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    I completely

  8. BS!

    CCL RN replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    I love

  9. Where Did the Nursing Shortage Go?

    CCL RN replied to rockabye's topic in General Nursing

    The issue is this: we are in a tough economy right now. Nurses are still needed. New grads are not. Hospitals are trying to cut costs, and new grads are expensive and risky. I forgot what the...

  10. nurses intubating newborns

    CCL RN replied to gunverferth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I've ever seen a CRNA intubate a neonate, come to think of it. But then again, CRNAs are few and far between. I work in a teaching facility, so we rarely use them at

  11. Why keep NG tube in for hydration only?

    CCL RN replied to Katherined's topic in General Nursing

    Editing for clarity, and bolding my own... I couldn't agree with you more. Some of the most ignorant to hospice care are MDs. In the ICU we would extubate and Withdraw care, but leave IVF and DHT?...

  12. nurses intubating newborns

    CCL RN replied to gunverferth's topic in General Nursing

    I work per diem with a Transport RN and she intubates neonates frequently-and quite successfully to boot :) Yep. A regular ol'

  13. Telemetry nurse duties

    CCL RN replied to finallyRN7's topic in Cardiac

    Why would the hospital hire you then? Think about it. What point is a nurse who doesn't do hands on care in a hospital (they are called managers). Bedside nursing requires hands on care. Thats what...

  14. I feel guilty in canceling my extra shift...

    CCL RN replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    lol. Fire her for what exactly ? Find a replacement for her cancellation...did you read? Her unit census dropped. No coverage needed for HER unit. Staffing a hospital is up to the hospital, not...

  15. Telemetry nurse duties

    CCL RN replied to finallyRN7's topic in Cardiac

    The monitor tech stares at the monitors all day. You would nurse cardiac patients requiring telemetry monitoring. Didn't you do clinicals in

  16. Cardiac nursing questions

    CCL RN replied to Ciale's topic in Cardiac

    You live in a poor paying state. I made more than $30/hr after just 2 yrs experience. Again, speciality didn't matter. The Baylor plan is completely different. Has nothing to do with any specialty....

  17. Cardiac nursing questions

    CCL RN replied to Ciale's topic in Cardiac

    Nope. I can't agree with that. In fact, cardiac nurses don't even compare with what CRNAs make! In the hospital, floor nurses seem to make the same, regardless of specialty. The difference is years of...

  18. Tell them I'm pregnant?

    CCL RN replied to RockRay's topic in General Nursing

    Like everyone else, I say...don't mention it.

  19. Not giving PRN's even though they are ordered?

    CCL RN replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I do need a hug... Sorry for the attack, but I'm sure as a psych nurse, you are familiar with those who strike out when they are hurting. Although, I sure could still ue the

  20. Not giving PRN's even though they are ordered?

    CCL RN replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I had a shift from hell today. I'm trying to decide if I leave nursing, or move far, far away from everyone. Literally, run away! Our financial and work problems are almost overwhelming... I could...

  21. Amiodarone education

    CCL RN replied to bnaiya's topic in Cardiac

    That's obscenely

  22. I don't get why you have to become a RN first ?

    CCL RN replied to xInspiredx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You don't 'learn' experience in nursing school. You 'gain' experience through

  23. If you could do it all over.....

    CCL RN replied to GeminiRN2007's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish I could give you more than one 'kudo' for this post. I'm 5 years in...and I wish I chose something else. Something less...um...bipolar. Emotions of the workplace ebb and flow. Sometimes you...

  24. ventilators vs ambubag

    CCL RN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Well said

  25. Kennedy Terminal Ulcers

    CCL RN replied to CANRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm in the west as well, former ICU nurse here, and we've called them KTU for
