  1. How to Start an IV with an Ultrasound Machine: Transverse Mode

    Delia37 replied to Damon McGill's topic in Critical Care

    Very informative post. I wish that skill was part of the teaching curriculum for ICU and ED nurses; there had been evidence-based research that correlates a decreased in the need of PICC/central line...

  2. Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    Delia37 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Right?!! I am scratching my head after reading some of these responses defending her. People saying that what she did was a mistake, are not obviously critical care nurses. What she did was...

  3. Preceptors for MSN online Educators

    Delia37 replied to never2kerley's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    For anyone looking from MSN preceptors, I highly encourage you to contact the nursing directors of your local community colleges/universities. That is what I did when my hospital educator left me...

  4. Have you ever wanted to see a coworker fail?

    Delia37 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I am missing something; all this negative energy spends on a stranger... I hope your practice is not affected when working with this individual, since you seem so distracted by her....

  5. Any RNs or NPs who are also lawyers?

    Delia37 replied to mmCA's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious, why do feel that you need to disclose that information to

  6. Have you ever experienced doctors wanting to administer meds instead of the nurse?

    Delia37 replied to existentialoasis's topic in General Nursing

    It is not that deep, let it go. It is an ego

  7. What Kind of Patients Do You LIKE Most?

    Delia37 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As an ICU nurse...Sedated and

  8. Being a nurse of color.

    Delia37 replied to JayKC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the above poster. These interactions (eye rolling and what not) need to be addressed in real time; meaning, when it occurs, pull the person aside and had that conversation. That way, if...

  9. False Documentation & Relationships

    Delia37 replied to Curiouscat12345's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Makes you wonder what else they are doing "as a team". Is there any way they can be scheduled on different dates or far away from each other?? That definitely should be addressed by your manager (not...

  10. New Grad Orientation Doesn't Feel Safe or Supportive

    Delia37 replied to Camillus_Was_a_Murse's topic in General Nursing

    This does not sound like a good fit for you. As many had mentioned, start applying in other places, but definitely leave this one out of your

  11. Misunderstanding in ER

    Delia37 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting discussion. To the OP, sorry for the bad experience. Going to a hospital for any reason, is already stressful enough, without adding feeling like a child who did something wrong. I don't...

  12. Nocturnal Muscle Cramps

    Delia37 replied to Danielle BSN's topic in Patient Education

    ...I guess the hydration aspect of it, can be

  13. Discrimination Allegations

    Delia37 replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...this is crazy. I totally get what you mean. I am lucky to work in a facility that employs really big security guards and all they have to do is show up. I would say 85% of the time,...

  14. Clinical Instructor

    Delia37 replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Please, stay out of it. Let your daughter handle

  15. ICU Nurses, Clear The Pumps q1hr and Document Or...

    Delia37 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question, personally I've never come across this practice (been in ICU for 21 years). I agree with JBM; this seems unnecessary and frankly, very unsafe. The manager and the educator (s)...

  16. Unique Offer from Work

    Delia37 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would probably go these routes, rather than take the employer's offer. She makes it sound like it is impossible to find an

  17. Fired. How To Get Over It.

    Delia37 replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Career

    ...and they even bothered to report you to the BRN?!! Did you have other prior issues? There has to be more to this because, there is no

  18. Public Service Loan Forgiveness question

    Delia37 replied to als522's topic in General Nursing

    Also make sure your loans are consolidated (the requirement is for, at least, 120 payments). Mine were not and I was denied, even though I've been paying into it all these years and work at an...

  19. How do nurses work with headphones on?

    Delia37 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    ...It kind of amazes me that this need to be explained to trained

  20. Finding travel buddies for vacations as a TN?

    Delia37 replied to ResumeRN's topic in Travel

    For the reasons you had mentioned, I've conditioned myself to travel alone (which I prefer, most of the time). facebook offer several groups for solo travelers to connect; personally, I like "Host A...

  21. Housing for travel nurses

    Delia37 replied to Lebi's topic in Travel

    I've used the FB groups, "Rent to Travel Nurses and other travel professionals" and "Travel Nurse Housing-The Gypsy Nurse" when traveling out of state. There you can find everything from a single room...

  22. Is this mocking patients?

    Delia37 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    ...It is the lack of common sense, for me

  23. MSN Preceptor for WGU

    Delia37 replied to brittisbecomingnurse's topic in Nurse Management

    Hope you found someone by now; if not, consider reaching out to your local community colleges and universities (found out the name of the program director and email

  24. In slump, need advices…

    Delia37 replied to AriaRN01's topic in General Nursing

    That is one of the beauty of nursing, there are so many specialties to chose from. If changing specialties is not something you would contemplate; consider going back to school for something else,...

  25. Unable to get complex patients assigned to me

    Delia37 replied to SometimesRN's topic in Critical Care

    Agree with the previous posts...they don't know you. Make sure to offer your assistance to others and show interest in the more complicated cases by stopping by and offering to assist those nurses....
