  1. Pancreatitis and alcoholism

    3peas replied to huntlythe3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, pancreatitis and alcoholism should be followed up. Biliary emesis-meaning vomiting until all you have left is bile due to increased alcohol intake related to alcoholism? Yes, that would be...

  2. Ethical issue regarding antipsychotic

    3peas replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely!

  3. For New Grads -YES you can do psych.

    3peas replied to Psych_Nurse89's topic in Psychiatric

    In the emergency psych department I worked in we did not do many IV's. It really depends on the patient, mental acuity, comorbidities and if your hospital has a bed on the unit for them or if they...

  4. Should I Expunge Record?

    3peas replied to katie457's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You have to disclose to the board upon starting school. Unless that is a Texas thing. I would check with your state and check into that. There are many students in Texas who were not aware of that...

  5. Need advice! BSN or Diploma

    3peas replied to LBee127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do the BSN. Bridging is a pain especially if you are working with a

  6. Non potty trained students.

    3peas replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    I cannot believe that. People have no idea the things we

  7. Non potty trained students.

    3peas replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    Nope, nope, nope. Potty issues are not our job. That would be a parent job to change their child unless it was medically

  8. I'd like to stop birthday treats at my school

    3peas replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I totally get why you want to do it and I work in an over-the-top school as well, but I am not going to cancel birthday celebrations at my school (not that it's really my decision). They are kids and...

  9. Grab & Go Breakfast and Life Threatening Allergies

    3peas replied to ILoveScrubs924's topic in School

    Our students eat in the classroom, but it is distributed in the classroom. Dietary still plans menus around student's dietary needs. Our district plans menus 3 months out, so I can access it and...

  10. 6 months RN - become a school nurse?

    3peas replied to Lost_delirious's topic in School

    I did it. Confidence is a must, but you won't have it at first. If you want to get into a hospital this is not the job for you. School health is under the umbrella of public health. Good luck in...

  11. Parkland Hospital vs. Baylor

    3peas replied to Londyn's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can only speak for Baylor. I worked in the ICU and not ED, but you will hear it's the "Baylor way or no way." I do not work there anymore, it was no way for me. I think you will do well at either...

  12. Teas vs. Hesi 2A

    3peas replied to Joseizking's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Take the test each school requires. I think they list the subjects that the test covers. The TEAS is a watered down SAT basically. I never took the pre-HESI, but I took them in nursing school....

  13. How to get into management

    3peas replied to Ashley.Hop's topic in Nurse Management

    I knew bedside was not for me in nursing school. I was in management within 1.5 years out of nursing school. I'm also older with previous management experience, so that helped me. I learned I like...

  14. Scrubs or Clothes?

    3peas replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Scrubs. They are easy, and feel like PJ's. I prefer to look like a nurse, but I'll throw in a business casual day here and there, so no one will recognize me. I also have a few long sleeve t-shirts...

  15. Is psychiatric nursing a dying profession?

    3peas replied to LilaDavis's topic in Psychiatric

    There will always be room for a passionate psych nurse. Unfortunately they get burned out. Inpatient psych will always be needed. "They" can want to switch to more lucrative areas all day, but the...

  16. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    3peas replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    They can make whatever policies they want, but to deem someone not eligible for rehire based on those policies they have to have documentation. If they lack documentation they are not in compliance...

  17. Need Your Input School Nurses

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    First I always start the year off with a mini presentation from "the nurse" to the entire staff about do and don'ts. I emphasize my rationale for things is district policy or state mandates not my...

  18. New Grad Leaving Nursing!

    3peas replied to harumi22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I left my unit and worked a different area of nursing. I HATED and I mean HATED working in the hospital. I know shock, it seems every nurse is suppose to love working in the hospital. I had a...

  19. Too young to do school nursing?

    3peas replied to grobertson10's topic in School

    I struggled with my decision to leave bedside just like you. But the minute I made the decision I never looked back and I can't imagine being the hospital again. It's not for everyone and when you...

  20. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    3peas replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    What's hard to you might not be hard to someone else. What's hard to me: LTC, burn, oncology-those have emotional attachments to me and that's hard. The burn unit I just can't look at someone in that...

  21. Who informs the parent?

    3peas replied to avecta's topic in School

    Just like Flare it's my responsibility to report medical injuries and I followup that the parent will receive another call regarding behavior issues. I'm faster than admin and teachers and they have...

  22. Clinic Decor

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I agree with lyrern if I have to be there 8 hours a day it's going to be pretty:geek: I kind of have a color theme as well and decorating theme-boho and turquoise and gold. I bought everything at...

  23. Just accepted school RN job in a huge school district!

    3peas replied to EvilNurse73's topic in School

    I recommend a pulse oximeter. My district discourages and we don't document pulse ox, but I have so many asthmatics I keep one at school. It's a way to back up what I know I'm seeing and hearing....

  24. How much $$$ ?

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    What are you going without if you don't buy it? PPE? Band-aids? I'm lied to you, I've been out awhile. I buy plastic bags for ice, my own cleaner, and little dollar store organizers for meds to...

  25. How much $$$ ?

    3peas replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Same as above. My district will provide all supplies needed, now not necessarily in the most timely manner. I like my work space to be cute and well decorated, so I make my clinic cute. I don't...
