  1. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    chevygirl1987 replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    My kid had an ASD repaired while in 1st grade. She spent the first semester of second grade going to the office with "chest pain" every time they did something she didn't care for in gym class. I...

    chevygirl1987 replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    Did your pt have TB? If not, it's moot, if so your shared article says you have about 3 weeks before the initial chancre develops. You followed both hospital and school protocol, I'm sure you'll be...

    chevygirl1987 replied to jamsandwich2015's topic in General Nursing

    I saw a nurse doing this the other day. The other would disconnect his heparin drip to go out and smoke and throw the tubing on the floor. The nurse said if he doesn't care neither do I. I did an...

  7. Is this real? Vein light

    chevygirl1987 replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    There are a few vein illuminators. I've never used one, but they look like they would make life better for certain patients. As with most skills, IVs take practice. Attempt a start every chance you...

  8. Help! I don't know what this is about?

    chevygirl1987 replied to TrrtleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I second the commuter's sentiments about us not knowing any better than you what the issue may be. I would carry on as planned. Do the interview, or not since you aren't very excited about it. Accept...

  10. Workout Playlist

    chevygirl1987 replied to DowntheRiver's topic in Health, Stress Management

    ZBB counts. Some of their best work involves Dave Grohl though. They are musicians at heart and I don't think that a lot of their music really fits "country". They do a lot of classic rock type stuff...

    chevygirl1987 replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

  12. Should I make a stink about this?

    chevygirl1987 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    chevygirl1987 replied to guest114's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to come down to what you find the most comfortable for you. I like Danskos/Sanitas as others have said. My feet also love Birkenstocks and I switch out with Merrill barefoot shoes...

    chevygirl1987 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

  15. Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    chevygirl1987 replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lots of talk about team players. You know whose team you should be on in school? Your own. That's who you owe your best effort to, that's who you owe your time and attention. Part of being an adult...

    chevygirl1987 replied to Dikid's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sorry you're going through all of that. At my hospital, the infection control people don't usually round on people. ID may or may not be consulted, it's up to the attending. You can ask people to...
