3. Detroit ED Nurses refuse to work without more help, ordered to leave by Administration

   Lauragfa2000 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in COVID

   It sounds like a nightmare. I work with peds on vents and I have 1 per shift. Keep in mind my patients are only released when they are stable. 10 unstable is something I would not be able to do, even under the best of conditions. Unimaginable. The al...

   Lauragfa2000 replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

   myglobin, without knowing the the case history, I can state with 100% confidence this is spot on! Not casting blame on anyone because people are really all the same. Any activity discovered that reduced stress is beneficial, until it's not...

6. How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

   Lauragfa2000 replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

   Well, where to start. I'm going to focus on a few of your words. All of the above statements are way out of line. Have you ever heard the saying the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask? You will find, if you graduate, that asking for help...

   I have a very similar patient. She's 2.5 yrs old. Doesn't really talk yet. I learned a little sign language from ST. Please, thank you, more, book. From there we incorporated a few more signs that have meaning to us. Now she's saying a few words. She...

   Lauragfa2000 replied to AKS's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for sharing this. I've read for a little while now the importance of my own liability insurance. I casually looked into it. I too work PDN and your story really got my attention. 92.00 annually can't be beat. So, thanks to you I'm now cover...

9. How difficult is it to get a job after disciplinary action on your license?

   Lauragfa2000 replied to The0Walrus's topic in Recovery

10. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Lauragfa2000 replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    Thank you. In a few, very concise, words you put to rest what others have tried to. Fortunately the OP was seemingly very honest with her recall of the situation. Having graduated less than 10 years ago I can still hear those words of warning prior t...

    I recently read where Indiana and Kentucky would be part of the compact nursing states as of 7/1/19 if that helps.

    Lauragfa2000 replied to dsnale's topic in NCLEX

    I took my NCLEX PN yesterday. My computer shut down after 85 questions. At first I thought it was a power surge, it was raining really hard, but the next thing I saw was the mandatory Pearson Vue survey! I almost got sick. I really wanted MORE qu...
