  1. I might fail OB clinical, nervous and kinda suicidal

    Surprised1 replied to Rocktheman's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm so glad you had a good day at clinicals, and that you're feeling optimistic! Your life is precious to you and to your mom, at the very least, and suicide is never the answer. Problems, even ones...

  2. NANDA for Status epilepticus, but no seizures

    Surprised1 replied to applered's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If she had new onset seizures, you could possibly use knowledge deficit as a NANDA dx, for the parents, related to disease management, AEDs, rescue meds, and so on. All seizure pts are fall risk and...

  3. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    Surprised1 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    This.

  4. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    Surprised1 replied to bekahinpink's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a pretty good test. I've taken it maybe half a dozen times over the past 20 years or so, and I've always been an INFJ. This has been consistent through different seasons and personas in...

  5. What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    Here's a third INFJ. - Peds

  6. I *loved* my ED Rotation

    Surprised1 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    ED was my most fun clinical, also. I always loved seeing so many types of patients in one shift. It never got boring! Glad you had a great day! Eta: Peds is best, of

  7. Interment cath and trach suction per pt request limit

    Surprised1 replied to Rvanurse2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    Surprised1 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A program??? That's horrible!!! I would be looking for another job in my every waking moment! That reminds me of the old saying, "the floggings will continue until morale

  10. All Men Shift

    Surprised1 replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a woman. I love men, I think they're wonderful. I'm old-fashioned, not a women's libber, and I greatly dislike man-bashing. But I found the original post to be insulting and mean-spirited toward...

  11. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    Surprised1 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This. It's not what you'd call slang, so much as just slurred speech. It means fixing

  12. Just ONE CNA on night shift?

    Surprised1 replied to zacarias's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wasn't even thinking about aides doing vitals or anything like that. Ours, when we even have one, don't do vitals or nursing-type care. I was thinking more along the lines of you needing help...

  13. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

    Surprised1 replied to NY1984's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks! It says "under review". I wonder if there will be a point at which the message changes to "denied", or something along those lines, to give

  14. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

    Surprised1 replied to NY1984's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can someone please post the link to the portal? I can't see it on the HRSA.gov homepage. I haven't heard from them at all, so I'm really disappointed ETA: I'm just an RN, not a nurse practitioner,...

  15. Just ONE CNA on night shift?

    Surprised1 replied to zacarias's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you know how many patients you'll typically have? We operate without UAP most nights, with a fair amount of total care patients. Fortunately, we have a culture of teamwork on our unit, so we take...

  16. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    Surprised1 replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    This. "Someone" may have a grudge against you for goodness knows what reason. This smacks of passive aggression and vengeance. I'm sorry this happened to you. Sent from my iPhone using

  17. Could he be right?

    Surprised1 replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have written this. In addition, I felt unwelcomed when I started my current job, which served to inspire me even more to be kind and welcoming to all who enter my unit. This includes new RNs...

  18. Morphine

    Surprised1 replied to parin's topic in Patient Medications

    True! No more posting when I've been awake for almost 24 hours-- Sent from my iPhone using

  19. Morphine

    Surprised1 replied to parin's topic in Patient Medications

    The only possible reason I can think of is that your instructor didn't want you, as a student, to push morphine. It's a common restriction for students, for good reason. Other than that, I cannot...

  20. Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    Surprised1 replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    I can count on one hand the amount of times I studied with other students, and those were because we were already together on campus. I'm a loner and I study best on my own. I used an online...

  21. Can you get in trouble?

    Surprised1 replied to Rnhm13's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could like this more than once. To me, this situation is about much more than "can you get in

  22. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    Surprised1 replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I feel for you, OP. I know how much it would mean to your dad and to you, so I really hope you can find someone to switch with you. However, it would backfire on you to call in that day....

  23. Can a patient video tape me?

    Surprised1 replied to MirwinRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our security guards are very protective of us nurses. If a patient or visitor does something like that, security gladly pays them a little visit to explain the rules. Management backs us

  24. who does the blood draws in your hospital?

    Surprised1 replied to annieboo444's topic in General Nursing

    Surprised1 replied to Happynurse12's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    HM3-2-BSN, Have you tried networking? Do you have any friends/acquaintances/contacts in women's health? If you had a good relationship with your professors from nursing school, you could call them...
