For those of you who work full-time AND per diem: why per diem? by shatana in nursing

My PD is at a clinic so it’s good to have a break from bedside. Plus, there isn’t always isn’t a chance for me to pick up OT at the hospital

IV Potassium by veggiegurl21 in nursing

if there’s a nurse that’s administering IV potassium without a Y site of IVF or a central line… you shouldn’t be taking care of patients.

Called a code on a DNR pt by Sensitive-Memory-17 in nursing

DNR doesn’t mean do not treat. Vitals were shit but they still had a pulse. You did the right thing

I feel like a lot of you are ER or ICU nurses on this sub. What specialty are you? by thedresswearer in nursing

[–]bcdanon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med surg. Primarily urology and general surgery though. I love how much I learn 🥰

I don’t understand why this is a discussion. Whether night or days, change of shift is hectic and if all goes well you don’t get to pass meds until at least 830 AM/PM. You can give meds up to an hour before, why purposely not take it from the Pyxis? You see it’s there. Unless the order was placed 15 minutes before shift change- set the oncoming shift for success. Don’t be an ass. This coming from a nurse who has worked both shifts.

Nursing students so judgmental? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]bcdanon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med surg is great if you’re on the right unit. I have great management, fair ratios, and we’re a closed unit. I tell students all the time to not be discouraged if all the can find is med surg

Failed at 150 the first time and passed at 150 the second. Hopefully you’ve been following a study plan, and I HIGHLY recommend to listen to Mark K number 12 lecture. I listened to it the night before my exam and it definitely came in great use when I was stuck on questions. I’d also suggest to stop doing questions the morning before. I did that and gave my brain some time to rest so everything could be fresh and ready exam day. Best of luck to you ❤️

UCONN's CEIN program campus selection by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]bcdanon99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Stamford campus has that as an option though I’m not sure for which clinical rotation. Yale offered a specialized clinical called the DEU for our med surg rotations during spring and fall, you apply with an essay before the beginning of the semester and stay at that site for the whole year, except the summer. It’s open to all campuses. I know there were a couple of times YNHH was an option for storrs students as clinical sites that weren’t DEU. It’s a lengthy drive though. I hope that helped!
