  1. How UNprofessional do you think this is??

    BKRN replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately there will be people like this anywhere that you work. Just keep a positive attitude and rise above this

  2. Covering tele for a non-tele nurse

    BKRN replied to grouchy's topic in General Nursing

    I am a MED/SURG (non-tele) nurse-I have refused to be pulled to a tele floor. It is not fair to me or to the tele nurse that has to monitor my pts-I look at it as out of my scope of practice....

  3. Didn't follow doctor's orders

    BKRN replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    As someone has already mentioned you have to look at their baseline, some COPD patients do live comfortably with sats in the 80's. It is important to know if they are CO2 retainers before you crank...

  4. To LPN over the summer or not?

    BKRN replied to oldcop's topic in General Nursing

    One summer sounds awfully short to complete an LPN program and to be able to sit for the NCLEX-PN. LPN programs are usually atleast 12 months to 24 months. I would be sure before I registered or paid...

    BKRN replied to WVUturtle514's topic in General Nursing

    BKRN replied to narnar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know that It would'nt be enforced-I just really hate to see kids trapped in a car or room filled with cigarette

  7. kids wreak of smoke...ethics question

    BKRN replied to narnar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your right, we as healthcare providers are not supposed to judge our patients. But as a parent I do judge you. No ones perfect, but when you knowingly expose your children to a deadly poison well I...

  8. Insulin

    BKRN replied to Momto2Boys's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was taught this in Nursing school and it was reinterated at the hospital I work at. You have another nurse verify the dosage of insulin not the actual administration. As for Herparin drips and PCA...

  9. Just a nervous mom

    BKRN replied to new_mom26's topic in Pediatric

    My daughter has been in her toddler bed since she was 2, we have not had any problems. We put a baby gate up in her doorway so that she is not able to leave her room. That has worked well for us....

  10. Soap Suds Enema in L&D - do you still use?

    BKRN replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    During my L&D clinicals a few years ago. There was a doctor that insisted his patients have a SSE enema so that their would be no BM during pushing or delivery! He told the nurses to not let the...

  11. How do you cope with child abuse?

    BKRN replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    People that abuse children are in my opinion absolute evil. It makes me sick to hear of these monsters that molest children, are let go with a slap on the wrist only to offend again. except this time...

  12. Feeling Guilty (calling in sick)

    BKRN replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh do I know how you feel! I've had to call in a few times due to no sleep. I have two young kids (who are not in school yet), and a husband in the military. There were times when he was gone with...

    BKRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is'nt that the truth? This is the one thing that drives me

    BKRN replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    Benefits: Satisfy each others selfish pleasures Cons: hurt your spouses hurt your kids look like a liar and a cheat I could go on and

  15. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

    BKRN replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    I still think this is a joke......but, if she feels that she is falling for this guy than she has an opportunity to take herself away from the situation and maintain LOYALTY to her husband and...

  16. The Keys- working with nurses on probation

    BKRN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think that anyone is trying to crucify this nurse. They are simply telling the OP what her OBLIGATIONS are. I do think that this incident should be reported to the BON. Why should the OP put...

  17. Registry Nurses don't feel part of a team

    BKRN replied to kellbell1's topic in Agency Nurses

    I was a staff nurse on a MED/SURG floor when I decided to go Registry at that same hospital (more pay working the same hours). I felt that being registry and floating to different areas of the...

  18. Accredited School

    BKRN replied to newmom27's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What did you expect to happen? Good grief-she probably expected to ask a question here without getting attitude. To the OP I do not believe it will effect your ability to get into a BSN or ADN...

  19. My ALMOST 5 year old refuses to poop on the potty!

    BKRN replied to dreamBIG's topic in General Nursing

    I almost laughed myself out of my chair when I read your post! You obviously do not have children! To the OP this is a fairly common problem. I once read that young Children may be afraid to "poop"...

  22. This cannot be ethical!

    BKRN replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I have never lost a child-reading this thread makes me feel so much better. When I first read the topic of this thread I was thinking Dear God, please don't let this be the

  23. This cannot be ethical!

    BKRN replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Why would you even bring this up. The person having the abortion has signed a consent form and the nurse assisting the physician is employed at her own...

  24. This cannot be ethical!

    BKRN replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

  25. This cannot be ethical!

    BKRN replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    Thats great-but it should be done with the parent or family members PERMISSION! They should have the right to decide not a bunch of procedure hungry residents! I would seriously hurt someone if they...
