  1. Jeff State Spring 2016 Applicants

    nurs4kids posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Okay, I've read the threads on "Jeff State Applicants" from the past several years. I couldn't find one on Spring 2016. Looks like in the past, the cut-off scores ranged from 170-180. Apps are due...

    Hubs got in, Shelby! Good luck to all of

  3. Is a physical exam required before being licensed as an LPN

    nurs4kids replied to kenny_longtin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OP, I just acquired a job as a case manager....after twenty years RN experience, AND a BSN. I think others are trying to be nice, but I am going to be blunt to try to save your daughter from wasting...

  4. Jeff State Spring 2016 Applicants

    nurs4kids replied to nurs4kids's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Feeneisha, it is already interesting! Here I am with twenty years exp as a RN, and he is only taking the basic sciences. He discusses things, or asks me questions r/t anatomy, and I look at him like...

  5. THANK YOU, to the staff, mods, and admins....

    nurs4kids replied to weirdscience's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to the Allnurses community. I am rarely around here these days, but when I was told the news by a coworker, my heart broke for everyone. Brian was an amazing man who made a...

  6. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    nurs4kids replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOVE IT! Umm, can I get this doc's number? We all know that we don't become alarmed until it's been 45 minutes or so with multiple pages and still no call back. I've been searching for this type...

  7. "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    nurs4kids posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious to the general opinion of fellow nurses. Raised and practice in the south, but ran into a funny debate this past week. While I was raised to say ma'am and sir, it is not my practice to...

  8. "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    nurs4kids replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize for inconveniencing you with my insignificant post. Was not my attempt to make a "big deal" as I was simply interested to see how other colleagues felt about this insignificant,...

  9. They won't stop calling me!

    nurs4kids replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Haha..it was too funny to edit. No, not perverse my marriage, but preserve. However, sometimes I may perverse it a bit

  10. They won't stop calling me!

    nurs4kids replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    There is a huge difference in attitude of "seasoned" nurses and the younger generations. I fall in the seasoned group, but completely understand and agree with the younger generation thought process....

  11. VP shunt...yikes

    nurs4kids replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Wow!! Never, in over 15 years of caring for VP shunt revisions have I heard of that!! I would think there would be some obvious neuro changes with that drastic pressure

  12. anyone know anything about the "nursing Asst Academy" in Alabaster

    nurs4kids replied to magnolia3957's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Most hospitals will hire you as a CA after your second nursing class. There is another CA program in the Gardendale area, but I don't know the

  13. Lawson or JeffState

    nurs4kids replied to csmithrn2b's topic in Alabama Nursing

    This is probably a bit late, but I had to defend Lawson after reading the posts here. I attended Lawson back in the 90's before it was integrated (I was the token white girl). I could not have asked...

  14. How to prevnt Medication Administration Errors

    nurs4kids replied to NurseMike9111's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I came here searching for this exact thread. My facility is researching "Med Admin Distractions" and we will initiate an action plan sometime this year. I found the attached file and thought you may...

  15. Crocs!

    nurs4kids replied to mel1977's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Exactly! I had/have the same problem. Started out thinking they were the miracle shoe. Now I have to alternate my crocs with merrills (every other day or so) otherwise the crocs will cause my PF to...

  16. SBAR Report Form. what do you use?

    nurs4kids replied to jamonit's topic in General Nursing

    I posted a thread about this and then found this one. We have a form and we use SBAR but hate it and as other's said it is way too much info. I wouldn't mind sending you our form, but I'm looking for...

  17. Any buretrol advice???

    nurs4kids replied to VickyRN's topic in Pediatric

    Canadian, We use the ones without a filter for lipids. I can not imagine how you ever get it to infuse or prime with lipids and a filter?? I know you guys are going to scream, but.. we use them on...

  18. 4 month old with chronic constipation

    nurs4kids replied to jprn05's topic in Pediatric

    Lord, we will scare you to death, eh? Okay, I admit my first thought was hirschsprungs, but I seriously doubt it's that serious. We ARE talking about a forumula fed infant, so some constipation is...

  19. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    nurs4kids replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    thanks! i'll head to lowes

  20. You know you are a PEDS nurse when...

    nurs4kids replied to HU_nurse's topic in Pediatric

    Those are great! ..when you are out in public and you suspect the large-headed toddler may have hydrocephalus. ...when you try to figure out what syndrome the kid in the grocery line has by the way he...

  21. PLease help, peds take home questions

    nurs4kids replied to SanskeetRN's topic in Pediatric

    I sorta/kinda disagree with the answer on the TPN question. If the child is on long-term TPN, an increase of 1/3 at one time could cause hyperglycemia. At least I would think it could. I would lean...

  22. pediatric paper

    nurs4kids replied to StudentNurseSteph's topic in Pediatric

    I would hate to have to write a paper on Spina Bifida and limit it to 5 pages. It is soooooooo complex. Be careful not to leave out all the other processes that go with SB (hydrocephalus, neurogenic...

  23. Pediatric Doses Calculations

    nurs4kids replied to willdgate's topic in Pediatric

  24. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    nurs4kids replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    As I said above, my angel is 6yrs old and autistic..probably PDD-NOS (I haven't sought a definitive form of autism since original dx at 3 yrs old). We've not had the problems from the neighbors,...

  25. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    nurs4kids replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    Mom of a awesome 6 yr old with autism here. I think the difference here is that when they are young like ours, it's easier to supervise 24/7. You child-autism-proof the house, you can take five or...
