  1. Lack of respect for nurses

    nicuRN2007 replied to nicuRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I will definitely check out those books. Thanks for your reply and letting me know I'm not the only one frustrated by

  2. I got the job!

    nicuRN2007 replied to fun1007's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't really have any advice, but good

  3. two job offers, need help comparing?

    nicuRN2007 replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this is off topic, but I'm confused. How have you already passed the NCLEX if you aren't graduating until May? Can you do that in some

  4. Took NCLEXRN yesterday 3/6!

    nicuRN2007 replied to vegnurse21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  5. I got the job!

    nicuRN2007 replied to fun1007's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congratulations! I graduate in May, and I was just offered a job in the NICU too! I'm very excited. One less thing to worry about,

  6. did y ou all go to pinning ceremony?

    nicuRN2007 replied to Ms.RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate in May, and I will absolutely go to my pinning ceremony. I am very much looking forward to it. Nursing school has been a long, hard road, and this is our chance to celebrate and be...

  7. Did you work when going to nursing school?

    nicuRN2007 replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest getting a job as a nurse extern if possible. (May be called something different in your area, like nurse apprentice or something.) Around here, all hospitals let their externs pretty much...

  8. IV Drug Book?

    nicuRN2007 replied to nicuRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Mulan. Do you have this

  9. IV Drug Book?

    nicuRN2007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a nurse once in a clinical rotation in ICU that had a good IV drug book, but I don't remember what it was called, and I can't find it on the internet. Does anyone have one that they...

  10. Possible new nurse show/pilot

    nicuRN2007 replied to group_theory's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds

  11. Scripting Nurses?

    nicuRN2007 replied to Cindylufus's topic in General Nursing

    That's ridiculous. I think nurses are competent enough to decide for themselves what needs to be said. And saying "I have the time for you" every time you go into a patients room would just be...

  12. Removing needle from syringe

    nicuRN2007 replied to GM1987's topic in General Nursing

    Many syringes don't come with a needle attached so you can choose the correct needle size yourself, or remove the needle to attach the syringe to an IV port. Or you may need one type of needle to...

  13. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    nicuRN2007 replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not. I think RN's work way to hard to be making $11/hr. RN's start around 18-19/hr around here, and I think that's pushing it. IMO, RN's deserve at least

  14. Med error could cost my job? Need help!

    nicuRN2007 replied to dmwRNpa's topic in General Nursing

    Don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to tell you that I believe you are telling the truth. So sorry this has happened to you, and I wish you the best. Keep us

  15. How is overtime calculated with shift diffs?

    nicuRN2007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know it may be different at different hospitals, but I've been wondering...how is overtime calculated with shift diffs and all? Let's say, for instance, my starting pay is $20.00/hr and I get a...

  16. what is with this 9 months business?

    nicuRN2007 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's because each month (except for Feb) is a little over 4 weeks making 40 weeks closer to 9 months than 10 months. For example...if my LMP was Jan 1, using Naegele's Rule and the 40 weeks from LMP...

  17. young LPN

    nicuRN2007 replied to nursehellokitty04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    nursehellokitty, I am sorry that I offended you; it was not my intention. No, I don't act all "prim and proper" at home; using punctuation is just a habit of mine. Good luck to

  18. young LPN

    nicuRN2007 replied to nursehellokitty04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi! I think it's very admirable that you became an LPN by the age of 20. To become a nurse at such a young age reflects a great deal of determination in my oppinion. I am wondering though... (and...

  19. ready to quit school, almost

    nicuRN2007 replied to catnip's topic in General Nursing

    In our program, the only thing that counts toward are final average is our tests. We have to take and pass a dosage and solutions exam at the beginning of the semester (with at least a 90%), and we...

  20. "Nurses are not professionals"

    nicuRN2007 replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire Oh, that makes me so mad. I used to say that if nursing doesn't work out for me (meaning, if I can't handle nursing), I may become an accountant. (Do see what I'm getting at?) I can...

  21. New grad recruitment

    nicuRN2007 replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure they would love to have you there. A lot of hospitals begin targeting nursing students months before they have graduated. I bet there will be many people there that haven't graduated

  22. facial mask of pain...is this ssubjective or objective data

    nicuRN2007 replied to juliasmommy's topic in General Students

    objective...it's something you observe, not something the patient tells you. Also, the link from Kaiser that siri posted states: The assessment of the patient with pain shall include objective data....

  23. Is there power in the color white?

    nicuRN2007 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great policy. At my hospital, just about everone (including the computer technicians) wears

  24. Is there power in the color white?

    nicuRN2007 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    this is true, but i don't know how to stop

  25. Is there power in the color white?

    nicuRN2007 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I just wish there was something that would make the nurses stand out from everyone else wearing scrubs. Much of the general public believes that everyone wearing scrubs is a nurse. (I'm still trying...
