    Dazglue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad (May 2011) and have been working on this unit for almost 2 months. Codes are somewhat rare and I always wondered how I would react to my first one. It's a SNF in a hospital (basically...

    Dazglue replied to EmmieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right now I work nine 8's. I hate it. I Feel so tired all of the time. Mainly b/c I work 3-11, which means I'm there by 2:45 and I don't leave to around midnight. All I want to do is sleep. We are...

    extra shifts

    Dazglue replied to wiley6coyote's topic in General Nursing

    Not a bit...especially if I am tired and have other obligations. Obviously your family is important to you and you know what is best. So enjoy your time with them if the hours are not

    Dazglue replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I only have problem with one of our CNA's. I wish she would either go to nursing school or shut it. She loves to write orders, and TRY to make me sign them off, tell me what to and not give pt as far...

    Dazglue replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

    What's an IO

    Dazglue replied to ErinBSN's topic in Emergency

    Up until last month I worked in the ER and never seen this done. I'm a new nurse and only learned about IO from reading my clinical skills book. We never discussed it in school. Also, it was discussed...

    white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    Dazglue replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    White under white? No way! If you're darker skin, you wear black under whites. If you're fair skin or white, then you wear flesh tone undies. I'm black and would NEVER wear white under white. I would...

    Dazglue replied to tempus fugit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
