  1. Enjoy your work..... play often. I know most came here to earn money so they can send some to their families back home. But don't forget to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Do the things you weren't able to do back home, buy things that you like with ...
  2. any nurse practitioner here in the Phils?

    I think it depends. The nurses that I work with, work nights if you count the differential and the years of experience they have.. it might be more than what they will make as NPs
  3. how did you learn to deal with blood, et. al.?

    Goodluck! I remembered when I worked with the big people (ie, adults) I used to gown up, double glove and wear a mask when I had to perform a "code brown"... talk about contact precautions, huh?! :chuckle
  4. any nurse practitioner here in the Phils?

    Hi I'm not a nurse practitioner, but work with some and have (still am) been considering going back to school for one. A nurse practitioner degree can be obtained by going back to school for 2+ years and applying depending on which specialty you want...
  5. i need help in choosing my nursing research topic

    I am currently doing research on End of life care and cultural sensitivity and how nurses can provide culturally sensitive care here in the Neonatal ICU. Some of the researches that I have looked at are accuracy of pain assessments in non-verbal pati...
  6. My so called OR life

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience, and here I am complaining that I had to work a 12 hour night shift. I hope that you get paid for all your overtimes and for carrying the slack that your other co-workers have left behind. One question, does yo...
  7. Is the Grass Really Greener Stateside? Honestly.

    The grass is ALWAYS greener at the other side of the fence. We always want what we can't have and when we obtain it, we want more. It's human nature. I have never worked in the Philippines as a nurse, but grew up and still have family there. In other...
  8. how did you learn to deal with blood, et. al.?

    Blood is easier to deal with compared to other fluids, i think. With body fluids and blood, tissue, bone, and/or fat that are exposed (wait until you take care of patients with decubitus ulcers) when I'm looking at a wound or whatever it is, I don't ...
  9. Sticking 'Em the First Time

    1) pick the lesser of two evils. you can put that iv or listen to your doctor's and oncoming nurse's loud, shouting voice and causing harm to your patient because you didn't put that iv so he can get his iv meds. 2) explain what you're going to do a...
  10. too old to be a nurse....

    Never too old to be a new nurse. I went to nursing school with 3 -40 yr olds and they had old careers before they jumped into nursing. Plus, I work with nurses who have been in nursing for a while and they're like wine. Aged to perfection :) Some of ...
  11. Sorry that I have to be so blunt about this issue

    John, I know you meant well, however I feel like you didn't have to apologize or even ask for mercy for the sake of others. You didn't do anything wrong. I don't think anyone did anything wrong, it's all miscommunication and it happens in everyday li...
  12. Sorry that I have to be so blunt about this issue

    I've seen issues with online conversations a million times: miscommunication. Yes, the internet is a good way to communicate but it's not the best way. I've learned not to take everything too seriously and don't see it as an attack to you or the grou...
  13. Any information on Foster City?

    Are you talking about the Foster City in the bay area?? If you are I live pretty close (Palo Alto). It's a nice area, windy at times especially if you live close to the bridge (San Mateo Bridge). Housing is slightly expensive compared to neighboring ...
  14. Very Low Self Esteem

    Hi beautifullady, I'm sorry to hear the news, but hang in there! You're not the only one who has experienced this, a lot of nurses have and believe me, you will pull through! Check this site out, http://caring4you.net/advice.html I understand that y...
  15. book for leisure time?

    One more, My sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult is a very good one. It's fiction but it deals with the ethical issues of "cloning" and selective conception. A young girl was conceived for the purpose of having to donate blood for her sister with cancer ...
