    Nursing documentation help

    ixchel replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ixchel replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me if this has been mentioned. I need to go to work and I've only read the first two pages. 1 mg dilaudid and a Percocet or two are not going to do much of anything for an addict. They're...

    Which way do I go? (New grad)

    ixchel replied to NurseVick15's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all RN403 says. Also, having an only 1-month orientation period is terribly unfair to you. A new hire, especially newly licensed, need afar more orientation than that. OF COURSE you are...

    ixchel replied to missglamour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of our CNAs/Techs under 35 years old except one is in nursing school. It's a fantastic thing to do, and I applaud anyone wanting to make that leap. And when you get into nursing school, you'll...

    ixchel replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Multiple times, I, and other posters, have given solid advice on how to shake the drama. You have largely, repeatedly, ignored this advice. I'm at the point that I believe you do this expecting...

    EPS or seizure

    ixchel replied to blackribbon's topic in Psychiatric

    Is this patient on meds that would give them EPS? The best way to know which it was for sure is to get an EEG. Seizures don't always look the way you expect them to. Ativan will help both issues, so...

    I disagree. I feel that my health status should be something I choose to share when I want to share it, with the people that I choose. Some health things are embarrassing, some are tragic, some are...
