    Laptop vs iPad

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would stick with a laptop, as much as I love the iPad- I'm sure you'll need Microsoft word and PowerPoint and all that jazz. The iPad doesn't have flash player either. Good luck with school! :)...

    Changing Shifts

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Nursechef's topic in MICU, SICU

    I work 3 in a row- gym in the am on day one, nap in the afternoon then showtime, 7p-7a. Gym in the am before I go home. It's the exact same as a day schedule, but the times are 12 hours off. I eat...

    Rapid Response Team

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Lukestar's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm am a full time RRT RN and yes, my presence does spark some new interest. If I'm here to see the pt something must be going on. Sometimes, when a staff nurse calls the doc, they request a rapid...

    Devastated :(

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    You have received alot of great advice, and sounds like you did well with the interview. Emailing them other than to say thank you isn't going to change anything. Consider this practice for the...

    New grad LVN Dr. wants to pay me $10???

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to vn-rn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It could never hurt to negotiate pay, and it is flexible... Which means you could continue looking for something that better suits your needs. Just a few years ago in central Illinois, (as an...

    Attention PRN nurses

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No way would I ever work 22 days in a row, especially sitting and waiting by the phone to be the first one cancelled. Overworking makes mountains out of mole hills, alters perception and causes...

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    Outpatient surgical, outpatient chemo and rapid response come to mind.

    What would you do?

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to elfinM's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Agreed with the pe and calling rapid on the spot. You did what you could- maybe there could be a debriefing for this case, to talk it over??

    So very tired!

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had energy... I also enjoy my food so there's a lot of lounging with something going in my belly. I'm currently in my pajamas eating sweet potato chips and not doing a dang thang!

    Nursing School with 2 children!

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Jazzi_CNA's topic in General Students

    Take advantage of your family if they will help you with the kids when your bf won't. I think there has been some excellent advice for actual study practices by previous posters. However if you are...

    First Nursing Job "Epic Fail"

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Hotfornursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Keep your chin up and look for a job that better suits you... When interviewing, make sure to ask about orientation and it's specifics- its impossible to be great after a week

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to katielam616's topic in General Nursing

    no good advice, just wanted to say I hope things get better.

    New hospital~~>not a new grad.

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to JanetCCURN's topic in General Nursing

    Orientation won't last forever... You can always talk to the nm to change preceptors, pull her aside and talk with her or just bite your tongue and get thru it. Either way you'll get through it. I...

    i have no clue why i'm doubting myself :(

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to babyv15's topic in General Students

    Apply for financial aid, scholarships and work study programs. Talk with someone in the financial aid office who is well versed in this. Don't get discouraged before you even start! Best of luck,...

    What has been your worst nightmare about work?

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I havent assessed or even seen my ICU patients and one of them is dead. I then realize I havent charted a single thing the entire shift. I leave the hospital and the road is flooded, my car gets...

    New Nurse and I dont think dialysis is for me HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would wait a year, stick it out and then reevaluate. I think in two months you have mastered the tasks, but.... you don't even realize how much you dont

    What helps you get through a shift ?

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    Cake breaks. I grab cake when I get lunch, but only eat a bite. Its a foretaste of what I get when the shift is nearly over. When the labs are drawn and the charting is done, and everyone is...

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to jrsmrs's topic in Patient Medications

    We have filter needles too, and as someone else posted- filter straws.... Love those things. I would never give anything from an ampule without a filter needle.

    Ivanna_Nurse replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is wow. And the fact that you are upset about a FB friend "out to get" the offender who posted the pic is interesting. I hope that you dont believe that this is acceptable behavior or...
