  1. vent not working

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to G'smommy's topic in MICU, SICU

    How absolutely terrifying! I hope this isn't a common occurence, I don't work with anyone on vents but I remember my ICU clinical, and what you've described sounds like it should never happen... what...

  2. she called me a spoiled b***(sorry off topic)

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to capribry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds to me as if she is mentally ill. Stay away from her. Use caller ID and do not answer her calls. Change your number if you have to. If she confronts you in public, walk away. IF you need to...

  3. Dilemma!!!! Please help......

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to FutureNurse2B's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would go ahead and take it... and continue to study the practice tests up until you take the NCLEX. The review can be extraordinarily beneficial, and certainly couldn't hurt. Before I took my NCLEX...

  4. What did you learn today as a nurse?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to minnib's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that one of our residents thinks it is funny to pull his nitro patch off and stick it to the back of your neck when he pretends to hug you... guess he likes to see people fall

  5. Patients whose gf/bf sleep with them in the hospital bed

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Students

    I've had it happen before too. I just thought it was sweet. Now, what DID upset me was when the wife was the patient and the husband would only stay with her if he could have the bed and she slept on...

  6. My first lost patient

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to elizabells's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm so sorry... I cannot even imagine. Even though your compassion is a burden sometimes, please remember that it is still what makes you such an effective nurse. Keep

  7. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hi Lynnsey! I graduated from Wallace 3 years ago. It's a great school. Are you in the LPN or RN

  8. I need your help with recruting ideas.

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to HarryPotter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A wonderful DON for starters... also a sign-on bonus, plus great

  9. Over-prescribing antibiotics at its best! (i can't believe this happened)

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking the same thing... if you could hear her across a room, I mean, wow. Sounds annoying to me. I can't imagine trying to take a test, etc with Darth Vader in the next row. :chuckle Perhaps...

  10. Question? Going in major debt..with minor doubt..about nursing career?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    I hate seeing people so jaded by nursing. I know that I wouldn't want someone like that caring for me or my loved one. When you get to that point, I agree that it is time to get out, and let some of...

  11. Help!!! Failed 2nd Nursing Coures And Don't Know Where 2 Turn

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to OLOLstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me as if you have been up against the world this past year. If I were on the board that you are going to appeal to, I would be more than sympathetic. Don't give up, go into that appeal...

  12. Priceless!!!

    LoriAlabamaRN posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    Priceless > > > > > > Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his > > company's Christmas Party. > > Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't...

  13. How do you deal with death?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    It has helped me to remember that I did all that I could. We had a resident die recently who had been in a lot of pain. I had realized several days before she died that she had become unable to...

  14. Professional Misconduct

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to bertita's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters- I think you are very lucky not to have lost your job over this. I would have fired you. I doubt very seriously that this incident is over- you would do well to be on...

  15. disclosing previous work history

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to catgirl214789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DISCLOSE THEM. If you don't, it will be discovered later (you are tied to those jobs by your social security number). This is too important to risk losing everything on. If they question you, explain...

  16. Would You Press Charges?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I would discuss the situation with your supervisor, but my first reaction is YES, press

  17. Looooong scrubs

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to ShockerGirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curious because I am 5'11 and my inseam is

  18. Near miss, should I be blamed?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    DEFINATELY put in your notice, meet with the hospital administrator and discuss your concerns. Have them read a copy of the first post you posted on here. Let them know that you have been a dedicated...

  19. Digs in her Progress Notes!

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was inappropriate as well, and I would have taken it as a dig. Just because the patient acted one way on your shift does not negate your entry. She should have left off the "Contrary blah...

  20. extra clothes

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to nursecher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me 4-5 sets, plus two-three aprons (we had to wear these hideous bib-like things over our white scrubs). I didn't get anything too gross on me, got a smear of blood on one set from a lady...

  21. Good vibes and prayers for Fun2Care!

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Race Mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! I have been praying for you!!! I felt so badly when you didn't get accepted last time, and I am so incredibly excited for you! You're going to do phenomenal and be an...

  22. Question about story (pt refuse treatment)

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to capribry's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that leg thing is wild... never heard of anything like that! Anyone know of a link to that

  23. Has anyone had successful spinal surgery?

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad that your surgery went well! After my preop eval I will prob contact you (if that's ok) to see how similar the procedures will be... thank you so much for giving me further

  24. CNA Surprise!

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to tofutti's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's wonderful, Tofutti! Many hospitals (at least around Alabama) will take a nursing student for a CNA position even without experience. I think it's because they hope they will continue to work at...

  25. criminal background check

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to pixie-dust37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From the information you have given, I sincerely doubt there will be a problem obtaining your license. I have known of many people with past offenses who have not had a problem once they provide the...
