1. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

   nadia562002 replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

   could we forego all of that female stuff we must subject ourselves too??? For that time of the year and month, I would rather be a man. Guys only have to drop their drawers every 5 years for a rectal and prostate exam I believe.

2. Nursing License number fraud question

   nadia562002 replied to kelly2u's topic in Washington

   OK. This info is too easily obtained online these days through the department of health. I think the agency involved should be held responsible too for not varifying the information. There is just no excuse.

3. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

   nadia562002 replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

   I hate nursing diagnosis. THe outcomes and goals in those books are just plain stupid and down right lofty. It seems to me that these statements are rather judgemental and or reaching to make more work for the nurse. But I must admit that after all i...

4. How valuable is Report?

   nadia562002 replied to nptobee's topic in General Nursing

   And then you get that patient who does not fit with report at all. THat has happened to me at least a couple of times. You just have to go with what you see before you.

   Thanks for all your advice. So far, I have one job offer on the table and expecting 2 more responses in the next few days. As a point of clarification, I was having some difficulties at work and decided that it would be best to resign from my positio...

   University of Washington Medical Center has self scheduling on most units or all. I am not certain if its on all. I know that we have a NICU anyway. Its a terrific place to work. The other NICU's in the area are at Evergreen hospital in kirkland and ...

7. guidelines question: when LTC and when AL

   nadia562002 replied to DZcarrie's topic in Geriatric

   I worked in an assisted living facility as a nurses aid while I was a student nurse. I found that this facility liked to hang onto to their private pay clients for as long as they could even though that client really belonged in a SNF. If a client is...

   I recently resigned my position in a hospital and now considering a job in LTC. I have one year of experience on a step down tele floor. I am wondering if taking a job in LTC would be to my disadvantage. WIll this decision arbitrarily make it harder ...

9. Why does a hospital need RNs which are unable to do anything else but starting IV's??

   nadia562002 replied to Chuckie's topic in Infusion

   My hospital recently decided to have a back-up IV nurse in place for when the bedside nurse was unsuccessful. I believe it is a dis-service to the nurse to not be allowed to place an IV because a IV team is there to do it. A good nurse should have th...

11. How many deaths have you had on your unit since you started?

    nadia562002 posted a topic in New Nurse

    One of those things I had to mentally prepare myself for before I chose to become a nurse was the potential for death. I know that someone will inevitably die on my watch. We all deal with sick people on a daily basis. On some units, this event happe...

12. conflicting info between docs and patient with varicella

    nadia562002 posted a topic in Disease

    I am a little confused. I had a patient this week who was diagnosed with a case of infectious herpes located on the face and over the body. Apparently it is being shed through the lungs as well. At first, everyone had to wear a regular paper mask, go...

13. Weird Interview!

    nadia562002 replied to JuicyJem's topic in New Nurse

    Your issues with the hospital sound somewhat similar to a situation I had at an interview. I traveled over 2 hours to get there and I am left waiting for at least a half hour because a couple of my classmates were interviewing too. The excuse was tha...

14. patients who think that nurses should become doctors too

    nadia562002 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had one of those patients recently who seems to think that being a nurse is to be a place where you stop along the way toward becoming a doctor. Of course he does not understand the concept that I chose to become a nurse and not a doctor. Doctors a...

15. IS anyone acting as a charge nurse yet

    nadia562002 replied to peaceful2100's topic in New Nurse

    Dont do it. Its not good for you or anyone. I dont care how short staffed they are. There should be plenty of other far more qualified nurses around, like other parts of the hospital and other towns. Just dont let them talk you into it.
