    Nursing and Crohn's

    LC0929 replied to biancal257's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi ! Yes. I was diagnosed at 14, am currently 57. I've been an RN since 2006. I can tell you that stress is the main problem, whether good or bad. It's obviously tough to eliminate all of the...

    Fail drug test or pass on job? New Hampshire?!

    LC0929 replied to mommieeern's topic in General Nursing

    As a practicing RN in NH, who has dealt with false positives, and has gone before the BON, and won, I would get a home test and take it. I would also get to my PCP and (unfortunately) get a...

    LC0929 replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    I’ll miss the patients ...yes, really...especially the really messed up patients....the drunks, the addicts, the psych patients..the overweight patients that are bed bound.....the patients that...

    LC0929 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I spend most of my “social” time with a select few, who are either colleagues, regardless of “title” (ie:nurses, aids, RT’s,etc), but medically connected somehow. I would definitely be up...

    Amiodarone Drip

    LC0929 replied to telenurse2009's topic in Patient Medications

    I appreciate the feedback, but I’m not sure that you read and understood what I wrote. Registered Nurses, unless something has changed in the past 6 months, cannot “diagnose” patients. I also...

    Amiodarone Drip

    LC0929 replied to telenurse2009's topic in Patient Medications

    You know the answer to this question, the problem is that you’ve worked with nurses who like to be “cowboys” and make decisions that aren’t in their scope of practice. Even though we, as...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    LC0929 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in school, one of the students drew up Robitussin, apparently planning to give it IV. Luckily we had amazing instructors...”almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, right???...

    In 4th of nursing school, but don’t like nursing what should I do? (Kind of long sorry, please don’t be mean)

    LC0929 replied to marymv3's topic in General Students

    OMG!! Does this break my heart!! ? First of all, your instructor is a disgrace, not only as a nurse, but as a human being! I would definitely make sure someone knows about it, if not for your own...

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    LC0929 replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Moon, I apologize! In my head I was comparing a situation like CICU to Hospice or End of Life care. Patients who are on multiple drips, dressings, etc., not to mention a heavier patient...

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    LC0929 replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve worked nights my entire nursing career and what I can tell you is this....you should absolutely not feel bad about passing things on to the next shift. There is a reason for 24 hour care. In...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    LC0929 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    What I find extremely disheartening is the fact that the “instructor” or “staff preceptor” is COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE for this. What’s even worse is that if this student has the potential of...

    LC0929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the fact that nursing has changed SO much in just the past 15 years is completely disheartening.... I can honestly say that I’m a kick *** nurse, not because I’m full of myself, but...
