1. A Nurse's Hands

   nor902 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   Beautiful memory filled article. I have been retired for a number of years myself! Viva have you ever considered writing professionally and publishing your work? Your stories are wonderful.

2. Are you expected to work on a unit you haven't oriented to?

   nor902 replied to lorichka6's topic in General Nursing

   I worked on a surgical GYN/Oncology floor. We had to float someone every evening. No matter where we floated it seemed that we were given the worst of the worst patients. What was especially difficult was the nursing staff! They were by no means help...

3. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

   nor902 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   1)__ Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? Yes, I get the vaccine yearly. 2)__ Does your employer have a mandatory influenza vaccination pol...

5. Need help with graduation gift idea for new RN grad

   nor902 replied to Windynurse's topic in General Nursing

6. What is the freaking deal with OB?

   nor902 replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

   I agree totally! When I did my OB rotation it was so bad I knew I did not want to go home every day with the sadness that occurs there! Only one out of 6 births I assisted at ended happily.

7. Time To Start That Final Trip To The Locker Room?

   nor902 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

   That is very comforting to hear that your organization supports older folks. I wish that other organizations would have the same opinion. It feels like we have a "use by date" stamped on our heads! Hats off to your hospital!

8. Prior history of verbal abuse

   nor902 replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Students

   Have you ever discussed this abusive behavior with the instructor? I assume you are paying a lot of money for this education in nursing not abuse. She needs to be held accountable by some higher up. Do you have a preceptor? If so he, she might be abl...

9. allnurses Ebola Preparedness Survey Makes the News.

   nor902 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in COVID

   I think each city should have a protocol and stockpile of necessary supplies and go to person. In our city we have 3 large hospitals plus a VA. I think that only 1 should be designated to receive these patients (hopefully it will not come to that) wi...

10. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    nor902 replied to Blue Roses's topic in COVID

    I think this Texas Hospital has more issues they need to take care. Shame on them for allowing this nurse and Duncans info splashed all over the news. Blaming the said nurse for breach of protocol without full investigation of the actual facts. Sendi...

11. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    nor902 replied to luv2's topic in COVID

    I wish someone would tell me what happened to patient confidentally? How is the hospital, CDC and media even identifying and discussing her or any patient for that matter. My prayers and thoughts are with thes nurses.

14. Don't You Just Love It?

    nor902 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Critical thinking is not something you can teach. Critical thinking emerges by experience, If you are not able to do med conversions than you should not be allowed to progress in you program until you can. When I went to Nursing School the first sem...

15. How do you feel about mandatory influenza vaccines?

    nor902 replied to ashleybrooke1208's topic in COVID

    I agree that nurses should get the flu vaccine. I previously worked on an oncology unit with in house chemo. Do you realize what it is like for them to get the flu? Their immune systems are zilch. There are also other debilitated patients in the hosp...
