  3. NG out-what to do?

    This sounds appropriate to me. You would not had wanted the patient to continue gagging while you went to check to attempt to place it back down. You had reasonable expectation that the NG Tube was going to be discontinued due to the patient having a...
  4. Hospitalist CNS?

    Hi! I'm a RN with a little over 2 years of experience, and I'm about one year away from graduating from a RN to BSN program. I have started thinking about going to graduate school. I have mostly Med/Surg experience , and have noted that the Universit...

  12. End of the Nursing Shortage

    I may be wrong, but if I'm correct: This 500,000 number came from the government's nursing population study. It was 500,000 RN with *active* licenses, physically able, that choose not to work in nursing mostly for pay, working conditions, and materni...

  15. Specialty Change Concerns!

    Just voicing about my nerves I'm starting to get worked up about my starting my new job! I took a job at a local hospital to stay close to my mom while she is going through some tough times instead of what appears to be my dream position about an hou...
