  1. All the way to 265!! I feel hopeless!

    SionainnRN replied to asbk50's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed with 265, it was 5 years ago so I can't remember what the questions were like. Hang In There until you get the

  2. Mock Code Blue Scenerio

    SionainnRN replied to mtillman's topic in General Nursing

    Zombie code

  3. Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

    SionainnRN replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have to agree with everyone else. If someone was going to be turning and examining my pt and they needed a suppository I would hate to, but would prob ask them to pop it in since they'd be right...

  4. death smells like

    SionainnRN replied to shimike2010's topic in Private Duty

    Coffee grounds works wonders, just put some in a cup in the corners of the room. We do that in the ER with our more fragrant pts and it works

  5. med/surge or pacu for a new grad

    SionainnRN replied to MelissaSipes's topic in PACU

    PACU tends to take ICU and ER nurses not new grads, this is very suspicious. Pacu may seem like a cushy job, one pt at a time, but when the poop hits the fan and you need to start pressers, hang...

  6. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    And I think a lot of people would be feeling different about the situation if she wasn't a psych pt. There's nothing wrong with clicking with a pt, or finding yourself attracted to someone. What you...

  7. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    It would be nice if the op could come back and give some more

  8. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    No one is saying that someone with psych issues doesn't deserve love, they probably need it more than anyone. But someone in the middle of a crisis should not be starting a relationship with her...

  9. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    And that would be super creepy and also a violation since the only way he knew her name was from her chart. Way too many worms in the can. Not worth

  10. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    SionainnRN replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I think it would be very important. And not only to speed through learning ADLs once in nursing school, but more importantly to give perspective nurses a realistic idea of what nursing is. Too many...

  11. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    SionainnRN replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    If you put it in the Internet it's not a private transaction but a public one, therefore open to scrutiny. At my old job there was a coworker who put a sign up in the break room saying she wasn't...

  12. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    When someone is sick enough that they are an in patient at a psych facility, it is an absolute certainty that their issues are more severe than just needing a significant other. They have serious,...

  13. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    I hope that is sarcasm because that is horrible advice. Not only is it unethical, a bf is not the cure for mental

  14. Can not even express how greatful I would be for some input. My livelyhood depends on it.

    SionainnRN replied to RN94's topic in Nurse Management

    My old hospital had a policy where if you left for whatever reason: fired, quit, retired, etc you were listed as DNR. It's not always a death sentence. If you look on threads here so so so many nurses...

  15. ICU especially hard on back?

    SionainnRN replied to Subclavian Steel's topic in Critical Care

    I've done trauma ICU, ortho floor and ER so here's my two cents: ICU: less walking, worst on back due to turning not just your pts every two hours but helping with all the other pts in the pod...

  16. Fix me NOW (but on my terms or I'll leave AMA)

    SionainnRN replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Emergency

    You think any of these people have insurance?? Not that there aren't jerks with insurance but the majority of the frequent fliers we get in the ER who act like this have no ins. That's also why the...

  17. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    It would be a huge ethical breach to date her. First you were part of her healthcare team, second it was a psych facility so she is part of a vulnerable population which makes it even worse. You...

  18. IV starts in nursing schools

    SionainnRN replied to DaynaPierceMorgan's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught in school starting second semester. We practiced on pts just like our other skills, with our instructor or nurse at our side. We were absolutely forbidden from practicing on each

  19. Med error and disciplinary action

    SionainnRN replied to Trolleydoll's topic in Patient Medications

    Holy crap so you can get fired for calling out sick now? That is a huge over reaction in their part! I would fight it! I'm so sorry you're dealing with

  20. Have you noticed...

    SionainnRN replied to joe_mulligan88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Student Nurse

    SionainnRN replied to schroe35's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Why? Why does their gender have any effect on their ability to do their job? Nursing should be a genderless

  23. Have you noticed...

    SionainnRN replied to joe_mulligan88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope, not at all! I'm currently working registry while job hunting for a full time job and everyone is super helpful and nice. You know what they say about when you smell poop all day? Better take a...
