  1. Prize Candle | Facebook I saw a cute video with a an Alzheimer's patient and her daughter today.. Thought of this thread from yesterday and decided to post because it was really light hearted and fun.
  2. Valuable life lessons from an ER nurse....

    Spice is only for food.
  3. IV and phlebotomy course practice on each other?

    I didn't in nursing in school although I wished they did. In EMT school and in military medic school we did and I felt much more comfortable practicing on my classmates and not letting my first live sticks be on frustrated patients. The rubber arms d...
  4. Didn't disclose

    Why is your subject title "Didn't disclose?"
  5. Starting Nursing School Pregnant

    Is there anyway to postpone your start date? Not saying this is impossible but it will be extremely difficult. I would rather start fresh in the fall and get plans together than risk finals.
  6. The Story of Jahi Continues

    They can't just keep a dead body on support forever can they? This is just wrong. After this round of court appearances somebody should be able to do SOMETHING
  7. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Her mother shared an update this week. Eyes covered... Family of Jahi McMath, teen declared brain dead, shares update | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV
  8. A coworker made me so mad!

    I get it. You feel that you could have at minimum got the bloodwork that she agreed to and he went in there and got her all worked up and she just said forget it. Did he know she had agreed to the bloodwork? Maybe he thought you guys were still tryi...
  9. Accidently took home a patients' insulin!

    Guilty! I fussed about someone losing my labs and having to withdraw them, got home and in my lower leg pocket....smh. Guess it was a busy ED night.
  10. GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!

    This girl is clearly lying and she has someone very angry doing her hair if she thinks a bloody head is normal. It is not normal to have scabs and puncture wounds. The needle used isn't even sharp. So unless the person is deliberately stabbing her he...
  11. GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!

    The braids aren't sewn in. The actual extensions are sewn onto the braids (which are in a corn row style) with a curved needle and thread.
  12. My I'm going to medical school

    Is this a joke?
  13. Nurse wife Cop hubby

    Well my husband works four days a week and I work three. I work on the days he has off most of the time so someone is watching my son and we spend the mornings together and the evenings when he gets off on his days. It is working so far. It keeps fro...
  14. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Many people don't understand the difference until they go to school and work for it. I know I truly didn't when I was a EMT. Now I do.
  15. Thank you for your input
  16. So I'm not sure if this fits but often in the ED patients have vital signs that fluctuate between ones that the physician can discharge and ones that they probably can't such as high bp or temp. Often if a patient has been trending high every 15 min ...
  17. Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    This was quite rude
  18. Confused... am I an RN or not??

    I don't understand why this would be confusing. If your quick results say fail, you failed the NCLEX. That would mean you are not an RN.
  19. Trouble with nursing

    I am not really understanding what you need help with. Did you fail out of school and you need to get back in? Originally it seems as if you were put out and your teachers were discouraging you. It says later on in your passage that you need help wit...
  20. Nclex is my worst nightmare

    I definitely had that moment when studying for the NCLEX. I was not a LPN like you are first so I did not have the knowledge to back me up but I still felt overwhelmed with a little one and husband at home. Surely the NCLEX makers were evil beings an...
  21. How about my scabies is acting up? Not a bad reason to come I guess but when scabies becomes a chronic condition for you....
  22. Notice of Termination Expectations

    My current facility requires four weeks.
  23. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    I agree with the ER perspective although I met my husband before I became a nurse. We meet a lot of officers in the ED which equals a lot of opportunities I suppose.
  24. Dilaudid for self-driving patient.

    I believe we are divided at our facility as well. I will give the medication but I will not discharge them until their ride arrives or they sit for four hours. I have seen other nurses wait until they set eyes on their ride especially when they know ...
  25. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Yes my dear husband is a Police officer.
