  1. What to study before anesthesia school?

    Khaan replied to Nishas22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd love a copy of the USUHS pharm handbook as well if you're still around. Please, thank you, you're wonderful!

  2. Littman Cardiology IV or Classic III for nursing student?

    Khaan replied to fiddlestix327's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Littmann Cardio. I've tried littmann classics and also compared Welch Allyn Harvey Elite. I like the cardiology the best because of the dual head; however, the Harvey is superior to picking up tonal...

  3. Are you about to graduate?

    Khaan replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Students

    I don't understand how you feel. I'm eager to be working as an RN, but I'm working 24 hours per week in a CCU doing the same thing, just not making money. I'm happy and not anxious at all. Maybe take...

  4. Name one of your favorite things about being a male nurse.

    Khaan replied to DatMurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow, this makes me sad. I have trouble relating to other guys well, yet everyone else

  5. What are you bringing to work?

    Khaan replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Forgot to mention peppermint oil to put under my nose / dab on mask for

  6. Dressy, Comfortable Work Shoes

    Khaan replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    ECCO Loafers in black. Feel like slippers. Look like business

  7. What are you bringing to work?

    Khaan replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Figs Scrubs (not the cargo pants. I hate cargo pants cause the stuff in the pockets swings around). ECCO Loafers (think wearing pajamas to work is fun? Try wearing shoes that feel like slippers and...

  8. Why the double standard.

    Khaan replied to RN2364's topic in Men in Nursing

    This. I like doing all my own procedures, regardless if male or female. I'd ask a female RN or CNA to observe, and perhaps assist, in a procedure, as long as the patient is comfortable with it. What...

  9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're right. I hope that's not the reason. There's a lot of fantastic nurses in my unit that are overweight. I hate seeing the struggle they have to

  10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can understand not wanting to hire overweight nurses. Your body burns out fast if you're fat, and nursing is a very physically demanding job. I see so many fat nurses who suffer on the job, and then...

  11. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Khaan replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Whether it should or not is one thing. The reality is, I believe many people will take other healthcare workers less seriously. I don't believe obesity correlates with poor clinician skills, but you...

  12. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A summary of the first part of Watchful Care. It really is science and art. It takes finesse. This was moreso true when all they had was ether and precordial auscultation to titrate their anesthetic....

  13. Would you report this error?

    Khaan replied to caffeinatednurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, especially because it involves narcotics. It needs to be

  14. Avoiding versed?

    Khaan replied to offlabel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Versed just sucks for older individuals period. If they aren't anxious after a good bedside talk, why

  15. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. I've shadowed some CRNAs and MDAs and they just shrug at the notion of "turf." Who cares. As long as everyone gets respect & paid and the patient has better

  16. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    Khaan replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm only in my senior year toward my BSN, but there are potentially some pathologies that can be picked up on better by physicians other than nurse practitioners. I could be wrong. Perhaps a PCP as...

  17. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    Khaan replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Tell him to stop, and be serious. Tell him why he should stop. If he doesn't, escalate to his and your

  18. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    Khaan replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yuck, talk about morale issues. If I had to wear a color I didn't like every day I'd go

  19. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    Khaan replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I resent that statement. I am very professional in my scrub

  20. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    Khaan replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I introduce myself. "Hi, I'm Khaan, the student nurse who will be caring for you

  21. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Khaan replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't. And if it does, the unit, organization, etc. needs a culture change. It falls on everyone - physician, NP, RN, RT, CNA, PT/OT, Pharm.D, UAP, LPN,

  22. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    Khaan replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Same here, and agree. The moment you become personally or emotionally involved in any or all patients, you need to take time off to overcome this. Coding someone last week, to me, it was just a...

  23. Why I'm leaving nursing

    Khaan replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of "giving up the faith" it would be better to use your energy from these negative experiences to play a role as an agent of change. Nurses overrun the healthcare system. If we unite our voice...

  24. Senior Year - Feeling Anxious

    Khaan posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just started my senior year in my BSN program and I'm getting really nervous. My program has us doing Kaplan review tests already (about 10 tests a week; 5, remediate, retake, so effectively 10). I...

  25. Senior Year - Feeling Anxious

    Khaan replied to Khaan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hear you. We are required to do NCLEX questions throughout our entire senior year, so I have to focus on it. It's hard when you get questions like how to position a patient after liver biopsy when...
