  1. Med/Psych

    Cat365 replied to sunlight1's topic in General Nursing

    They really thought someone could "just act out" bloody stool? To the point that a transfusion was

  2. Don't know what to do

    Cat365 replied to AliasbecauseIcantsay's topic in General Nursing

    Ask a lawyer but I would say that you likely have to sign it, resign, or be fired. Many states are at will employment and really you can be fired "at will." I'm assuming that there is no

  3. MSN /FNP

    Cat365 replied to sukh :)'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My school required all transcripts. I didn't want to supply one (the school was bought by another school so I wasn't sure where to get it and I already knew that they wouldn't accept the credits) but...

    We applied in our capstone course. I live in a different state than I attended school in so o discussed with our Dean which state I should apply to. She advised me to appply in the state that the...

  8. Ready to apply LVN-RN but 1 class short.

    Cat365 replied to NurseCalifornia916's topic in LPN to RN

    The problem isn't just taking the class. It is taking it from an institution that your college accepts credits. I would consult an advisor at the institution that you are applying to. If the class is...

  9. No cart concept

    Cat365 replied to harlee89's topic in General Nursing

    I especially think 99 narcotics counts a day is excessive. I wonder if they really thought out/calculated the time that would take. You might point that out from a financial (how much they will spend...

  11. Jury duty and new grad program

    Cat365 replied to IGSD777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I suppose it depends on your state, but I think if you are called you have to go. I've been called twice and sat on a jury once. Both times it only took one

  14. Norovirus going around!

    Cat365 replied to Pharmahaulic's topic in General Nursing

    Only thing that tops puking alongside the road is when you are doing it at 3am because of a deadly burrito. Soon enough there are pretty red and blue lights behind me convinced I'm drunk. Fun

  15. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Cat365 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I had nursing instructor that I adored she was tough, fair, and loved to teach. However, she had an accent and every time she said organism it sounded like orgasm. Burger was

  16. Annoying words/behaviours during report

    Cat365 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah this is annoying, but I also appreciate a heads up if the family is nuts, helpful, or otherwise going to impact my

  17. Body temperature difference( right part is colder than left part)

    Cat365 replied to Shubhampareek's topic in General Nursing

    We don't give medical advice. But the question that keeps occurring to me is how do you know that one side is cooler than the other? I'm having this image of thermometers taped to both sides of your...

  18. Help for class!!

    Cat365 replied to CAS7693's topic in General Nursing

    How would you know if the people replying are actually RNs? I think the idea is to actually ask people. Don't you know anyone in the nursing world? Friends, family, friends of friends? Heck a Facebook...

  19. RN thinking of quitting job b/c of IV's.

    Cat365 replied to Phe12's topic in General Nursing

    What's the advantage to this job? It seems like your old position worked better for you and that you enjoyed it more? Why did you switch. Change isn't always good. Especially if you are pregnant and...

  20. PathoPhysiology Online or In class?

    Cat365 replied to injured1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Patio is important and I learn better in class so I would go that way and nap after class. However, if you are a disciplined self-starter (I'm not) you might be ok

  21. Switch Shifts?

    Cat365 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you have already compared the two different shifts and days are still in the running. My opinion (the opinion of an anonymous poster on the internet) is to switch, especially if you...

  22. Does your hospital use disposable blood pressure cuffs?

    Cat365 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    We use them, except when taking manual blood pressures. They don't connect to that machine. One of our neighboring hospitals also has vitals machines in every room. I wish we would do that too. I...

  23. Student needing guidance

    Cat365 replied to Amber98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to check with local or online colleges to see which ones have an RN to BSN. Then see if they take the credits from your current college. Make sure your current college is accredited and ask...

  24. PCP refuses to release client's labs despite signed consent/release

    Cat365 replied to smartblnde's topic in General Nursing

    When we have Dr that do not send things we call the patient and ask that they contact the Dr. It works well with DME I can't see why labs would be different. We only do that after the Dr's office does...

  25. PCP refuses to release client's labs despite signed consent/release

    Cat365 replied to smartblnde's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell the client the truth. Let them take it up with the Doctor. Many times they can get results where you can't. Has the Doctor told you why he won't release the
