  3. The sloppy image of nurses today

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I suppose we are really becoming hotels. Time to dress like a classy escort in a fancy hotel. I mean we already do first class room service due to management so why not take up the escorting services...

  5. New ER Nurse - Feel Like Quitting Job

    RescueNinjaKy replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Emergency

    When you feel that you really can't take any more patients you need to speak up. Talk to charge and let them know that you are stretched too thin. I have done that before as a new nurse and the charge...

  6. Sanford in Fargo

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ashme's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you're signing up for an incentive shift or picking up the texted needs shift, then it should be 1.5x. Now if you go into overtime then it's basically 2x total for incentive and overtime,...

  7. Current Male CNA/Patient Sitter & future nursing student

    RescueNinjaKy replied to jc0322's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm male and I'm a nurse. Haven't had any stigma really. Now the poop question is asked by everyone who doesn't know what nurses do regardless whether you're a male or female. There really aren't any...

  8. I was a cam model. Can I still be a nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Honestly I feel that it shouldn't matter. Who cares if you did Media in the past. It is a legitimate legal business and I feel that people shouldn't judge you for that. Whoever said nurses have to be...

  9. Telemetry

    RescueNinjaKy replied to dvycrcktt's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My response is no. Acls is easy to get, and on a telemetry floor you should know the basic rhythms and dysrhythmias, not just the vtach and

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ashme's topic in General Nursing

    Honey you can pick up as many shifts as you want on 2south. They are perpetually short staffed. When do you start

  12. Interview at Sanford

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ValerieRose2's topic in General Nursing

    They're really looking for you to provide safe care and critical thinking. If you don't know something you better be telling them that you will look it up in the policies or that you're going to ask a...

  13. Should I complete the program or shoud I leave?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to summer2000's topic in General Students

    I could totally be off base but Welcome to mediocrity. Similar to you, I had great grades in high school and in my pre reqs, and then that all went down hill once I was in nursing school. What you're...

  14. Do you stalk anyone here?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You know what they say about knowledge being

  15. How much did you really use your textbooks?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to aidyl93's topic in General Students

    Your core nursing text book will probably be used consistently. Some other textbook that they wanted me to have like community nursing and holistic nursing wasn't used at all almost. But the medical...

  16. Always feeling a bit anxious/stressful before each shift...need some tips/wanting to vent

    RescueNinjaKy replied to barcode120x's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You probably need some debriefing/validation. I'm basically at my 9 month mark and I haven't felt that anxiety in a while. I think it was somewhere along my 6th or 7th month that I started seeing all...

  17. Are extra classes needed before working in California?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RoMo2393's topic in Nurse Registration

    United States has 4 years of high school. I would think the extra classes that a nurse from the Philippines take would involve nursing theory and clinical practice rather than high school level...

  18. Contemplating on Vlog

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Queenoftrades's topic in General Students

    Not to mention how many co workers will know exactly what you're talking about when you talk about your work environment or a particularly hard day. This can result in a co worker who isn't too fond...

  19. Do you stalk anyone here?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Guess I do a lot of dating

  20. What do you think of this monitor?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to LelahRN2be's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't know what's going on here. For my floor, cardiac step down, these numbers are nothing alarming to me. Sure the RR is elevated, but eh if they don't feel short of breath, and they look...

  21. I want to quit job without giving 2 week notice, and I am at probation period.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to replica2013's topic in Nursing Career

    My thoughts exactly. You're getting a bad reference regardless. And you can choose to leave it off your resume but it will look bad when they ask you about it because then they know you're hiding...

  22. Question my instructor ask me

    RescueNinjaKy replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Heck I don't even notify them about normal results unless they specifically ask me to. They can look up the damn results themselves. Now critical lab results are a different

  25. First Incident Report

    RescueNinjaKy replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm gonna disagree on the potassium part. I've seen a patient go into torsades with a potassium of 3.2. Unresponsive and shocked them and got them back. But the point is that it can happen. If it can...
