  1. Doing a favor vs. being an RN

    Wow this is a tough subject. I think that I personally feel I am competent in my practice and confident in my assessment skills. Like a couple of others have said, I would be inclined to help my...
  2. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    LOL! Kinda makes "I forgot to put the seat down" not as bad as it
  3. Cleaner RN jobs

    I don't know I had a patient with a bleed in the stomach recently. Endo came in the middle of the night and scoped him, but there was so much blood in his gut that they could not find the bleed to...

    You are so
  5. Hold injection site with Lovenox?

    MicromedX says specifically do not rub site. It references the product information from Aventis to make this point. Proper administration technique is deep SubQ with the airlock that is already in...
  6. Gtcc fall 2012 what would you do?!! Help!!!!!

    I wonder what school you are going to attend. i am not familiar with gtcc, but I do know from my experience that I relied heavily upon my placement test scores to get in. How many students do they...
  7. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    Sorry that you have to deal with such a poor attitude. I think what you said happened certainly constitutes insuboordination. Probably one of those people that just hates RN's because they are...
  8. Full Time Nursing Student with a Full Time Job

    I worked full time as CNA while in nursing school. It was hard and I worked 12 hour shifts every weekend, but i did it and so can you. I just finally decided that if I wanted to be an RN, I had to...
  9. What Freaks You Out?

    I must say that I am not a real big fan of the pulmonary toilet, but the thing that is the worst of all to me is the vomit! When I worked oncology, it was very common for people to yak everywhere....
  10. Reference book

    Congratulations on the move! It's a wonderful thing working in the ICU. We did an online course by aacn which was very informative. It is called ECCO Essentials of Critical Care Orientation....
  11. Medical shows...

    I like house because some of the diagnosis and medicine behind their stories are true and interesting. I will say that nurses are not portrayed on TV very well at all. The females are belittled or...
  12. True
  13. Scared Pre-Nursing Student: Is Nursing as Bad as I Hear?

    Me too! I wouldn't mind pulling that kinda bank! Maybe if you want to go to the middle east and don't mind wearing bullet proof scrubs you could make that much
  14. First Code Blue on my patient!

    I remember when I was a CNA watching the code team work on a patient in our nursing home at the VA where I work. I was filled with anxiety and felt totally helpless yet the RN and RT and MD were...
  15. Well said indeed:yeah: I will always believe that nursing starts with the most simple of all tasks and basic patient care. It then builds upon itself ever growing and changing. It is a priviledge...
  16. Have you ever had the kind of day

    LMAO! Tough times come to all sooner or later. Those days are hard, but really hone the time management
  17. Ob to icu?

    I think that you should go. The only problem with specialty nursing is that its hard to move into something else after you do it for a really long time. The ICU is great. I love the intensity and...
  18. Question about Magnesium Oxide

    I do not know if MagOx comes in a solution, but if nothing else you couold ask for maloxx. Same amount of mag + the aluminum to help with the diarrhea it causes. I hate when things stick to the side...
  19. My shift got better.....Staff Massage's

    And where do your work? I must be in the wrong
  20. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    Everyone does not have the work ethic it takes to be a Nurse or CNA. The healthcare "team" is what takes care of the patient. We should not point fingers. Nicely put by
  21. All Nurses

    Having been a CNA for five years before becoming an RN, I can say that I expect caring compassion. For those hours when we are at work, we must put the patients' needs ahead of our own. Even when...
  22. My shift got better.....Staff Massage's

    A cup of coffee would be nice too! But then I would not be able to sleep when I get home. Oh well better just stick with the
  23. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    This sounds like a good setup. When I worked on the floor, the team nursing would allow for me to have responsibility for 8 patients. Some of them were quite sick and should probably have been on a...
  24. My shift got better.....Staff Massage's

    Where do you work? I need some of that
  25. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    I think that primary care is the best model for nursing. Others may not agree, but I like knowing everything that is going on with my patients. I worked on a tele floor before that use team nursing....
