    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Diet Coke, stethoscope, scissors, Diet Coke, 5-6 pens (blue, black, red...I swear they're all gone by 0630). Ummm a little bitty notebook for to write stuff down, pen light, Diet Coke, 800 saline...

  2. Need RN's opinion- BIG clinical mistake

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to CrazyheadSN's topic in General Nursing

    I can echo what is being said. I work on a tele floor and so this sounds like a typical patient. The things you should be asking yourself are: What have her BP's been running? (because I guess the...

  3. The Mockery of Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um...so, like if their job is really a dream come true for this person...are all the doctors in their underbritches and wearing yellow smiley faces? Because I have this recurring

  4. Healthcare professionals using insulting language

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to cayenne06's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm going to use insulting language, I will use Shakespearean insults, thank you very much. " Mister YAD! (young arrogant doctor) do not give me that snide, cocky attitude, thou bawdy toad-spotted...

  5. Why do you like being a nurse?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Kendel.G's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? This sounds terrible, but it makes me feel smart. I've never been one to have outstanding talents, I was never on the presidents list in high school, I didn't have that magical 3.75...

  6. What you love/hate about your assistants

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to jwkwildland's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so lucky that all the PCA's on my unit (at night anyhow) are just awesome. They're always willing to help, though not always available. They cover 1:1's in weird shifts so everyone gets a break,...

  7. New Nurses Precepting Students/New Hires?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    HAR! I precepted students when I was about 4-5 months into my job in a peds clinic when I was an LPN! They were students from the same school I went to. Was I a tad shaky? Well, yes- but my managers...

  10. ** Back-priming/Back-flush Secondary IV line**

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to twinjeep97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hang the bag and then spike it. Unless I really have nothing else in my hands or it's one bag of MIV fluids. My big pet peeve is when they have 3 pumps, and each pump has a carrier bag, a piggy,...

  11. Oxygen levels possibly hurt pt?!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to samiam4's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing you did 36 hours prior to the man's death could have caused his death. From what you listed on his menu of problems it sounds like this guy had many cards stacked against him. He sounds like...

  12. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I hadn't futzed around so much when I started college back in 1998. I had intended on becoming a doctor, and firstly, became overwhelmed with the all the things I could major in, and secondly,...

  14. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to be a "Debbie Downer" but I would not recommend it right now- there IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE. There is a shortage of jobs, yes. It took me a year to get a job, and new nursing programs...

  15. Sesame Street Breastfeeding: Moms Push To Bring Nursing Back To TV Show

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally (and at this point I doubt anyone cares about my little old opinion) I think Sesame Street has become pretty dumb compared to what it once was. My 3 year old occasionally watches it, and it...

  16. Nursing Error

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Nurse_Extern's topic in General Nursing

    I made a nursing error the other night- it was from pure laziness, I admit it. My 13 month old daughter woke up for her middle of the night snack- I brought her into bed with my hubby and I, and was...

  17. Incorporating One's Faith into One's Work

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Lilnurse0803's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm also Christian, and I know many nurses I work with are as well. I pray on my way to work (and listen to a Christian music station...I find it puts me in a different mindset than when I listen to...

  18. Fired for giving Med late

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Beaubou's topic in General Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  20. Future Nurse Needs Some Advice

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to JackNikon's topic in General Nursing

    Were it me, I'd get the BSN first, and then give it some time. Work for awhile and see what areas you really enjoy. I found that my perspective changed so much when I graduated. Initially I wanted,...

  21. do you think I should be written up?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to daisymae65035's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people dropped the ball on this situation. Did you look in the patient's chart at all? It seems that if you had, maybe there would have been something from pharmacy, confirming the...

  22. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to xoxo0414's topic in Nursing Career

    When I was in the ER recently (the ER at the hospital I work at, no less) I, in a roundabout fashion tried to talk the ER nurse out of putting in an IV. I was really bad at trying to get my point...
