  1. Asked to Write a Formal Explanation

    LovingLife123 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

  2. Strange HTN case

    LovingLife123 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    But what promoted this icu nurse with no history to check their BP in both arms? My immediate thought was dissection. I was also wanting to see what other symptoms the pt was having to prompt them to...

  3. Coronavirus (COVID-19): We Want to Hear from You

    LovingLife123 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just found out there may be a local case here. This will be interesting as they have told pregnant workers to stay home. It’s not my particular hospital, but the one actually in my neighborhood....

  4. Strange HTN case

    LovingLife123 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    So, my question is, why did they initially come in? And did they do an

  5. When to call doctor about pvc’s?

    LovingLife123 replied to Alinaa's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. What does their K and Mg look like? Do those need treated first? Have they been treated and are you still having them? I don’t get too excited about PVCs because it’s usually...

  6. How hard is bedside nursing on the body?

    LovingLife123 replied to starter12345's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is very hard on the body, but any size female can do it. I’m not the tallest person in the world, but I can perform my

    LovingLife123 replied to PremmieRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Advice for a future Trauma ICU student nurse :)

    LovingLife123 replied to maddyl's topic in Critical Care

    You will see a variety of things in a Trauma ICU. Most of your patients though will be by far elderly falls. Most are on blood thinners and have complications from that. You will see a lot of...

  9. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    LovingLife123 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    So, are you saying age discrimination doesn’t exist, or the OP should pretend it doesn’t exist? The fact of the matter is, it does exist. We all know it does. The OP wants a job. She...

  10. Save your back, do powerlifting

    LovingLife123 replied to JackdLPN's topic in General Nursing

    A little full of ourselves, are we,

  11. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    LovingLife123 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    I have a legitimate question for you. Did you not think age would be an issue for you when you decided to become a nurse later in life? The thought had to cross your mind. I had a woman in her late...

  12. TikTok Nurses Drama

    LovingLife123 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    What the heck is a nurse influencer? And what is TikTok? People seriously need to get a grip If this is causing them

  13. Pregnant RN working in LTC

    LovingLife123 replied to hapham3693's topic in General Nursing

    What are your fears? Lots and lots of nurses get pregnant and still work. Many work up until delivery. Pregnant women all the time lift and walk a lot. The only thing I ever worried about were if...

  14. The ICU sucks sometimes

    LovingLife123 replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I’d say no to rotating shifts. That’s not good for a person mentally. It either needs to be straight nights or straight days. Yes, icu can suck. Especially Neuro. These people often have...

  15. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    LovingLife123 replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    What is a CST? Is it a

  16. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

    LovingLife123 replied to Not"Nursey"'s topic in General Nursing

    But would you have not had an EVD initially? And maybe I’m not fully understanding your patient population and the determination for a lumbar drain. My patients are acute Neuro patients. We have...

  17. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

    LovingLife123 replied to Not"Nursey"'s topic in General Nursing

    Why are you using a lumbar drain to determine a VP shunt and not an

  18. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    LovingLife123 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not understanding. You would like me to explain how an ISTAT gives better patient outcomes? Do you work at a hospital that has a phlebotomy team who comes in and draws labs? Is that what your...

  19. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    LovingLife123 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    Again, you are missing the point of what an ISTAT is for. Not all STAT labs go on the ISTAT. It’s when you need immediate results. The lab is not immediate. I’m sure for many situations in the...

  20. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    LovingLife123 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    But the lab takes so long. When you need a stat result, you have one quickly. The lab can take an entire hour to result a STAT lab. It took them 7 hours to result a routine potassium lab for me the...

  21. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    LovingLife123 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    I’m confused. I-STATs are very easy. It’s not the future, it’s the present. It’s not time consuming. I put my blood in and go do other things while I wait for results. 2 minutes is not

  22. Dobhoff med administration conundrum

    LovingLife123 replied to Careuhhline's topic in General Nursing

    There should be a connector called a Lopez valve. That’s how you push meds through

  23. Holding ATT for not attending ATI review

    LovingLife123 replied to Era Toland's topic in General Students

    Yes, they can. My school required it. We all have life things to do. But if you want to be a nurse, I would do

  24. All these nurses writing articles

    LovingLife123 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    It shocks me on here that many of you think things that I mentioned are hospital policy and not joint commission. I’ve been through surveys, I’ve been through our certifications. I know what is...

  25. All these nurses writing articles

    LovingLife123 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    We got our accreditation to be a Comprehensive Stroke Center a whole back. We were certified by JHACO so yes, many of these things are coming from them. You are missing my point. You can be a...
