  1. Safe telemetry unit?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to jdenni12's topic in Cardiac

    On my cardiac progressive floor we have 5 patients on night shift. I have gotten 6 but that is not the norm. I get cardizem, amio, heparin drips as well. We also have insulin, dobutamine, and lasix...

  2. Was my Professor wrong...

    RescueNinjaKy replied to loving2024's topic in General Students

  3. What would say to a nurse shadowing you

    RescueNinjaKy replied to cloa513's topic in General Nursing

  4. Really, is this real?!?!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to FlossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly it comes down to either suck it up and motor through or to quit and look for employment elsewhere. That's the blunt and sad truth. If you think you can find a job in another facility I would...

  6. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

  7. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

  9. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Students, I just want you to understand this: Nurses don't resent the students, they resent the sense of entitlement SOME students are displaying. We are NOT there for YOU. And don't play that nurses...

  10. Males considering nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to gaits72's topic in Men in Nursing

    My advice is to not do nursing. First of all, the job market does not look good for nursing right now, especially if you're a new grad. Do some research on it. Second of all, if you don't like...

  11. Did I say something wrong?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Pkin1477's topic in General Nursing

    There are just some people out there that likes to play victim and make things difficult. If it's part of their job then just do it. What do you want from me? A gift basket for doing your job? I don't...

  14. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Oh no, my apologies if you thought I was calling you a student nurse. I thought we were sharing pet peeves, you shared yours about bitter nurses and i reciprocated with my tidbit on student nurses....

  15. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I also want to put out how obnoxious it is, and interesting, I suppose to a few, how many students there are on this thread who are giving off the "I know everything already even though I'm a student,...

  17. Chose med surg like I'm supposed to, but really unhappy.

    RescueNinjaKy replied to enytsyrhk572's topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. All Men Shift

    RescueNinjaKy replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    The redonkulousness of this thread is strong. Men should just stay home and not do anything lest their primitive lust drive them into a sexual frenzy in the throngs of the

  20. Considering CNA to LPN, advise needed

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ehausler4147's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some people are horrible to others regardless of their job title. Personally on my floor, the lpns are treated and respected as any other colleague. Also I don't know where the generalization that...

    RescueNinjaKy replied to jonie8693's topic in Cardiac

    Hmm, now that we established that her saturation levels aren't too concerning and it's her baseline, what about her cyanosis? I mean if she's looking blue and pale, shouldn't something be done? I'm...

  23. Guys did you have a role model that inspired you to become a nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey I'm a guy and I don't have any guy nurses that I look up to, but I have plenty of female nurses that I look up to. The above was just for clarifications sake but honestly in today's world, we...
