  2. What is your favorite nursing scrub design? Do you have one?

    seanynjboy replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    My favorite scrub top is a FINDING NEMO top. When that movie first came out and I wore it through the Peds ward when I worked in pharmacy. The kids faces lit up and would whisper and smile. It was...

  3. Dear Hospice Nurses, I beg you for a moment of your time, please.

    seanynjboy replied to CheesePotato's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    First off, I'm really sorry about everything that you are going through with your Dad. My thoughts are with you and your family. You so do your research about the local area hospices. I worked for a...

    seanynjboy replied to Redriver's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Destroying medications

    seanynjboy replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A lot places throw the patches in a sharps container with another nurse. As for the pills, crush them up and put them in a small amount of cat litter, clump it and just discard that in the

  6. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    seanynjboy replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Totally don't care. I like the CHEEEESINESS of medical shows. I find it amusing how many things I find wrong in shows like Grey's Anatomy and ER

    seanynjboy replied to francoml's topic in General Students

    I know exactly how you feel. My first patient that I had lost was during my first day of my hospice rotation. I was with her and her family as she took her last breath and helped the family with...

  9. Replaced by Certified Medication Aide!

    seanynjboy replied to ladyjanelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That does sound pretty

  10. Bending and Breaking the Rules in Nursing

    seanynjboy replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    After doing my hospice rotation, you learn that people on Hospice kind of go by a different set of nursing rules. Unless this patient was NPO or had dysphagia to where the hamburger would put her at...

  11. My 2013 NCLEX Experience. Worth a read.

    seanynjboy replied to hazlenut88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CONGRATS! :) I read stories about the PVT not always being correct, so when I took my LPN exam, it made me smile to get the "pop-up" but I still had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I...

  12. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    seanynjboy replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    seanynjboy replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I sometimes make my bed with mitered corners......That's it so

  14. Bedside report

    seanynjboy replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    BTW...I love your "special snowflake" phrase. It cracks me up and I will be using that one in the future

  15. Bedside report

    seanynjboy replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student graduating in April and the hospital I am doing my preceptor ship encourages bedside reporting. I can tell you that the patients do appreciate it more when you are in there,...

  16. post conference

    seanynjboy replied to suni's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Correlating labs to the diagnosis is a great idea! Teaching anything about oxygen delivery systems sounds great too! I had a clinical instructor that only asked us how our day went and really didn't...

  17. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    seanynjboy replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    SERIOUSLY?! A teacher sent you a student to put an earring back in...that is just stupid, take then out and leave them out on Gym days, and if she wants them back in, have her mother teach her how to...

  18. New Nurse can't eat lunch

    seanynjboy replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    This nurse has to work on her time management skills. It is just not right to just leave her work such as giving meds and dressing changes for the nurse COVERING for her. No, you are not being...

  19. post conference

    seanynjboy replied to suni's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am currently in an ADN program and the thing that we never worked on a whole lot is the Handoff report. I think instead of teaching something related to what they are learning in class (because...

  20. Giving alcohol to a resident

    seanynjboy replied to fournee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is common practice in LTC facilities. As long as there is a doctor's order it is perfectly legal. The resident could possibly go into DTs if they are used to getting it regularly. I work in a...

    seanynjboy posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  23. The math doesn't add up

    seanynjboy replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    What are you supposed to write... "Thank you for getting sick today and choosing to come to X establishment?" That is kind of preposterous. In regards to your actual "Math" question. I completely...

  24. Have dress codes changed for clinical prep?

    seanynjboy replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That is just disrespectful in my opinion. When a student is doing clinicals in my opinion it is kind of a LONG job interview and it also has a reflection on the school. We have uniform scrubs that we...
