  1. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Splendid!

  2. Your monitoring program allow whipits?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does your monitoring program allow you to use whipits? I will confess to using whipits during monitoring. For those who don't know, they aren't addictive. Do you, or have you ever used, whip its?...

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It wasn't a loss of thickness that I was seeing. It was just a shortening of the hair to like a crew cut. It was shorter though -- like actually buzzed as if she were in the

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Shallow and ludicrous as it is, it's popular. The problem with the woman with the military style buzz cut was that it was cut so close to her scalp that you could see like, pimples from ingrown...

  5. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    RNdynamic replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    People are talking about asking homework questions? What does that mean? It sounds as though it means something more than asking help for school homework? Or do people actually think the OP is...

    RNdynamic replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    What does it mean to ask a homework

  7. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    RNdynamic replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone else in this thread is wrong; don't stay out of it. Tip the employee off anonymously. Leave a note for her saying what you heard and why. That way you can feel satisfied knowing you did...

  8. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    You're correct. I do believe that. If a person is willing, I don't think critical care is out of anybody's grasp. Real controversial I

  9. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Haha well unfortunately I'm in a monitoring program because I'm an alcoholic/addict in recovery so the klonopin is out of the question. Not sure risperidone is the right fit for me. Last January I...

  10. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Acts like what? I'm not saying I was nurse of the year that night. I could have done better but I was fairly inexperienced and I was keeping with what I thought was status quo. It's unlikely that...

  11. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    RNdynamic replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You will likely not lose your license or have any license related action taken against you for falsifying a medical record. More likely you just have to take a short ethics class. I had to do this...

  12. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Well, first what I tried to do was to take tylenol tablets and jam them into the back of the patient's mouth hoping it would cure him. I thought tylenol could bring people back to life when I first...

  13. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    It's true; mistakes are going to happen. I remember once I was on the med-surg floor and one of my patients had advanced alzheimers, couldn't get out of the chair, just mumbled gibberish in order to...

    RNdynamic replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Your instructor is an idiot on a power trip. Case closed.

  15. Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    RNdynamic replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    They put you on probation for 2 months over this **********? What kind of ********* do you work

  16. Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    RNdynamic replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    Uhm, it's just lasix. You aren't going to kill anybody with lasix. Relax. It isn't as if you overdosed them with IV digoxin. Don't make a mountain out of a

  17. Do you see ethnic tensions at work?

    RNdynamic replied to princessgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I've seen ethnic tension. The worst, from my experience, arises in the situation of Filipino nurses vs American nurses, I've noticed. Filipino nurses gravitate toward ICUs because they imagine...

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Did I mention anywhere that I recently huffed? All I've said was that I've done it. Could have been last week, could have been last

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It works if you work it so work it you're worth it and

  20. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have no such grandiose illusions. I'm a regular staff nurse in a cardiothoracic ICU. I'm in my late 20s. I don't consider myself to be either extraordinary or terrible. I do my job as best as I...

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It would be a bad bet. I'm an RN and an EMT, but not a doctor or med

  22. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Cans? I've only used chargers. I don't know anybody who uses cans. How so? I'm in monitoring too. I have the same set of challenges ahead of me that they do. Recovery is not something you "move...

  23. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is huffing any worse than drinking? Or snorting? Or shooting up? You guys are being a little disrespectful and possibly violating community guidelines. Please try to keep in mind that we have a lot...

  24. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You're a bit off topic. I have a thread about whip its if you guys want to talk more about whip its. I don't mind. I created another about mental health if you are interested in that

  25. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Few things: (1) I've never done whip-its while at work. They don't last any longer than about 30 seconds either. So that isn't very germane to my professionalism. But it's fun to talk about...
