At my facility, our call bells have the option for "toilet", "pain", and "water", plus a regular bell function. If the patient presses any of those buttons, it shows up on our central phone base. Each of the "functions" has a different ring and light...

I work on a med-surg floor and was assigned a patient that had orders for an NGT to low-continuous suction for management of a SBO. The patient had a 16 Fr. salem sump inserted in the ED, with a lopez valve connected to the sump tubing and the remain...

I definitely recommend using the tutors online to verify your work in stats! I had done all the work, logged on, and had them check it and walk me through those questions I didn't quite understand. I ended up with an A in the class that way!

Lovesbunnies, I work 2245 - 0715, 32 hours/week

Hi Lovesbunnies, I can say that the figure you heard, $29/hour for a brand new grad is a little steep. Fresh out of school I was making $25/hr as a psych nurse, but that included hazard pay, and I had no health insurance. I then moved to a SNF and ma...

Hi All, I work as a Charge RN on a med-surg unit and I'm looking to see what others do for their shift reports/summaries. Currently, we have a template which is then handwritten for each patient that includes Name, Age, Sex, MD, Allergies, PMHx/PSHx,...

I'm specifically looking at charge to charge report... I work nights and trying to give report to days, who then in turn has to report off to case management, social work, and other disciplines.

Thanks everyone for your input! I failed to mention previously that we are a small, 10 bed unit that's focus is on med-surg, particularly women's health, dialysis, diabetes, and DKA. We have 2 nurses and 1 LNA on at any given time. Anything to save t...

I was accepted into their program in July 2014, before they were accredited and was told all of my classes transferred. Then I got an ail saying that I had to repeat 4 general education courses before I could even start the nursing program. Low and ...

I say do what you think is best! I can say that I got my EMT Basic and worked part-time with my local fire department and then went on to get my Associates as a MA. I worked full-time as an MA and then got my EMT Intermediate (now Advance), and then ...

As a resident of NH, as well as a first responder and an RN, I'm torn with this. We now have law enforcement officers trained and licensed to administer Narcan for ODs, as We have a heroin epidemic here... Not sure what's worse, enabling users, or cr...

I was stuck on what sort of topics were considered "nursing practice problems"... I had gone the infection control route and found a ton of information, but had a hard time whittling it down. Just needed a few ideas as to how to get this started 😏...

Ok guys, I'm in my first week of Nursing Research and the literature review assignment... I'm stuck trying to come up with a topic for compiling the articles... What topics did you review? I've looked at articles for cardiac arrest, hand hygiene, pat...

CMC has a bunch of openings and a "new grad program" too... Don't know if you've looked into them!

I have the same problem, but it was a balmy 34*F here today with rain/snow. Tomorrow looks like a high of 46, massive "heatwave" for us right about now... Can't wait for spring and summer, sitting on our deck and doing homework!

Thanks Rob4546 for the heads up! Going to need all of the points that I can get! Have a feeling that my GPA isn't going to be staying at a 4.0 much longer! 😐

Thanks guys! The instructor hasn't provided anything other than Khan Academy as their resources, as well as the "nursing research" textbook. I looked around LC and haven't found the info on tutoring... And can't remember where the link is, I tried th...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for quite some time. I've finally come to the conclusion that others may be able to help me pass this stats class! In my first week of class and I'm already overwhelmed! Any suggestions about how you got through it? Any...

Have you looked into the Hurst Review? I sat through their review sessions and passed the first time with 75 questions. The Hurst Review really simplifies things and teaches you how to do well, and you can sit through their sessions as many times as ...
