  1. Did I did not do enough?

    bgxyrnf replied to Depressnewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    Your assessment was incomplete and missed the strongest indicators for a dislocated hip (which should have been the number one differential given the patient's history). Specifically, dislocated hips...

  2. confused undergrad student

    bgxyrnf replied to jojo97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finish your BS and then get into nursing school at either the AS, BS, or MS level. Once you've finished, take the NCLEX. Then, presuming that you pass and that you don't have disqualifications in your...

  3. Nursing theory

    bgxyrnf replied to Meenerh Adam's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Discussion on music theory See how hard it is to have a discussion starting from

  4. UC Davis New Grad 2018

    bgxyrnf replied to CARN2018's topic in General Students

    And regarding the status, it doesn't mean much. "Route" just means that it's been sent to the hiring manager; any application that meets the basic requirements gets routed. It will stay "route" until...

  5. UC Davis New Grad 2018

    bgxyrnf replied to CARN2018's topic in General Students

    There's enough legit stress to be found in the process; don't add any more. If it said it successfully attached then it successfully attached. I've applied for several jobs at UC Davis and I've never...

  6. Urgent: Need IV Certification for RN in Bay Area

    bgxyrnf replied to LizzerRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your position, I'd hop on the next Southwest flight to SoCal and get it done. Say it costs $1,000 or so... money well spent if it lands you a job, especially in high-cost SF bay area...

  7. Afraid to quit my job

    bgxyrnf replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

    Which is precisely why I would try as hard as possible to give the full notice that they request, or at the very least, agree to work per diem over a few weeks to help their transition. Burning...

  8. Currently on orientation at a level 1 trauma ER,help!

    bgxyrnf replied to lainaa's topic in Emergency

    Work to learn what are the legitimate emergencies associated with various complaints. For example, a patient with lower back pain is usually a clinic-type patient who just needs some medication and a...

  9. Compartment syndrome

    bgxyrnf replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That sounds like a Google question but it's also essentially meaningless. It's not so much about the absolute compartment pressure as it is about the effects of same. I haven't the foggiest notion of...

  10. Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    bgxyrnf replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    Personally, I'd just block him on my phone and mostly ignore him in the program. If he continues on, then be very direct and frank, and tell him to please not interact with you. From there, be even...

  11. Is this fair?

    bgxyrnf replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Yikes, $10k to retake an exam? Being a nurse is not worth that kind of

  12. HELP! Pharm 2 final exam in 1.5 weeks...

    bgxyrnf replied to queensnyc's topic in General Students

    I don't have any specific recommendations for how to make up lost ground in the last week or so before your final but I do want to make two general comments: 1) Going forward, whether it's in a repeat...

  13. What do you do when the evidence isn't there but you kind of think it will be eventually?

    bgxyrnf replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse but rather an ED nurse. Still, there's some overlap between our roles, at least in this context. First, the patient's general appearance is a legitimate part of the assessment;...

  14. HELP! Nursing textbooks??

    bgxyrnf replied to UnknownChild's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Rent the books or buy older versions. If doing the latter, recognize that you may get dinged a few points along the way because of changes in the text but if you're not a marginal student that's...

  15. AF or AFL or Artifact

    bgxyrnf replied to Dsmcmm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I see P waves... mostly clearly on the first line and the first couple beats of the second line. They get lost in the artifact and then are not visible in some beats and in others are just a slight...

    bgxyrnf replied to RN_17's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Either of these two: [ATTACH=CONFIG]25325[/ATTACH] https://www.aviatorscrubs.com/donsshop/12-shirt-with-cargo-pockets-stock or [ATTACH=CONFIG]25326[/ATTACH]...

  17. Vein Finders: Yes/No?

    bgxyrnf replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I actually own the Venoscope II and have used the AccuVein and both are OK and can be helpful but ultrasound is the gold standard for any difficult stick from infant through centenarian. I actually...

  18. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    bgxyrnf replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    My first job was 3.5 hours from home; the only saving grace was that I worked 3 consecutive 12's so I could still be home and functional for 3 days per week. Working 8's would have been...

  19. Neuro (ALS) question!!! Please help!

  20. Transitioning from Psych to ICU/Med Surg

    bgxyrnf replied to indnur87's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the approach that I would take: Make appointments to meet the managers on the floors where you'd like to work. Clearly state your desire to transition into a med-surg/med-tele role. Acknowledge...

  21. Hidden camera in nursing home, cries for help unanswered

    bgxyrnf replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    From a protection standpoint, you might be better off with visible cameras rather than hidden ones. Hidden cameras are more useful after the fact while visible cameras have a deterrent

  22. Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    bgxyrnf replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    In the broadest definition of harassment and expanding the scope beyond the workplace, I think it's probably true that the large majority of women have been harassed at some point in their lives. To...

  23. Men in Nursing...

    bgxyrnf replied to eaglenurse2b12's topic in Male Nursing Students

    "One of the few guys..." Nope, not anymore. I work at an academic facility and we host nursing students from several local colleges and universities. It's pretty close to 50-50 these

  24. Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    bgxyrnf replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    As I said, it's certainly not fair nor appropriate. However, I think at the current moment in our national psyche and dialog, it's inappropriate for men to pipe up with "me,

  25. Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    bgxyrnf replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    Admittedly it's not fair but the scope of the problem is many orders of magnitude greater when directed toward the paired X's compared to the XY's and hence a much higher
