  1. Coming in late with a weird question

    dbabz replied to Flare's topic in School

    I had to google "sovereign citizen." Basically your Tim McVeigh-Terry Nichols-Cliven Bundy anti-government type who believes that laws don't apply to them, that they don't have to pay taxes and that...

  2. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you. The fact that you wrote the above makes me think I'm preaching to the choir, but for anyone else out there: if there's a new person on the floor, and you're ordering out for lunch, make...

  3. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    dbabz replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My son just told me that some rapper, Lil Xan was hospitalized for eating too many flamin' hot cheetos: Yeah, I went to the hospital today. Getting ready to pack for this tour. I just want to let...

    They're all about the NCLEX pass rate. In retrospect, that is a big red

  5. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    God bless you. Would sooooo love to believe that. So I guess I will. I just need to figure out what I did do wrong and fix it for the next

  6. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I tend to agree with you. I got a two-degrees-below-lukewarm reception from the beginning and it just went downhill from there. I tried being friendly, offering my help to other nurses (almost always...

    Thank you! All the support here is very helpful. It's easy to get caught up in a culture on a floor and forget that there's more out

    Thanks!

  9. Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    dbabz replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    That said, I feel your pain. I've had similar experiences not in nursing so much as life in general. My first reaction was a feeling of insult. Then I had to wonder what about my appearance or...

    Nope.

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! Thanks so much. Admittedly, my confidence is shaken. I'm going to live your words

  12. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts. I want to believe that everything happens for a reason and there's something better around the next corner, but I can't get rid of this feeling that I've...

  13. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks. That's encouraging. In psych, did you get to interact with the patients, or was it just passing meds most of the

  14. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My concern as well. That was the reason that I didn't consider going into psych right out of

  15. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've thought of that as well. The position I was supposed to fill is not posted on the website and I noticed that there's a new nurse on that shift--someone who returned from medical leave. Poor...

  16. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    2 big ones: I had never drawn blood or started an IV in school. I did each of those things once on the floor--and got the IV on the first try. School tried to tell us that no nursing schools teach...

  17. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    dbabz replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Except for the fact that my son is now in HS, I could have written this post. Does your son have an IEP? As others have said, you can get him evaluated through your local public school system if the...

  18. Case Study: Why Is She Having Hallucinations? The Mystery of The Dog in A Fedora

    dbabz replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Toxicity of the magic markers? Although the children would have had a similar reaction. This is fun! More,

  19. Peanut allergy issue

    dbabz replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Right? One year my son's football team did snack rotation for all the games. Team parent sent e-mail out for signup and got a slew of e-mails back--"Skylar is dairy-free, gluten-free and casein-free;...

  20. Peanut allergy issue

    dbabz replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    Years ago my son, who is very small for his age due to Crohn's and growth hormone deficiency, inhaled peanut butter sandwiches. In addition, he had many academic issues, including ADHD and behavior...

  21. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    dbabz replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I wrote the above while eating half a bag of Sour Patch Exploders. I feel like crap now and they weren't even that

  22. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    dbabz replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard similar stories and it makes sense if you think about it for half a minute. Kid who's homeless but has the latest $250.00 Jordans? That's something the parent CAN give the child. May not be...

  23. Injured doing compressions?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the input. Much better now after a couple of visits to the chiropractor (or maybe would have cleared up on its own; don't know.) Anyway, I got lucky and lesson

    Good

  25. Injured doing compressions?

    dbabz replied to dbabz's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. Lesson definitely learned. I kind of knew in the back of my head that I was overdoing it, but no one else was stepping up. Next time, I'll be more
