  1. Pressure ulcer during prolonged surgery always happens?

    enuf_already replied to RachelHuang's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you ask? Is this homework? What surgeries can you think of where patients would be prone to pressure ulcers? What do you think could be done? Let's hear your thoughts

  2. I failed Nclex 3 times in Florida. Considering taking boards in another state

    enuf_already replied to scrubs4life0517's topic in General Students

    Are you going to move and work in another state? If you plan to get licensed in FL they may not let you endorse unless you remediate, even if you are licensed in another state. Considering it's the...

  3. This week, I learned (7/18).....

    enuf_already replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that a week at work does not equal a week of vacation. The clock slows down and 40 hours becomes 400 while you are working. During vacation, 40 hours is equivalent to 4 minutes. Vacation...

  4. Fired for Pyxis discrepancy

    enuf_already replied to Kristen75's topic in Patient Medications

    Did the other nurse actually sign the waste in the

  5. The answer to "no skills new grads." Are you ready for the DEU?

    enuf_already replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    If a preceptor is willing to do this for "no pay" and the responsibilities are spelled out and all parties agree, then why not? No pay would not be a deal breaker for me. Like another poster, we...

  6. Doulbing Up NRSE Courses

    enuf_already replied to Lindesay's topic in Ohio University

    Lindesay...I think you will find that much of the difficulty of the program can be dependent on which teaching assistant is teaching your group. I graduated when they were whittling down the number...

  7. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    enuf_already replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    You said the behavior was unethical but didn't elaborate therefore we are supposed to take your word about ethical vs unethical. I don't approve of unethical behavior but I don't have enough...

  8. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    enuf_already replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Well LazyCNA, I would suggest you not stick your thing in anyone lest you want it permanently disabled or available for prison use only. Your own screen name, LazyCNA and your name calling of other...

  9. What nursing task do you loathe???

    enuf_already replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Viva, I can't even stand to watch someone brush his/her own teeth without gagging. Left adult care, so that solved the denture

  10. Lost CNA Hospital job

    enuf_already replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    Well for some reason the quote feature won't work on my phone but this post is directed at the OP who refuses to take responsibility for her firing. Continue to be in denial. I've worked over 30...

  11. Lost CNA Hospital job

    enuf_already replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    If your hospital network does an Internet search, you may not have to worry about whether you will be hired at another facility or whether they will be fair. You have given the name of the hospital...

  12. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

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

    If there is a next time where you have to leave early and she has any of your patients, leave her a written report then follow it up with a phone call for questions she may have. I would not give her...

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

    enuf_already replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Had she consumed a large amount of food and suddenly had no bowel sounds? I personally see no reason for her to be intubated or that her airway was somehow compromised. You place her at a bigger...

  14. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    There is a stark difference between being an introvert and hating humanity. I'm not sure that if I disliked people as much as the OP claims s/he does that I would bother going into a profession that...

  15. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    enuf_already replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    [Complications in thyroid surgery: symptomatic post-operative hypoparathyroidism incidence, surgical technique, and treatment]. - PubMed - NCBI Hoorificeness itself doesn't kill anyone. Now if you are...

  16. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    enuf_already replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    What symptoms would you get with airway occlusion and what would you see with calcium

  17. Hoarseness vs hypocalcemia? Which will kill you first?

    enuf_already replied to LM NY's topic in General Students

    Hoorificeness could be a normal result of intubation and not necessarily a symptom of airway occlusion. I woke up hoorifice after abdominal surgery all due to

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

    enuf_already replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Had a teen come in and get a CT to rule out a skull fracture from a fall and there was a brain tumor on the CT. Did a spine MRI on a toddler to rule out tethered cord. Spine was fine but had primary...

  19. Your worst nightmare

    enuf_already replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    OP, by reading your posts, there seems to be a huge disparity between nursing and the healthcare system in the UK vs the U.S. Maybe nurses here have a lot more autonomy, are trained to follow a set...

  20. I will not defend nurses anymore

    enuf_already replied to lost soul's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, to show she hadn't "ingested" them. I think the OP meant digested but who knows? I also find it interesting that OP is angry about no snack with pills. Order something with meals within your...

  21. Per Diem termination due weird cirucmstances

    enuf_already replied to Climbernurse112's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm confused. Are you a nurse and you were working as a CNA or are you still in school to become an RN? You mentioned CNA then license renewal and that got me lost. Either way, I believe as another...

  22. Threatened when I tried to leave job

    enuf_already replied to Rnplus mom's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you'll be in a heap of trouble for failing to provide care for dead people. Obviously this director is not a nurse--or let's hope not. If so, she can finish your job. I wonder if they...

  23. Esme welcome back!!!!

    enuf_already replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Your body really likes to go all out when it has a problem doesn't it? Maybe it was missing the hospital food. 😳 Glad to hear you are back on the mend. I noticed you were AWOL again and kept...

  24. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    enuf_already replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    And they suddenly wake up after 6 months in a coma (still intubated, not trached), and everyone rushes to the bed to extubate them. They walk out of the hospital just a few days later suffering no...

  25. Quit during orientation

    enuf_already replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    OP, just because you have time and can study on company time doesn't mean you should, especially as a new employee. If I had a new PCT that just started and was already finding tons of downtime, we'd...
