    Glad you told me! Definitely won't go down that route then

  2. I Hate People (my rant)

    noelly10 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol I know what it was a conversation of. I've been here since the very first comment. Forgive me, I just woke up for my fourth shift this week and I'm grumpy. But I'm wondering if you've read the...

  3. PCA pump

    noelly10 replied to luvmydogNC's topic in Patient Medications

    Also true. Now I'm confused lol. I say, if the patient has another line you can use to administer meds, I would use that line. Let the PCA line be your last choice, but don't do it immediately. Check...

  4. Do you wear a back brace?

    noelly10 replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, am short. Only 5 foot tall. So the back brace may not be a good option for me either. I have been to a chiro, but not sure if I fully believe what they do, all do respect to those who do put...

  5. PCA pump

    noelly10 replied to luvmydogNC's topic in Patient Medications

  6. PCA pump

    noelly10 replied to luvmydogNC's topic in Patient Medications

    Definitely would not do that. That is a pretty big no no, I feel, to push other meds in the same line that the d is running (dilaudid). For one thing, you have to consider possible med

  8. I Hate People (my rant)

    noelly10 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh boy. I do believe the posts are turning from trying to help by suggesting a different career option, to "oh, you'll be fine! You can hate people and still have the makings of a *great* nurse."

  11. Can we start a new thread on tips to manage/prevent burnout and compassion fatigue?

    noelly10 replied to mystory's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's easier said than done when you haven't experienced the stress a nurse faces. Being a pre-nursing or nursing student just going through clinical is a different world from nursing. It's not so much...

  12. This week, I learned (7/18).....

    noelly10 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh very true. Maybe I'm just too nice and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt too much. The world may never

  13. Help me pick the best option for my education ?

    noelly10 replied to Sabrina0826's topic in General Students

    noelly10 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1) people can be really, really....really stupid 2) I lose focus when I try to read long posts...then I end up getting myself in trouble by repeating things, or misreading things. 3) people can't...

  18. Nurses turn to pet therapy

    noelly10 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    The first time I saw and pet a boxer I swore I would have one one day. I can't handle two dogs at once, so a boxer is my next fur child. They have such a squishy, adorable face!! I must have

    noelly10 replied to lrobinson5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
