   I am doing a paper on why it would be beneficial to have open visiting hours in the ICU/CCU. Just wondered if anyone had read any good articles or had any thoughts on the subject, pro or con. Thanks!

   quote: thirdshiftguy: I think in the publics eye nursing is still an honorable and trustworthy profession. It's attitude more than anything that ruins our "image" in the public's eye (not that I agree it's ruined). I agree with you. For one, I lov...

3. Is Health Care a Right?

4. Who needs to sleep

   Casey7 replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

   When I am able to get sleep, I sleep a lot and late late. But I have been known to go for three-four days with 0 hours of sleep and function just fine (3rd shift work) You do what you gotta do:D

6. Should Nurses attend patient funerals

   Casey7 replied to Hayden's topic in General Nursing

   I think that it shows great respect to attend the funeral. If the family sees that you cared enough about their loved one to take time out of your busy schedule to come and see them, it will make them feel a bit better about their loved one's last d...

7. CNA Anyone?

   Casey7 replied to nrs2bme's topic in General Nursing

   I am a CNA 1 and after this semester a CNA 2. It is a wonderful way to get introduced into the world of Nursing and see if that is what you want to do. It is what made me decide to go back to Nursing School (which I am currently in). You do all th...

9. Does working as a cna before becoming an rn make you a better rn?

   Casey7 replied to reddgott's topic in General Nursing

   It was working as a CNA at a nursing home that made me want to become a Nurse. I was planning to just leave it at that, and then I just loved talking to people (although I got so many bruises and aches and pains from so much physical labor) that I h...

10. would you cross a picket line????

    Casey7 replied to slinkeecat's topic in Activism

    I would have to find out exactly what the strike was about. If it was something I agreed with and/or felt strongly about, then no I could not cross a picket line. But if the people were striking something I did not think was especially important, t...

11. Fess up! How are you as a patient!

    Casey7 replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Terrible, because I ask two thousand questions, expect them to know the answers, and make them work, because when anyone else is at work, they have to do it.

14. A&PII and microbiology?

    Casey7 replied to hanginginthere's topic in General Students

    Take them!!! It will be super tough, but you want to go ahead and get them done. I just finished up with A&PII, Micro, Nutrition, Med Term (ok, so that's not bad) and Nursing 110, and it can be done :) You can do it. And the sooner that is ov...
