    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    Sicu in a hospital without a trauma center

    Here.I.Stand replied to NurseChrisL's topic in Critical Care

    My first SICU had a lot of liver, heart, and lung transplants, lots of neurosurgeries including spontaneous ICH's and tumor resections, major abdominal surgeries, various cardiothoracic procedures...

    Prioritize this for me

    Here.I.Stand replied to NursinAround's topic in General Students

    Not if baby is restrained. I actually think addressing infant distress should be prioritized higher than the test does. Distress can be a warning sign for hypoxia, bleeding... I once cared for a...

    Do CRNAs also tangle lines!?

    Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Here.I.Stand replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to the Korean beauty products! They get skincare DONE. That said, this is healthcare... not modeling. The only place all the nurses are gorgeous is on TV. If you have the heart for it and...

    How do you juggle nursing school and living by yourself?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Kohai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked 24-32 hours a week and had a baby halfway through the program. It can be done. That said, if you have a solid relationship with your parents and school is a reasonable commute, staying home...

    Will a custodian job count against me?

    Here.I.Stand replied to wyofishgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fisheries -- cool! When I was in middle school I had considered working for the WI DNR. :) Anyway, it is an excellent networking opportunity! We have good working relationships with the regular...

    Mistake on orientation..please help

    Here.I.Stand replied to MommyRN89's topic in Patient Medications

    She didn't do her 5 Rights (or however many rights we're up to now.... but in any case this could have been prevented by doing her "classic" 5 Rights.) She made the error all by herself. I have seen...

    Is this legal?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Gabbym441's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a legal expert but I can't see how you could be held responsible...the family CHOSE to bring him to their private home -- where they know full well they don't have a nursing staff. My...

    Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Surgeon for an instructor

    Here.I.Stand replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    One doesn't have to be an RN to teach a science course. Let's see... I had a PharmD for A&P I and II, a PhD microbiologist for microbiology, and an MD/JD (a practicing neurologist) for medical...

    Applied to 6 Residencies and No Offers

    Here.I.Stand replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I suspect your very narrow job search may be your problem. I personally have never seen an ICU hire more than one or two new grads at a time -- even if they have residency positions posted in these...

    RN (ADN) to wanting BSN in holistic nutrition instead of nursing?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Holistic_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't heard of a BSN in nutrition, and I'm not familiar with nursing roles in CAM type settings. In mainstream settings I'm only aware of RD's focusing on the nutrition piece...even in the...

    Seizure code blue

    Here.I.Stand replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't screw up -- you were by yourself, and the underlying cause is secondary to anoxia. Had it become a status epilepticus situation, the MD or code team leader could have ordered the Ativan --...

    Here.I.Stand replied to introuble7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Symptomatic bradycardia -- def. warrants a call. Plus the hypotension, which she even reports is not her norm. It's true some people run lower... I actually had an 88/45 in my employee health file...

    Quits Without Notice, Threatened with Abandonment

    Here.I.Stand replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow... So the solution to short staffing was to leave a single nurse with 53 residents? I can't imagine doing that to a colleague. If you hadn't received report yet I suppose it wouldn't meet the...

    Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    Here.I.Stand replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is it's a knee-jerk reaction, given that nearly everything post on the topic has smacked of entitlement. OP, a thought I had: can you calling-share with one other lady? I've known some...

    First New Grad Job: Mixed feelings

    Here.I.Stand replied to KiwiCarol's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you have any other offers in hand? I would hate for you to say no and then only offered a position in LTC. LTC is really important work, but it doesn't transfer to L&D beyond basic assessment...
