  1. BP freak out

    NOADLS replied to bindikwan's topic in General Nursing

    This seems pretty clear cut. The nurse you are working with wants to expend less effort. It is interesting though since it would probably take less time to administer the PRN than it does to go...

  2. How to get into nurse school with several "w" and 2 "F"

    NOADLS replied to Dagmawi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only the really expensive private schools will look at you. The good news is that those schools will push you through as long as you have the money and your fate will rest with NCLEX. You should look...

  3. Least stressful nursing specialty

    NOADLS replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    NOADLS replied to supaflyz's topic in General Nursing

    "Sorry, you can't have lunch today because the doctor didn't order it." "No. You aren't allowed to get out of bed today since the doctor didn't order for you to get out of

  6. What makes a good nurse?

    NOADLS replied to Sorebeth89's topic in General Nursing

    You need a realistic outlook to be a good nurse. Want to advocate for your patient? Advocate for realistic outcomes, don't advocate for an unaffordable utopia. Want better staffing ratios? More staff...

  7. Nurses, do you feel respected by NPs

    NOADLS replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in General Nursing

    We can have this conversation after I become a

  8. Inappropriate Facebook postings by family and friends of the patient

    NOADLS replied to morman's topic in General Nursing

    You will be in more trouble for looking at this person's social media than the person posting it. I would use the "not my problem" card

  9. Thinking about leaving nursing school

    NOADLS replied to lsand22's topic in General Nursing

    Suck it up. After you get your BSN, no one is forcing you to step into a hospital at 7AM. Lots of other options. I didn't like some of my placements when I did it, but ended up with something I love....

  10. LVN covering as caregiver for a shift

    NOADLS replied to guest907278's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just because you can do something doesn't mean it isn't beneath you. There are plenty of tasks that we are able to do that we are well above. To have to perform those tasks is more demeaning to the...

  11. LVN covering as caregiver for a shift

    NOADLS replied to guest907278's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I generally don't advocate for LPNs/LVNs, but there is a line you need to draw here. You are above doing CNA work and you should be working at the level of your license. For them to cut your pay and...

  14. I Hate Psych

    NOADLS replied to b52RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Tell me how many handfuls of poop have been thrown in your direction. I can teach you the ninja tactics necessary to avoid fecal matter lobbed at you. Maybe then it will be

  15. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    NOADLS replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to know how your boss(es) responded to the medication aide. I am more concerned that the medication aide has the time to report this

  17. Full time school and full time job

    NOADLS replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I started my NP last year and have managed to juggle shifts with another nurse. It ends up working out because she hates weekends and I don't mind working them. Every other week, I end up stuck with a...

  18. What does TID PRN really mean?

    NOADLS replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    TID PRN = 3 times per day as needed With the demerol example, wait until the peak of the dose. If the dose hasn't worked and the patient isn't loopy, you can safely administer the next dose. You...

  19. Proud to be an LPN

    NOADLS replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, most states allow you to use the title "Nurse" without adding anything or specifically stating that you are a LPN / LVN; however, you don't have the same level of entitlement as we do. Higher...

  20. Advice for a new charge nurse?

    NOADLS replied to tinytrexarms's topic in General Nursing

    A new nurse as a charge nurse is a red flag that something is wrong with the place of employment. Don't have any senior nurses willing to take on the task? Likely because they all quit. And I see this...

  21. Filipino Nurses, how are you?

    NOADLS replied to ariari's topic in Philippines

    1) Most members here are females. 2) Most members here would be from "abroad," particularly this wonderful place called 'Murica! 3) This looks like a typical questionnaire from a nursing student. Is...

  23. Nursing is a passion?

    NOADLS replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Original for the most part. I found soda to be too luck based and haven't found the time to pick up

  24. Nursing is a passion?

    NOADLS replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's my line! When I am playing candycrush and am certain of my next move and see a winning combination a move or two away, people like you distract me! Please have consideration for those of us...

  25. Rally for National Nurse-Patient Ratios

    NOADLS replied to nrsadvocate's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do not believe in mandated ratios unless those ratios have strict parameters. If you have less patients, the place of employment would likely pile up more unnecessary tasks for you. Less patients...
