    Help when calling the md

    Julius Seizure replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't directly answering your question, but lets talk about insulin for a minute. I didn't understand it well when I was a new nurse, so don't feel bad about any confusion. And if you already...

    What do you think about this psychiatrist?

    Julius Seizure replied to vaspap's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno but I would be very surprised if this conversation didn't include a strong recommendation to see a therapist. I can't imagine the doc said "go find a supported living apartment" and that was...

    Unique Circumstance Applying to Accelerated BSN. Need advice and guidance..

    Julius Seizure replied to ruralmed101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My opinion is that you shouldn't worry too much about any stigma that may or may not exist in some peoples minds. I think that an ABSN program would certainly be a possibility for you and it doesn't...

    I don't care what they call themselves; all I want to know is what category my insurance is going to bill me for (urgent care is so much

    Working with a disability, How to reduce student loans?

    Julius Seizure replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are frugal by nature, which is good. To become savvy, it will help to learn the basics of retirement planning, investing, and how to lower your tax burden. I agree with the others...

    What is your worst visitor story?

    Julius Seizure replied to nordie's topic in General Nursing

    Parent of sedated PICU patient who I guess really liked benzos. Knew that the syringe of Versed would beep if it was taken off of the pump, so they apparently unscrewed the tubing and sucked some med...

    "The difference between 4:1 and 8:1 patient-to-nurse staffing ratios is approximately 1,000 patient deaths (Aiken, Clarke, Sloan et al., 2002)." Could you clarify? 1,000 patient deaths...per year? Or...

    Julius Seizure replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    For that matter, wouldn't putting the offending candy at the nurses station be a cardinal sin in the first place? Food in a patient care area??? Somebody should be held responsible for that! ASSEMBLE...

    Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    Julius Seizure replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be silly. The reward for meeting the CLABSI/CAUTI goal is a congratulatory email from management. MAYBE a pizza party for the unit, or a cookie tray from the cafeteria. Not actual

    Julius Seizure replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    So frustrating. When I first graduated college, I made good money compared to most of my friend group. After about five years, a lot of them had far surpassed me, while my pay had increased...

    Julius Seizure replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. Those probably are all the units most likely to have a lot of call requirements. I would still be upset if you aren't getting cost of living

    Julius Seizure replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    Not even cost of living increases? If not, you are essentially getting paid less every year! I would be upset about that regardless of what this raise for only some units was
