  1. How would a government shutdown affect jobs in a nursing home?

    neuroms replied to b0rea1is's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A federal shutdown due to budget passage delays would be inconvenient in terms of access to services support/timely payment, but is much less worrisome than some other looming potentialities e.g....

  2. First day of clinicals .. does this get easier?

    neuroms replied to Neldavi's topic in General Nursing

    It's completely normal to feel nervous you're first go around, especially if you've never had medical experience, but you'll be fine. If you have the brains, nursing needs you and everything else will...

  3. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    neuroms replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Thank you for bordering incompetence. If you were a productive member of the team, who put as much effort into work as you put into complaining about other nurses, other shifts, management, old...

  4. What do you read to keep current?

    neuroms replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I second looking at sciencedaily.com's health sections to see what's coming down the pipe. But for the real deal, MedScape is the way to go. They offer a ton of specialty info and relevant news cycle....

  7. Not giving PRN's even though they are ordered?

    neuroms replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I think if the requested prn is medically safe per assessments, it should be given. It is the responsibility of a doc to decide the appropriateness of and initiate abuse protocols and attempting to do...

    neuroms replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

    Boo, you must have your feet in working order. Go get rx fluconazole--the definitive goto for hard to treat

  9. Need advice, please!

    neuroms replied to UFmomof2's topic in General Nursing

    Dido to canes. If it's still bothering you, tell the pt's social worker of your objective findings and she/he is in a better place to investigate across the

  10. No raise for us

    neuroms replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    You must work ER. You are awesome, but thick skinned sometimes. Remember, folks don't lose their jobs or take up the burden of poverty as a way of punishing you. If you know a person has come in...

  11. Did I make the right choice by going for my RN

    neuroms replied to Wolfless's topic in General Nursing

    You've got a bio B.S? I would suggest getting some lab certs and looking into various research positions. It's interesting

  12. Thoughts on patients and pain?

    neuroms replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    You certainly have a right to be concerned. Effective pain management has been shown to be one of the best ways to improve outcomes in a med-surg settings. If the NP truly suspects a specific patient...

  13. How do you de-stress?

    neuroms replied to fordgrl76's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Go running. Nothing revitalizes like a good long run, that delicious post-run drink of water and a nap. A small garden is also nice. Sunlight and dirt are nature's

  14. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    neuroms replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. student nurse needs ideas : Urinary Tract Infections

    neuroms replied to Airidis's topic in General Students

    I would also say to have her referred to a urologist for a cystoscopy. It could be interstitial cystitis, but I don't think there is a smell associated with it--possibly

  17. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Possible rheumatism, we need labs. Very interesting

  18. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Yeah, I hope you have a nice present for us when you get back from feasting!

  19. Responsibility

    neuroms replied to rossman59's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the client is still at the same hospital, I'd say the entire staff should be responsible. If the client is having anxiety about returning to his/her unit, then the rest of the staff...

  20. Studying nursing theory, came across Jean Watson

    neuroms replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    I think we're focusing on the wrong thing here. We shouldn't be worried about energy fields, they'll worry about themselves. We should be investing in universal health care...literally...how to care...

  21. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Yay! So, it was TEN. Was it drug-induced? Did she have to have any ongoing plastic work? I'm glad that had a good outcome, amazing

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    maybe the solution 40 mcg/ml and infusion 40 mcg/kg/hr, making the dose 2.4mg/hr. That's more like

  23. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    neuroms replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    That's just the infusion rate. You've only given two 2mg boluses. I think TEN and SJS are the same things, so that's not it. I'm glad the piperacillin was d/c. I would be watching for infection (also...

  24. Trouble with night shift since time change

    neuroms replied to Wondergirl0905's topic in General Nursing

    A 2008 Swedish study, Janszky I think, showed a link between daylight savings and MI. Be careful with your health please. Adjusting your circadian rhythm is extremely difficult, as you know, and the...

  25. how to cope with humiliation

    neuroms replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    If it's not job threateningly serious, take it in stride. Even put a positive face on it. Forget that you didn't do it (again, only if it's minor) and ask for possible areas of improvement, try to...
