1. Operating Room Nurse: Roles

   shisalion replied to BethCNOR's topic in Operating Room

   Hey Jeff, here's a great "gofer" scenario for you. Female patient, age 60 with diabetes, HTN and CAD that goes in the O.R. for excision of a bladder tumor. The surgeons get in there, lacerate an artery towards the end of the case and the patient comm...

2. Is It Just Me...

   i agree with you ruby!

3. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   shisalion replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   Don't get discouraged by what one academic adviser says. I have a BA, BSN and an MSN so I can say with confidence that academic advisers don't always have the correct information and some of them will tell you things based on their personal interpre...

4. Pick up Malpractice! They went after my license.

   shisalion replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   No, the decent, ethical ones will save my butt. The blood-suckers stick to what they know how to do best.

5. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

   shisalion replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

   You might add in that letter the CNA is practicing medicine without a license. The last time I checked, NP's are licensed to diagnose and treat illness. Impetigo vs. ring worm... big difference. If this brazenly incompetent individual is allowed t...

6. Help! Question for all RN's! ARE NURSES MEAN TO EACHOTHER??

   shisalion replied to AudioGirl's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, nurses can be mean to each other. Women that work in non-medical corporate office settings can be mean and domineering to each other too (worked in an office before working as an RN and witnessed the behaviors firsthand). Graduate from school...

   shisalion replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Malpractice insurance won't save your nursing license. Its purpose is to protect your wallet from the blood-sucking lawyers.

8. Doctor or Nurse Practitioner??

   shisalion replied to curlysin's topic in NP

   In medical school, you learn how to practice medicine. In NP school, you learn a bit about how to practice medicine, but first they torture you with graduate level "Nursing Theory" and "Nursing Research" and other fru-fru classes that have absolutely...

9. Another Five Star Visitor Thread

   shisalion replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I thought we left "client" back in nursing school? CPA's have "clients" and you can find "customers" at Wendy's!

10. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    shisalion replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Unbelievable. NANDA has gone too far with this "nursing diagnosis." It sounds like something from Star Wars or Star Trek. They need to stop this nonsense if nursing as a profession is to retain any dignity or credibility.
