  1. Crisis stabilization unit-common medications

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello! For those of you in acute care/emergency psych facilities, would you mind sharing some of your commonly administered medications, both for emergency treatment, as well as maintenance for the...

  2. Crisis stabilization unit-common medications

    caughtbuckinoff replied to caughtbuckinoff's topic in Psychiatric

    Not at all curious that someone had something sarcastic to say. God forbid I don't check the online forum every day. Shame on me. Thank you to all that replied, I really appreciate it! I got the job...

  3. Night nurse

    caughtbuckinoff replied to lasair's topic in Psychiatric

    I would be quite matter-of-fact with him. Not nasty, but simply telling him that his attitude makes it difficult for you to cooperate with him. Night or day, you are a team and he needs to treat you...

  4. Any peri operative nursing book recommendations?

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Operating Room

    Anyone have a favorite that they'd

  5. Describe your 10/10 pain. Piggybacking off of recent pain discussions.

    caughtbuckinoff replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I have a great ability to forget pain shortly after it happens. I got kicked in the knee by a horse. Separated my knee cap. It hurt A LOT, but it was super sharp, super fast, and that...

  6. Any peri operative nursing book recommendations?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to caughtbuckinoff's topic in Operating Room

    I graduate in December. I'm sure that would really benefit me but nursing school is expensive and time consuming as is. Sucks the life right outta

  7. Any peri operative nursing book recommendations?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to caughtbuckinoff's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you for the suggestions! As a student very interested in the OR, would joining the AORN be a good decision? It's a bit expensive, but if it would offer me a leg up and help me better understand...

  8. What's YOUR Dream Job?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    OR nursing. I like having one patient at a time. I like that my interaction is limited to a smaller group of people (I get socially exhausted after excessive interaction with people, like I currently...

  9. Working crazy hours

    caughtbuckinoff replied to francoml's topic in General Nursing

    To answer simply, yes, you're crazy.

  10. if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    Horse trainer. One that actually makes money enough to live comfortably on. This, unfortunately, is nearly impossible. Also, I'm probably not good enough anyway. Still, It's hard for me to be unhappy...

  11. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Our hospital system is color coded. Nurses do get the choice of royal blue or white or a mix of the two. CNAs wear light blue. Pediatric RNs and CNAs can wear pattern/character tops. The only thing...

  12. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    Thankfully I've yet to run into a nurse that wanted to eat me. I've run into a few during clinicals that didn't want to deal with a student but they were subtle enough that I didn't feel like too much...

  13. what type of watch do you prefer?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to amazingdaisy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    All metal Fossil watches. We have a few outlets in my area so a good looking, durable watch is $40 from them. There is a huge variety of styles in that price range. They may have digital watches but...

  14. Danskos hurting top of foot?

    caughtbuckinoff posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Got a pair of Danskos for my birthday a while back and started using them recently. They really do relieve all the pain on the bottoms of my feet, which is wonderful. The downside is that when I wear...

  15. Med Surg and Pharm Together? Can it be done sucessfully?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to RNOrchid's topic in General Students

    Our school has the students taking Advanced Pharmacology and Adult 1 (essentially med-surg) in the same semester. Luckily we have an AMAZING pharm teacher so there aren't too many people struggling....

  16. Anyone doing well?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    I don't think that's what the thread is really about. The "book smarts" tends to be the most difficult aspect of nursing school. I know that there are a few people that chose nursing and find the...

  17. One thing

    caughtbuckinoff replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    I must be lucky. I've enjoyed most of my professors and even the few that I wasn't terribly fond of weren't bad. I like my classmates too. Save for the hefty time commitment, I like just about...

  18. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    caughtbuckinoff replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't have a problem with an overweight doctor or nurse telling me to eat better. Or a skinny one. Either way is fine with me. The only thing that gets me is how someone sees the results of poor...

  19. Danskos hurting top of foot?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to caughtbuckinoff's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the replies, glad I'm not too outta whack, lol. My feet have plenty of room so I don't think it's a width problem in my case. I've only had them a short time so I'll wait it out and see how...

  20. Muslim nursing students

    caughtbuckinoff replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    Long sleeves are not an infection control issue in my area. Most nurses wear long sleeves under their scrub tops. If you are treated differently by your employer, you have yourself a nice lawsuit....

  21. Jealous that I have no life

    caughtbuckinoff replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    Please don't feel too badly. You're man is working to get you through school and hopefully you can give him a break once you graduate. I'd suggest talking to him about setting aside some time for you,...

  22. The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    caughtbuckinoff replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Students

    I don't think that I've used anything but APA format in college so far. I was a Microbiology major beforehand and any research papers were in APA format. It's definitely not exclusive to nursing...

  23. What jobs did you do before nursing?

    caughtbuckinoff replied to nursefrances's topic in General Nursing

    Not quite a nurse yet, but I've worked in restaurants (every job but management, nooo waaay to that, lol) most of my working life. I have always trained horses and gave riding lessons on the side up...

  24. Social Butterfly or stay to self?????

    caughtbuckinoff replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    Do what makes you happy. If you like to socialize, do it. If you prefer not to, then keep to yourself. There really are no loners in our class, everyone has a group or people that you'll see them...
