  2. When an employee is a patient

    ckh23 replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's great that you were being his advocate. However, the problem is you are his girlfriend. Therefore you have no say in hid care, whether it is about pain meds, tests, etc. Of course he could allow...

  3. When an employee is a patient

    ckh23 replied to LaurRN's topic in General Nursing

    Follow up with administration. From the story you told, he shouldn't have been treated so poorly, whether he was an employee or not. With that being said....I suspect there is more to this story that...

  4. RN to BSN and working FT

    ckh23 replied to ustechrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked full time and then some. I did an online program because it is much more flexible as far as doing the work. Where as a traditional university may have you in class a few times a week and...

  6. Best book to study for interview

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

    I would study up on some ccrn questions. Your best bet is to know your specialty inside and out. Most likely the questions will be based on the type of patients you deal with in the unit. I also found...

    Diva also has the right to respond to the posts whether the response is rude or not and doesnt violate the TOS. When you come to the Internet looking for opinions from people, you don't get to pick...

  9. What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    ckh23 replied to plethoraldork's topic in General Nursing

    Deal with what? Your ability to google things for people? There is a growing trend on this site where homework is done for everyone. So much to the point that posters who don't even bother to google...

  10. What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    ckh23 replied to tunafish1's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps I am missing it since I'm viewing this on my iPhone, but I didn't see anything in the wiki article that supports the professors answer of

  13. Can they do this?

    ckh23 replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    If they treat you like this after you bend over backwards for them, why would you want to keep working for them? They clearly don't value you as an employee that helps them out when they are...

  14. New grad RN & aspiring CRNA - Where should I start? OR vs. PCU

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

    If being a CRNA is something you really want to do than age shouldn't matter. If you have another year before you even start nursing school, I'd say you have anywhere from 6-8 years to get all the...

  15. Never thought I would make a post like this, but I have to vent...

    ckh23 replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    I say let it go unless you are ready for a confrontation. This nurse is not going to give any constructive criticism, but most likely return some type of brow beating verbal garbage. I can't stand...

  16. What do schools really look at in applicants?

    ckh23 replied to scott brown's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To add on to Bill, you can also take a graduate course or two to help boost your GPA and show the admission committee that you can handle graduate level

  17. Turns q2h

    ckh23 replied to CBsMommy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    An air mattress is more effective when you implement other interventions along with it. I did a research paper about this for school last year. The research pretty much said the best prevention was...

  18. What would you do? ...stop TPN or not

    ckh23 replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree with others. Stop TPN and get the meds in and just monitor for hypoglycemia and maybe get an order to hang D5NS, but my guess is if this patient is septic and has been on TPN then they most...

    ckh23 replied to muesli's topic in General Nursing

    What the heck is a sub

  20. ED Nurse as a CCRN

    ckh23 replied to iamderealthing's topic in Emergency

    Sure, if you want to take it, take it. A majority of the test consists of CV and synergy and then everything in between, ie pulmonary, endocrine, gi, etc. You may need to do a lot of studying because...

  21. Holy cow! Now i'm confused!

    ckh23 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    This could just be different training programs from different hospitals. Your friends hospital training program doesn't appear to be the usual that I see from different hospitals. The time you were...

  22. New grad RN & aspiring CRNA - Where should I start? OR vs. PCU

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

    If CRNA is your goal, than go PCU and transfer to critical ASAP. As others have recommended, shadow a CRNA to see if that is really what you want to do. Working in the OR next to the CRNA is not going...

  23. Ridiculous V/S...are you out of your mind?

    ckh23 replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    So she admitted to not knowing how to use the equipment and essentially admitted to making up the BP? I would recommend education, however how are you to trust this individual in the future? Anytime...

    ckh23 replied to aviatorgirl777's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    With proper time management you can have a life outside of school. I can't stand when they say this kind of crap. It's school not a military deployment. I worked full time during nursing school and...
