  2. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    nurseprnRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me, we ate a fair amount of crap before he learned this. It's like teaching an adolescent who's never had responsibility for food before. Remember, they are handicapped-- they are not...

  3. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    nurseprnRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Check for spraying on walls, furniture, etc. Males and females will do this. You can see urine spots best with a small hand-held black light; a worthwhile investment. No, I have no idea why they...

  4. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    nurseprnRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My husband took over the shopping when he retired. It was a little dicey for a year or two, because I had gotten used to not putting all the staples on the list (like the same gallon of milk, the same...

  6. Nurse Slang Yo!

    nurseprnRN replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Leave-'em-dead for levophed In our place the Vegetable Garden was the neuro stepdown unit mostly populated by young men aged 16-28. They used to have bad judgment; now they

  7. Pt diverting pain meds, managers aware, nothing is done!

    nurseprnRN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask the physician to prescribe the med in liquid form. You can tell the patient that it will be more effective faster for his pain (this is actually true), since he needs to have it so promptly for...

  8. Late on interview.

    nurseprnRN replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, because of the overly florid language and usage errors. Because I'm feeling charitable, I have rewritten it for you to be more professional. I have to warn you, though, that if your original...

  9. Screwed Over by My School

    nurseprnRN replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Well, now you know your options. I believe they range from "Nothing" to "Chillax" to "Have a nice glass of wine and forget all about it." And ... have a nice life.

  10. Should I take this job?

    nurseprnRN replied to RNdonut's topic in General Nursing

    Possibilities: 1) They are having a hard time filling these jobs so they are recruiting from farther and farther away 2) You'll be working late and driving an hour after a long hard shift-- risky...

  11. I'm a nurse. Also a birth mom. Any others?

    nurseprnRN replied to newRNinthecity's topic in General Nursing

    At this remove and with the maturity that came with time, I think you might benefit from a session or two with a counselor who specializes in this. Just the ticket to help you sort it out, address how...

    I took two semesters of college chem plus one semester of organic chem, all required. Had great profs all

  13. 100% on my exam and it wasn't exciting... :(

    nurseprnRN replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    But still instructive. With the beginning of the new school year upon us, it's good to remind folks that everything old is new to somebody, and using Search to check out previous students' experience...

  14. Cannot stand director

    nurseprnRN replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I'm thinking the OP may have added us to her list of people unsuited to teach her. Of course, I more closely resemble Kathy Bates. Bathroom's down the hall on the left. Be back in time for

  15. v tach vs. v fib

    nurseprnRN replied to violet_violet's topic in Cardiac

    It's September and folks are learning cardiac again!

  16. Transactional Leadership

    nurseprnRN replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, then. How do you see this as being (or not being) effective or useful in healthcare settings? Then perhaps some folks can say how/if it worked where they are. You

  17. Need help with Neuro and its Patho

    nurseprnRN replied to kkellogg's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you have specific questions about something that confuses you, please ask. But thus is too general. What do you know, and then what is

  18. Transactional Leadership

    nurseprnRN replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Could you tell us what you know about transactional leadership, so we can have a more two-sided

  19. Cannot stand director

    nurseprnRN replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    Ah, young ones, if you didn't mean this as a huge joke, I suggest you think about it some more before you repeat it to anybody. If we weren't teaching we could be in a position where we'd earn a lot...

  20. ADN then RN-BSN or BSN?

    nurseprnRN replied to Majoraty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA experience does not count as nursing experience when applying for work as a nurse. You'll be a new grad,

  21. Drop Patho?

    nurseprnRN replied to Madc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd get it done with, unless you can drop it now without penalty of any kind (check that carefully) and audit it for the rest of the semester, then retake for credit next semester. You'll know what...

  22. Urgent! IV drip rate?

    nurseprnRN replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Backing off from the equation part for a sec, look at the elements first. You have 50mEq to give at 10mEq per hour. Regardless of what the total in the bag with the 50mEq in it is, you should be able...

  23. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    nurseprnRN replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Your imagination aside, I can easily imagine a situation where a CI would make verbal correction, then verbal warnings, a student would ignore or forget them, and it would get repeated enough that the...

  24. Advice on volunteering abroad as new grad

    nurseprnRN replied to M0808's topic in General Students

    If they'll take you, it could be a great experience. I have no opinion one way or the other on whether it would make you more generally marketable in the US when you return, unless you're looking at a...

  25. no SACS accreditation

    nurseprnRN replied to Deletrius's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
