    Coming Soon? Will Nurses be Taking Over the Lab?

    Julius Seizure replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    So, in my ICU, we aren't allowed to use the iSTAT for labs without a specific order from the physician that it is warranted. The reason isnt because it costs more exactly....but the cost isn't...

    Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    Julius Seizure replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Also day care workers, primary care front desk workers, and various other jobs. Taken from a similar thread in 2006, posted by "Kasper1014": "I am an infectious disease nurse. You can NOT spread TB...

    Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    Julius Seizure replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    If people are seriously so in my space that they are touching my scrubs when I am at the store, they get what they get. I don't rub myself on the produce at the grocery store, and I don't think...

    Having a pathetically hard time with A&P--Need advice

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

    Quizlet - but dont use other peoples flash cards, make your own. You will learn more from making them than from trying to memorize someone elses cards. You can buy anatomy coloring books on Amazon,...

    Julius Seizure replied to ruami's topic in General Nursing

    Just keep applying to other places, thats all you can do. Consider moving, if you can. There are lots of jobs out there, they just might not be where you are. In the meantime, enjoy your days off as...

    Easily annoyed

    Julius Seizure replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Nine patients! Girl, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to do everything for nine patients and do it all at the right time, in the right way. It's just not possible. And yes, as the nurse, everybody comes and...

    In fear of losing my license.

    Julius Seizure replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    Hah. Tell him to do what he wants, because you will be speaking to the police about it. Your license and job are both safe....he is the one risking legal problems here. He must be a sad, sad person...

    The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Julius Seizure replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think there will still be some physicians that want to go into primary care. I mean, its not a top paying specialty now, so if money was the only motivation....no one would choose it now. Yet some...

    Is it bad that I can't work holidays?

    I agree, lets all move on. OP seems to have lost interest in being receptive to any further input. Good luck with your holidays,

    Julius Seizure replied to AustinTJC's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses who work on the floor at the hospital are almost always paid hourly - and in many places the opportunities for OT are abundant. Some places in the DFW area (and elsewhere) even offer bonuses...

    Administering opiates

    Julius Seizure replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Right or wrong, I think a part of what happened was instances of some nurses having poor judgement, unfortunately. (Not meant towards anyone in this thread or even about narcotic administration...

    Popping off top from lab tube when drawing labs

    Julius Seizure replied to pattykolo888's topic in General Nursing

    Question for the expert! We send i-cals in heparin blood gas syringes, not test tubes.....now those obviously are "open", as we draw directly into them. What is it about that test that makes that...

    Calling report to the floor.

    Julius Seizure replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    We do it in my cardiac surgical unit as well...sometimes the patient is too unstable to move, sometimes there are other reasons. Everyone gowns up, everything is draped in sterile fashion. Sometimes...

    I got paired with the dropout :(

    Julius Seizure replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I foresee this being a potentially significant problem in your future career, but maybe not in the way that you are thinking. See, if you have this idea that your coworkers maybe aren't as...

    Why is our salary so low?

    Julius Seizure replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I recently started grad school, and the majority of time when it happens to come up in conversations, it goes like this: Me: "I recently started grad school" Them: "Oh, that's great! What are you...

    Does segregation exist in hospital settings

    Julius Seizure replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Almost all of our rooms are private, but a couple can fit two patients if needed, which only happens if we are desperate and over capacity. When that happens, the unlucky ones to get the private...

    Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    Julius Seizure replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't worry me liability-wise as a nurse, but it does seem kind of like one more silly form to waste paper on. I guess unless it protects the hospital from those patients who get up without...

    Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

    Julius Seizure replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think that apologizing always has to mean accepting blame or admitting fault. Sometimes it can just mean something like "im sorry that happened to you" or "im sorry to hear that". Besides,...

    Frequent cancellations

    Julius Seizure replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    So, you are worried about losing more hours once you aren't protected by being on orientation. And you are concerned about your manager wanting to keep you on orientation for an extra month? Sounds...

    Conflict with Charge - 6 Month Review

    Julius Seizure replied to Roggae's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Also agreed. If you wanted to, you could work per diem till you moved, find a travel contract or per diem for a few months in your new location, and then look for a job. Lots of RNs have...

    Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

    Julius Seizure replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    You really do those things? Sorry, but I'm just kind of shocked that someone would proudly admit to behaving that way! I'm sure that almost everyone has days that we are, shall we say, not our "best...

    Mentor for the duration of a class

    Julius Seizure replied to missdeevah's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP, I hope you wont take these responses as people not helping because they are unfriendly. The fact is, you would be doing yourself a disservice by using a mentor on here rather than in "real life"....
