    You know how ppl ask you stuff b/c they know you're a nurse? This tops it all....

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I don't know how I would have handled that one! I am glad you got to do some teaching regarding

    In Her Shoes - Interesting Observation

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that as well. Most scrubs I end up with are huge sacks. The only top I ever found that somewhat flattered my figure was a princess cut that buttoned. It finally faded so badly I trashed

    Adolescent Pregnancy = Developmental Delay or Acceleration???

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my first at 16 and took to it very well! I did lose all of my friends but I think that was more due to me being married than anything. I didn't have the family support and I really wish I did. I...

    Aspirating for blood when giving injections to infants?....Have the rules changed?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Patient Medications

    The office I worked in routinely used the front of the thigh because that was where the muscle could be pinched up a little. Not saying it's right or wrong, just the access to the muscle was a little...

    No Doppler in OR - Management NO help!

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would be inclined to contact risk management on this one. If it got out that numbers were being made up, there'd be plenty of

    clinical simulation dummies

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Our school has a Sim man. He's a very good teaching tool! I do wish he could open his eyes, but he doesn't. I thought it would be neat if it had the ability to change pupil sizes, etc. The instructor...

    What De-Stress technique works for you?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The tanning bed works wonders for me! I also surf the net or sit and watch tv every great now and then. I also enjoy walking in the yard taking in the beauty of

    Insulin

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Momto2Boys's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Suzanne, is this a state thing? The hospital I work at doesn't require 2 signatures. Probably is a good idea

    anyone gone through JCAHO recently?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to ERERER's topic in General Nursing

    They did a mock code on one of the units at the hospital I work at. They did tell everyone it was going to be done, but it was originally thought it would be a hospital wide thing so everyone was...

    RN but not sure it's for you

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in Operating Room

    You must venture out to get any gain from this. Becoming a nurse is scary. I would definitely advise you to try it first. You could find a part time or prn (as needed) position at first to see how...

    Precipitous Birth care

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to zandra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    After experiencing 2 precip births of my kids, I can tell you there ain't no planning to it, lol! I'm not an OB nurse, so I won't offer any advice other than to always be prepared if this is your...

    huge juggling act with time as the enemy

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to joli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My advice would be to ditch the time schedule! I use a sheet with a box for each pt. If they have meds or FSBS, I circle that time in red and then check it off when it's done. Tryiing to adhere to a...

    America needs nurses? Doesnt look like it!

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Woman_in_love's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also am a believer in the idea of aggravating the snot out of HR, lol! I got my job I have now by calling the NM myself. I had previously applied online and she had never even gotten my app. By...

    how do you decide?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to lyallch's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You never really know for sure if the pt will tolerate it, but passing flatus (in my opinion, lol) is a very good indicator that you can advance the diet. She may not have a bm yet because she hasn't...

    Follow Up to Assignment Nightmare

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    At this point, I think I'd let it fly! You've been through a lot with them and you should let it be

    Lost It at Work!

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing. This person didn't want to listen and you were patient with them. Anyone would have lost their cool with that kind of

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to fishchick72's topic in LPN to RN

    Risk for falls related to decreased mobility AEB pain when moving knee, surgical procedure, etc. Depends on which your instructor will accept. The pain would of course be related to the surgery. FYI,...

    Texas catheter HELP!

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to jake8745's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of a quad not too long ago and we'd use foam tape to keep it on him, worked very well. Of course, he usually was semi at attention so to speak so putting it on wasn't difficult. Good

    Medicare and following diabetics

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to grannynurse FNP student's topic in General Nursing

    I once dealt with an employer maintained program like this when I worked at the office. This nurse asked about meds, bp, hgb a1c, etc. This pt was not new to their program either and as I recall the...
