  1. What the what??

    Cessna172 replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    Had a classmate say eh-knee-muh for enema one day, thankfully he caught what he had said and quickly corrected himself. Ha

  2. i cursed somebody at work, somebody overheard and filed a complaint. what can i do?

    Cessna172 replied to willowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Snitches get

  3. Learning Pointless Things in Math Class

    Cessna172 replied to taylor9582's topic in General Students

    Geometry ...what the ???? I guess you might use the goniometer if you work ortho or something similiar (correct me if I'm wrong please). Sure angles are everywhere, so what, we're not in engineering....

  4. Have you ever seen this before?

    Cessna172 replied to SweetseRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember correctly, years ago my critical patient didn't produce urine after alot of lasix. I remember we gave bumex, which worked. Bumex is 40 times as potent as lasix, maybe that's why it...

  5. Urgent: need help with important project.

    Cessna172 replied to tiaranny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with you

  6. Urgent: need help with important project.

    Cessna172 replied to tiaranny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow, if you don't want to assist, then just don't. But what's up with the typical rude remarks and attitude? I once considered asking nurses on this board to participate in a survey as part of...

  7. Will I be able too survive nursing school?

    Cessna172 replied to ImScared2BANurse's topic in General Students

    Forgive me, but I can't get past your screen name which projects a lot of insecurity regarding your nursing future. Some people excel at different classes, while others are more challenging. One...

  8. Am I crazy, because this seems VERY WRONG...

    Cessna172 replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    14 weeks med surg at a nursing home is not med/surg. Why are you placed in a nursing home anyway? You need actual clinical hospital experience, of course that's my opionion, but you just don't get...

  9. Are you doing fecal transplants very often?

    Cessna172 replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    I laughed for 5 minutes at this...poor blender.

  10. Please take our burnout survey

    Cessna172 replied to SurroDoula's topic in General Nursing

    Done,

  11. Cyclical vomiting syndrome

    Cessna172 replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    Coincidently, I was reading about this condition last night in my pediatric diagnoses textbook. Much of this condition is similiar and possibly related to migraines. Forceful, frequent vomiting, up...

  12. The PROFESSION of Nursing

    Cessna172 replied to dzadzey's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow, what you are saying is not new, but is very insightful. You are right, in my opinion. Also many may disagree, but I feel nurses are viewed as noting more than the "blue collar workers" in...

  13. 2 new grads in charge?

    Cessna172 replied to DedHedRN's topic in General Nursing

    The co-worker will be in trouble before

  14. My CNAs dont seem to respect me...

    Cessna172 replied to CCFCP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I believe it starts with management. I work with some great CNAs and nurses, but we also know our boss expects certain standards. I work PRN for a local LTAC. Unfortunately when you advance, not...

  15. Anyone like/use Epocrates or other smartphone software?

    Cessna172 replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I use Skyscape suite? It's pretty good, but doesn't always have the med I'm looking for. It is handy, yet I refer to printed text also. The other day, an older doc saw me using it and chuckled at...

  16. Anyone ever worked in a hospital that had to evacuate

    Cessna172 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I meant I drove nurses, not

  17. Anyone ever worked in a hospital that had to evacuate

    Cessna172 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, during prep for hurricane Rita in Louisiana. Thankfully management actually did something smart, and sent our critical pts out the day before so we mainly had somewhat stable pts to worry about....

  18. Transferred to SICU, horrible orientation...what to do??

    Cessna172 replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I am almost in shock after reading this. My advice, for what it's worth is...do not work another shift with this preceptor! She is setting you up for failure and when your patient finally crashes on...

  19. impending Joint Commission Visit

    Cessna172 replied to ThisRNLovesToRun's topic in General Nursing

    Enjoy the "show", that's what it

  20. How are some nurses nurses?!

    Cessna172 replied to kellyjo's topic in General Nursing

    It's not like the OP made a big deal of it. Seems the point is that the nurse failed to acknowledge the patients complaint, and ignored her, without accepting that she herself could actually have...

  22. Supervisor upset because I have another job!

    Cessna172 replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Does she think she can dictate your life? You may not be there too much longer anyway, from the sound of her attitude. Good thing you have another job though, with better chances of remaining there...

  23. Classes?

    Cessna172 replied to iggy.minne's topic in General Nursing

    Look online for the college's catalog so you can see what they require, they should have a degree plan in there somewhere. Good luck

  24. reamed out for using soft wrist restraints

    Cessna172 replied to newnurse012's topic in General Nursing

    I almost can't believe that a nurse would advocate raising a patients O2 sat to record a good sat, then simply leave the pt, knowing the pt will certainly pull the O2 off and quickly desat, but I do...

  25. upset about teacher's clinical evaluation for last semester

    Cessna172 replied to pptnurse's topic in General Students

    Good, learn from your mistake and move on to other things. Get help when not sure
