  1. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone here here is playing the worst case scenarios and that is simply not realistic. The next time you visit the ER for chest pain, see if your nurse is focusing on checking your skin for...

  2. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    Not quite. Vitals are checked every shift. Someone who isn't in for respiratory issues isn't going to likely suddenly develop one. I know people like to think "anything can happen" and it does, but...

  3. Severe anxiety and depression

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Ash.nwonderland's topic in General Nursing

    It honestly sounds like you're on a toxic floor. Maybe see if you can transfer to another

  4. nurses not using stethoscopes

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I think you're the only honest poster here. A head to toe assessment on a floor where you are getting something like 1:7 or 1:8 is going to leave you behind on med passes, telephone calls, and...

  5. Charge Capture at Discharge

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Kenmore1009's topic in General Nursing

    I remember that. And instead of printed patient sticker labels we had...get ready for

  6. Gastric Tube tricks no clogging

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kgreentelern's topic in General Nursing

    we use cranberry

  7. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    Nice story, Ruby, but your words will simply fall on the deaf ears of those who think the aide in question (and I can' t believe this thread is still going) deserved better

  8. Has ATI Testing helped you during Nursing school?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

    I didn't find the ATI helpful. I passed NCLEX on my first try using the Hurst video lectures and doing UWorld

  9. Leaving nursing job after 2 months

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    The not being intellectually challenged part isn't offensive; it's the likening it to being a glorified waiter that is

  10. How honest to be when quitting a job

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Caramarie's topic in General Nursing

    I'd leave out the "very much" part, personally

  11. Having issues with being a "babyfaced" nurse.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Ash2016's topic in General Nursing

    Just for the record, since you're ragging on somebody else about grammar, the correct form is than (a conjunction), as in "I'm older than I look," instead of then (an adverb) as in "I ate breakfast,...

  12. How honest to be when quitting a job

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Caramarie's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are absolutely leaving the state, the country, or the industry, as tempting as it is, do not burn bridges. Maybe the hospital you're going to will be bought out by the current hospital....

  13. Communication process at your work?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We communicate through tried and true print outs. If something needs to be communicated, it's printed and posted on a physical board. If there was an email sent out, the email gets printed out and...

  14. IV Piggyback

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rockster26's topic in General Students

    I'm surprised by responses so far with the Zosyn. My institution runs it over 4 hrs...necessitating the need for an additional pump since the fluid would run the 50mL bag at only 12.5mL/hr, so you...

  15. Why do We eat our young?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not agism, it's budgetary. They'd have to pay you your equivalent years of experience and they'd rather just hire a new nurse for much much cheaper instead. Trust that they want your...

  16. New Grad & Scheduling Difficulties

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to 02468's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would start looking for another job. If this place is playing games with you this early on, there's no telling what they'll do with you after orientation is over. You will get to your specialty...

  17. What to do?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Iowanurse2016's topic in General Nursing

    Well there's your

  18. Thoughts?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to GuineaPigs's topic in General Nursing

    The pronouns were hard to follow but once you explained it, it was easier to do so. But then the narrative is still confusing. So did she just casually flirt with you by making that comment or did...

  19. IV Piggyback

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to rockster26's topic in General Students

    This is tricky. Was this all the information you were given? Did your school tell you anything else about the Zosyn

  20. Make It STOP!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just annoyed by all the PVT new threads. Like I get it, they're excited, but i was a nursing student once and I knew where the post nursing student stuff - in the nursing student forums. So I...

  21. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    And sometimes you can't. What part of management knows about this particular employee's prior actions evades you? OP essentially had to force management to do their job. OP doesn't need to pull...

  22. Blood pressure medications

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Joy101's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would not have given it. Our protocols, whether there are parameters are not by the MD, caution against

  23. Tell me why an LVN/LPN is a "real nurse"

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to PrettyNerd's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If it makes you feel any better, every once in a while, i get the backhanded compliment "you're so smart, why didn't you go to medical

  24. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it is somewhat of their business. If it's something they feel strongly about (or against), they have the right to know. If a female patient can request a female nurse rather than a male...

  25. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow..
