  1. Why Nursing staff harm thier charges??

    brainkandy87 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Some nurses are just terrible people. It's like anything else. I finally had to report a nurse on dayshift (I'm nights) a couple weeks ago and now refuse to take pts from her. It was always something...

  2. Medicare Cuts and Future?

    brainkandy87 replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the health care law that will hurt health care employees, it's the people fighting it that will. All the cuts without any of the

  3. Things you'd like to say to your co-workers, but never would ....

    brainkandy87 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    1.) Stop talking bad about patients when giving me report. How would you feel if you heard a nurse talking bad about your mother to another nurse? These are human beings. Treat them accordingly, even...

  4. Help with isolation precautions for MRSA and C-diff

    brainkandy87 replied to medpsychRN's topic in Infectious Disease

    To the OP: yeah, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if they have active MRSA/C-Diff. At my hospital, we put them on contact isolation if they have active or just a history of...

    brainkandy87 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We've got these protocols in place at the hospital I'm working at. It's awful. Even when the pt falls within normal ranges, we are still replacing elytes "per protocol." Luckily a few of the...

  7. Anyone else have a problem with ear infections?

    brainkandy87 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so ever since I was a kid (ruptured ear drum), I've been really susceptible to getting ear infections in one ear. When I started nursing school, I noticed that after using my stethoscope even for...

  8. How much did your nursing education cost you? Worth it?

    brainkandy87 replied to resilientnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it cost me more socially than monetarily. I was either busy studying or too tired from studying to go do anything with my

  9. Which specialties are fast paced?

    brainkandy87 replied to teenmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated a couple months ago and have been working on a cardiac floor. I did my preceptorship in the ER as I loved the environment and fast paced action. Ended up not finding any new grad...

  10. HELP!! Cardio III or Classic II SE??

    brainkandy87 replied to tnt714's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had my Mom's old Classic II from the late 90's during nursing school and it worked great for school, but there was no way I could use it for work. For one of my graduation presents (almost two...
