  1. NP or MD

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^ that I can't answer, I'm just starting out as an RN myself. But I would probably guess

  2. NP or MD

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Which med school are you inquiring that doesn't require a bachelors? I know for other countries, that is the route, but Hawaii being a state, I would imagine it follows US convention that requires...

  3. Do you pre-inflate the balloon on a foley cath?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Because in that specific case, maybe she didn't deflate the balloon completely so when she did inflate it in the urethra it didn't give much more resistance, leading her to think it's in the

  4. Do you pre-inflate the balloon on a foley cath?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago there was a new nurse in our facility who inflated the balloon while still in the urethra in a mentally handicapped patient. of course he couldn't verbalize the pain, so thankfully someone...

  5. No Excuse for Mistake....

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Jolie's topic in Nursing News

    wonder if the mom signs on to AN as "Lostsoull"

  6. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't even know they were opened that long! Unless it's a brand new Costco, all of the older Costcos were Price Clubs in my

  7. nursing:one of the worst jobs ever

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Lostsoull's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    you worked with awful people. it's not representative of all nurses. I make light of situations, but I personally would never body shame any patients. I hold myself to higher standards. I am aware...

  8. Terminated after giving resignation notice

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rn0817's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bosses from heck - it really makes you wonder how these people keep their jobs. I've had my fair share and they are always a pleasure to see escorted out when upper management catches wind of their...

  9. New Grad No More Continued

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Empire Chick's topic in General Nursing

    it took me about 75 applications for a job. It's definitely a demoralizing process, and you can't help but feel envious of other classmates who do get positions in hospitals while you're doing the...

  10. Scenario interview question

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Mmsmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    who's 'we'? are you doing anything about it other than

  11. Scenario interview question

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Mmsmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    if it's a new grad interview, it's not so easy. nursing school teaches to pass NCLEX, where questions have options to select from. Interview questions are open answers, which presents a challenge...

  14. holidays... sick call...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    maybe she has other references? I've used references that weren't former

  15. holidays... sick call...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    holidays usually empty out hospitals. there is a chance OP will get cancelled anyway. this is what we normally do - call the floor the night before, then the day of, ask for the census, let the unit...

  16. New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only suggest you try again. It's the very last paragraph. And mind you, when she originally posted, it was one big paragraph that was later edited by mods to make it more readable. I saw a...

  17. Contacting Nurse Managers

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Malbrecht0210's topic in General Nursing

    I went only as far as calling, but never approaching in person. but one of my classmates did and landed a

  18. How would you judge in a situation like this?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    AM nurse had due diligence to correct the action. and reporting the PM nurse to adm might've seemed to her like correcting the action, but obviously the incorrect MAR is in the wrong patient so that...

  19. Sleeping at work

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    It did to me. I don't think anyone here would call another nurse a dummy, but I'll let the member speak for herself. Personally I saw the humor in it. But then again, I'm pretty relaxed and don't...

  20. Sleeping at work

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    OMG I know that was a joke but it is an amazing recovery! Not sure if it'll fly in the face of HR but how can anyone fight against a silent

  21. Sleeping at work

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    we were all told of the one nurse who only rested her head on her hand and was terminated for appearing to be asleep, urban myth or true story, who knows. But it made all us new nurses more alert...

  22. Most of my coworkers are leaving...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I think in situations like those, decorum goes out the door. the longer OP stays, the more she's risking her license. 60 pts, even in LTC, is beyond

  23. New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right, that's my sole existence... Here's where I think OP went wrong - it's not about her being left on her own, or the environment there that she may disagree with - she made a point to say that she...

  24. New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't believe you are as thick skinned as you claim if this bothered you as much as it did (and judging by the long rant of a post prior to being edited by a mod). It feels like you have a...

  25. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be dealing with worse than patients or even administration, though: the general public. As someone who's worked retail, I would take patients any
