  1. Diluting Ativan?

    kaylee. replied to Guest838984's topic in Emergency

    It's thick like syrup; that is why I dilute

  2. Too early to start planning for becoming NP?

    kaylee. replied to MDBoy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just an FYI to the OP: to get in to med school you will need an undergraduate degree. It’s not just prerequisites. apparently there are a handful of programs that accept students with 90 or so...

  3. 12 years a Slave (called nursing)

    kaylee. replied to LeMa88's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OK perhaps the OP’s title was a questionable one, as I don’t find it appropriate to equate pretty much anything to slavery. However, despite the title, the main content of the post was not using...

  4. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

    kaylee. replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    WOW!! Did you not critically read the paper? Or did you just take WSJ’s word for it! from the PNAS: although we find no overall evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic disparities in fatal...

  5. Documentation of Assessments

    kaylee. replied to Majoraty's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yes I do a more thorough assessment of the body system(s) r/t why they are in. For the other systems I chart by exception. What I have noticed is that SOME nurses will chart on all the things released...

  6. Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    kaylee. replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I am bewildered that some preceptors are so controlling. It's not my job to nitpick basic nursing skills. (unless u are doing it wrong or something). That would make me want to blow my brains out too...

  7. Non-medical friend avoiding me

    kaylee. replied to Smsanch2's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned she is a new friend, and so I am sure there are still aspects of each other’s work personally that you havent seen yet. She may be a little weird considering your sincere advice...

  8. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    kaylee. replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize if I came off harsh. Of course there is no way for people online to truly “know” you. I just suggested maybe it was something for you to think about, not that it was factually...

  9. What would you do?

    kaylee. replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you have a bachelors, the entry MSN or an accelerated BSN. These are your entry

  10. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    kaylee. replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, cutting the badge in the face of the employee you just let go is DEFINITELY not normal. It is not the way one fires a genuinely remorseful employee for sleeping thru an alarm. It's just not....

  11. CNA - priorities need checking? Or is it the field?

    kaylee. replied to Nightshade202's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This sounds great in theory, but is not realistic in the insane hospital setting that the OP describes (btw OP, we may be coworkers). If this works on your floor, I am jealous. But for now I can only...

  12. EKG interpretation help

    kaylee. replied to helloxjello's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When one lead looks very hard to interpret, or just weird, always look at another lead for clues. The top lead has little notches that are bizarre, but if u look below, they are in fact qrs...

  13. Need help with a question

    kaylee. replied to pnwRN88's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Agree with OP and PP: suspect stroke, meaning call RR...in the meantime, get a blood sugar. Although not directly r/t stroke, would stop the dilt drip, the appropriate action in the face of low BP...

  14. Race Issues in Nursing

    kaylee. replied to Beaue's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious why you began the post saying that this African American person makes a comment whenever a caucasian person asks a question, as if its this black person out to get the white peolple? Why...

  15. "We don't hire male RNs" and other things you should never say to me

    kaylee. replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, I apologize for being a ***** earlier. I was all fired up. I read the full version of the case that u provided and it makes more sense now. My arguments dont stand up too well to me anymore....

  16. "We don't hire male RNs" and other things you should never say to me

    kaylee. replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your claim flat out wrong. A hospital’s statement that most clients prefer female IS NOT a bona fide qualification for hiring. And if u took a second to actually read the legal statute u would see...

  17. HCA HOSPITALS- LESSER OF THE EVILS?

    kaylee. replied to sleepalldaze's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was on reddit nurses and read this the other day, not having heard of HCA. But the opinions were pretty clear and unanimous. Check it out:

  18. Is this rude or is it just me?

    kaylee. replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I find it annoying a little annoying when a cna says “patient is waiting for meds”. I appreciate when they gather a little more info by a simple polite inquiry: “i believe she is in the next...

  19. Where do I go from here?

    kaylee. replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Really? That is a hands off position that mainly helps hospitals by creating ehr protocols so they can certify themselves, protect themselves and bill. Little ranty

  20. Putting in orders without an order.

    kaylee. replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient appears to aspirate on his diet, i will place npo and get a speech evaL. Sometimes throw in a routine lab if i know the doc will end up doing it at 10. But only with the docs i know and...

  21. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    kaylee. replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Do a quick google search on the primary care shortage and you will see they are

  22. Going straight from BSN into Masters program?

    kaylee. replied to JessMae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree with PP. Even if you got the MSN with the intent of working for 2 years before becoming an educator—To be taken seriously as an MSN in nursing education means not only do you have expertise in...

  23. Help! The teacher's answers are different from mine?

    kaylee. replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

    Just making sure u knew that cc MEANS ml, cc (cubic centiliters) is an old school unit of measurement that is still used in speech. They should have clarified this... So if 20 gtt in 1 ml, then how...

  24. If anyone reads this...

    kaylee. replied to FloForLyfe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do you feel like you are labeled “the bad guy” for sooo many incidents? That would mean the that all the people involved in those examples are out to get u. If its just a single person...

  25. Is it beneficial to have ACLS and PALS as a new grad looking for a job in Sacramento, CA?

    kaylee. replied to dejo1290's topic in California Nursing

    I think its something most new grads do so not necessarily a leg up but right at the baseline. It shows you are “ready”. I dont think you would get pushed aside for not having them but might as...
