    OB class makes me depressed...

    Orion81RN replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    I am infertile. I was in the process of learning that I most likely would never have kids while I was in my OB class. I had to sit in the back of class and hope no one saw tears come to my eyes at...

    Are there ever any raises in peds PD?

    Orion81RN replied to tami2017's topic in Private Duty

    I've worked at one agency for a year and a half with 2 performance reviews. Reviews were good, but no raise. I luckily found another agency that pays $6 more an hour. For "acute cases" the rate is...

    withholding medications ethical dilemma

    Orion81RN replied to WILLTHEMURSE's topic in General Nursing

    I was a sitter for 3 years while in nursing school. There was so much manipulation and pitting the sitter against the nurse. As a sitter, you're there all day with the patient who is constantly...

    Allegation of Neglect

    Orion81RN replied to jaortiz20's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This screams an attempt to cover up diversion. Good

    Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Orion81RN replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I don't find it wise to seek marital dispute validation on a nursing forum. This is a marital issue. You either respect your wife or you don't. If you "have no intention of catering to illogical...

    Broken chain of custody

    Orion81RN replied to dnorman's topic in General Nursing

    I think you read a tone that wasn't there. Try re-reading the comment with a nice tone in mind and you will see it probably wasn't meant to be read with a rude tone. It was a simple question with...

    Loud Cartoons for Elderly Patients

    I lost it at Daniel Tiger, but this comment....I cannot stop laughing. I'm picturing

    withholding medications ethical dilemma

    Orion81RN replied to WILLTHEMURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I'm certain that's where you got it from. I just find it ironic that your title mentions ethics. Meanwhile, you violated HIPAA. You stated you're in your last year of nursing school. You should...

    I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    Orion81RN replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    I truly am happy for you. Perhaps you can't fathom everyone's response in any given situation will be different. Especially with

    Orion81RN replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure you are not meaning it this way, but you are stating this in a "blaming the victim" kind of way. "Why did YOU..." "YOU sat there...WHY?" "You should have..." THIS IS PARTLY WHY PEOPLE DON'T...

    Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    Orion81RN replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmm Those "skills" sound like BS. One only gets good at them with time, AFTER nursing school. You stated this was a pilot program. They probably don't have a very good residency for new grads. Maybe...

    Delegation During Clinical

    Orion81RN replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    I understand all sides of it as I was a patient care technician (CNA), nursing student, and now a nurse. I'm not saying the majority of your time should be spent doing ADLs. But when a student has to,...

    Shift Report: Listening, no writing...

    Orion81RN replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    The only things I've needed to write down are tasks that still need to be completed that is being endorsed to me. And even then, I've never really looked at that list throughout the shift because I...

    Delegation During Clinical

    Orion81RN replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm picturing being the nursing assistant working and having a student try to delegate to me. Just...wow. In my opinion, this should be taught in class. But at clinical, aside from *asking* for...

    I forgot to clamp the peripheral IV site!!!

    Orion81RN replied to DH1234's topic in General Students

    Lol Now THAT could potentially be bad. Now I'm picturing you reading everyone else's comments, thinking she ran tons of fluids, horrified that everyone is saying, eh, no biggie

    I forgot to clamp the peripheral IV site!!!

    Orion81RN replied to DH1234's topic in General Students

    Am I missing something in OPs post? What fluids are you referring to? As I read it, the patient had no fluids ordered at the time. Just an IVP with a flush. What am I

    Clinical Instructor sucks...

    Orion81RN replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Students

    Use the time you are doing bed baths and diaper changes as an opportunity for building your assessment skills. Complete head to toe. Feel all the pulses, listen to as many lung sounds and hearts as...

    Clinical Instructor sucks...

    Orion81RN replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Students

    Ok, so this sounds like lab, not clinical. Not the same thing even if your school is calling it clinical. And in real clinical, an instructor can only have so many students. There is a cap to the...

    Have you argued against a Clinical Warning?

    Orion81RN replied to Decisions7's topic in General Students

    This!!! I fought for myself over a write up over an untrue allegation. It put a target on my back, and I can't believe to this day that I graduated, because my instructors sure did try to get me...

    Getting pregnant during last semester or during new job?

    This is the most disgusting, derogatory comment I have ever seen on this

    Getting pregnant during last semester or during new job?

    Orion81RN replied to Steph82997's topic in General Students

    Really? There are plenty of married dad's trying to "slide into my DMs" as the kids say. Husband does not equate to great father. Or life partner for that

    Getting kicked out because of panic attack

    Orion81RN replied to Embrisi's topic in General Students

    Wow. That is absolutely insane. I am so sorry. I have severe performance anxiety with role playing scenarios, but that has never crossed over to real hands on patient care. I'd bring that up if they...
