    What is a 30 unit

  2. Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree with your post, 100% I think RNdynamic is trying to get a rise out of people. She/he has other posts about doing "whip its" while being in a monitoring program and charting fake vital signs...

    OBwonKnewbie replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree with so many others that you are not alone in making mistakes. The only nurse who has never made a mistake is a nurse who has never worked bedside! Think of all the things you did right....

    this. Is. The. Best.

  6. med errors

    OBwonKnewbie replied to LPNinjanurse's topic in Patient Medications

    We are human, and mistakes happen. It should scare you very much that this happened, and the most positive thing that can happen from this now is that you learn to be extra careful. Did your facility...

  7. night nurse can't sleep during the day!

    OBwonKnewbie replied to keener's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are going to sleep ok, just not staying asleep? Am i right? You may need to try a different sleeping medicine then. White noise and darkness is key. Try the sleep mask, it does...

  8. night nurse can't sleep during the day!

    OBwonKnewbie replied to keener's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you, as I have been here. Do you have black out curtains or shades? Even if your room is very dark i would do all i could to makeit pitch black. I also bought an eye mask, mine has curved...

    And let's not forget the posts about charting fake vitals and

  10. The sloppy image of nurses today

    OBwonKnewbie replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think OP is not serious and is looking for a rise. This OP also wrote posts talking about how he/she charts fake vitals and does "whip its" while being in a monitoring program. OP, what are you...

  11. Failed NCLEX RN 7 times. Need help. Any suggestions are welcome.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to nursetobe911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry, I failed to quote this earlier in my reply. In my state, every application to take NCLEX is posted on the BON as an application to test. If a license is not given after the test, the...

  12. Failed NCLEX RN 7 times. Need help. Any suggestions are welcome.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to nursetobe911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My state's BON shows how many attempts were made by showing that you were an NCLEX applicant, then it shows "closed" if the person did not receive a license. Each application to take NCLEX is...

  13. Failed NCLEX RN 7 times. Need help. Any suggestions are welcome.

    OBwonKnewbie replied to nursetobe911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have to agree with Rose_Queen, and it is not to be mean. As others have said, nursing is not for everyone, and passing school is not a guarantee of getting a license. There is a reason we have to...

  14. High Spinal

    OBwonKnewbie posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone had any experience with anesthesia accidentally giving patients a high spinal? Do you have policies in place for what to do besides following ACLS? We had this happen while a patient was...

  15. Cya basics

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Crosobien's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Know how to handle "disruptive" prescribers and how to deal with hostile/disruptive workplace situations. Know your chain of command, aka: who and in what order you notify superiors if you are not...

  16. Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    OBwonKnewbie replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish, but the problem lies with the 2 passive aggressive bullies being in associate manager positions. The floor is also very seniority driven, with the idea that if you haven't done the time on...

  17. Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    OBwonKnewbie replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love this! I'm going to write it down

  18. Job abandonment

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I got ya. I say good for you. I have not worked in LTC but I would have done the same thing. And when the DON told you that she had no one to cover I would have said "well....aren't you a nurse? I'm...

  19. Question about nursing and RRT

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Ryan Walker's topic in General Nursing

    I think you REALLY need to shadow someone in these positions for more than 1 day and see what it is really like. PTA (i'm guessing you mean physical therapy assistant) have to deal with smelly things...

  20. Do you prefer to circulate or scrub?

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Rory8's topic in Operating Room

    I much prefer scrubbing. You only have 1 job really....keep track and count of all instruments/needles/tapes/sponges and ensure sterility. Circulators have to do everything, like chart, run for...

  21. Job abandonment

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a little confused, didn't you say you received report? Or does the report not count because you weren't on the clock? You were absolutely right to be

  22. Question about nursing and RRT

    OBwonKnewbie replied to Ryan Walker's topic in General Nursing

    OP, can I just clarify too that none of us *like* the smell of poop?.....we didn't become RNs because it's our dream to wipe poopy butts.....but we can get over it and do our jobs without gagging....

  23. Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    OBwonKnewbie replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny, I was thinking of posting something similar to this. My unit is similar, and it can be awkward at times. I work with a few very selfish and catty nurses. The kind of girls that never left high...

  24. Hospital that bans family members

    OBwonKnewbie replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agreed!

  25. Certifications

    OBwonKnewbie posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello! Anyone here with RNC-OB certification - can you tell me what the benefits are of being certified!? I have been looking into OB certification but my more experienced coworkers tell me it's a...
