   #1ME replied to rn2bn07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   If he's repeatedly being a bad reference, I would refrain from jotting him down as one. Don't you have more than one manager? We have two in the night and two in the morning. How about your Nursing...

   #1ME replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   BluemorningGlory you obviously don't like this guy, and you'd love to sabotage his nursing goals. CNA and nursing school have BCI's and this guy seems to have gotten through one of them. People like...

4. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind this order?

   #1ME replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Patient Medications

   Doesn't matter if it was placed in his NG or he swallowed it. If the NGT is at continous suction the KCL is just going to be sucked back up into the cannister. You would need to clamp the NG tube....

   #1ME replied to jorgecardenas55's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   My friend failed the first time at 265, but passed the second time at 265. I passed the first time at 80s, wasn't certain whether I passed or not, it was so mind boggling. I guess I'm confused at...

   #1ME replied to Lael's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

10. Pharmacology: Which Drugs?!

    #1ME replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our clinical instructors handed us a printed list of meds we needed to make drug cards on, the beginning of the semester. Depending on what subject we were going over in class, I'd focus on

11. What is an average 12 hour shift like for a nurse

    #1ME replied to DeezKeyz's topic in Nursing Career

    #1ME replied to DeezKeyz's topic in Nursing Career

    I would have to say half of the time is charting/documenting in the computer. Ugh, it takes up so much time, but will come in handy to protect your butt. Shift starts off with a 30 min report....
