  1. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RescueNinjaKy replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That sounds excessive that only an icu nurse can push cardiac drugs on a telemetry floor. Your hospital doesn't have a step down or progressive floor? We push cardizem, lopressor, dig, all the time....

  2. In what setting does an RN do the most thorough physical assessments and health histories?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    You need to go shadow a nurse. You seem to have entered this field with very little knowledge of what actually goes on. You are overthinking about many things. You are still a student, a fairly new...

  3. Nursing: The Highly Skilled Customer Service Representative

    RescueNinjaKy replied to gleanns's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately the patients believe that we are there to wait on them like servers and waiters/waitresses, their idea of customer service and satisfaction in the hospital is the same as if they were in...

  4. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Once again, the student was going to WING it. That is DANGEROUS. The patient was also aware the patient was going to wing it, so the patient was uncomfortable. The instructor taking over was...

  5. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

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

    Oooh mittens and restraints, how

  6. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    What bus are we throwing her under? Are you insinuating that she is blameless? We are simply providing critique and pointing out that she made a mistake. That's hardly throwing someone under a bus. We...

  7. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Did you read the part where the patient was scared and nervous? Do you think that it is appropriate or therapeutic to let a fumbling student nurse to continue to fumble around a scared patient who...

  8. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Did you read the part about this being the third clinical warning? How many chances should there be? I mean after the first warning, a prudent student would be actively trying to improve and trying to...

  9. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RescueNinjaKy replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That strikes me as a tad unsafe. If there are issues with changes in rhythm, the techs notify me or another nurse. Sure there can be some artifact or leads coming off and those are fine to delegate to...

  10. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I think the majority of nurses here find issue with her trying to wing it. You do not wing anything in nursing. It's one thing to be unprepared, speak up before you get to the patient. The instructor...

  11. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Honey, I'm a nurse, not a saint. I don't poop rainbows and sprout flowers wherever I walk just because I got my license as a nurse. Because you are new and not yet a nurse, I am telling you this with...

  12. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RescueNinjaKy replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Well for starters a tele techs scope of practice is completely different from an RNs. And I don't understand how this prevents the primary RN from giving a solid SBAR. The tele tech is basically an...

  13. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RescueNinjaKy replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I work in a cardiac progressive care floor and we are required to have training in ekg interpretation and acls within 6 months of hire. But honestly any changes that happens is usually noticed by the...

  14. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ah crap, I got a buzz cut going on. Anyone want to lend me their long luxurious hair so I can do some hair tosses like a Pantene commercial. All while saying "Easy breezy beautiful, cover boy". I'm...

  15. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    If you did not know what you were doing then you needed to ask questions or state that before it ever got to the point where you're right next to the patient about to do it. It is your responsibility...

  16. ACLS next week

    RescueNinjaKy replied to kumonile's topic in General Nursing

    Basically know which one are shockable rhythm. Vfib and pulse less vtach are shock right away. Also your crash carts should have the algorithms on it. For either svt or extreme Brady you gotta know...

    Oh lord, I remember when axe was the craze back then and you couldn't go anywhere without drowning in that

  18. WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    RescueNinjaKy replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm aware, the reason why I ask is because there are posters who say zofran has virtually no adverse effects, which is not

    I need you to stay far far away from

  20. WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    RescueNinjaKy replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Doesn't zofran cause/exacerbate qt prolongation? Does the patient have any heart

  21. Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    Things that make one suspect that there is a psychiatric issue would be more delusions of grandeur and statements of persecutions/psychosis. And the prior poster pointed out the fact that proper...

  22. Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    This is quite possible the result of English being your second language but you are seriously reading too much into this. In no way or form did the previous poster call you stupid for incorrect use of...

  23. Sanford in Fargo

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ashme's topic in General Nursing

    I really like gaining that experience on my floor. I come from a state that is very selective on hiring and as such I wasn't able to break into the market. So far I have been learning a lot and I...

  24. Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    Allnurses is a place where opinions, ideas, and questions are shared freely. It is not a place to go for hugs only. Of course there are some people who are supportive all the time and some who are...

    Omg that's what I use too. We're like twin sisters except I'm a
