    Stroke hemorrhagic conversion

    ixchel replied to lassenlake's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate this explanation. It does make sense. Thank you for it. I've actually been placed on a hospital-wide stroke committee starting in August, so I'm definitely looking at diving into EBP....

    Pearson Vue Trick - Website Update (Good pop up still alive)

    ixchel replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't stalk your profile to see you're a newbie! Welcome to allnurses! The site is rather large and overwhelming at first. I find the app a lot easier to navigate when I just want to see what's new...

    That is correct. I say that with caution, though. They may attempt to verify that the card is valid. If you don't put in valid information, you will get a message saying so. If you get this message,...

    ixchel replied to Davey Do's topic in Psychiatric

    Davey Do, I'd like to pose a relevant question to our local superhero, Jacob Rockstar-RN Action Figure. (P.S. My iPad changed Davey to Cagey.) Jacob Rockstar-RN Action Figure, as a floor nurse on a...

    Stroke hemorrhagic conversion

    ixchel replied to lassenlake's topic in General Nursing

    You are talking about hourly NIHs and intensivists. Our tpas go to ICU and the rest come to my floor. You are making me wonder if you are mixing details up. If a patient has received tpa, holding...

    I Hate People (my rant)

    ixchel replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll comment to your first sentence - if you reread my post, I wasn't calling "hating people" less altruistic. I was calling *becoming a nurse for the money* less altruistic. And yes, going into it...

    ixchel replied to nursemeggie22's topic in Travel

    I can't answer as to whether they'll let you change specialties as a traveler. I can, however, relay the jist of a conversation I had recently with one of our most experienced ICU nurses. When our ICU...

    Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    ixchel replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Nynursey - #7 makes me angry. What is wrong with people that they should feel they even have a right to judge that? I have a guy friend who is adamant about no kids, and talks freely and frequently...

    Does your senior year get any better?

    ixchel replied to AggieRNnTraining's topic in General Students

    I agree it will depend on your program, but will add that you've been "broken in". Simply knowing what to expect this year will make it feel easier on some levels. Hang in there. You're almost

    I Hate People (my rant)

    ixchel replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This really bums me out, that you would judge someone for having less altruistic motives than you. Wanting a paycheck doesn't mean a person wouldn't be a good nurse, or heck, a good person. I see by...

    Jeez. That's rude, huh? I work with pharmacists who understand nursing staff needs flexibility some times. They also understand that sometimes the doctors don't actually think before putting in...
