1. Needle stick (major angry vent!)

   Sekar replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

   Time to elevate that problem to the next level. You should contact Infection Control or Infectious Medicine. These folks need to talk with this physician since he won't listen you. This is way too serious to just brush off.

2. Taking away your Time and a Half!

   Sekar replied to efy2178's topic in Activism

   Watch out! We have facts posted here! This is intolerable. Who allowed the facts to be posted? Where is the hype? Where is the fear? Where is the propaganda? :chuckle There are the facts folks, read them and be at ease. Your overtime pay is ...

3. "I don't know who to vote for?"

   Sekar replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism

   Test Post, I seem to be having trouble and I want to see if this gets through OK.

4. "I don't know who to vote for?"

   Sekar replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism

   All fecal matter aside, research the issues that are important to you. All of the issues, not just nursing. See which candidate or party best meets your stance on the issues. That should be the candidate you vote for in the upcoming election. You...

5. Taking away your Time and a Half!

   Sekar replied to efy2178's topic in Activism

   Jaaaman, you are wasting your time. You are attempting to clear things up by posting the facts. But, you are quoting facts and the last thing the liberals on this board are interested in is facts. They dress up propaganda, half-truths, and fear as...

6. Army Nurses Face Biggest Battle Of Their Lives In Baghdad

   Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   When I was in the first Gulf War we provided medical care not only to the wounded Americans & Allies, we also provided to the wounded enemy, and the civilians who were wounded by the war (yes, sadly it happens) and those who were brutalized by th...

7. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

   Sekar replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I have to agree with tweety here. A Med-Surg floor, 1 RN, 1 LPN, 1 CNA with 12 patients just doesn't seem to be that big a deal. I've certainly covered far more patients with the same staffing on Med Surg floors. I'd find that a problem in an ICU,...

9. Military nurses, recently become civilian nurses?

   Sekar replied to Ms.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   Why don't you try this one? Go moonlight at some civilian hospitals. Take some leave if you need to, it will be worth the time. Then you will have first hand experience to compare. The extra bucks won't be bad either. Why plan in a vacuum? Don...

12. does managment go to stupid school

    Sekar replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Stupid 101, 102, 110, 111 are required for upper level management these days.

13. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    You've identified the crux of the whole issue. Questionable Conclusions drawn from limited data. Heaven forbid we should draw our conclusions from fully investigated data. Am I to understand that you advocate complete research? What's next, admitt...

14. Military nurses, recently become civilian nurses?

    Sekar replied to Ms.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Having retired from the Army in 1996, as a Nurse, I can tell you that you must be prepared for a very different type of nursing. Your scope of practice in the military is much greater than it will be in the civilian world. But the hardest thing I h...

15. Staffing: Just Licensed Personell or Including Unlicensed Assistive Personell

    Sekar replied to angelicaparki's topic in General Nursing

    Eveyone in the healthcare arena has someone supervising them. RNs may be required to supervise LPNs and make sure that they are doing their duties in an appropriate manner but that same RN has someone who is required to supervise them and make sure ...
