  1. Would the hospitals even hire me?

    SCRN1 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    When I started at the hospital a year ago where I work now, I was in orientation with a woman who was in her late 50s and had not worked as a floor nurse in about 25 years either. She had never...

  2. What makes you drag?

    SCRN1 replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a 32 bed orthopedic floor in a major hospital here. In addition to orthopedics, we get A LOT of med/surg/psych overflow. It's not uncommon to have about 8 patients with over half of them...

  3. Baby cant Burp, any ideas why?

    SCRN1 replied to Auds's topic in General Nursing

    I would insist on being seen and would probably go to another pediatrician because I'm sure I would've lost confidence in this one because of making me feel like they were brushing my concern off. It...

  4. What makes you drag?

    SCRN1 replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Therapy dogs....what do you think?

    SCRN1 replied to LeashRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen it, but I have heard that these dogs do great wonders with patients, especially the lonely ones. I know firsthand that anytime something has made me sad, mad, lonely, etc., all I have...

    SCRN1 replied to CNMtobe2012's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious...to those who don't use hemostats, how do you remove sutures or do you not work in an area where you have to do that? What do you do when the IV tubing is screwed on too tight? To...

  8. Question re: carpal tunnel and nursing

    SCRN1 replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    I have CTS, but haven't had surgery...yet. I have had a shot of cortisone and can have it one more time, if needed. I'm putting that off as long as I can since the next step after that will be the...

  9. What would you have done?

    SCRN1 replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing. Back to what someone else stated...do you not have to have 2 nurses to check before chemo is given? Does your pharmacy not label each bag with the patient's name,...

    SCRN1 replied to Salus's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that there are advantages & disadvantages to EVERY job I've ever had. When you see me complaining on here, it's just to get a little grumble off my chest so I can get past it and...

  15. Nursing Supplies

    SCRN1 replied to CNMtobe2012's topic in General Nursing

    They are hemostats. Can you get them from your school's bookstore? If not, or if you don't see them on the internet, you may want to check at a nursing uniform shop. I think I've paid anywhere from...

    SCRN1 replied to Angela Mac's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I liked your comments too, Mike. :rotfl: This is one reason I like working nights...don't have to deal with social workers. If I have a patient who is asking for something that doesn't take...

    SCRN1 replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Even though it has it's ups & downs (as MOST kinds of jobs do), I really do enjoy nursing and wish I'd started right out of high school. I wanted then to either be a nurse or a teacher,...

    SCRN1 replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school when my baby entered 1st grade. The hardest part for me was not being able to spend as much time doing fun things with my family as I had been accustomed. They didn't...

  20. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    SCRN1 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    SCRN1 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize if I rubbed anyone the wrong way with this post this morning. That was not my intention. I guess I'm a little extra sensitive right now. A very good friend passed away. The visitation...

    SCRN1 replied to allevi's topic in General Nursing

    It can be accessed at the secretary's computer only, but I never have time to use it. We have inTRAnet where we can look up things like meds if needed. I've used that a couple of
