  1. Need help fast - have paper due

    pippylockstocking replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the ideas... I ended up going with Written Instruction for Medication Management in the Older Adult... Best I could come up with since I am sick with a headache and my 2 year old won't go...

  2. Calling out sick. How much notice?

    pippylockstocking replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    The first hospital I worked at it was 2 hours across the board. The hospital I work at now it is 4 hours for evening shift and 5 hours for night shift. It's pretty

  3. Day 2 anxiety attack, is it the end of the job?

    pippylockstocking replied to mamaames's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement... the clinic I am a patient at has changed management 3 different times since I started there in 2008. I have seen 2 different therapists and...

  4. nursing interventions in adult health

    pippylockstocking replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi again :) Now you got me stumped. What do you mean by clamping of foleys with large outputs after they are inserted? Is this one of those old school nursing techniques? I never heard of it. So I...

  5. nursing interventions in adult health

    pippylockstocking replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey :)) That is actually a really great topic. I was too tired earlier, and my 2 year old woudn't go to bed. So my medication topic was the best I could think of. I like your topic much better...

    pippylockstocking replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. nursing interventions in adult health

    pippylockstocking replied to pippylockstocking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I guess I should have been more specific. I know what interventions are. I have been an RN for 4 years. I just couldn't nail down a topic that interested me. At times, EVERYTHING interests me in...

  9. Calling out sick. How much notice?

    pippylockstocking replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    It could depend on the place that you work. I've already called of way in advance thinking I was doing the right thing, but they didn't like that. They thought it was suspicious. I guess they think...

  10. ADHD nurse and Adderall

    pippylockstocking replied to angeleyes123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I just wanted to add that since Adderall is a stimulant, it shouldn't impair you anyway. Meds that impair would be those that cause drowsiness, or things like narcotics. I too was on a stimulant for...

  11. Bipolar/Mental Illness and Board of Registered Nursing

    pippylockstocking replied to laniw44's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Wow! I didn't know the board of nursing could do that. What is a "Diversion" ? I'm unfamiliar with that. I don't see why it would be cause to lose your license. Aren't all americans supposed to...

  12. Day 2 anxiety attack, is it the end of the job?

    pippylockstocking replied to mamaames's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I wanted to say that I really understand how this Nurse feels. If also I may ask a question? There have been times where I want to leave the unit as well. I feel like I want to cry, and tell myself...
