  1. How Do I Calculate Intake and Output?

    JSlovex2 replied to onlyj's topic in General Nursing

    Output can also be vomit. If a patient vomits, I don't measure it - but I do chart "emesis basin x2" or however many times they

  2. setting alarm clock to take pain meds?

    JSlovex2 replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    same here. i had the same exact situation -tried to be superwoman the first time, hardly took meds, and "toughed out" the pain. the second time, i'd wake up and take my meds and it helped so much to...

  3. How valuable is speaking Spanish in health care?

    JSlovex2 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    i agree that it depends on where you live. where i live i can go months without having to use the "language line." i don't think that NOT knowing spanish would keep anyone in my area from ever finding...

  4. Cleaner RN jobs

    JSlovex2 replied to kyonguyen22's topic in General Students

    i agree. most nurses that get/have the jobs that don't involve bodily fluids have put in their time dealing with them already. i think it IS fair to say nursing might not be for someone who really...

  5. Scared Pre-Nursing Student: Is Nursing as Bad as I Hear?

    JSlovex2 replied to Ivy Black's topic in General Nursing

    seriously - 50 bucks an hour x 12 hours. hmm......i'm thinking 600 bucks a day is pretty dang on worth

  6. Calling residents affectionate names?

    JSlovex2 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    i totally think this should be considered on a case by case basis. also, i think people are forgetting that the OP said she was referring to LONG TERM CARE only. my grandmother who i called "granny"...

  7. Do acute care nurses look down on LTC nurses

    JSlovex2 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    i'm a nurse intern at a hospital and since i've never worked in a LTC facility, i've been considering getting a job in one just for the experience (not the money). there's one less than 1 minute down...

  8. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    JSlovex2 replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i'm a 2nd degree BSN student and i also work in a hospital as an intern. i understand what the OP is saying. sometimes i will answer a call light and to my surprise it will be an experienced nurse who...

  9. The "F" word....Floating!

    JSlovex2 replied to bastet35's topic in General Nursing

    when the rubber meets the road, if you are working as a CNA there is another RN who is assigned to that patient. THAT RN is going to be ultimately responsible for that patient's care. if THAT RN asks...

  10. Mandatory Overtime?

    JSlovex2 replied to ALH2004's topic in General Nursing

    wow. where i work there are staffing issues, but the incentives that are offered for picking up extra shifts are pretty hefty so that pretty much takes care of the problem. for example, if you get...

  11. First Code Blue on my patient!

    JSlovex2 replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

    i'm sure that was scary. i can't speak from experience because i'm not finished with school yet, but even working in a hospital i haven't experienced a code thus far. i'm not looking forward to it -...

  12. needing a prescription for vaseline??

    JSlovex2 replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    if that's true then they shouldn't have vaseline readily available in the supply room along with socks, toothbrushes, etc. when a patient has really dry lips i always grab a tube of vaseline and put...

  13. Scared Pre-Nursing Student: Is Nursing as Bad as I Hear?

    JSlovex2 replied to Ivy Black's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think BSN, ADN, etc. matters once a person has experience. for example, the best nurse i know (i.e. the nurse i'd want to be MY nurse if i was in the hospital) i believe has her ADN or...
