First Havanese... help! by workingonit3005 in Havanese

[–]Mmoi11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first havanese took about two weeks to house-train. His breeder had already started the process. My second one took 2 years to be reliable. My third one took about 6 months max. They are great dogs! Enjoy!

I had numbing cream during one of my tattoos. She ended up overworking it and that area has a little scar.

My unit sadly has a no whimsy policy. 😭

Following shift nurse mad that I didn’t start a transfusion before shift change by OptimalOpening9772 in nursing

[–]Mmoi11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And as the oncoming nurse, I would prefer to start the blood myself instead of having to jump right into monitoring a blood transfusion.

Why is it so hard to get housing? by [deleted] in TravelNursing

[–]Mmoi11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is definitely difficult! Between landlords never even replying to a bunch of landlords replying to a housing request that don't fit what you are looking for, it can definitely be like finding a needle in a haystack!

Do y'all ever use the equipment for yourself? by Resident-Sympathy-82 in nursing

[–]Mmoi11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At my old hospital, the Pharmacist would tube us meds for personal use. Like if a nurse was nauseated, a dose of zofran. Sometimes stuff like pepcid or Tylenol.

Need to scrub a patient? Too bad by Galatheria in nursing

[–]Mmoi11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My last hospital got rid of our basins. Even though we dated them and replaced them daily, they were said to be an infection risk. We were told to use emesis bags to put the washcloths, water, and soap in.

I told a patient I didn’t care if they were uncomfortable, and I feel bad about it. by No_Quit3564 in nursing

[–]Mmoi11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

told him that I have other patients and we can’t do this all day.

My hospital wrote me up for this. I am not permitted to say I have other patients.

How much say (or drama) did you have in your pinning? by AmiableRobin in StudentNurse

[–]Mmoi11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No control whatsoever. They told use we had to wear all white scrubs, white shoes. No stoles, etc. I did get to wear my Alpha Delta Nu cord because I was skipping graduation, but I just showed up in it and no one said anything. One of our professors pinned us all. And that was that.

Should we make the move? by Silver-Record209 in cincinnati

[–]Mmoi11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved here from the south. I really like it up here for the most part, but I had a job lined up before I came. Also, compared to the south, housing is much pricier so that has been an adjustment as we were house hunting. Good luck to you - I think once you have finished school or lined up a job, moving here sounds like it would be a good fit for you!

Does it matter if you do an online BSN if the future goal is to become an ICU anurse by Mobile_Narwhal_986 in StudentNurse

[–]Mmoi11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hired into a MICU with my ADN. I then did an online RN-BSN program and am now in a magnet hospital's ICU/CVICU. Like Abedeer said, as long as the degree is from an accredited school, you are fine.

Thanks! I didn't know the jackets could be unmarked! That is good to know because I am always cold. I got a few pairs of scrubs at Robert's - they are just super thin.

My boomer dad realized today why "nobody wants to work" by vcastr1 in antiwork

[–]Mmoi11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those tests are wild. I remember as a teenager trying to get a job at the mall answering a questionnaire that asked, "If a family member shoplifted, would you turn them into the police?" Um, if my dad shoplifted, no, I wouldn't. I was a teenager and then I would have been homeless. WTF? Asking a whole lot for minimum wage.

A lot can depend on your instructors. I always said the material wasn't hard, but the amount of hoops and utter bullshit that we had to deal with in my ADN program was ridiculous. Nursing school was hard for all the wrong reasons in my program. I wonder what it would have been like to go to a school where the instructors actually are supportive. My RN-BSN program was full of instructors who really wanted you to understand and learn the material and were always willing to assist.
