  1. Can't find a job

  2. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    LovingLife123 replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    I never said nursing owns being exhausted as a profession. But the OP states she hates her job because she's exhausted all the time and hates changing diapers. But yet wants to be a nurse. The OP...

  3. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    LovingLife123 replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok. It's still not an adult shooting liquid, GI bleed stool at your head. People have these assumptions that nurses make sooo much money and they would be willing to put up with whatever for this...

  4. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    LovingLife123 replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    You hate changing diapers and being exhausted all week, but you want to be a nurse? Alrighty then. Let me know how that works out. In your mind adult, liquid poop is better? I'll change my kiddos...

  5. Brightwood college

    LovingLife123 replied to Prissygxo's topic in School, College Programs

    They are not accredited by either. Regional accreditation is about transferring credits. National is about obtaining a job afterwards. Many places require you to have graduated from a school that...

  6. Care Plan Help-Liver Cancer and Cardiogenic shock secondary to SVT.

    LovingLife123 replied to ericamarr's topic in General Students

    OP, what is the priority at this moment? What is going on with the pt right now? While the pt does have a risk for infection, that's not your issue right now. If you had this pt in the ER, what are...

  8. Normal Saline as a flush for PEG

    LovingLife123 replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen it through a PEG, but yes, after a crani, you want to keep sodium levels elevated to prevent swelling. Since this person already has a PEG, where most patients in this situation...

  9. Non productive overtime

    LovingLife123 replied to Minn_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't think of why you would need to come in an hour early to look at charts. Get report, then if you feel you are missing information look at their charts. You shouldn't need to be digging into...

  10. Scared.....No Nursing?

    LovingLife123 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    If you have an abnormal lab result, yes, you should assess that patient before calling the MD. That is kind of important. When calling abnormal labs, have a set of vitals and an assessment of your...

  11. Is this appropriate?

    LovingLife123 replied to SuperMomBob88's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't they just have an automated system call? I'm guessing this is so the employees don't have to come in when the weather is

  12. RN, ADN being obsolete

    LovingLife123 replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    I will tell that advisor they are full of it. I hope they weren't the ones saying the RN licensure was becoming obsolete within two years. It does get misleading thought with every college out...

  13. IM for infants - skin bunch or taut?

    LovingLife123 replied to nursequestions852's topic in General Nursing

    Any IM injection should be taut. I pinch the skin for a subQ injection. I've never seen anything but taut when IM injections were given to my

  14. Accused of not giving dilaudid

    LovingLife123 replied to KMULL002's topic in General Nursing

    Let her complain. You gave it to her. You wasted the remaining. People complain all of the time. This won't be your last complaint. You just need to let this roll off your

  15. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    LovingLife123 replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    I meant to put internal medicine doctor.

  16. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    LovingLife123 replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    So the patient was on your unit with no doctor following, just the surgeon? Am I understanding correctly? That happens all the time, you don't have to have an internal med doc following. You should...

  17. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    LovingLife123 replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Without any details, I don't know if you were in the wrong. Your manager could be trying to keep the peace or you could really be wrong. What policy did they change? That kind of says a lot. You...

    LovingLife123 replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Difficult conversations in the ICU

    LovingLife123 replied to Ddestiny's topic in Critical Care

    People often need time to process the loss. We often trach and PEG even when it's not in the patient's best prognosis. It can often take a family a long period of time to come to grips. Especially...

  20. Sedation Titration

    LovingLife123 replied to arblackburn90's topic in Critical Care

    I feel likes it's something you just kind of learn. You could use the RASS scale with her. My general rule of thumb is if I give 2 bonuses and that's not fixing my sedation issues, I up the...

    LovingLife123 replied to clh8987's topic in General Nursing

    My son gets those drops in his ears. You got look real close at how those are ordered. I don't think it would be a big deal. You won't ever make that mistake again. You did the right thing by...

  22. Lovenox injection

    LovingLife123 replied to Lewis35's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The reason I asked if it was homework is because in the real world, the physician prescribes the amount given and in this case they would just prescribe the 80. I've only had two or three times where...
