  1. lovenox..and coumadin

    rn undisclosed name replied to LisaRn21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to repeat what was said above, but, I did want to add that when we have patients going home on Lovenox they get sent home with the "Lovenox kit". It is from Lovenox and has a dvd to...

  2. Admitted I should step-down...your advice?

    rn undisclosed name replied to supernova004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First off I think the big problem is that you are going between so many different preceptors. I can't tell you how many different preceptors I had, however, only one was a bad preceptor. It makes...

  3. How will I ever handle a 5 pt load?

    rn undisclosed name replied to quinnila's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Believe it or not you will get there. It just takes time. I was saying the same thing you are. Granted I am only in my 10th week of orientation. I never thought I'd be able to do 5 patients and I...

  4. Job Hunting - I don't understand

    rn undisclosed name replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing

    Now I agree with a lot of what you say but the statement about how the employer is doing the applicant a favor...please. I think that reasoning is totally backwards. I personally wouldn't want to...

  5. Advice Please! A cna spread a rumor about me.

    rn undisclosed name replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    I had always been told that before you need to follow the chain of command you need to start with the person involved. Then if you're not happy start using the chain of command. If I went to my...

    rn undisclosed name replied to hemlok2's topic in General Nursing

    I love the days there is a male nurse working on the unit. It seems to cut down on the cattiness that is normally present among certain

    I also had a patient who was being started on TPN yesterday because even though she can eat she was getting extremely nauseous (sp?). She had c. diff and everytime she had to go to the bathroom she...

    rn undisclosed name replied to AliciaMarieGPN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been wearing Dansko shoes for about 6 weeks and I love them. Before I had them my hips would ache and now I don't have any problems with my hips. My feet never hurt me either. There are many...

  9. Working with a preceptor

    rn undisclosed name replied to Chiefy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From reading the posts above it sounds to me like you're doing what you should be for just starting. You said you've only been on the floor for a couple of hours. If you're only on the floor for a...

  10. Hospitals operating as methadone clinics???

    rn undisclosed name posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse and I was curious about methadone. I have never given it and until recently didn't realize it was given in hospitals (except in psych hospitals for withdrawal) but I looked it up in...

  11. After you pass the NCLEX

    rn undisclosed name posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    at what point can you work legally? Do you have to pay your fee to the state and once the check clears you are legal. I just don't want to get in trouble and I'm not sure who to

  13. Do you keep your nursing books?

    rn undisclosed name replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Students

    Umm, no offense or anything but I'd have to agree with you that you're a little delusional. But, hey, it's a nice thought to think you could go through all that stuff.:chuckle I am only in first...

  14. Need advice: leakage for test questions

    rn undisclosed name replied to aruray's topic in General Students

    I don't see why you're so upset. Those who don't study from the book and only from nclex books will only hurt themselves in the long run. I would never study just the question. Sorry I'd want to...

  15. Diamonds in school?

    rn undisclosed name replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    Why would someone even want to wear something like that to clinical. You're there to take care of someone - who cares if your jewelry is on. I wouldn't want to risk bringing something home to my...

    rn undisclosed name replied to kimhaw's topic in General Students

    I usually have oatmeal. I never do the instant stuff and really it only takes a couple minutes to cook it up. I usually throw in 1 tbsp honey with some raisins. I also have some oj or milk to go...

  18. have you started becoming anal about things?

    rn undisclosed name replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    Oh yes I am anal about the written and spoken word (thanks to my mom when I was growing up). I don't mind an occassional slip up but when someone consistently speaks or writes incorrectly it bothers...

  19. May be coming back!!!

    rn undisclosed name replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Tinley Park is not an ok suburb. It is a LOT better than ok. Yes I do live there and wouldn't have chosen it if it was JUST ok. In fact it is a lot better than a lot of other south Chicago suburbs....
