  1. student nurse help

    ckh23 replied to PromiseRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Multiple trauma is very vague. And the injuries from a fall from a ladder could be numerous or not many depending how far he fell. Was he at the top of the ladder or was he at the bottom? What caused...

  2. Is it still possible?

    ckh23 replied to uwa2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would also try to get into or setup a study group. I always found them to be helpful because people will think of things that could be on the test that you didn't even study. And then you go sit for...

    ckh23 replied to ucdmc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Stats look good enough to get you an interview. The interview is really what is going to determine if you get in or

  4. Any nurses from PA? Looking for OB position near Philadelphia

    ckh23 replied to winter_green's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You can keep two different licenses from different states. Unfortunately Pennsylvania is not a compact state so it's going to cost some $$$ getting your PA license. Jobs are tight around here, just...

  7. Get CCRN with l&d experience?

    ckh23 replied to nursephoebe's topic in General Nursing

  8. review of literature

    ckh23 replied to Harini.s's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. NEW GRAD, administering FLU SHOTS for the first time

    ckh23 replied to studentkj's topic in General Nursing

    Take a breath. You'll be fine. After you do two of them, you'll be a pro. They are just like any other IM shot. Yes, aspirate and if no blood inject. For the really skinny people, use a shorter needle...

  11. I'm tired of working 4 X 12's

    ckh23 replied to stevethenurse's topic in General Nursing

    A lawyer is not your recourse, all you will be doing is wasting money. You need to file a complaint with the Department of Labor for the OT

  12. Worst potential employer experience ever!!!! Was it ok to call HR and say no thanks?

    ckh23 replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing. Perhaps the higher ups have no idea this is going on. And as far as this person having a bad day, she was both rude on the phone and in person. These post that excuse...

  13. DNR means what???

    ckh23 replied to cloverleafLPN's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting. I just read an article in the philadelphia inquirer the other day about a local hospital that has place a palliative care nurse in the ER and she works with a physician that is...

  14. Good CRNA applicant?

    ckh23 replied to statABG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds like a good score to me. Better than mine. Just keep in mind every school is different as far as gre scores go. For instance they did not weigh that heavily in their decision, just that you had...

  15. pt dies after fall, who's to blame?

    ckh23 replied to sueannRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Who knows? What came first the fall or the bleed? If the patient had a bedside commode I'm going to assume this was not the first time out of bed. I'm not saying the situation is flawed with lack of...

  16. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    ckh23 replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Again with another thread like this? You do have free will and you do have autonomy. Your choice is to not get the vaccine and go work somewhere else. You are not being strapped down and...

  18. Thoughts on closing doors

    ckh23 replied to Soflo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How can that possibly be safe for the sitter doing the one to one on an involuntary psych hold? Who would want to to that job behind a closed door? I see very bad things coming out of that

    ckh23 replied to cv-moraine's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My program doesn't start until August 2012 so I'm taking this time to save up and my wife will work while I go to school. I also have the GI Bill to help with school as well. OP look into grad plus...

  21. Anyone gotten accpeted from PACU?

    ckh23 replied to jcurlygirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think it is as long as you meet all the requirements of the school. You haven't been out of critical care that long so that is in your favor. I truly believe you just need to have good looking...

  22. Withholding Vacations???!!!

    ckh23 replied to Queen2u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not necessarily true. This depends on one's state labor laws. You would be surprised how many states do not require employers to pay out PTO time because it is considered a benefit. Most do

  23. I feel stupid!

    ckh23 replied to heavenwith7's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, it's hard to sit there and check over the expiration date while they are having an active seizure that long. The meds should be checked for expiration dates at regular intervals to avoid this...
