  1. Is this professional?

    KayRN910 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    HHAHA, even if all this IS true, it is TOO freakin' WEIRD to worry about that at work when you're on a med/surg unit cleaning poop and wounds all day!!! All these people that are saying you are being...

  2. MA working beyond scope of practice

    KayRN910 replied to Catedi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Oh, LORD, this post made me shiver! When I was in my first round of clinicals, my clinical instructor told me wise words of widsom. She said,"You cant reverse IV meds. Once they are pushed, they're...

  3. clinical placements

    KayRN910 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    As you can see, I would suggest asking somebody that goes to your school currently what it's like there, because from all across the world, every school does it

  5. I know it won't stop, but....am shift is so loud

    KayRN910 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ER, so it's a little different there, but I did have a patient request a bed away from the nursing station when she was being admitted, and I asked why. She said,"The last time I was...

  6. BSN Now or ADN Later?

    KayRN910 replied to walktheline's topic in General Nursing

    This is a debate that potiential nursing students have all the time. As a general rule of thumb, most people will tell you to do the BSN program if your pocket can allow it. Having a BSN in the...

  7. Any info on RN-BSN or RN-MSN Programs in GA?

    KayRN910 replied to FaithWorks's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well, I can't tell you from PERSONAL experience, because I'm starting RN-BSN in August, but I've looked into West Georgia and Jacksonville State (in Alabama) West Ga meets one day a week, in several...

  8. Transfer from OR to ICU???

    KayRN910 replied to cooper86's topic in Critical Care

    I had this kinda happen to me when I graduated - which I actually ended up taking a different job all together in the ER, but my plan was (if I took to OR job), work there, show I had excellent work...

  9. clinical placements

    KayRN910 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say in your area, but picking clinicals was different for us every semester, depending on a lot of things. First sememster, everybody did Med/Surg for the same amount of hours, so they...

  10. Mean Doctors....

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

    Like everybody says, try to listen to why they are being mean. Second, make sure you have your facts together and ready to stand your ground, esp if you are paging them or you see a potential problem...

  11. What is your opinion on adding more Spanish-friendly tools to the ER?

    KayRN910 replied to angiebelle's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I say we "accomodate" them because I need to get an accuate history!! Do you know how dangerous taking care of a patient in ther ER (or any other field of nursing...) is if you dont know the...

  12. Help me not ruin my career... please?

    KayRN910 posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm 24, been an ER nurse for a year. I ended up with some major shoulder problems several months ago (and looking back, probably should've filed workers comp *first lesson!*), and ended up having...

  13. What is your opinion on adding more Spanish-friendly tools to the ER?

    KayRN910 replied to angiebelle's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, I think that would be awesome. I actually have an app on my phone that will translate stuff for me, because it is sooo hard to get information out of the spanish speaking community if you dont...

  14. ER nurses...I need your help!!!

    KayRN910 replied to ErRnDiva's topic in General Nursing

    After a year in the ER, I can tell you I was just as scared when I first started. Mainly, just brush up on your basic nursing skills for common complaints - Chest pain (need IV access, no Nitro unless...

  15. Surgical leave... I just need some love and support from other nurses!

    KayRN910 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just need some kudos and some positive reinforcement, because I feel like nobody understands my frustration!! I'm 24 yrs old. Been a nurse for a year now. I feel like my shoulder is like, allergic...

  16. Surgical leave... I just need some love and support from other nurses!

    KayRN910 replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everybody for the wonderful responses. I went to bed so upset last night! It was nice to wake up to some words of encouragement (which is exactly what I needed) and some stories of how other...

  17. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    KayRN910 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! We have 45 minutes to get a patient up to the floor. So if I wasnt *right there* to see the admit orders go up, because I, like every other nurse, have more than one patient, that's not a lot...

  18. Pre nursing student needs advice

    KayRN910 replied to ldm2484's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen!! Actually, I'm from the Kennesaw State area and have been an ER nurse for a year now. Our techs are the BOMB. I think it is much, MUCH better experience because you can start IVs, put caths in,...

    KayRN910 posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi everybody! First post here, but I need some advice from my fellow nurses! I'll try to condense a long story into a short one. :) I am an RN with 1 year experience. All throughout school, I wanted...

    KayRN910 replied to KayRN910's topic in Pediatric

    I actually just saw last night that UAB (the school I was kinda looking at going to) does require 1 year pediatric experience! I have 3 years of working with special needs kids, but not exactly the...

  21. New grad NP working as floor nurse

    KayRN910 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The part time or per-diem job may be a good idea if she had some experience. I know in my area (of course I can't speak for all), the hospitals wont hire you part time if you dont have a year of...

  22. Any students attending Emory University this fall?

    KayRN910 replied to LaeDeesNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just wondering how your schooling went!? I guess you both should be done by now!! Did you end up working?! How did you like the school? I'm looking at Emory, but wanted to get some input!!!
