  1. Reporting off

    ckh23 replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in Emergency

    Report will be significantly different. It will be much faster and depending on the patient not very detailed as might be on the floor. Report usually consists of why they are there, what they are...

  2. triage question

    ckh23 replied to RNkalima's topic in Emergency

    Have to love a "peer review" that has none of your

  3. Got a great job. But trip already paid for

    ckh23 replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    Do just that, talk to the NM. Hopefully they are reasonable and it shouldn't be a

  4. Put down for ADN program

    ckh23 replied to all4ofus's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Tell this person to get over themselves. The way they each program is taught is very different. In my observations (not saying this is the same for everyone) I find that the BSN students are very...

  5. Arterial Line question???

    ckh23 replied to BadgerCCU's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would also check to see if anything you are running is compatible and run them together to free up another

  6. Confused new RN!

    ckh23 replied to ashalina213's topic in General Nursing

    If you really don't like it that much than I say start looking for a new job. Just don't quit this job until you have new one lined

  7. Please help me!! New in nursing

    ckh23 replied to dkim4429's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like others have said you can buy a study book that gives you little inside tricks to help you get the right answer, but other than that you need to just study words. I personally think the GRE is a...

  8. Pneumonia Vaccine Fell Through the Cracks

    ckh23 replied to Daliadreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing you can do. I think the person to be questioned is the nurse that drew it out of the pyxis. Perhaps they did give and did not chart it or maybe the vile was broken, etc. They are the only...

  9. Applying to other states, but not licensed by the state

    ckh23 replied to fireline's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think an employer would waste their time offering a job to a person that doesn't have a license in that state. In some states it can take weeks just to get a temporary

  10. triage question

    ckh23 replied to RNkalima's topic in Emergency

    From the details you provided I personally would have given him a 4. It sounds like he needs it to be drained and given some PO pain meds and abx. As far as someone questioning your triage and I...

  11. HELP... Interviewed but no call from RN Recruiter!!!!

    ckh23 replied to lovesICU's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't think there is any real time frame because they are most likely interviewing multiple candidates for the position. However, it doesn't hurt to follow up to let them know you are still...

  12. Any public online RN-BSN that accept out of state students that are more affordable?

    ckh23 replied to heathert_kc's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did University of Wyoming and completed it in a year. It depends on how much of the workload you can

  13. Tuberculosis Exposure

    ckh23 replied to kritter01's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unless the person was in the infectious stage then there is nothing to worry about. If she is looking for a piece of mind she could always contact the health department for more info. When I was...

  14. Does it matter?

    ckh23 replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    That's the route I took and I have never had a problem. As long as the online program is accredited. When you complete your online program you get a BSN and it doesn't say you completed it

  15. Can 2% lidocaine be given IM?

    ckh23 replied to newnursealice's topic in General Nursing

    The patient will be the first to tell you how much it burns. That burning sensation doesn't dissipate right

  16. Why choose critical care?

    ckh23 replied to pjwp2020's topic in General Nursing

    It will be tough but you should have plenty of support from the fellowship. Those types of programs are designed to help you

  17. 2nd day on my own as a new grad, with a student, cried three times

    ckh23 replied to whitebunny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At least you know you shouldn't have a student. I would bring it up to your Nurse Manager. As for the student, that's exactly what he is a student. Don't let him get you flustered because he is the...

  18. Male OB Frustration

    ckh23 replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sounds like it was the nurse with the problem. I would bring it up to your clinical instructor so you do not get paired with that nurse in the future. You are there to learn. I always thought it would...

    ckh23 replied to smk723's topic in MICU, SICU

  20. Want to work in ICU

    ckh23 replied to QTNurseBSN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Did you have to submit your application to HR or directly to the SICU manager? Sometimes there is a lack of communication between HR and the NM. HR may have the application and not feel you are...

  22. ppd question

    ckh23 replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Could just be a reaction to the injection. Wait the 48 hr period and then get it read. Your looking for induration, not redness or swelling. If you don't have health insurance contact your county...

  23. How does quitting without notice really look?

    ckh23 replied to inProgress's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's kind of late to handle if professionally. In my opinion you were already unprofessional for calling out those 2 days before your exam. It's not your employers problem that you need 3 days...

    ckh23 replied to julaybeeba20's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a team effort and it is 24/7. Sometimes things happen and you can't have everything wrapped up in a nice little package for the next shift, and the same can be said when coming on to a...
