    What I don't know can hurt you!!!! (long)

    JentheRN05 replied to ArmyWife,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everything comes with time and EXPERIENCE if you haven't had a septic patient you may miss the signs. Here's my question, were they running a fever? Septic patients generally run a fever. She could...

    Describe your last day at work in 50 words or less !?

    JentheRN05 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    First night on nights. I wasn't able to sleep during the day yesterday. Been up 24 hours taking care of winey (on the call light constantly) people ALL night. Exhausted - not sure if I'm cut out for...

    Crossing the line of Caring

    JentheRN05 replied to VintageGAdog's topic in General Nursing

    How recent was the spinal cord injury? I think the nurse was being idiotic myself. At LEAST no matter what the patient could've been given a mouth swab! I would never just leave a simple thing as a...

    Hi need help with back labor....

    JentheRN05 replied to momof4plus1hubby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Does sound like she has no intentions of coming down. If your dialating and effacement at 50% That's on it's own. The baby usually dilates beyond that (well the pressure of the baby down there). I...

    JentheRN05 replied to JentheRN05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I appreciate these links. I will/have already checked into them. What I'm more looking for is opinions/suggestions on carrying out my plan. Where to go? What's best for the price and so on. Thanks...

    Blow out at the desk, who was at fault? both share blame I think?

    JentheRN05 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with this. I am only out of school by 6 months now, and only at my current job 1.5 months. I have made mistakes before. But I would NEVER allow a patient, no matter how busy I am, to...

    RN's and the dreaded clinical experience...

    JentheRN05 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why a nurse wouldn't want a student. I appreciate it when I have a student. It helps me out, I get some of my work done for me (of course I am checking on the patient and following...

    JentheRN05 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Which is harder A&PI or A&PII?

    JentheRN05 replied to SoulShine75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think A&P I & II will probably be different in every school that teaches them (content wise). So asking which was harder is not really a good question. Personally in my school A&P I was...

    JentheRN05 replied to baker90803's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a good example. School was difficult. I struggled soooooo much. In fact I almost quit in my first year due to stress. BUT I had a very supportive instructor who kicked me in the orifice and...

    Question about nurses and smoking

    JentheRN05 replied to FLstudent06's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nurse who smokes. I have quit a few times myself, and know that I smell of smoke. Out of courtesy to my patients, I always carry around a bottle of lavender body spray and immediately wash my...

    anyone else feel this way????

    JentheRN05 replied to sconoli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well - If I had found this site while in nursing school I would've been one of the ones saying how hard it was, and wondering if I was going to make it. But guess what? I did, and you will too. Have a...

    JentheRN05 replied to leopold's topic in General Students

    Blood administration policy

    JentheRN05 replied to nickola's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well - I'm trying to rationalize this myself. I don't remember any reading on this in nursing school. But to me it makes perfect sense that you wouldn't want less than a 20g to infuse blood (see how...

    Calcium Channel Blocker, probably a stupid question?

    JentheRN05 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Papaw! That was an incredible description. I like that kind, having a little twist, I will remember that next time I have to educate a patient on Calan (which won't be any time soon, I work on an...

    Question about TBI w/ cranioectomy?

    JentheRN05 replied to jadespirro's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully the patient was bandaged up at the site and what you were seeing was partly bandage. Hydrocephalus commonly will result in a swelling at the part of the brain that is the 'path of least...
