  1. Deliberate sabotage?

    ontheway2crna replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    Instead, perhaps the manager should be checking over the rooms to make sure everything is there and tell the nurses when there is something missing...that would be more helpful and not be a creepy...

  2. Students who fight back at instructor feedback

    ontheway2crna replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    These students are adults. I don't think it is anyone's job to correct their attitudes but their behaviors. If they are unwilling to correct their attitudes to fix their behaviors, then they will get...

  3. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    ontheway2crna replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not ignorant of the scientific process, I have a previous science-based bachelor degree and I was actively involved in research. I also have taken several statistics courses. You must not have...

  5. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    ontheway2crna replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    People kill themselves over being bullied, so I would never down play bullying or say that having your feelings hurt and saying you are being bullied is a cop out. If you feel like you are being...

  6. Attention med/surg/floor nurses

    ontheway2crna replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the neuro ICU, and let me tell you, sometimes we have an endless parade of visitors to see grandma. I also have hovering family members attempting to perform neuro checks on grandma while...

  7. Pain Seekers

    ontheway2crna replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Drug seekers are annoying, and when you have one in your group of patients, they will be the most time consuming patient of the day. If pain meds are prn q 2 hours on a Med/Surg floor, I would ask the...

  8. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

  10. What is the draw to nursing these days

    ontheway2crna replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Job security. As long as tobacco companies keep pumping out cigarettes and Americans keep smoking them as they drive up to Mcdonald's fast food windows in their big expensive SUVs we will always have...

  11. FHR, hypotension, birth experience, PLEASE HELP

    ontheway2crna replied to RachelScurlock's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your bp did not "plummet". Plummeting is going from a SBP of 180 needing all sorts of drips to maintain under that to a 40/20. Ive seen that. Perhaps with more nursing education and real nursing...

  13. PICC line issues, blood draw tips.

    ontheway2crna replied to Nurse.NoFilter's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes just flushing a lumen with not only 1 but 2 or 3 10 ml NS flushes gets it working and drawing better

  14. giving meds late when it's not in pixis

    ontheway2crna replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Medications

    Dont listen to that nurse. It is pharmacy's fault, too bad! And document it as such. We have an option in our emar for "medication not available". There are many reasons a medication may not be...

  15. What are the stress level ranking for these units?

    ontheway2crna replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Tele or CVICU floors will have codes everyday or almost everyday. I work with a former CICU nurse who could not take that stress and now works in neuro icu. Neuro icu is stressful because you could...

  16. difference in degrees

    ontheway2crna replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    She did say that, but no one else did, she was responding to who knows what. A previous person had posted that ADN with bachelors in a different field is more educated. Period. She added "in...

  17. difference in degrees

    ontheway2crna replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    I also am an ADN RN with a Bachelors degree in psychology, and I resent the fact that I have to now complete a BSN. I sympathize with the OP and I agree that it is all about money. I guess I will get...

  18. Survey on infant male circumcision

    ontheway2crna replied to wtbcrna's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think there has ever been anything "scientific" about ethics. We have many ways to keep a person alive in the ICU, but should we? Is what we do on a daily basis ethical for most of our pts? Who...

  19. Survey on infant male circumcision

    ontheway2crna replied to wtbcrna's topic in General Nursing

    The foreskin is a normal part of human anatomy and has stood the test of time through evolution, there must be a good reason for it... or is it like the

  20. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    ontheway2crna replied to carachel2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ontheway2crna replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Do you use a brain sheet? Even though it may seem silly, I would write down a spot for VS check at the time VS are taken and leave a empty box to check off. At first I would always forget to check VS...

  22. Can wound care nurses answer this ?

    ontheway2crna replied to TigerxLiLy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would ask the doctor to assess stasis ulcers and arterial ulcers because there may need to be a vascular consult ordered with additional testing needed, ie ABIs. For PUs , (Always on a bony...

  23. Can you solve this mcg to mg conversion?

    ontheway2crna replied to Emergent's topic in Patient Medications

    25 mcg or 50 mcg, 100 mcg/2 ml would be 1 ml for 50 mcg or 0.5 ml for 25 mcg. Just gotta move the
