  1. what is the most beautiful thing in being a nurse?

    KayRN910 replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

  3. Interview Advice needed

    KayRN910 replied to Wellness1988's topic in Nursing Career

    So, I know it's not what you are looking for, but maybe you can focus on what questions YOU are going to ask THEM. Seems like you are freaking out a little, and while I completely understand that, you...

    KayRN910 posted a topic in Nursing Career

  7. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    KayRN910 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    I'll clarify acuities for you. You know when you go to the ER and theres a long wait and the nurse says,"I'm sorry, we have to take the sickest people back first." Theres a way we decided, as a nurse,...

  8. Nursing for Children in Special Education (Autism, ED, etc)

    KayRN910 replied to jiwonkim89's topic in Pediatric

  9. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    KayRN910 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    Acuity level of patients, pt ratios is a MUST (from what I understand 3-4 is pretty standard), when they would want you to take TNCC (or if they even offer that to their nurses *they should!!*) How...

  10. What does it take to be a peds transplant nurse?

    KayRN910 replied to KayRN910's topic in Pediatric

    KayRN910 replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Nursing

    Just hang in there! You know how you felt better last night? When you took care of your own patients and didn't have somebody right up under you? That's what most days are like, when you are off...

  13. Where are we headed?

    KayRN910 replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yeah, I would say it kind of does affect you. What if you are a patient? Or what if you are working with one of these people? This attitude of "well, this isn't my problem and will never affect...

  14. hate night shift

    KayRN910 replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with EmergencyNrse about the infusions! Always run levaquin on a pump. Depending on the dose, it has to go in over an hour or an hour and a half. And when it comes to things like,"Oh, that's...

  15. LVN "teamate" not doing meds properly-advice wanted

    KayRN910 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True, but I respectfully disagree with the fact that the RN isn't held accountable to some degree. They are her patient's too. And forget the BON, what if meds aren't given on time and somebody codes?...

  16. Things you'd never have done before...

    KayRN910 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    KayRN910 replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    When you do get acls cert, you'll look back on this and say "gah, I wish I didn't freak out so bad." :) You'll be fine. It's not impossible, they want you to learn it and

  19. freestanding ER, charting question

    KayRN910 replied to emergencynerd's topic in Emergency

    Not really sure about freestanding, but my ER just switched from T System to another system (that isn't nearly as good). T System was geared toward ER, and was *awesome* at charting your nurses notes....

  20. Did you already know that area of nursing you wanted to be in before graduation?

    KayRN910 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously wanted to to peds (like, seriously) and I HATED cardiac. HATED it. Now I work in a cardiac ER. We see almost zero kids, and a LOT of cardiac (obviously). You can't rule anything out,...

    KayRN910 replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    KayRN910 replied to Catedi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    KayRN910 replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
