    nuring homesdeaths in new orleans area

    JentheRN05 replied to rondafan's topic in General Nursing

    I read on MSNBC that one (1) nursing home had all the staff evacuate and left 30 patients in their beds to fend for themselves. I can't imagine doing that to another living soul! But obviously some...

    JentheRN05 replied to kat29's topic in Pediatric

    I think that I would allow her to touch some 'education equiptment' and explain that she may feel like she has to go potty, but can't go. That this is to help her go potty. I think at 4 y/o they...

    public's view of nurses

    JentheRN05 replied to bulldawggirl's topic in General Nursing

    Strong willed, patient, caring. Those are good nurses. However you will hear of bad nurses as stated by a family member when they were in the hospital "lazy, uncaring, incompassionate' But the fact...

    When my first child was born (15 years ago) he had severe shoulder dystocia. The doctor refused a c/s and ended up breaking my sons clavicle. It wasn't discovered for 2 days however, and it was at my...

    Triple lumen catheters

    JentheRN05 replied to akhicksfutureRN's topic in General Students

    In my experience. Brown port is for blood draws, the other ports are available for meds. When giving meds, always remember to flush all the ports though, its a courtesy thing. Plus it helps keep them...

    How soon can you work?

    JentheRN05 replied to mel82's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In Indiana, when you take the test, the results are immediately accessible to your employer. Mine had my results 36 hours before I knew them. But weren't allowed to tell me. They also had my licence...

    I HATE nursing! (long)

    JentheRN05 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Hi - I've read through this long thread. Here's a question I pose to all of you. Is it safe to practice while taking an anti-anxiety med? Which med do you take? I have suffered from anxiety so severe...

    do i really have to give two weeks notice??

    JentheRN05 replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

    I think you need to arrange for a sit down with your boss. Tell them whats going on, and offer them two weeks, but let them know how much you would appreciate them not taking the offer, because "blah...

    do i really have to give two weeks notice??

    JentheRN05 replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

    I offered two weeks notice. However, she said it wasn't necessary. I think if you explain the situation, that you need time to recoop and prepare for school that you can leave without the two weeks...

    RN's that dont like showering? Whats with that?

    JentheRN05 replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students

    Very good! I commend this entirely. When I was in nursing school, I was usually the first done with everything, then I would help out other students and the aides. But now that I'm an RN, I swear if...

    JentheRN05 replied to nurseabc123's topic in General Students

    We actually practiced on a mannequin. But when we did our head to toe assessment we stripped down to a bra and undies only. I have heard of others doing it that way though. I would talk to the...

    What does 75 questions mean mean

    JentheRN05 replied to Sandy46's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can fail with 75, but it's not likely. Think about it, you'd have to get the majority of the questions wrong, and never able to pull out of a slump of wrong answers to fail. On the other hand, I...

    JentheRN05 replied to VJRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX to me was actually easy. I felt the same, this is WAY to easy to be a passing thing. Yes I passed No the proctors know nothing about your grade. Don't worry about that. You were looking for...

    Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    JentheRN05 replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am still a new nurse. I quit my job after only 3 months due to lack of decent training. I was frustrated and being shoved well beyond what I thought I was safe to do. When it comes to your license...

    JentheRN05 replied to nursesandra's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you did the right thing contacting the doctor and being persistent. He probably does have an infection. But until you get the results back you/Dr. won't know. How long ago was the

    Feeling Incompetent

    JentheRN05 replied to Sapphy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I still think, if you wrote it in your nursing notes then you will be fine. I don't feel your DON was justified in being that way to you. I think you should remind them that you are still new, and...

    Feeling Incompetent

    JentheRN05 replied to Sapphy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well - I think it will be okay. You will need to write the orders you took, and the doctor will have to verify it. As long as you talked to him, and put it in your nurses notes, you will have a time...
