    Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    Julius Seizure replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually kind of really smart. It can be like a she-wee with absorbent crystals at the end of it! Girl, you need to invent this and patent it....and never work another day at the bedside in...

    How to Respond?

    Julius Seizure replied to motor_mouth's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "Why was that given late?" Is rarely something that they have any need to know. "Are they on home O2?" CAN be relevant. If you know the answer to a question like that, simply say yes or no, then you...

    How Important Is Money

    Julius Seizure replied to Reachgoals's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would take the IMC job, unless you absolutely cannot live on that salary. You may start out with lower pay, but you may build a stronger foundation to ultimately reach your

    Julius Seizure replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    Dear OP, The above quote is GOOD ADVICE. It will serve you well to play your cards closer to the chest. Beyond that, good for you for having the nerve to appeal. Everyone faces adversity...the ones...

    Nursing school bloopers

    Julius Seizure replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    In the classroom skills lab, one the day that they taught us about drawing blood, they passed around all the supplies as they lectured -- syringes, butterfly needles, vacutainers, lab tubes, etc. Well...

    Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    Julius Seizure replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I can only speak to my personal experience: I graduated with my BSN in Indiana in 2007. At that point, my only IV starting experience was practicing on a mannequin hand in the skills lab at school....

    Julius Seizure replied to guest449786's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for putting into words what I have felt since I first stumbled into becoming a nursing major as a college freshman because she didn't know what other major to pick. Fast forward 12ish years...

    family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    That sounds like your brothers problem. If you can handle working with him and still want the job, and the hospital is ok with you both working there...go for it. Don't let his tantrums dictate...

    cell phones at work

    Julius Seizure replied to tuxedopenguino's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes have to carry a phone......I would rather have more of the things that make my phone ring be changed to text alerts than phone calls. "Pt arrived in room 206" can be a text, for example,...

    Some people are too smart for nursing

    Julius Seizure replied to Careerchange88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I chose to go to nursing school, I got asked by many "you are so smart, why stop at nursing? You should be a doctor instead!" It was frustrating. I didn't want to be a doctor! I wanted to be a...

    Could you explain further on the reason you would not hire? What would the piercings say to you that would make you not want to hire that person, of course cosidering that they were otherwise...

    Nurses with ear piercings

    I say save the tattoo for after you land that first job. Obviously it depends on location and hospital, but in general I think school nursing programs/clinicals will be a bit stricter on appearance...

    Julius Seizure replied to guest449786's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do RN's insert EJ's at your hospital

    Julius Seizure replied to Five&Two Will Do's topic in MICU, SICU

    I totally agree. Sure, some patients need rapid fluid resuscitation to the tune of 6L per hour. But certainly not the majority. Obviously don't choose the massive hemorrhage patient for your 22g...

    Julius Seizure replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    I work in pediatrics, and I realize that things are very different in my world when it comes to meds, but some of the answers here surprise me. For me, if the doc orders "Lasix 7mg IV q12hr", it gets...
