    "Some people have a job. We have a calling."

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

    I don't think nursing requires a calling. If you do it for a paycheck and job security (although, in this economy, what security?!), I couldn't care less. So long as you know what you are doing, why...

    Foreign Nurses working in New York City

    uRNmyway replied to MamaKrissy's topic in Nurse Registration

    No, my school was fine. I have them a prepaid envelope to make sure it got there fast. The issue was my documents sitting in CGFNS office for months before they would process them. My being able to...

    Foreign Nurses working in New York City

    uRNmyway replied to MamaKrissy's topic in Nurse Registration

    Based on my experience with them, I will further add that you need to be on them like a fly on poop. I wasn't, and they let my application expire. I had to pay to get my application re-started. Once I...

    Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    Yeah, if I thought my brain hurt before... This person is going through soooo many awesome memes in my head, I can't even choose just

    Oh God, I know that somewhere in the 3 pages of responses between me reading this post and present, I'm not going to be the first to say it, but can you not detect sarcasm? Take a look at my avatar....

    uRNmyway replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh goodness OP. Most of us here, probably even those who are APRN, would say that NPs should not be paid as MDs. As a RN with the equivalent of an associates, I would be an idiot to argue that a NP...

    Um, yes, they absolutely do give Ambien/zolpidem in the US. Don't know where you get your info from to think they

    Your most embarrassing experience with a patient

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

    Ok, seriously, how many of these most embarrassing stories involve patient genitals lol?! My most embarrassing I described in another thread recently (gel disinfectant, in my eye, first day of my...

    Roaches ON the patient

    uRNmyway replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

    Omg...I agree, I think this needs to be reported to CPS. The conditions you described sound unsafe and unsanitary even for a healthy child, but a preemie on a vent with trach? I'm...

    Postpartum Care Plan

    uRNmyway replied to Allie0188's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, would kind of depend on whether the NICU is in the same hospital. Again, anything to offer? I'm glad to help, but don't want to do your homework for

    Postpartum Care Plan

    uRNmyway replied to Allie0188's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you came close to this, but along with your skin integrity issues, you have risk for infection. That might be another way to go. I agree with the role problems (parenting). That's where my...

    Postpartum Care Plan

    uRNmyway replied to Allie0188's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That all looks good to me. I might add some more interventions, I know my teachers wanted a lot more than what you listed. Do you have to write one more physical or psychosocial? Which way are you...

    opinions please?

    uRNmyway replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Um, if she is actually on a case right now, I would definitely slip word to the agency. Geez. Pretty

    please help :(

    uRNmyway replied to novice.nurse's topic in Patient Medications

    IVs infiltrate even with frequent monitoring. You saw it had happened, you reported it, you are treating it per orders. This isn't something you did on purpose I assume. There is no reason to assume...

    My Poor Legs!

    uRNmyway replied to nynursey_'s topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have horrible knee and hip pain from a combination of college athletics, childbearing, and weight fluctuations. I wore Nike running shoes for years and tolerated the pain. Then I was talked into...

    uRNmyway replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    Argh, it drives me nuts when people get on their soap boxes about having to work as a CNA/tech before going to nursing school. I've said it before and I'll say it again. That is pure crap! Work...

    uRNmyway replied to sosleepy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm, I see where you are going, although your rationale probably goes more with dehydration/fluid electrolytes. First, BF q2h is ridiculous lol. Newborns are feed on demand as far as I know. Yes, you...

    Rant: the first patient to make me truly disappointed in myself.

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

    As others have said, you won't click with everyone. You won't get through to everyone. Some people will get under your skin. What you think about someone is one thing. What you say, or how you say it,...
