    Do you run a primary with secondary??

    Super_RN replied to LizRN626's topic in General Nursing

    It just depends. Sometimes doctors order total IV rate to be set at such and such #, so then no, I don't run them concurrently. Other times I do. Just depends on the patient. :)

    desperately needed someones help

    Super_RN replied to babyromo06's topic in General Nursing

    Well it sounds as if money is the main issue here...Is there a certain reason you want to make at least $100,000 per year other than just "wanting it"? Travel nursing includes bonuses which I am sure...

    ways to educate yourself

    Super_RN replied to [email protected]'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would suggest finding another job, if possible. Your pleas obviously aren't being answered and are not important to her. You need to find someone who will appreciate what you do.

    My skin keeps breaking out!!!!

    Super_RN replied to Super_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen ads for it and I thought maybe it was too good to be true as well. They have stuff at Wal-mart along the same lines called Acne Free--3 step program even--I wonder if it would work the...

    Doctors "firing" patients

    Super_RN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know if it is common, but it happens. Would you want a patient under your care that was not compliant? I sure wouldn't! The doctors where I work send a letter to the patient, informing them...

    Why Are 12 hour shifts the standard?

    Super_RN replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because in some places (like where I work) 12 hour nurses only get paid 36 hours, not 40. Also, if other people are like me, I am more willing to pick up overtime since I only work 3 nights...

    Newbie Question about "Blown Veins"

    That's exactly what I was going to add! I am often more successful without a tourniquet on elderly people. :balloons:

    When I was 17 I had to have blood drawn for something...believe me, you crying is not a big deal. I was hysterical and crying and sobbing...people had to hold me down. The nurse was like, "Is she...

    I am so used to working night shift that I don't darken my room. I am often tired enough to fall asleep without the light bothering

    It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    What would you do?

    Super_RN replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in General Nursing

    I would think this may not be such a great start for you. 4:1 ratios is horrible for ICU, let alone fresh post-op. And LPN's pusing cardiac meds? Um, no thank you. Not to offend anyone, but as far...

    What shift was your first job?

    Super_RN replied to jaylynn67's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was hired for a float shift, but worked mostly days. I gave that up for 7p-7a, 3 nights a week. Considered full time and love the shift. I work with great staff and wouldn't have it any other...

    Graduation Ceremony Woes

    Super_RN replied to MKANS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can understand why you are upset. Just don't appear angry at the meeting, be calm and let her know why it is important for you and the other classmates. When I graduated, I had my parents pin me...

    Super_RN replied to jlp2778's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just a piece of advice that probably won't really work... Just let it go until you get your results. You will worry yourself to death about it and there is nothing you can do to change it now! Try...

    Questions about death

    Super_RN replied to ER1010's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I agree. NO ONE should suffer. People deserve to pass away pain free and with dignity. I just recently lost my grandfather to cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma and he had an agonizing death. I live 500...
