  1. Is it possible

    All_Smiles_RN replied to BNKSYRR's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That sounds like a neurovascular problem. How recently was your surgery? I would definitely recommend reporting those symptoms to your surgeon immediately. Take care.

  2. how did you KNOW you were meant to be a nurse...having a conflict!

    All_Smiles_RN replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought.... There is a shortage of nursing teachers. Maybe that would interest you once you get some experience under your belt as an RN? Good luck in your studies and your decision....

  3. Amenorrhea- HELP

    All_Smiles_RN replied to SJM730's topic in General Nursing

    TNNurse is right... I experienced the same thing. I was on BC pills for 5 years and when I stopped I didnt have my menses for several months. It wouldn't hurt to mention it your Doc though. Take care....

  4. Book Smart or Common Sense?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to GWENLYN18's topic in General Students

    This post hit home with me. I'm on the other side so to say. I guess no matter which side of the fence you're on, insecurity is part of the game while you build self confidence in your nursing...

  5. Central Florida hospitals

    All_Smiles_RN replied to BETSRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Jennerizer, we're at the same hospital. :) I'm doing my clinicals there right now (orange city) and am going to be working as a PCT until I graduate. Wonder if we've crossed paths.

  6. Taking Care of yourself.

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Mccm219's topic in General Nursing

    By taking care of myself, I drink water almost exclusively, I eat plenty of fiber and complex carbs, I get a good nights sleep,I exercise a few times a week, I get regular health exams, I am forever...

  7. Any nursing tatoo's?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to MacERRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a cross with a sunflower wrapped around it. I'm really wanting another, but not sure of what. A nursing one would be cool.

  8. Pregnancy and chemical exposure....

    All_Smiles_RN replied to najahlei's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I decided to err on the side of caution. When I was taking Anatomy & Physiology, I found out I was pregnant. Whenever we did dissections, we were exposed to formaldehyde (spelling?). I...

  9. Can diastolic be higher than systolic?

    All_Smiles_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can this happen? An acquaintance of mine is in the hospital for possible DVT and her BP is supposedly 112/120. Quick history, just recovering from a DVT turned PE released on coumadin therapy. It was...

  10. BPH stands for?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much! You all are the greatest. :)

  11. BPH stands for?

    All_Smiles_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. Quick question, what does BPH stand for? It was listed in a pt's medical history that I am researching, but not sure what the letters stand for. Thanks for any help.

  12. Can diastolic be higher than systolic?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No I'm not there taking the BP. This is info relayed to me on the phone. I told her to the best of my knowledge, it seemed that those numbers had to be wrong. I just wanted to double check myself on...

  13. Can diastolic be higher than systolic?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I thought... someone must have inverted the numbers.

  14. How to stay calm if your child is ill?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm certainly not a seasoned nurse, but as a mother myself, I can tell you that your reaction is typical of what I would expect of myself. We're moms first, nurses second (well student nurse for...

  15. For those with questions regarding convictions

    All_Smiles_RN replied to gn04's topic in General Nursing

    Honesty does pay off. Good luck on your job

  16. Having Problems finding pulses

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Since we're talking about pulses, any tips on finding the femoral?

  17. Do you carry a clipboard

    All_Smiles_RN replied to luvdancink's topic in General Nursing

    I carried a clip board until my clinical instructor warned me that I could be bringing bacteria from one pt's room to the next. Plus on the few occasions that I've forgotten where I've placed it, I...

  18. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    All_Smiles_RN replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Every area is different. In FL, pretty much the bottom of the totem pole, lol, starting pay for new grads is between $18-$20/hr.

  19. desperate to learn Spanish

    All_Smiles_RN replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    Take some time off, fly to Spain, and enjoy yourself for a few months while learning the language. Wouldn't that be nice? Now back to reality, lol. Maybe take a conversational spanish class as an...

  20. Pt right to refuse

    All_Smiles_RN replied to xmaxiex's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you about the nursing home neglect advertisements by lawyers. Just ridiculous. Frivolous lawsuits seem to be part of American culture. Something has got to change. Sorry, got a little off...

  21. Implanted Chip Approved for Human Use

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I think the whole idea of implanting chips in humans is a bad idea. The concept, if used only for medical emergencies, would be a great tool in healthcare. But the invasion of privacy risk is far to...

  22. Proper use of cane

    All_Smiles_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Real quick, when you're instructing a client on the proper use of walking with a cane, do they hold the cane on their weak side or strong side? And which do they step with first? Thanks so much, I...

  23. Proper use of cane

    All_Smiles_RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I did a search on this forum and couldn't find the answer. So I did some research and decided to post the answer to my own question. Hopefully this helps someone else out later on down the line. A...

  24. How to get pen marks off white uniforms

    All_Smiles_RN replied to leisa22's topic in General Nursing

    I was about to suggest hairspray myself. Looks like it is a consensus here. :)

  25. Is there nursing after 50?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Malt123's topic in General Nursing

    As you may already know, there is a shortage of nurse educators. If you're concerned about the physical aspect of day to day nursing, perhaps this is something you could consider. What better way to...
