  1. St. Alexius Bismark,ND

    RescueNinjaKy replied to jinglebellrocks25's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the pay is the same across the board for new grads. Bsn Will not get you extra money. Also the units pay the same I

  2. Nurses forced to work as aides

    RescueNinjaKy replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Apple's and oranges. The scope of practice for a cna is drastically lower than an rn, so the change in focus of tasks (not change in tasks because we do cna work anyways) Will not have much of an...

  3. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just to be devils advocate, you really shouldn't have your cell phone out, more so I'm psych. With psych, patients can be extra sensitive to the thought of their privacy being violated. And especially...

  4. Pixus waste never witnessed

    RescueNinjaKy replied to bella14k's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter what anyone else says, whether pharmacist, tech, doctor, other nurse, whoever. The license is yours and certainly for YOU to lose. So I would be more cautious getting meds for other...

  5. Was my professor out of line?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I think Heather really has it with this one. It is all about the balance. You cannot focus entirely on one and not the other. It's about carefully balancing both by using your critical thinking skills...

  6. COPD and O2 sat

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Soran's topic in Emergency

    I think the risk of losing the drive to breathe is greater at the 95% ish Sat. For someone at 68%, I don't think there is as much of a risk there. Certainly there should have been interventions done...

  7. Nurses forced to work as aides

    RescueNinjaKy replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My only issue is with people who refuse to do any cna work. It is part of the job, and it certainly is a part of what we signed up for. Op, I don't know if you meant to come off as this type but...

  8. Nurses forced to work as aides

    RescueNinjaKy replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have to disagree, cna is part of the job description. I see nothing wrong with people who dislike doing it all day but inpatient rns really did sign up for the possibility of it. Just like in...

  9. Nurses forced to work as aides

    RescueNinjaKy replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's quite the blanketing statement on the younger generation based on a few. Saying that older experienced nurses eat their young and are crabby senile witches annoys me, but making those...

  10. Sanford Relocation Help!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RNCalifornia18's topic in General Nursing

    I was able to find a place at Northwood commons. Fairly close to the hospital at Broadway and not that expensive. 700 for 2 room

  11. I need help with understanding how do a care plan.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lharley132010's topic in General Students

    At all nurses, people love to help but generally we would like to know what you have so far. To get started, understand the criteria that your instructor has set. How many nursing diagnosis does she...

  12. New grad program?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to setownsley's topic in Nursing Career

    My question is are jobs a plentiful in your area, because most new grads are at the grab whatever you can

  13. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It would help if you quoted your "stalkers" otherwise you seem

  14. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    If you're gullible enough to believe such a blanketing smoke out of the butt kind of statement then you need to make some reevaluating. I am not saying you're not smart, nothing like that but you seem...

  15. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Then your professors did huge disservice to the students and the profession. No nurse is ever above that kind of care. We can delegate when we're busy but if we got a free moment and the patient needs...

  16. ADN in NY

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ChrisB718's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hospitals tend to pay more and you really do see and learn a lot more there. A thing to note though is that even with a bsn, getting a hospital job with snf/rehab/clinic experience can still be tough....

  17. How Often Do You Check...?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    For certain medications such as for hypertension, it's important to check v/s prior especially for beta blockers in the event that their pulse is low. It's generally good to check their bp/pulse again...

  18. Was Pharm a biggie on the nclex-rn?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to northmississippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My suggestion is that get a prep system, personally I used Kaplan. After you take a test/question trainer there you can see which areas you're getting wrong. Focus on those area. Study the general...

  19. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ooh gee me and my sympathy are such bad people. Sorry, didn't realize you could make snap judgments and label my post as mockery and disgusting but I can't. But since you know me so well, it's alright...

  20. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't understand why you're offended or find what I said degrading or disgusting. My post was directed at ppl who say they didn't know they had to do this or that because a simple research will show...

  21. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As a nurse you will be doing some cna work not only cna work so really to say if one cannot do cna for a year do not belong in nursing is quite the over reaching statement. And quite frankly in my...

  22. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Those who don't research their own career field before investing time and money deserve to lie in whatever proverbial bed they made. And if one can get through nursing school and still not realize...

  23. Was Pharm a biggie on the nclex-rn?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to northmississippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you look at the breakdown it shows that the amount of Pharm questions went down while other subjects went

  24. Advice when handing in my resume in person

    RescueNinjaKy replied to smiley28's topic in New York Nursing

    Not that I'm telling you to do it because I personally don't think it's a good idea in New York, but when I did clinicals, I could walk just about anywhere with my scrubs and no one would stop

  25. Sanford Relocation Help!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RNCalifornia18's topic in General Nursing

    Cityscapes looks so pretty and close to the hospital but they don't have studio or 1 room
