    The FIT Nurse

    vanilla bean replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Speak for yourself. I for one can learn a lot from the "Crusty Old Bats" on here. You have crossed a major line by suggesting someone should get a pie to the face over them sharing their opinions on a...

    The FIT Nurse

    vanilla bean replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    How dare you endorse such an unhealthy product by having "cheezwizz" in your username? I mean, you're a nurse... don't you know how hypocritical that is? I'm sorry. I couldn't help

    nsg dx

    vanilla bean replied to ktakes's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    hmmm... Is there supposed to be a nursing diagnosis for each level? In my opinion, four of the diagnoses provided belong in the same level. Can you expand on the assignment and/or share how you and...

    Code Lavender?!

    vanilla bean replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would much rather see a Code Mocha team instituted. I'm currently fantasizing about an espresso machine with all the fixins on a rolling cart and a herd of baristas running down the hall to the...

    Squeamish future nursing student

    vanilla bean replied to mecapon91's topic in General Students

    It's not necessarily a deal breaker as long as you choose to continue to push through and deal with it. I work with a nurse that is regularly the butt of jokes (all in good fun) for his sensitive gag...

    Wear gloves during assessment?

    vanilla bean replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I wear gloves whenever I plan on physical contact with a patient, including routine vitals and assessments. Back in the day when I was an RT student, I once had a clinical instructor explain that her...

    Any hospital units that DON'T use telemetry?

    vanilla bean replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Therapeutic Communication

    vanilla bean replied to 3rdGenRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm going to also suggest that you never let an opportunity to practice go by. Just like the other skills you're learning in school, you get better with practice. Take every available opportunity to...

    Fellow nurses...does this make sense?

    vanilla bean replied to desert_MP's topic in General Nursing

    First, I would've assumed the SN also inserted the foley if they announced in post conference that they got to "do" a foley. Second, it is up to each and every SN to know the policies (of the school,...

    Ventolin or Advair. Which comes first?

    vanilla bean replied to mlimoges's topic in Patient Medications

    Team 1 is incorrect and team 2 is correct - Ventolin (albuterol) first. Ventolin is considered a rescue inhaler for its rapid effect in treatment of bronchospasm. But Team 1 needs to remember that...
