    How do you deal with suspected addicts?

    pockunit replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have had 10/10 and I was not rolling around on the floor. I was doubled over, but not wailing or carrying on. Just because a pt is in pain doesn't mean you'll see over-the-top behavior with it....

    I Miss LTC

    pockunit replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unexpected knitting time? I hope to end up working hospice too. I agree, I think there's a certain personality that works well

    PERRLA, is it worth it?

    pockunit replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Students

    Obese children...my rant

    pockunit replied to Gently.me's topic in Pediatric

    I guess the dad and the kid can learn to cook if they don't like what she's making, huh? I refuse to let our kids' tastes dictate what we eat. Pockspouse and I make good food from good ingredients and...

    Who is worried about their first test?

    pockunit replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    Yep, the first one of the semester is always a doozy. How does the teacher write them? Does the lecture really reflect the knowledge we need for the test? Are they going to be written poorly so it's...

    ATI?

    pockunit replied to kynthiamoon's topic in General Students

    Our fees are built into our tuition, but $130 seems cheap. Do you get books, too? I take the practice tests several times during the semester so I can keep track of where I'm behind, and it pretty...

    Someone please help me with this Ped Dose Cal Problem

    pockunit replied to chicksy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    FWIW, you probably wouldn't round a peds dose, especially if it's on a pump. They'll toss those things at you on a dosage calc test to make sure you're reading

    shift organization....HELP

    pockunit replied to CrazyCatLadyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Could you switch your assessment time with your chart review, then stack meds and labs (if needed)? I don't know if it would save a ton of time, but every minute counts,

    Finally got a job just not how I ever expected.

    Minot is a cute little town. They have two symphonies! Try to live at the top of a hill, though. You'll have more wind but less

    Where do you sit in lecture

    pockunit replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Front row, closest to the door. Or back row, closest to the door. Whichever is closest to the door. I only do that for classes, for some reason. I don't care where the door is in any other situation....

    pockunit replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Hospice doesn't provide suicide assistance or euthanasia, so I fail to understand how anyone would have reservations about it. Besides that, if it's a specialty that we've developed because God...

    Textbook nursing vs. real world nursing.

    pockunit replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    How about this: the nurse on the floor performs a procedure in a way you would be failed for doing, but that's the classroom and this is the floor and you simply cannot do things on the floor the way...

    pockunit replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    My scrubs go into the washer when I get home so that they're dried by bedtime. I make my lunch the night before, whether it's extra from dinner or something lunch-specific. My keys and wallet go in...

    What are your nursing school uniform colors?

    pockunit replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students
