  1. I need answers to 6 interview Qs from experienced RNs for an assignment

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

    I know the feeling about crunch time with an assignment! Unfortunately my ability to focus to give meaningful responses is subpar considering I've been out all day! So if I were you, and I have been a...

  2. Silent Treatment

    kaylee. replied to WildIvy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh I guess I didnt read carefully enough. My bad. For sure any number of circumstances were more likely at play. I jumped the gun. Dont even get it in your head yet OP! Its not something u need to...

  3. Nurses Notes - A Thing of the Past?

    kaylee. replied to Smb411's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good topic and would love to see what others' views are. I am not a fan of the "patient safe, nothing happened" note. When something happens I write an accout of the situation...And when...

  4. Silent Treatment

    kaylee. replied to WildIvy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ostrascism is very painful for us psychologically as humans. We are very keen on picking up the subtle signs. I read a book on it after experiencing it with a coworker, who would literally greet 4...

  5. Customer Service and Patient Satisfaction...

    kaylee. replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    I actually struggle with this aspect, and i think the 'do what the patient wants' and make them happy mentality is a hard habit to break in a unit culture where satisfaction takes a silent priority....

  6. Prevacid (lansoprazole) indications

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

    Acid reflux? I cant speak to this type of patient...but If you don't know "why" the patient takes it, you can either: a) ask the nurse or doc why they are taking it? b) google and find a likely...

  8. Gifted Scrubs I Can't Wear

    kaylee. replied to hegster's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is more an ageold question about gift-giving in our society. You cant hold on to everything people give you but for some reason we have a hard time parting with the "stuff" even though we will...

  9. Keeping textbooks for reference?

    kaylee. replied to cnsrn1's topic in General Nursing

    The idea of keeping references is great and something I do, and originally I wanted to keep all my nursing books. But over time i found I would go to the internet more often, because those darn books...

  10. I am ashamed in myself

    kaylee. replied to KariT's topic in General Students

    Its not so much the outcome (weak A&P foundation) that will hold you back, but rather the thinking and behavior that lead you to take the easy way and only strive for the grade and not learning....

  11. Not learning from my preceptor?

    kaylee. replied to Student2017555's topic in General Nursing

  12. Should I continue?

    kaylee. replied to stella1998's topic in General Students

    Its a very observant and honest thing to realize, and maybe you never had noticed before because u were busy working towards the goal of nursing school, but now that you got there u reflected on the...

  13. New Grad, Can't Get Hired?

    kaylee. replied to Justineqt's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You have only been at it for 4 months as a new grad. This is quite normal for new grads these days and can take longer. Keep applying to positions you actually could see yourself at, and hold off on...

    kaylee. replied to kaylee.'s topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. Its good to know for next time, and I can be right on point with what I should be doing. Hopefully it will be a while before there is a next time í

    kaylee. posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey nurses, I am curious to get your views/experiences involving a code when it is YOUR assigned patient. What role do you/should you play in the code? This was me the other day, I was not actually...

  16. Medication error

    kaylee. replied to Jsebastian0114's topic in Patient Medications

    What kind of MAR do you use? Most should have the route on there. Alarm bells should go off in your head when you are unfamiliar with a drug. If you did for some reason think it was im, and you have...

  17. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

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

    I see what you're saying. What I love about nursing is that it is the starting point to so many career paths. As an RN you can always pursue public health as an option. Nursing is like keeping your...

  18. Kiss My Nursing Dream Goodbye?

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

    This inspired me to look at my old BA undergrad transcript, which was way back when i was a flaky 18 yearold (34 now). I Didnt even consider nsg until 2 years after i graduated. So i was basically...

  19. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

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

    I am just curious, if you want to be a nurse and get the BSN, and you just completed a BA, why would you get an MPH degree? That is not a nursing degree. Are you torn between becomming a nurse vs MPH?...

  20. Inappropriate nurses?

    kaylee. replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Often in "making conversation" nurses ask about fellow coworkers' case load.. asking with the assumption of relating to the hard tasks of the day is usually perceived as prosocial by the nurse being...

  21. Should I put this experience on my resume?

    kaylee. replied to HermioneG's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    kaylee. replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

  24. important concepts as a nurse

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

    Agree. Giving you single word concepts are easy to list, super easy to google within 1 minute. So in terms of the profession, you are not elevating yourself or becoming a more complex thinker without...

  25. Unreasonable requests

    kaylee. replied to emmafrancis's topic in General Nursing

    I usually acknowledge the requests, and tell them I will let the md know, which i try to do when they are on the floor in person. But alot of times its the moment the doctor leaves the hospital that...
