    Best Hallucinations Thread

    uRNmyway replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, it's real easy to feel sorry for them...until you untie them and a poor nurse ends up punched in the throat and rushed to the

    Awful Doctors

    uRNmyway replied to JKimRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I agree with you that when a nurse comes on here to ask for advice, we should give it in a non-judgmental manner, I just went and re-read the OP...and there was nothing in there I noticed that...

    The cases that break your heart

    uRNmyway replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    I was called a judgmental b-word for mentioning the risks of co-sleeping to a so-called friend. Well, not to my face of course. She told OTHER so-called friends that I was being judgmental of her...

    IVs/blood draws

    uRNmyway replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Pediatric

    Don't lie to them. Don't tell them it won't hurt. As far as using parents, I have always been told to try to avoid that. The reasoning was that you don't want the kids to think their parent was...

    uRNmyway replied to imintrouble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If assigned to him, I would probably try to bow out, just because I know myself, and know I would just keep seeing the face of that innocent little boy who is now dead because of his actions. THAT is...

    uRNmyway replied to hardworkinmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL, I asked for my daughter not to be bathed by the nurses and refused Hep B vaccine at birth (where I'm from, we only vaccinate for Hep B at birth if one or both parents are from endemic countries),...

    Got offered a full time job, but got accepted to prestigious university.

    uRNmyway replied to ambereyes1987's topic in Nursing Career

    Can you take your nursing classes part time? Is the fulltime position day or night? 8hr or 12hr? All things that would make a difference. But yea, if you say your dream is to get your RN, then I...

    No rapid response for a DNR?

    uRNmyway replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    Um, yes, what SoldierNurse22 said. First, telemetry box or no, a patient who is going to die in their sleep is going to do so whether a machine is beeping in their ear or not. I mean, really, if the...

    Canadian nurse Failed NCLEX, please help

    uRNmyway replied to Paige15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As a fellow Canadian nurse who took the NCLEX last year, I can tell you that a HUGE thing is to forget the format of the Canadian nursing test. I bought 2 different exam prep books, kaplan and...

    Kudos to floor nurses

    uRNmyway replied to hodgieRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Agreed, I thought the same thing. I don't get why we can't just appreciate the amazing skills our colleagues have instead of continually trying to one-up each other. All of us, for each different...

    Any opinions on Nightingale Travel Agency?

    uRNmyway replied to Marissa00's topic in Agency Nurses

    Eh, I don't know if you lose anything by being on their roster. But don't quit looking. Just as an FYI, I actually do have experience in med-surg and mother-baby. But since that experience was more...

    Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    uRNmyway replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ugh, I can just see this turning into another LPN vs RN vs BSN vs MSN vs APN thread. Why do these keep being allowed on

    uRNmyway replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with marycarney. Talking about your achievements is great.(because that's what they are, achievements. Anyone that chooses to continue their education and succeeds, that is an achievement...

    Med/Surg Certification

    What is this med-surg certification? I have never heard of it, but would definitely be interested in completing it! Certifications and education are never something to be embarrassed about....

    Bad nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to Neldavi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would take the criticisms from family members with a grain of salt. Many people come in claiming to be nurses, and then you later find out they WERE nurses 20 years ago, or are actually CNA students...

    uRNmyway replied to FranD, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with other posters. I work in Home health now. I would choose bedside med-surg over home health any day, any time. ESPECIALLY if you have full benefits where you are currently. I would keep...

    CNA as School Nurse?

    uRNmyway replied to JustADream's topic in School

    Wow, an LPN can fulfill this role, I'm this. But a CNA? They aren't trained to have the nursing judgment for medication administration, and I know this because the HH agency I work for trains CNAs. I...

    What's the coolest operation you've watched??

    uRNmyway replied to SuzieVN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Most interesting surgery I saw was a thoracotomy for a patient with lung cancer. Got to watch while they cut open the patient basically from sternum to the side of his rib-cage. They then completely...

    What's the coolest operation you've watched??

    uRNmyway replied to SuzieVN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My grandfather was told something like that, what you mention about pain receptors. They told him that when he died, it was most likely to be from heart failure, basically an MI, but that he would...
