  2. Any black male nurses out there?

  4. emergencies you have taken care of

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    There is no easy way to answer this question. I would ask your supervisor or another co-worker for advice. Some LTC facilities have specific guidelines/ Protocols they won't nurses to take before...

  5. Would this be appropriate for an interview?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sounds good to me. For my last interview I wore a plan black skirt ( really old) and borrowed a sweater from my fiances mom. Underneath I wore a shirt I paid 7 bucks for. Have to do what you have to...

  6. Lying about a med to a psych patient

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to cel58's topic in Emergency

    I always say" This is something to calm you down" and give it. There isn't enough time to have a long discussion about it. Keep it short, simple and to the

  7. Disappointed new grad: Should I just forget about it?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. The dumbest thing I ever said to a patient.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Humor

    Have another one! I had a patient on methadone tablets. I asked him what methadone clinic he goes to. He stated " I'm not a junkie, I have chronic pain which is why I take the methadone" His story...

  11. The dumbest thing I ever said to a patient.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Humor

    What a funny thread! I have one: So one day I was walking my blind patients to a chair. I was a step off and caused the patient to gently bump into the chair. I stated" I'm so sorry, this is like the...

  12. Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

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

    I think at the end of the day we can all agree that a written or CAT exam does not determine how great or bad a nurse is going to be. Only time will tell... either they will sink or swim. So far as...

  13. Well, I finally made a big medication error.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to brainkandy87's topic in Emergency

    Everyone makes mistakes. You learned from your mistake. Some times we have nursing angels to watch over us. Even though it could have been catatrophic I believe God stepped in and made everything...

  14. Why don't they change LTC facilities?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    I left LTC for the EXACT reasons you mentioned above. I hated that we were constantly understaffed. I hated that these residents did not get good care. Not all LTC facilities are like this as I've...

  16. I want to gain more knowledge and skills

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to randyquit's topic in General Nursing

    Before becoming a RN in 2011 I was a LPN for 2.5 years. As a LPN I worked primarily in LTC. I had the burning desire to gain more knowledge and skill. After completing RN school I applied for hospital...

  17. Stupid things doctors do?!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to healthstar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think its' funny how we comment on stupid things nurses do but can't think of one single stupid thing a doctor does. I don't believe in the nurses versus doctor war either. Why stoop down to their...

  18. Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

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

    I personally believe that written exams can be taken and passed by anyone now days. Whether its a CAT or a 2 day written exam. Both exams does not test your ability to be a nurse but test your ability...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to TurboGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you already know this but here are a few tips: In clinical remember that you are a student not a nurse. I found it a challenge to take off my LPN nurse hat to switch to a student. I never did...

  24. Just a bad day...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to tobi1007's topic in General Nursing

    This nurse seems as though she works in LTC. Any time a patient is on the floor whether assisted or not it is considered a fall. "sliding down to the floor" is a fall and has to be documented as such....
