  1. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    ArmaniX replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    You just told me you were confused. In a discussion, which I believe is what we are all attempting to have here, you would want to look at ever angle of a situation. Right? You are quick to say...

  2. Deciding how much solution to dilute a medication in

    ArmaniX replied to Student100's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Question, so are you saying such orders as "Morphine 2 - 4 mg q 4 hrs PRN pain" is not acceptable anymore? The orders must now say 2 mg for pain 5-6; 3 mg pain 7-8 and 4mg pain

  3. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    ArmaniX replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    Your confusion probably comes from not understanding that I was speaking in a generic form. As I stated "not the OP"; OP= original poster. Just as we are speaking in general terms of the "nurses" who...

  4. Night shift, days off can't get out of bed.

    ArmaniX replied to ArmaniX's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am attempting what you mentioned zeus. I think I need to get in a healthier state of body. I have started walking two miles a day with one of my dogs (the others legs are too short and would just...

  5. Why do nurses "eat their young"?

    ArmaniX replied to hope4ccns's topic in General Students

    Having been a student just 8 months ago and now the nurse who at times gets assigned the student, you simply cannot place blame on the nurse. The nurse is there to do a job, the student can be an...

  7. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    ArmaniX replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    And this is why you get paid

  8. Why does giving report have to be the worst part of my shift

    ArmaniX replied to wcbembe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What kind of questions are you being asked by the oncoming staff that you don't have answers too? I am in my first 6 months as well, but have never had any issues with staff when giving report. So...

  9. ICU Family Orientation

    ArmaniX replied to JeanOfAllTraits's topic in Critical Care

    I know my facility uses a pamphlet that I've seen for each ICU department. From a glance it seems to explain visiting hours, nursing station numbers. Friendly requests to not call/disturb RN staff...

  10. Needle stick

    ArmaniX replied to BeautifulDisaster's topic in MICU, SICU

    What did you puncture yourself with while drawing from an A-line? Does your system not have needleless devices? You were wrong (in my opinion) to not report this. You need to do the follow up required...

  11. Florida Hospitals Hiring New Grads

    ArmaniX replied to gatornursejor's topic in Critical Care

    Have you tried looking? Florida Hospital hires waves of new GNs every couple of months it seems. Orlando Health is hiring additionally, given their current

  12. When would you see D5 .45% NS w/ KCL used?

    ArmaniX replied to jlevnajic's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I may be mistaken, but I believe this mixture has been hung on all of my DKA

  13. Landed an externship in the step-down ICU... aaaand I'm super nervous!

    ArmaniX replied to xx_remix's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just be a sponge. As a CNA always offer your help to the nurses and let them know that if they need you, you are available. Don't hide like some CNAs do, sit in the middle of the nurses station and be...

  14. Have you considered nursing school?

    ArmaniX replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Growing up I always wanted to have a career that involved people.. I considered a path in psychology but the amount of schooling required to be where I wanted to start, psychiatrist, was too involved...

  15. Question about setting up career path..

    ArmaniX posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So I've been searching several of the old/current forums on CRNA and still have some questions so if I ask any of the redundant questions, I apologize in advance. A little about me, I am a GN that...

  16. GN and bored/feeling like I should be doing more?

    ArmaniX posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I am essentially looking for advice. I am a GN (licensed in July and employed as of September) and I am on a unit which I am in love with and was even my top choice while in school. But I find...

  17. GN and bored/feeling like I should be doing more?

    ArmaniX replied to ArmaniX's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah I am very aware of the "bored" feeling. When I still had a preceptor I told her that the only thing that I was worried about, was my lack of worrying. When I work, I love it and enjoy every hour....
