  2. Unprofessional doctor

    CCL RN replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last year I was SOOoooooo bitter with work that I could barely stand it. I was in my room and a Dr came in and said something really stupid (IMHO, lol) that I briskly responded to in a very mean way....

  3. Care plan prioritization question!!

    CCL RN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Students

    When I did my care plans I never included pain as one of my priority nursing Dx. Unless I was desperate... there is always more to the story. I think of pain and infection as "easy" ways out... Pain...

  4. Trying to set up interviews for a visit, HELP!!

    CCL RN replied to baschaff's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yeah, but that applies to general nursing, not speciliazed fields like the cath lab. No new grad can compete with me for that job. And with the call requirements, once a job is posted it needs to be...

  5. Trying to set up interviews for a visit, HELP!!

    CCL RN replied to baschaff's topic in Washington Nursing

  9. range order rationale

    CCL RN replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. Good HESI score - should I bother studying for the NCLEX?

    CCL RN replied to Aarika's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I remember getting my att PDQ and taking my NCLEX ASAP. I got 1100 on my hesi, didn't study, and found the NCLEX way easy. It's your choice not to study, but the NCLEX is not really hard at all,...

  11. range order rationale

    CCL RN replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's great. However, a ban of range orders is *not* a myth, it's policy at my hospital. Policy. I cannot allow it on my order form. The pharmacy will not fill it. And if I allow the order to written...

    CCL RN replied to stellaRN1983's topic in General Nursing

    What did you see on the EKG? Remember that a 3 or 5 lead EKG will only look at the heart from so many angles. Acute SOB is indeed a symptom of an MI. What was he in for? What happened to your pt?...

  17. range order rationale

    CCL RN replied to sillygurl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The AEB must be the signs and symptoms that are showing or 'proving' your nursing Dx. A-fib doesn't always cause decreased CO. A s/s of decreased CO is the edema, dyspnea, and BNP
