  1. Restroom Access

    BD-RN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    This right here! Exactly! as I said in my post, the principal is the one who sent something out to teachers. But you are a healthcare professional. You have the tools to add health science to the...

  2. Restroom Access

    BD-RN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

    I ran cross country and track in high school in the Temecula Valley, where it can get hot. Practice for all sports was after school, therefore we needed to be sure we were adequately hydrated...

  3. Question about IV push

    BD-RN replied to Bluepen's topic in General Nursing

    Oncology RN in an outpatient infusion center here. First of all, we like to keep a closed system in the Cancer Center. Most of our patients have some level of immune compromise. Keeping a...

  4. Infusion Tx and OCN

    BD-RN replied to Dacatster's topic in Oncology

    It’s on the ONS website. ? https://www.ons.org/courses/onsoncc-chemotherapy-immunotherapy-certificate-course best of

  5. Infusion Tx and OCN

    BD-RN replied to Dacatster's topic in Oncology

    I think you’re confusing OCN certification and the ONS Chemotherapy & Biotherapy administration certification. The latter is akin to a competency certification: you take a class and pass an exam...

  6. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    BD-RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    34,000 pounds is 44,000 USD. The pound is worth more than the dollar.

  7. Should I report this nurse?

    BD-RN replied to laladeedee's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This old myth bugs me to the core. If you have a working iv, i dont care if it's a 24 or 16: hang the freaking blood. There are patients who you just can't get a 18 or 20 on, but they still need...

  8. Did anyone have to relocate for nursing school?

    BD-RN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    I moved across the country for nursing school. You do what you gotta do to get what you want. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and go for

  9. Facebook and employers/school

    BD-RN replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    How are your privacy settings? If you don't make everything public, there's not much they can see. Be smart about what you post, and know how to set your filters. Example: your username on here looks...

  10. Stanford Rape

    BD-RN replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read her letter? Did you read the part where she wished she could take off her body like a jacket? She specifically said she was not okay, from the moment she realized her underwear was...

  11. Being blamed for fall after shift

    BD-RN replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is considered an "assisted

  12. New Grad Interview for Bone Marrow Transplant

    BD-RN replied to mathematical's topic in Oncology

    BMT is under the umbrella of oncology, which is specialty nursing in most hospitals. Because the patients are a little more acute then general med surg, the ratio is usually lower. Even in states with...

  13. My boss looked in my EMR for my miscarriage

    BD-RN replied to Christina12345's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You can file a complaint about a HIPAA

  14. The film: Vaxxed.

    BD-RN replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    This has got to be a joke, right? The poor grammar mixed with the cured stage 4 CA screams it. If not, please know, Your friend was NOT cured of their "stage IV cancer" by natural means. As an...

  15. The film: Vaxxed.

    BD-RN replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It actually had nothing to do with property values. It was a fire hazard. My mother lived in high risk fire country, and the dry, out of control weeds posed a risk to the entire community. This isn't...

  16. The film: Vaxxed.

    BD-RN replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Before my mother landscaped her backyard (she bought her house brand new in 1993), she had weeds in the backyard. She got lazy, let them grow, and the fire marshal came, and wrote her a ticket for the...

  17. 3 month training and pregnant

    BD-RN replied to beens's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, you can't be fired for being pregnant. That's discriminatory. If you didn't know, you didn't know. What gets you into hot water is that you probably won't be eligible for FMLA, since you...

  18. NYP Pharm Exam

    BD-RN replied to auchiepie's topic in New York Nursing

    I remember drugs on it that weren't even used in the US anymore. That's it. Go to the NLN website for the study

  19. Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    BD-RN replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, for making me smudge my makeup. I'm literally

  20. Elitism in nursing

    BD-RN replied to yakimandu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, the associates degree in nursing is slowly being phased out. Not that our experienced ASN aren't incredibly valuable. Their knowledge base from years of experience is irreplaceable. But the...

  21. Moving across country for RN?

    BD-RN replied to yajaira21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I did. I would still be on a wait list if I stayed. I packed up and moved across the country, got into a top ten nursing school, got experience, came back as a traveler, and now I'm back...

  22. EHRs- why arent they linked nationally

    BD-RN replied to sroseo's topic in General Nursing

    The two words that come to my mind are big brother. If we have a uniform EHR, who would regulate it? It's a great idea, in theory, but it unfortunately comes with ethical dilemma. I also think of...

  23. UNC hospitals

    BD-RN replied to Kbandy426's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I worked at Duke as a new grad in med surg, and our ratios were max 1:5. During the day we usually only had 4. Night shift we'd have 4-5. One time I had 6 on night shift, but that was the absolute...

  24. Safe Practice? Report to Corporate Compliance/HR/Magnet?

    BD-RN replied to mpct's topic in General Nursing

    The only way for your voice to be heard is to say something. That being said, have you gone to your supervisor? I would start there. Be diplomatic, not emotional, and state your concerns. Try to...

  25. Chemo/Biotherapy course

    BD-RN replied to proud nurse's topic in Oncology

    Anyone who has not taken the online version of the course has to take it: that's the new policy. All of us who previously took the 2day course had to take it online. If you have testing anxiety, this...
