  1. How Do You Prime Blood Tubing?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even have a confrontation with her off the priming thing, I just let her do what she wanted because she is a know-it-all. Before this little priming snafu we go to verify the blood, and she...

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I've thought of this for my trauma patients, I will do this in the future, I knew the Y-tubing could be used for something else! Nice tip. Thanks for the clarifications ladies, she one of those...

    she just walked up to me as I had the primed tubing in my hand and was like no, no, no if you're patient has CHF 250 ml is too much to prime with, she then took it from me got two 100 ml bags of NS...

  5. How Do You Prime Blood Tubing?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses, because this fellow nurse made me feel dumb for priming it with a 250 ml NS bag because the patient was CHF (when indeed the patient was ESRD) but she was just running off at...

  6. Does This Sound Right To You?

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So around mid Febuary I was looking through my employers job listings. I noticed a opening for the cath lab (posted Jan 30). Wanting to get into a job that's alittle more calm (currently work in a...

  7. Keeping A Written Record Of The Patients You've Had: Good Or Bad?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My reasoning for keeping it wasn't really for legality, but moreso for administration. Plenty of times managers have approached nurses about something that wasn't done for x,y,z patient and sometimes...

  8. Why such high new RN turnover?

    All4NursingRN replied to Calder's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Does This Sound Right To You?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    No write ups in the past 6 months sounds more reasonable to me, but this is no write ups in the past year, and I've only been there for alittle over a year.

  14. Does This Sound Right To You?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    well anything less than getting my usual 12-14 patients, including critical patients where I work now is less hectic.

    All4NursingRN replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Nursing

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So the other day at work one of my co-workers (2 years out of school) was teamed with a nursing student. Now this particular nurse is still somewhat shaky about his skills- good nurse but not super...

  19. Really New York Presbyterian Really?

    All4NursingRN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I cannot stand this hospital's online application process. I'm just going to walk in. I even did my clinicals there too! Everytime I apply I get a rejection email/notice. So since I don't meet 110% of...

  20. Really New York Presbyterian Really?

    All4NursingRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in New York Nursing

    You still have to pre-qualify for their open interview day which completely defeats the purpose IMO! What's the point of having an open house day when you are still looking with a microscope. Better...
