  1. Crusty Old Bats

    carbon copies for orders
  2. Nicu Meds

    Hi, I haven't worked bedside for a few years. I have had a lot of experience in pediatrics and floated many times in NICU. I mainly cared for feeders and growers. Since it has been a while, does anyone have a list of common meds with dosages fo...
  3. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    My point is it should of been listed in your OP, not within17 pages , which I am not going to read.
  4. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    The middle paragraph only talks about people that already had Covid. It doesn't discuss allegergies and hx of Guillen Barre and such
  5. TNCC Scenarios

    It has been a while since I was TNCC certified, but what I can remember the scenerio were either the same or very close to what is in the book
  6. Most hilarious/creative/inventive names you've been called...

    Honestly, I pretty much ignore what ever is said. I was surprised when I heard a 3 year old call me a Puta (SP maybe wrong.)Once I found out what that was I told the parents they were bad parents for teaching their child that and laughing at it.
  7. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Not trying to be a snot. But why not post the valid reasons instead of just supplying links?
  8. BLS Renewal

    Thank you
  9. BLS Renewal

    I just recently got a text saying the AHA is not requiring in person testing due to covid. Does anyone know anything about this?
  10. Double standards b/w nurses and police officers

    Well I am so glad you have never been faced with that situation. Unfortunately, so of us have not been so lucky.
  11. Double standards b/w nurses and police officers

    Apparently you never worked in an ER. There is a bunch of crazy out there.
  12. The Pros and Cons of Retaking Classes

    Thank you, I been a nurse for 22 years. Passed the NCLEX first time with 75 Q. We did go thru the ranks and we were pretty much told to suck it up. Refused to listen or look at proof. That is why they refused to let us record the class retake.
  13. The Pros and Cons of Retaking Classes

    I had to retake OB because the professors were worthless. Out of 80 students, 66 failed. They failed because their notes/lectures in class were different from the book, and never agreed with each other. We did not know how to answer the tests, since...
  14. Vaccine Hesitancy

    As a nurse, once I can get it I will get it. As a Christian, most people I talk with that are reluctant to get it just plain don't trust the government, or any agency connected to it. I honestly can't blame them. I do try to talk logically with them....
  15. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    ???
  16. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    I know what “Jack of all Trades “ means. I was being funny, hence the emoji..... btw not sure if you are, but I never claimed to “ Know everything”
  17. OK here is a series... well maybe not a true series, 3 episodes. This is for M/S the show is on Hula called "Getting On" it is made by the BBC so it is English.
  18. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    Not a master of all, I know enough to be dangerous ??? yes, I did HD but left after a few weeks on orientation when I found out the company expected you to work 12 hrs, be on call 12 hrs afterwards once a week.... the on call almost guarantee at leas...
  19. Cutting myself short?..but trying to make the best

    Consider ENPC and NRP (just in case you get a pesky preemie or newborn that just cant wait to go to OB). It's not that you are cutting yourself short. Sometimes you just got to do what works best for your family. Never feel guilty about that.
  20. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    I have worked Acute Rehab and clinic, and OB, yes I am... but then again I worked ER too
  21. Frequency of codes in peds emergency?

  22. Med Surg nurse being given Tele Patients

    So here are a few options ask for a day or two of orientation of tele patients. Also I suggest you get ACLS. Just because you are M/S doesn't mean that is necessary. It can make you more comfortable in dealing with emergent rhythms.
  23. Seriously, I just wanted to make money. Ended up working in many sought after specialties.... From Peds stem cell transplant/cvs to Peds ER at a level 1 trauma center to adult ER, PICU and many other various areas. 21 years into nursing, just was tol...
  24. Infusion Tx and OCN

    So I have been a RN for over 20 years. I have worked in various floors to Pediatric Stem Cell 20 years ago, Peds ER level 1 trauma center, Nicu, PICU, Med Surg, LTACH most recent. I was in a semi vs car accident and had to have 2 major surgery’s ...
  25. Infusion Tx and OCN

    Thanks I think you are right. I have been trying to look up where I would take the ONC Chemo and Biological. Just can't find info. As for contacting a hiring manager. Since I am not employed currently, I don't have one. Hence why I came her to ask. T...
