    camay1221_RN replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

    Since the tag was deactivated to cut the band, and we did not re-engage the prongs until the tag was sterilized and a new strip was on, the alarm would not go off as long as the prongs were not...

  2. What do you bring home with you?

    camay1221_RN replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget all the pens from the many different drug companies!! I have also found I, inadvertently, brought home one of the security tags from a newborn I had discharged during my shift. Then,...

  3. Your Thoughts Requested

    camay1221_RN replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    No you see, as a pt, I am REALISTIC enough to realize that there are other pts than myself, and I wouldn't expect any 'special' treatment, or expect to have my RN kiss my butt for my every whim. I...

  4. Your Thoughts Requested

    camay1221_RN replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I HAVE worked on the floor, for five years! I certainly don't need a new grad of less than a year to tell me what floor nursing is about!! You and your DH seem to be the epitomy of what is wrong with...

  8. Your Thoughts Requested

    camay1221_RN replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember correctly, you were the one who put up the post asking what others thought, and now it appears you are being defensive at the advice you asked for. Orrnlori was't anywhere near alluding...

  10. kids and fevers....

    camay1221_RN replied to nurseunderwater's topic in General Nursing

    I do telephone triage and work for a group of pediatricians. Our protocol says to treat a fever of 102 or greater. That's very easy for me to say as a nurse sitting on the phone and not having to be...

  11. Your Thoughts Requested

    camay1221_RN replied to weezieRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked PP, we never allowed dads to be in the circ room. Mainly because, you just never knew which dad would be the one to lose it and pass out!!! The MD's and the staff need to focus their...

  14. At what gestation would YOU want YOUR baby saved?

    camay1221_RN replied to StacyC417's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would have to go with your numbers dansamy. Though it was never an issue with me, nor will it ever be. Heck none of mine wanted to come when they were

    camay1221_RN replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    My first pediatrician is a wonderful man and he is brilliant medically, but there was some parenting advice he gave me with my second child that just didn't jive with what I had done with the first....

  16. RN school harder than RT school?

    camay1221_RN replied to cvnd28's topic in General Nursing

    I have been contemplating school for RRT! I am a diploma grad, so other than the clinicals and some RRT specific classes, I can't help but think it would only take me a year or so to complete the...

  17. Forehead thermometer accuracy

    camay1221_RN replied to MiaLyse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't have any faith in the ear thermometers. Then again, maybe I just don't have any faith in the person using the ear thermometer! Either way, I don't think they are accurate. I work phone...

  19. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    camay1221_RN replied to ninaldunn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    camay1221_RN replied to ninaldunn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My husband used to tease me that I always wanted to get pregnant so I could go see my OB. He is only a couple of years older than I am, and he is terribly goodlooking! It really wigged me out at...

    camay1221_RN replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was taking care of an elderly gentleman during my last semester of nursing school who had c-diff. He told me he had to go to the bathroom, and since I wanted to change the pad on his bed while he...

  22. Nonreactive Hep B titre

    camay1221_RN replied to louloubell1's topic in General Nursing

    I had my Hep Be series the summer before I started nursing school, and titers, I think, at three or four months after that. My titers were fine, and I went along my merry way. A few years ago, I...

    camay1221_RN replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am also an office RN in a pediatric office. I have found my job to be so much more rewarding in the office for a multitude of reasons! First, I work for MD's who know me and respect me and my...

    camay1221_RN replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing
