   My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

   dexilna replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   You are out of line, and it is not your place to "decide" for another person what their gender identity is. Furthermore, that study you referenced was not revised due to not being "affirming." Due to "questions raised about research design and data c...

   Flushing tubing after IV ATB administration

   dexilna replied to dexilna's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everyone!! I was talking specifically about a primary intermittent ATB, so it sound like the consensus is spiking another small bag and flushing the 25-28 mL line. And just to chip in to prior statements, even in an adult, leaving potentially ...

   Flushing tubing after IV ATB administration

   dexilna posted a topic in General Nursing

   Good early morning Hivemind! We’re working in a new IV ATB policy to avoid under administration during therapy. To those of you who are already at this point, how do you do it in your location? Do you administer the ATB, and then spike another 50mL b...

   RN school while in High School?

   dexilna replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

   Why are we so ok with giving an 18y/o a gun and sending them off to murder in wars, but when it comes to saving others lives suddenly they're too young? I'm kind of disgusted that we would sooner be ok with raising murderers than with healers... If t...

   Hate night shifts

   dexilna replied to RN&RDH's topic in General Nursing

   RN&RDH, I feel for you. I truly do. I absolutely hate working nights, and am fortunate enough to have powered through this past year, and am really looking forward to stating days soon (fortunately on my same floor)! I chose not to change jobs to...

   It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

   dexilna replied to EGspirit's topic in Relations

   So just accept the status quo, don't ruffle feathers, and leave your opinion/personality at the door? No thank you.

   NOC Shift & Your Health

   dexilna replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Nursing

   I've been working nights for a few months now and I give major props to anyone who prefers nights. I love my co-workers and the flow of the shift, but I am not built for this and am eager for my switch to days when possible. That said, I read an arti...

   Why do We eat our young?

   dexilna replied to nellie272003's topic in Relations

   I was kind of nervous going into my new hospital position due to all you hear about this subject. I was very glad to find its not the case on my unit (at least not my shift).

   My inner snowflake

   dexilna replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   The classist undertones of OP's post is kind of nauseating. Just because a person has a "blue collar" job, doesn't mean they're automatically loud, rowdy, and obnoxious. Some of the rudest, most vulgar people I've met are your "white collar" suits...

    LPN Prereqs

    dexilna replied to Darius93's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Most programs i know of require CNA cert as a pre-req. That being said, there are many places which offer fast track CNA classes. My class was only 4 weeks or so, and my sister in law did a 2 week course. We're in Iowa, but i would think other States...

    LPN Prereqs

    dexilna replied to Darius93's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi Darius! I've got one class left, then I'll be sitting the NCLEX-PN this summer. The classes my program required for entry was my CNA (of course), a math course (several are accepted), and A&P1. We were required to have Nutrition, Medical Term...
