   Khaan replied to Nishas22's topic in SRNA

   I'd love a copy of the USUHS pharm handbook as well if you're still around. Please, thank you, you're wonderful! [email protected]

2. Littman Cardiology IV or Classic III for nursing student?

   Khaan replied to fiddlestix327's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Littmann Cardio. I've tried littmann classics and also compared Welch Allyn Harvey Elite. I like the cardiology the best because of the dual head; however, the Harvey is superior to picking up tonal differences than the tunable diaphragm of the cardi...

3. Are you about to graduate?

   Khaan replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Students

   I don't understand how you feel. I'm eager to be working as an RN, but I'm working 24 hours per week in a CCU doing the same thing, just not making money. I'm happy and not anxious at all. Maybe take a breath and relax. Enjoy what you're doing now.

4. Name one of your favorite things about being a male nurse.

   Khaan replied to DatMurse's topic in Men

   Wow, this makes me sad. I have trouble relating to other guys well, yet everyone else does

5. What are you bringing to work?

   Khaan replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Forgot to mention peppermint oil to put under my nose / dab on mask for smells.

6. Dressy, Comfortable Work Shoes

   Khaan replied to BeenThereDoneThat74's topic in Uniform/Gear

   ECCO Loafers in black. Feel like slippers. Look like business casual.

7. What are you bringing to work?

   Khaan replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Figs Scrubs (not the cargo pants. I hate cargo pants cause the stuff in the pockets swings around). ECCO Loafers (think wearing pajamas to work is fun? Try wearing shoes that feel like slippers and look professional at the same time) Glasses Backup S...

8. Why the double standard.

   Khaan replied to RN2364's topic in Men

   This. I like doing all my own procedures, regardless if male or female. I'd ask a female RN or CNA to observe, and perhaps assist, in a procedure, as long as the patient is comfortable with it. What I'm not okay with is someone assuming I shouldn't e...

9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

   Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

   You're right. I hope that's not the reason. There's a lot of fantastic nurses in my unit that are overweight. I hate seeing the struggle they have to practice.

10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

    I can understand not wanting to hire overweight nurses. Your body burns out fast if you're fat, and nursing is a very physically demanding job. I see so many fat nurses who suffer on the job, and then have issues even coming in.

11. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Khaan replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Whether it should or not is one thing. The reality is, I believe many people will take other healthcare workers less seriously. I don't believe obesity correlates with poor clinician skills, but you see the point. We should do a research study to see...

12. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in CRNA

    A summary of the first part of Watchful Care. It really is science and art. It takes finesse. This was moreso true when all they had was ether and precordial auscultation to titrate their anesthetic. There was this complicated issue through the early...

13. Would you report this error?

    Khaan replied to caffeinatednurse's topic in Safety

    Yes, especially because it involves narcotics. It needs to be solved.

14. Avoiding versed?

    Khaan replied to offlabel's topic in CRNA

    Versed just sucks for older individuals period. If they aren't anxious after a good bedside talk, why not?

15. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in CRNA

    I agree. I've shadowed some CRNAs and MDAs and they just shrug at the notion of "turf." Who cares. As long as everyone gets respect & paid and the patient has better care.
