    Just another new nurse needing some advice :(

    nursel56 replied to xxlilkacixx's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This is actually a pretty classic scenario of why you should've insisted on talking to the doctor yourself, a hectic unit is more likely to have mistakes made as everyone is running around with a...

    nursel56 replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    Or it could be a version of the telephone game - the OP here is a student who heard the story from another student who heard it from her friend who is an RN . . .the facts will likely remain unknown...

    nursel56 replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm picturing a panic-stricken nurse in a completely deserted hospital with no means of communicating to the outside world suturing up a vein with -- I don't know . . .dental floss? If she can't...

    Introducing dorkus maximus

    nursel56 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah . . .:) I literally have a visceral response at the sight of stuff like that. I take it home and admire it, I inhale it's inky freshness, and am almost fearful of that first pen or pencil...

    No Arm Bands??

    nursel56 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, for a 5-day inpatient detox armbands would normally be used. These patients aren't always stable during the process. If they then attend a 2-4 week rehab they normally aren't

    Time card/ Time sheet fraud!

    nursel56 replied to Butterfly_08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Should I give nursing another try?

    nursel56 replied to almostmadeit's topic in Nursing Career

    Education of nurses

    nursel56 replied to PCU_RN9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What happened to the BSN in 10 law in North Dakota? A BSN earned in the 80s isn't adequate either. They aren't making a hard deadline because they discovered that repeatedly failing to reach...
