    kaylee. replied to NurseOfTheLittlePeople's topic in General Nursing

    It HAS to be AHA approved. At least in the us. Red cross may offer the aha courses. The website will have the little aha emblem on it. Bc this is the only certifying body for hc

  3. HELP!?! New in a SICU... already cried... totally terrified

    kaylee. replied to jlv613's topic in Critical Care

    I totally feel for you OP! My preceptor was a less intense version of yours. Hopefully she mellows out when she gets to know you, because it is really tough for us sensitive types to learn from the...

  4. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    kaylee. replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    I have been pulled over while in scrubs and when he discovered I was a nurse he said he appreciated the work nurses do and I was let off with a warning. He definitely softened when he realized I was a...

  7. How to become NP non nurse bachelor degree

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

    Direct entry MSN is the option that would be the one if you know you eventually want to be an NP. No you would not need a BSN. That is why its called direct entry. If you couldnt find or get into a...

  8. Management legally offering union, what does that mean?

    kaylee. replied to RnMightyMouse's topic in Patient Medications

    I don't see anything problematic for you in this scenario. What aspect of it are you concerned about? You edited the mar given new information that they resfused senna, and now the record reflects...

  10. Nursing care plan question, Nasogastric tube

    kaylee. replied to Possum_RN's topic in General Students

    Agree with PP. Risk of aspiration is not only applicable, but its a PRIORITY. Dont try to think up diagnoses from nothing, think of actual care and priorities then pull the diagnosis from that. Also...

  11. Priority Need

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

    I will give you a clue to a glaring priority: the patient lives alone...they are probably getting at

  12. Everyone says "don't do it"

    kaylee. replied to KYnicuRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are the people that have been worried or discouraged the field for you nurses? Their comments seem like these people must know something about our profession to be able to tell you what its like... If...

  13. is 5 hours-ish of sleep enough time while on night shift?

    kaylee. replied to stargirl018's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I can speak to this kind of commute. It was through LA rush hour to a night shift job. I was a new grad and I was SOO grateful to have been hired. But I had to leave the house at 430 pm to embark on...

  14. Nurses pulling rank on assignments

    kaylee. replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is true that many situations can arise that would warrant an appropriate change in assignment. In response to some PPs suggesting that the situation in question is not apparent... There is...

  15. When To Specialize

    kaylee. replied to hayleygoff's topic in General Nursing

    Its Patricia Benner, not Brenner...just an fyi. But yeah whatever the LD requirement states, get experience that meets it. Acute care experience is general, not just med-surg. But find a fit where you...

  16. What makes one a "great nurse"?

    kaylee. replied to LadyAn's topic in General Nursing

    The last few posts depict a great nurse to me. Greatness usually is something about the person. The great nurses I know are also great human beings. They are inspired and inspire me. They are empathic...

  17. First Medication Error - Student Nurse

    kaylee. replied to macy017's topic in General Students

    Hi, I don't understand how not labeling a pill cup is a med error. You pulled out the right med for one patient and took it to the room. Is that one of the rights of medication? Thats not even a near...

  18. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    kaylee. replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I would say med students do choose their specialty. That is the point of "the match". You rank your top programs (apply, interview, essay, letters of rec) and they rank you and a match means what it...

  19. ABSN or MENP

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

    The masters entry program will bring you to the same place as the bsn, you will become a licenced rn, but instead of the bsn u will have an msn. Both degrees prepare u to work as an rn and gain...

  20. I think I screwed up my first semester of nursing? Need some help.

    kaylee. replied to annieelu's topic in General Students

    Forget the recall for now, you want to know how to make As on the finals, and you seem to already be doing great with the anatomy, which is where the memorizing comes in. Physiology is where it gets...

  21. NP or MD

    kaylee. replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PA school, as a few pps suggest, seems like a great option here to

  22. NP or MD

    kaylee. replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think the general consesnsus (from your counselor and most rns) is that becoming an NP requires experience. Why? Because your program will not have the extensive training and residency that mds get....

  23. Forgetting to chart?

    kaylee. replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    That is unreasonable to ask someone to turn around in rush hour to physically weigh a pt when a whole new team is working away. Or worse, come back to chart "refused"! When in reality they didnt...

  24. Med error

    kaylee. replied to Deeninteen's topic in Patient Medications

    I will add that when you are considering what you learned here, recognize that not all med errors are created equal. Just to keep it in perspective and apply clinical judgment: there are far worse...

  25. BP meds

    kaylee. replied to Justanewbie's topic in Patient Medications

    I used to be kind of like that too, but now have gotten a grip on this fear because the po meds rarely make them tank. Even an SBP of 105 usually a few hrs after giving the drug the BP is still...
