  1. Central Lines in Burn Patients

    Leadkrm replied to Loloberry's topic in Burn

    I know this is an old thread, but I figured I would chime in on what we do on large TBSA burn patients on my unit. We do central lines either in the upper arm or IJ. They are sutured in place and our...

    No worries. If you want to send me a message I’ll get you some info. I recommend doing supplemental hours instead of part time or full time. It’s a bit more manageable with the school schedule....

  5. Starting out in the burn icu

    Leadkrm posted a topic in Burn

    Hello everyone, I am a new grad RN. I was a tech in the hospital I put in all my applications at. I only really wanted to work on the burn unit and it was taking a while for them to contact me. I...

  6. Starting out in the burn icu

    Leadkrm replied to Leadkrm's topic in Burn

    It’s not so bad so far. I’m gaining knowledge and techniques. The smells and visuals don’t bother me. It’s the crying and screaming. I have a good structure to lean on. I’m happy where I am

    Leadkrm replied to Leadkrm's topic in Burn

    I have to be honest. The learning curve is steep. I’m getting in a decent groove with the easier patients. I still struggle with time management. I still have a large amount to learn. It will get...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    It does tend to feel that way. Just remember that school is only preparing you for the NCLEX. When you start work, don’t be disheartened when/if it feels as though you know nothing. It felt like...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    It is hard. I’m doing decently at work, but there are a lot of things that school won’t prepare you for. Hang in there and get into the program. I would say that work is scary right now and I am...

    It’s going well for me so far as well. I don’t think I’m struggling as much as I initially thought. I’m starting my 4th week on orientation and I’ve done a lot. Helped with 4 intubations....

  18. Grades when you were in Nursing School

    Leadkrm replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    I started out overzealous. Always a straight A student. I’ve said many times before. Nursing school isn’t hard because of the material that you have to learn, but how much you have to cover. I...

    Gpa is a factor after you get in. It could be a factor if there were multiple students with the same application score on the cut off line. Same score higher gpa would get in the last

  20. When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    Leadkrm replied to OldDude's topic in Men in Nursing

    I get the,” lets get to it ladies!” At team meetings. My patients parents will mistake me for a Dr. often. When I get young female patients and I introduced myself, most exclaim, “ What? Boy are...

    Leadkrm replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    I have been offered every position I have ever interviewed for regardless of the field. I answer what they ask, but I add personal spin to it in order to get the manager to bite and show their...

    Leadkrm replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I have a great collection of Power Rangers memorabilia. I have re watched many of the season of the show. They are all very corny and I think that it’s part of their charm. In my opinion, they are...
