  1. This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    SubSippi replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Some people like you more when you're mean to

  2. 7:30 meds? Who is responsible for giving?

    SubSippi replied to Manda92's topic in Patient Medications

    The last time I asked pharmacy to reschedule something the pharmacist asked me when I became a

  3. Worst/silliest/are you serious pt complaint you've received?

    SubSippi replied to odaat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But she didn't want you to FIX her dry fish, she wanted you to CARE that her fish was dry. Where is your

  4. Cried at work today.

    SubSippi replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know I am wayyyy more likely to start crying about something that wouldn't normally make me cry when I'm tired. So from my point of view...yes...probably too much

  5. Docs with too much pride...

    SubSippi replied to lahryn18's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a CVICU, and I agree with the other posters who said that cardizem might not have been necessary. If her pressure was stable, we might have tried a few doses of IV lopressor to see how she...

  6. HR posting day positions that don't exist...

    SubSippi replied to Barkow's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I know at my facility the manager will post a job that they're budgeted for, even if they don't need it at that time, because if it's not, it makes it look as though that position is not...

  7. LONELY

    SubSippi replied to mb1123's topic in General Nursing

    I've been where you are before. You need to find hobbies you enjoy that you can do by yourself, and also that you can do at night since you're working night shift. I started sewing...it's fun to me...

  8. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

    SubSippi replied to Arizona#1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep...if the OP thought the other nurse was out to get her before, I have a feeling it's going to get much

  9. Your worst nightmare

    SubSippi replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    That whole story reminds me of a test question where they throw the "just started weight training" in the mix to throw you off. The right answer would be something about putting the pt on O2 and...

  10. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    SubSippi replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify, you're unconscious when you're asleep. The two aren't mutually

  11. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    SubSippi replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Did you see what Esme said? If her gag reflex is present, then the patient is capable of protecting her airway regardless of her level of consciousness. You don't just intubate someone prophylactially...

  12. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    SubSippi replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen this happen, too. She got a head CT and everything. Her family was upset, and we didn't have a clue what was happening. About 24 hours later she wakes up, very groggy, but A/Ox4, everything...

  13. I Hate People (my rant)

    SubSippi replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We did say that oath because it's ridiculously outdated. OP, I've never been the most social, and I've never liked being around a ton of people. I have two friends and I don't want any more. I also...

  14. Hated being a CNA, scared to commit to nursing.

    SubSippi replied to Pinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is true, and I think it's safe to say that if you're a nurse you will eventually be able to find a job that you enjoy. But you will almost definitely have to put up with several years of the...

  15. I give in, I'm a COB

    SubSippi replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Another thread on its way to devolving into food

  16. First Patient Death Experience

    SubSippi replied to HenrySD's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody expects you to know what to do in your first code. That's the whole point of being able to call a code...you get helping hands with lots of experience. If experience wasn't important, they...

  17. Lucky he was constipated, or he'd be dead

    SubSippi replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked the floor I used to get a lot of patients who would come in for something random, and find out they were in

  18. This is a placenta...

    SubSippi replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I need some

  19. Is nursing for me?

    SubSippi replied to Uz25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I talked to my 16 year old self, I'd probably slap her in the

  20. Is nursing for me?

    SubSippi replied to Uz25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG

  21. Changing specialities?

    SubSippi replied to Therhapsody89's topic in Travel

    Cross training won't be considered meaningful experience when you're looking for a travel assignment. There's no short way around, if you want to work in a speciality as a travel nurse then you need...

  22. Changing specialities?

    SubSippi replied to Therhapsody89's topic in Travel

    Why would they hire you into med surg with no experience? You'll get about two days of training on the floor then you'll be expected to function independently, which you will not be able to do with...

  23. I feel so incompetent and dumb

    SubSippi replied to canche's topic in Emergency

    You're mistaking criticism for not being nice. Regardless of if she was right or not, it sounds like the doc was trying to give you some advice she thought might help. Switching jobs is tough. You're...

  24. Is nursing for me?

    SubSippi replied to Uz25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I hear, pediatric nurses get to avoid poop and vomit

  25. I Want To Support My Pre-Nursing Student Girlfriend. Please Help!

    SubSippi replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What they mean is, "I really hate
