  6. The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    AlaBro2010 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Students

    This! I don't like APA. I don't need APA formatting to express myself well. Many of my professors have a PhD, they tend to nitpick every single APA citation. It gets old. I had to write APA papers...

  7. Lidocaine with Rocephin?

    AlaBro2010 replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Emergency

    We give Rocephin mixed with Lidocaine also. The only time we give with sterile water is if they have an allergy to lidocaine or anything similar. We've always been told to use it to "ease the...

    AlaBro2010 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    I wear a giant g-shock male watch, it was left behind by an ex and I didn't have one. Free $100 watch and you bet I wear it. It's also waterproof so it can take a dip in some diluted bleach. If it...

  12. New Grad interested in School Nursing

    AlaBro2010 replied to KatherineAM's topic in School

    The only reason people mention to go to the hospital first is because it sort of opens that one year of required experience door for many many positions. It's up to you whether your willing to face...

  16. Giving injections to babies

    AlaBro2010 replied to Dragonstrike's topic in General Nursing

    Someone said it already, papoose! Ask your company if they will purchase one for you. It's a Velcro type blanket with a board in the back you can set the baby down on, wrap snugly and you can leave...
