  1. Smoking at Work.

    You can do what you want, but if this person is making you take breaks at the same time as them and you don't want to, then don't. I smoked for 15 years and have been quit (completely) for about 7. I would encourage her to quit, and only take break...
  2. Anyone try the P90X Exercise Plan?

    I just started P90X on monday. I wanted to get in shape because all the college classes and studying etc. have contributed to me gaining weight. I haven't been working my usual construction job either, so even trying to cut calories hasn't helped. ...
  3. Should I be a Nurse??

    Off the subject a little, but I was just curious. Do you administer the contrast fluid before a ct in your hospital, or does a nurse do it?
  4. A doctor helps children change their gender

    Another way to make money off of confused/unsure children in my opinion. But I guess if their parents and family support their decision it is their (ed. THE PATIENT'S) decision to make.
  5. What/Who is Healthcare United?

    I you look in the bottom right-hand corner, it says it is a SEIU organization.
  6. Anesthesia and seizures

    look up the type of drugs the anesthesiologist was using. many of them can cause an excited (muscular excitement) state when a younger patient is first induced. It is more common in younger patients from what I remember when looking up several medi...
  7. Class of .........

    If all goes well the class of spring 2009 ADN
  8. They can't outsource to another country, they just bypass normal imigration and bring them here several hundred thousand a year from other countries to keep the wages low. Supply and demand of workers you know.
  9. Nurses have a 'need to know' outcomes!!!

    Why can't they follow someone's treatment to see the outcome of interventions, doctors, medications, etc. It would give them the "evidence" in their supposed "evidence based" practice. Why would you have to have a name attached to them. Just a dx ...
  10. The reason why they are importing nurses, is to keep wages low. They can't outsource and move the jobs to another country, so they bring the country here. They have been doing the same thing in construction for years. I never worked with anyone wh...
  11. I was a: Paperboy Line Cook (at several restaurants) Masonry hod-tender Mason (for 15 years) Had a surgery and decided I wanted to help people instead of build buildings. Now a Nursing Student. . . starting second semester next month. I hope to get a...
  12. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    I had a nurse do that to me when I was younger, and I know 2 of my friends from school have too. I think it was taught to nurses in the "old days". Yeah, it hurts. Hurts your genitals, and your dignity. I don't think anyone would do it in this da...
  13. Relationship based care/Playing the game

    Maybe they could show "wayne's world" on the t.v. all day. Wayne's world, party on, Excellent! Or you could just tell them (if they are nice) if they promise right down excellent on the survey you will give them excellent care. Why don't they give us...
  14. Who took the NURSE out of Nursing?

    I think this is a problem with younger people in general. I have seen it in my construction trade. All the younger workers work less and get paid more, far more than what I did when I was younger (and I worked twice as hard). I have seen people who r...
  15. I'm not a nurse yet, just a first semester student. My clinical instructor said she would not want any student to graduate unless they stood up for the nursing profession as a profession. She is nice as can be and tough as h*ll, a NP with years of ...
