  1. Rapid Response vs Code

    Dogen replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a lot of people to have in a code. In my hospital a rapid response is the "stat nurse" (who is also the person you call when you feel things just aren't quite right, but not worthy of...

  2. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    The last time I went out with a bunch of strange women* was after orientation to nursing school. A guy stopped us and said, "Man, what did you do to end up with all these women?" and I said, "We just...

  3. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    We'll take a cab. Dogen is about to finish child and adolescent psychopharmacology and plans to punish his brain with vitamin

  4. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Today I learned this exists. Thanks, brother's

  5. Is there a test to determine which area of nursing you are best for?

    Dogen replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a psych nurse and it told me CNM... it seems to really like telling people to become midwives. Did the ACNM make this

  6. Nurse Slang Yo!

    Dogen replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    We call it a B52 also (not an Air Force town)... and if it's 10 of Haldol it's the Holy Trinity. If you're aggressive on psych you get hit by a B52. If you're out of control you meet the Holy Trinity....

  7. Random Drug Testing

    Dogen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think quotes around "random" drug testing should be required by law, and administrators should be required to use air quotes whenever they discuss "random" drug testing. And maybe wink after they...

  8. Stethoscope help

    Dogen replied to kcolli45's topic in General Nursing

    The Littman Lightweight is ~$40-45. The Classic II (in stainless steel) is $72-85. I have a Classic II, and it's literally the only stethoscope I've ever owned, so all I can tell you is that both are...

  9. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Today, mere moments ago, I learned that you can click on the little number next to your name at the top of the website (if you have an alert) and it'll take you straight to your inbox. I'd been...

  10. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, at least we agree on something. :) You're unique! I think (I'm not really keeping track). Other people said that being willing to blow $200 was what made it okay, and that not being willing to...

  11. Help! Need advice on college healthcare school immunization requirements

    Dogen replied to throwawayota's topic in General Nursing

    She should also check with someone in her OT program. I doubt she's the first person who's ever experienced this, and they probably have a policy. My nursing program required immunizations, but I was...

  12. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you ever get the chance take a couple courses in logic. Best thing that ever happened to me. If you can figure out how to be more concise in your writing than me you'll be better off. I'm pretty...

  13. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's no more illegal to enter a fake credit card into PV's website and get an error than it is to enter a fake credit card into Amazon and get an error. People keep calling it fraud, but it's not....

  14. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay... so people are totally cool with the PVT as long as you open yourself to the risk of spending $200? I see two scenarios: 1. You do the PVT, use a real CC#, and risk $200. This is kosher. 2. You...

  15. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have no idea! Fun fact: remembering where you learned something is harder than remembering the thing you learned (called source memory). For instance, most people don't know when and where they...

  16. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you use a check you know will bounce to buy something, you still end up with the thing, which means you've taken something without paying for it. If you use a fake/expired CC# for the PVT you don't...

  17. PVT: Question of Character?

    Dogen replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Personally, this seems like an odd inference to make. Slippery slope arguments are fraught with peril (see: gay marriage will lead to people marrying ducks). There is no rational reason to believe...

  18. why do so many nurses post that they love the med scanners

    Dogen replied to the nites's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in a small community hospital patients had an envelope with their name on it, which was in one of many slots in a drawer, where each slot had the number of a room on it. The envelopes...

  19. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Today I learned my brother is not an organ donor because he believes "the people in the hospital" (you know, me and you guys) won't try as hard to save him if he's a

    It is a more limited

  21. 8/22 What I learned this week....

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like to judge, but at the point people are paying to have sex with a stoma... I'm guessing not

  22. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend in the Duke psych PhD program if you need someone to tell you where all the good study spots are or where to hide the bodies or

  23. Do you get hit/spit on? Does body fluids splash on you?

    Dogen replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We also believe it's not great to have another person's bodily fluid on us, but it comes with the job. You don't treat open wounds, GI bleeds, bowel obstructions, or a million other things without the...

  24. Suboxone gov. Programs

    Dogen replied to Jonecour3096's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, drug addiction is a huge, complex problem with a lot of moving parts. There are both supply side and demand side issues, including the way we prescribe opiates, the (lack of) ways we manage pain...

  25. Love AN...Too much...Goodbye

    Dogen replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure a 12-step would work for you... the first step is admitting you're powerless over AN... Senior
