    himilayaneyes replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

  2. Twilight Zone Phone Call

    himilayaneyes replied to mom4josh's topic in Nursing Humor

    himilayaneyes replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're already in the BSN program. I say stick with it. I did the BSN program and know people who did the ASN program. It seems that once you add up all the time for the prereqs and nursing...

  6. Taking BP on pt. with pacemaker

    himilayaneyes replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    From what I learned it doesn't matter which arm you take the blood pressure on if the pt has a pacemaker. It's different if the pt had a mastectomy or an AV fistula...but never heard anyone mention...

  7. Need help with ECG interpretation

    himilayaneyes replied to GQGomer's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm an ICU nurse..but that's still a little too technical for me. I just know how to interpret it and how to treat it. Your best bet would be to ask an EPS doctor or look on an EPS

  8. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    himilayaneyes replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. before nclex

    himilayaneyes replied to abey philip's topic in General Nursing

    First please know that the hospital will by no means help you with NCLEX. NCLEX is the nursing if it there was a perfect world. In the hospital, you'll be seeing how it's really done...and most of the...

  10. How can I get OUT of Med Surg and into ICU, ER??

    himilayaneyes replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Well everyone knows what unit is a fit for them...personally I can't take the floor anymore...so I went to the unit to have less patients. If you feel like you're going to get axed, better to resign....

  11. Help! Possibly pregnant and new job??

    himilayaneyes replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Follow your doctor's advice about the lifting...during the 1st trimester shouldn't bother you too much. I wouldn't tell them I was pregnant. Take the job, finish your probation, THEN GET FMLA....very...

  12. Turf wars may have cost me my dream job

    himilayaneyes replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    Never badmouth the manager to HR when you don't have the job and aren't off of probation yet. Keep applying to other places in the meantime. Follow up saying that you appreciate being considered for...

  13. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    himilayaneyes replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's so true....everyone and their mother is a nurse. You talk to them and find out their a CNA or hospital secretary. RN is definitely a title you bust your butt to earn. The funny part is that if...

  14. Visiting nurse: questions

    himilayaneyes replied to girlleyla's topic in Home Health

    Well it depends what type of nurse will you be? Will you just be visiting to give a shot and leave or will you be with the patient for 8 or more hrs? Would I recommend it for a new grad...no....b/c...

  15. Nursing - no other job is quite like it.....

    himilayaneyes replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    That's great...it reminds us that what we do actually does affect people. Most of the time on the floor you don't feel that...and nurses definitely aren't respected today....but at the end of the...

  16. Nursing Diagnosis

    himilayaneyes replied to healthstar's topic in General Nursing

    Look up NANDA. There are tons of books out there for nursing diagnoses and care plans. I already paid my homework dues...time to pay yours. I also suggest that you don't rant and rave at experienced...

  19. PEG Tube to suction..

    himilayaneyes replied to RN2114's topic in General Nursing

    I personally have seen PEG tubes to suction...but few and far between. It's not something that's done on a regular basis. At the end of the day, you have to follow the MD's orders. If you don't feel...

  20. Why I love allnurses ... seriously

    himilayaneyes replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

  21. Why do doctors office pay nurses pennies to work for them?

    himilayaneyes replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

  22. New grad RN (on F-1 visa) looking for jobs

    himilayaneyes replied to VNRN's topic in General Nursing

  23. 4th day off of ED orientation...what have I gotten myself into?

    himilayaneyes replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

    Definitely sounds like the new grad blues. We all sing that same sad song when we get our first job. It takes a long time to get over it. It takes a year or more for a nurse to become competent. I...

  24. What jobs in healthcare are most satisfying?!

    himilayaneyes replied to livefaithhope's topic in General Nursing

    There aren't a lot of jobs in healthcare that are low stress and high paying. However, out of all the ones you listed...I'd say go for Occupational Therapy...the OT people never looked that stressed...

  25. To do the phone interview or not

    himilayaneyes replied to Lululi's topic in General Nursing

    If you live far, then do the phone interview. If they want a 2nd interview, go in person. Of course, having a face to associate with the resume ups your chances of getting the
