  1. Odd ER visit

    green34 replied to inshallamiami's topic in Emergency

    An ER dept can clear out really fast. It also does not rule out the possibility of someone being seriously sick in one of the rooms. If you are a small hospital, they could have had a patient who was...

  2. Passion for Nursing but have disfigured fingers

    green34 replied to rednotebook's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    One of our resident's fingers on one hand did not develop

  3. Another nurse falsifying my initials

    green34 replied to alb402's topic in Patient Medications

    I would make sure that they are your initials and not another nurse's initials. I would then bring it up to the manager that you did not do the checks and that someone placed your initials there. I...

  4. Confused/Upset New Grad Nurse

    green34 replied to lZazz's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Eh, I've only had it done with the fire department. At my doctor's office, to be cleared, they showed me the blood tubes and asked what color the tops were and maybe pointed at one other random object...

  5. It's been 5 yrs since I've taken pre-requisite courses, should I retake them?

    green34 replied to cmalabay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would consider talking to the school first and figure it out from there. You will probably need to retake the unsatisfactory grades as some schools do not transfer credit lower than a

  6. ADN's being pushed out

    green34 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You "shadowed" an RN? What is "shadowing" RN mean? It sounds like you guys worked on paperwork which would have been better spent doing outside of clinical time. Med research? Should be done on your...

  7. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    green34 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'd love the ICU or mobile ICU nurse (not big on flying). Then the ER followed by a stepdown. Then psych but not at the "serious" psych hospitals. Not really big on med-surg unless I was a float nurse...

  8. Physical

    green34 posted a topic in General Students

    So when I had my physical done 3 months ago, I had pink eye. I decided not to do anything and wait and see if it passed its course. It did. However, I picked up my physical sheet today and they wrote...

  9. Should I try to get a CNA job?

    green34 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    Good luck with the ICU tech job! It is well worth it to get into a hospital as a tech in anything. It gives you the possibility of getting professional references and access to internal hiring sites....

  10. OR/Surgery Techs

    green34 replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Yeah, surgical techs in my area are actually graduates of either 1 year certificate program or more commonly a two year degree program. They require intense training in different techniques. Some...

  11. How Can I Find Nursing Supplies in the LA Area or Online?

    green34 replied to shellbeach's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, maybe it's the flushes that have for prescription only on them. I swore the needles did. I went through them and I didn't see anything that said by prescription

  12. Working while in nursing school?

    green34 replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    Working during nursing school is hard. As long as you are prepared to pay back all the extra money you are taking out, then go for it. You may find the extra loan burden to be hard

  13. New nursing student, career choice questions

    green34 replied to qtran429's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would consider going for nurse anesthetist or practitioner. One ER doctor constantly says he wishes he had gone the anesthetist

  14. Chem teacher

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will talk to them after the class. I am nervous about it coming around that I complained before the end of the term. I don't know. I know it's confidential but I question whether it truly

  15. Question about what stethoscope to buy for nursing program?

    green34 replied to Mandy0728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a cardiology III and I love it. I use both the adult and pediatric diaphragm at work because I triage patients. think it is worth the cost in my opinion. However, keep it close and always on...

  16. getting sick from microbiology

    green34 replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

    You are more likely to get sick in a hospital than at micro lab. Anything you touch in a hospital is probably contaminated. The lab, well, you know you are potentially working with cultures that can...

  17. How Can I Find Nursing Supplies in the LA Area or Online?

    green34 replied to shellbeach's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would see if it is legal to purchase without a script. I thought the IV catheters require a script or a need like a school teaching demonstrations to own. Or a squad providing patient care kind of...

  18. Which shoes to buy for nursing clinicals?

    green34 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I'd get the uniform standards and make sure you follow it to a T because some clinical instructors will send you home. Some require white shoes that have no mesh others allow mesh. I wouldn't wear...

  19. Chem teacher

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I figured out I only need a 50% on the final exam to get a C in lecture (the lab grade is worth 1/3 of the final grade so it would help out a lot). If I get 70% on the final, I get a B in lecture. I...

  20. Option of textbooks or ebooks

    green34 replied to JNHERRIN's topic in General Students

    I prefer buying the physical copies and I take them to work to read when we're dead. I also do not like dealing with ebook textbooks because they usually have an expiration date of a year or two or...

  21. Posey bed for a hip fracture

    green34 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How safe is it to use a posey bed for a hip fracture before surgery? You can't get the person in there without ending up hurting them. That tiny window? Doesn't work when the guy is six foot or...

  22. Chem teacher

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, the general consensus is that everyone is writing a negative review of the situation. I was nice initially but it clearly has stressed her out and it is stressing us out. The last test was...

  23. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    green34 replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    Jeans and a t-shirt or a hoodie. They aren't the ones I am asking for recommendations. I am asking my clinical instructors and I wear the school's scrub uniforms

  24. Red/Black/Grey Maternity Scrub Top

    green34 replied to corbinRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    She can't wear white? I can't find any maternity scrubs in red. They do have black but she's eliminating that option. I would personally say screw it and wear mismatched colors with the shoes. There...

  25. Help w Littman stethoscope colors!!

    green34 replied to made4scrubs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The Carribbean Blue does look really pretty still and that's the color I have on my select. It matches the bell a lot better in my opinion. There is a little pink in the rainbow and I don't know if...
