    Overheard at the nurse's station

    wish_me_luck replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    agreed, AnonRNC. But, I will say, if you went to the unit I was on as a tech, then you would spend all day in the hall/NS area. Unfortunately, this is common practice (the better than thou attitude...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    PetstoPeople, I did not just make that severely obese thing up. I got it from the government standards of each BMI category. Calculate Your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator BMI Categories: Underweight...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    wish_me_luck replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where the line gets drawn honestly. I just know from my perspective, I am very into public health and it's what I want to do. I am young and so naturally, my metabolism is higher; but...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    wish_me_luck replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I read this on CNN, I believe it was. The cut off was a BMI of 35 and they offered to help the workers lose weight. I don't know if you guys realize this but a BMI of 35 is severely obese. Yes, I know...

    Lying about a med to a psych patient

    wish_me_luck replied to cel58's topic in Emergency

    I agree 100% stargazer. To me, it sounded like he was calmed down a bit and not throwing anything. He should have been told what he was receiving, not lied to; also, since he was not at that time a...

    Would you keep lower level certification or licenses current?

    wish_me_luck replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    so, lovetosleep, you can keep other licenses current and work in them? After reading heartswideopen's post, I was afraid that I would have to just let my other license expire because no one would hire...

    Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    wish_me_luck replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I do understand your point, Ashley. And I am getting ready pretty soon to take boards...and even I think the old method was more comprehensive. But, I am wondering if other than the use of technology...

    Would you keep lower level certification or licenses current?

    wish_me_luck replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I am. I have a license in a different part of the healthcare field (not nursing); but am keeping it just in case I can't find a nursing job. However, like you, with a nursing degree, I become afraid...

    Yeah, I have my application submitted and received the thing from BoN with my list of things that I have left to do. I just have to sign up with Pearson Vue and get the other info to BoN that they...

    Priming/Hooking Up secondary lines

    Priming/Hooking Up secondary lines

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey, So, I know just changing a bag is just a matter of changing the bag, making sure it's compatible with the primary fluid, and programming the pump. But, if you are setting up a secondary; is it...

    wish_me_luck replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    I am of zero help; but I have a question regarding this. How do you find out if your state requires CEUs? I think I have 1.5 hours for modules that were done through ANA. Then, they told me to print...

    Priming/Hooking Up secondary lines

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my concern with backpriming is not necessarily not know how to do it rather than concern that air would get into the line due to the secondary bag being lowered below the primary. Would it...

    I think the only time I have seen a little bit of the antibiotic not infused is when it was in the drip chamber and a new bag was ordered anyway. The rational behind it was to keep the drip chamber...

    wish_me_luck replied to TiddlDwink's topic in General Nursing

    Vespertinas, it was made by me. There are pros and cons to home health. What I was referring to was when you are in a patient's home, you are focused on them. You don't have the secretary calling you...
