  2. vent/trach help!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Akeos's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the trach is turning when you turn the patient or perhaps the HME needs to be

  3. Med Error

    Five&Two Will Do replied to limey's topic in General Nursing

    I was a CNA and a good one at that. I do believe that intellectually I could have been trained for the "act" of passing meds with no trouble. As we all know and acknowledge, there is a lot more to...

  4. Catching an STD while examining patient

    Five&Two Will Do replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I am always amazed when I hear nothing in report about infectious disease and then realize only after IV start or blood draw that the patient has hep c or something. Thank God for standard...

  6. Never enough-vent

    Five&Two Will Do replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not give up yet. I worked on a tele floor that was very busy and at times it sucked tremendously. I have left work thinking I will never go back there. Continue to work hard and try to...

  7. A Matter of Respect and Dignity: Bullying in the Nursing Profession

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess some folks are just so darned insecure that they have to bully others at work to make themselves feel

  8. Zeroing the transducer...help?!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to cwhitebn's topic in MICU, SICU

    I always throw in a good flush to look for a plateau in my wave form

  9. Funny things patients say !

    Five&Two Will Do replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    Last night we were changing bed on a confused patient that had pulled off the EUD. We stood him up and my coworker noticed a reddened area on his butt. She wanted to apply coloplast. As she was...

  10. Help! Nursing care plan

    Five&Two Will Do replied to studentlearning10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with the rest of the posts here. We all hated care plans, but struggled our way through them with the help of BOOKS and lots of coffee. The purpose of the care plan is to teach you to think...

  11. Is it ever okay to wear

    Five&Two Will Do replied to TickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have always dressed in business attire for an interview. For me that is certainly a pressed shirt & tie. I will also wear a sport coat. I think that it tells the employer that it is important...

  12. Did I do the I'm injection correctly?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the volume of the injection, it is much easier to ensure delivery into the muscle in the deltoid. I always use 1.5in needle for

  13. Is she taking advantage of my RN license?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a tough situation. Some people say never do any sort of business with family so you can maintain a positive relationship. I would say that an employer would never tell her that you gave...

  14. Med Error

    Five&Two Will Do replied to limey's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 100% I still think that Boards of Nursing should rethink the idea of Medtech. There has got to be a certain level of critical thinking involved with medication administration, not...

  15. looking up a patients arrest records?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    People do make mistakes and should always have the chance to change their ways. That does not exempt them from the punishment for their crime however. Forgiveness is one of the most valuable things...

  16. Blood transfusion

    Five&Two Will Do replied to blessed02's topic in General Nursing

    I try to aim for the 175ml/hr rate if it is not emergent. With good access that is not a problem. When we get one of those fun massive GI bleeds, we have used pressure bags to pump it in as fast as...

  17. Anxiety after leaving work!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to NursePie's topic in General Nursing

    Long term care and the responsibility for all of those patients must be stressful. Changing jobs may help, but the stress and worry about missing or forgetting something won't change until your...

  18. Nervous about HIPAA

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Katie.Lee's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nursing school certainly made me paranoid! LOl but seriously as the others have said, just don't tell any of the identifiable info. I also would refrain from talking about patients while in the...

  19. Is this homeostasis

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good question. Homeostasis is acheived through multiple adjustments made by the various systems of the body. A good example of one of those adjustments can be seen with the respiratory...

  21. The waiting game..

    Five&Two Will Do replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    I have been trying to move to another city somewhere warmer. I have travelled there multiple times for interviews and still have not gotten a job. I hate waiting to hear about a job more than almost...

  22. Can an RN travel on an airplane with detox patient?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to heather8228's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that sounds like a great job. I escorted a psychiatric patient to Tampa one time. It was super cool until he did not like the facility where I was taking him and decided to take off. I ran...

  23. What can get you fired??

    Five&Two Will Do replied to kelsie*bear's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nursing is no different than any other place in that personalities clash. It is hard to deal with some of the nurses I work with. I have been working at this hospital for 7 years, and I get along...

  24. Exposed to flesh eating bacteria, scared

    Five&Two Will Do replied to chapsticknurse's topic in General Nursing

  25. neurosensory and fluid and electrolytes help?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For the neurosensory stuff, first learn your cranial nerves etc. We must grasp the A&P of the body and know what normal is before we can understand abnormal. As far as the ABG's, this is a...
