  1. I need help with a dosage question on medicine please?Thanks

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Aongroup1990's topic in Patient Medications

    What is half of

  2. Are you or someone you love the worst patient ever?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My dad is the type who will either A) ask for advice from his nurse daughter and then proceed to not take it because "I know my body". Or B) I will venture up some helpful advice and he'll just roll...

  3. Are positions available for a RN with an associate's degree work ob/gyn?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to acbn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it all comes down to your hospital that you work at. Some hospitals prefer BSN's over ADN's while others don't care, then it comes down to your manager's preference- some prefer BSN's. I'll be...

  4. Did you keep your nursing books?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking on putting them on Craigslist for freebees. If nothing else but the NCLEX study books I purchased and the flash cards- hey, they

  5. Why did/are you getting your BSN?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to thesundowner's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Because many facilities are requiring it. If for whatever reason I left the current hospital I work at, I'd be in trouble without having a BSN, even with experience. Plus, it does open more doors for...

  6. *Hope?* Does Mayo Clinic Accept ADN's?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to LadyRN10's topic in General Nursing

    Weird, I recall reading on their website that they don't hire ADN's at all. That was almost 2 years ago,

  7. *Hope?* Does Mayo Clinic Accept ADN's?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to LadyRN10's topic in General Nursing

    No they

  8. Nursing listed as 4th on a list of fun jobs.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Bu...butbutbut...WE DARE TO CARE!!! WE DARE TO CAAARRRREEE!!! My unit is TONS o fun! In our downtime when we're not caring and not having a dramatic critical life and death incedent, we're all sitting...

  9. kind of confused!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to monieebologniee's topic in General Nursing

    I think it sounds like instead of going straight out the window, the recruiter or whomever sees it in HR sent it along to the NM. The ball is in her court now, so if she likes what she sees, then you...

  10. I have failed the nclex pn (pvt)

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to biancha1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you get something from your BON saying for a fact you failed? NCLEX is like that though- asking you things that you never learned, or throwing you for a loop or wording questions somewhat goofy...

  11. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, what can I say. I wanted him there because I was sure we were going to get bad news, I have nothing to hide. If some other woman wants her husband/boyfriend to leave the room that's fine and...

  12. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was 12 weeks along with my daughter and having a threatened miscarriage, the tech somewhat curtly told my husband to leave the room while they did a pelvic exam. I spoke up (I wasn't mad,...

  13. From telemetry to OB. How?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Ironically I just accepted a postion in OB- and I have for the last year worked in Cardiac/Tele. I guess what I did in my resume is highlight the skills I had that would be an asset to OB that also...

  14. New to Postpartum- words of advice?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I accepted an internal position in postpartum- I'm coming from cardiac/ICU stepdown, so it's going to be a bit of a change. I'm really excited to do this, I think it's going to be a good fit for me...

  15. New to Postpartum- words of advice?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think I'm doing mom/baby- this is the hospital I delivered both my children at, and so I recall having the same nurse look my kiddos over as did me. The job is listed as "Maternal/Child" so I'm...

  16. Ad for an MA program

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Also concerning is the fact that these for profit schools have started up BSN programs. I've gotten many a flyer or advertisment in the mail from a couple of schools and man, again with the grandiose...

  17. Post interview jitters. It's long, I'm sorry...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll just lay it on you all: I'm like the girl who goes out on a first date and is sitting by the dang phone waiting for him to call, and reading into every comment, every gesture, every smile and...

  18. Ad for an MA program

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think MA programs were started as a way to save money in clinics- since initially, MA's were taught to do the LPN's job, the Lab Tech work, the X-Ray tech work, and the clerical work. Like a jack of...

  19. This made me mad when I saw it.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like an ad for a position as an overworked CMA. Even the CMA's I worked with started at $13.00 or $14.00. Furthermore- CMA, LPN, MOA, LST....none of those jobs require a 4 year degree,...

  20. Post interview jitters. It's long, I'm sorry...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well apparently I had a cute smile or something because I got offered the job today. The recruter called to give me the offer, and then 5 mintues later the nurse manager from Postpartum called to tell...

  21. Ad for an MA program

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah I referenced this in another post about the for profit schools and their dramatic false advertising. Last night I saw a real doozy that made me almost pee myself. A middle aged man and woman are...

  22. Being a Preceptor

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to sweetsleep28's topic in General Nursing

    I got to the verge of what you're describing over many points on my orientation. I had a (bad) complex of thinking I need to be perfect and know everything and have it all down pat by orientation's...

  23. Love or hate your IV pumps?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to steffimarty's topic in General Nursing

    yes! Yes! I'll drink to

  24. Love or hate your IV pumps?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to steffimarty's topic in General Nursing

    We use the Baxter Sigma Spectrum- it's nice because it's got all the drugs in there, and the flow rates. They suck eggs because they beep...and beep...and beep, yes, over the teeniest air bubble. And...

  25. Can anybody share any first hand experience with being coded, on a vent, sedated, etc

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    My stories aren't nearly as dramatic as some mentioned. When I was 25 I had to have a lump removed from one of my breasts, and it was a conscious sedation procedure so it wasn't a huge deal. I was...
