   nanacarol replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Relations

   Hi, Nurses or those who seek careers in the helping field tend to give up too easy. We move to the Scriptures, especially the one you quoted. Scripture also indicates that we (believers) have been given the authority to take back what is lawfully our...

3. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

   nanacarol replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

   Shelley1117RN, Please find a friend or go to your local bank for the money for an attorney. Hind sight is always twenty twenty, meaning a nurse should always have his/her own liability insurance. Just so you are aware the cost is a one time yearly de...

4. The Most Beautiful Curls I'd Ever Seen

   nanacarol replied to kessadawn's topic in General Nursing

   As I read the posts from those of you who are new in nursing I am so encouraged that you have "heart" that you have not bought into the lie that a nurse should not feel, should not bond with his or her patients. I am a seasoned nurse, having more tha...

   I grieve with you. NICU may not be your ultimate destination but it could be a starting place, It could be a place of healing and forgiveness, a place where you may be able to give to others. I applaud your contemplation. nanacarol

6. Ethics and Collective Bargaining: Calls to Action

   nanacarol replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Union

   Alright, I give. I can't continue silently while we nurses inadvertently promote what we do as being qualified as being a nurse merely because we have recently been "butt wipers". There is so much more to being a nurse than the "down in the trenches ...

   Hi, I really disagree with the comment that the Med Tech had no responsibility to "report, mention" to the charge nurse that a peer had left the building for several reasons. The first is that the charge nurse is responsible for the work flow related...

   nanacarol replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

   Many of us have been where you are and have learned that even if we are the STAR pupil, even if we have it going on for us, if one of us is lost we all lose. I believe you gave what you thought was the best you had to offer, my concern is that after ...

    nanacarol replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    It is evident to me that you do not embrace the concept of introducing the concept of sharing and caring for each other even as students of nursing. Since I am aware of this disconnect, I enter into an agreement for you and I to agree to disagree. Th...

14. What are the boundaries to help a pt that is not assigned to you?

    nanacarol replied to Nurse523's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you are saying, but I am of the opinion that every nurse would ensure that the issues related to medications and intrusive treatments would be investigated as would any care need before the nurse or other intervening party implemented the...
