  1. :rotfl: Reminds me of that line in 'Something to Talk About' with Julia Roberts. "I have orgasms everyday! I'm just used to having them when you're not in the room." Back to topic. I don't subscribe to any, because I want to get the most bang fo...
  2. What is Caring to You?

    Everyone associates nursing with caring, but I'm sure you've seen those that just "get by" or don't get involved. I feel that I'm a very caring person, but sometimes you get those patients that make it very difficult. There are so many ways to sho...
  3. Another book question from me!

    I have Carpenito and never use it. My hospital has wonderful careplans all written out (so I just borrow them ).
  4. Student Teaching Presentation

    I had to do one last semester. It was hygiene for 4th graders...including dental, hand, and body (lice and all the goodies). Kids were great.
  5. What is it about Med-Surg?

    Honestly, it just doesn't interest me. I work Med/Tele/Onc, so I get half of it. I would rather do Med than Surg. Just not my thing. Open to anything....except that. :)
  6. pregnancy don'ts

    If my pt is on chemo, I can't take him/her d/t possible contact with the agents. I take MRSA but haven't had any shingles in awhile, so I don't know. The charge nurse always tells us who we can and can't take. Also, no pt getting inpatient radiat...
  7. You may think I'm CRAZY!!!!!!!

    Listen to Rusty.
  8. Careplan help

    There are tons of links on the home page here. Otherwise, just do a search on google for "nursing careplans" or "careplans". Or, do a search here. Many threads on this. Also at the top of the students page is a sticky on links....there are surely...
  9. OMG, you just stole my thoughts. I am planning on delivering at the hospital I work at. After my aweful experience at the other hospital, I wouldn't go back to have a hangnail looked at. But, I feel kind of weird about it. I know some of the OB nu...
  10. Giving pills to a Cat

    Another reason why dogs rock!
  11. FDA news for pregnant women

    This came out too late for my friend, who suffered through her pregnancy with not knowing. She has the implant, through the trials, and has been better, although still having seizures almost daily. She just got a seizure dog...which is great! Thank...
  12. New here, anyone taken the NLN pre rn test?

    I took the NLN (many moons ago) and had to score above the 50th percentile. I got a form in the mail from them that said how I did and how I compared to those in other ADN and BSN programs. Didn't you get that?
  13. New Grad sign-on bonus negotiation

    We've talked about this before here, but do you ever wonder why some places are offering huge sign-ons? Why don't they improve working conditions? They'd have nurses beating down the door! I was offered $10,000 for a three year commitment (tax free...
  14. Questions about isolation patients and procedures..

  15. Nursing and Piercings?

    I think it has a lot to do with it. We have an LPN that has the big 80's hair w/ way too much makeup, and I think she loses a lot of credibility as a nurse. She looks like she belongs on a street corner. You are working with the public, and you'r...
