So me and my husband are on a trip, I'm the guide evidently. Being a nurse, my mind is programmed to think anatomical directions: example- I point right and say left identifying the anatomical side of the body. This makes him crazy- I say right, po...

Hahaha I've been there! Not in OR though 🙊

My husband is also a welder. We live in KY, very common combo here.

Well I appreciate your feedback, I'm not one to have a closed mind, even though it appears from my previous posts I do. I just wanted her to think about other options in nursing, research etc.

Let's quote a previous post of mine that people seem to be Missing. This was posted after my remark about needing God, which just to me means spirituality. "I have previously been unaware of this feeling by people toward the pledge. I accept not all...

I have no words. So we are playing the I offend you by mistake and so you offend me on purpose game? For the record I'm not a bible thumper. I don't go to church. BTW (and don't accuse of of text talk for that or I will personally find every acrony...

Well, it's very obvious we all live in different ways. I'll say it again: take God out of the pledge. It still remains that the concept is to provide the BEST care possible, to your full ability.

Then you are taking a step in the right direction, I commend you for that. Just remember that it takes time for change.

I am aware. I don't want to come off as forcing a belief, we all have ours. Whether it's belief or not; it's our choice. My goal is to share the nursing oath, I didn't come up with it, but we say it where I come from. It's just words to some. What ...

I have previously been unaware of this feeling by people toward the pledge. I accept not all people believe in God, but just leave out the word God and say "I solemnly pledge myself before (examples) "the sun god, the moon, my partner etc" and in th...

So let's pretend you actually care for a moment. Florence nightingale is the founder of modern nursing basically. We quote that we "solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my pr...

I loved the Hurst review. I did the entire thing, then repeated sections where I wanted more knowledge. Passed first try 75 questions. It's pricey: I believe $300 in 2011 when I took it? Cant remember. But cheaper then retaking NCLEX multiple times. ...

Alya: As a RN, we take an oath before we graduate school and it reads: "I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is delet...

Chutney did u pass

"Normal" ratio of 1-15? No no no. 1-7 should be the norm, not the exception.

oxygen, EKG( if cleaR move to option two) Asa, morphine, labs, cath lab, icu. #2- if EKG clear: morphine, labs (d dimer,) chest X-ray, ct, mri maybe? If PE: clot buster, long term anticoag, Stop smoking.... If pneumothorax: chest tube. I'm pretty su...

I would do it!

Obvious had fluid overload, so you would treat the most critical first: oxygen sat, labs, lasix, monitoring, urine, teaching. Labs to see if she had a wbc count immediately: also check the potassium, bun creat see if it's also causing kidney failure...

Not a diabetic. Nothing to test it with. If he finally sees the doc I'll update

Hey ya'll. Happy Tuesday. Let's see if I can explain this good enough, lol. I had a pt yesterday who had symptoms of a stroke. (Slurred speech, can't walk or stand, unable to tell me his age, DOB, can't hold things in his hand, involuntary jerks, wa...

Dear BBYgirl, Make a website. Create a poll Title it "was the PVT accurate for you" Share on every social network and in forum. Give it a few weeks then tally the results Maybe this will solve some issues. As far as this post, I'm exhausted just rea...

My back story: I got pregnant in the last year of my ADN program, with my beautiful daughter due in April. I had an regency section end of March, and when I asked how many days I could skip class, I was told ONE! Lol. I was discharged on Sunday, and ...
