   Unsafe situation LTC

   Duranie replied to Nik6lpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   It's actually a good idea, Tenebrae. Unfortunately, it will only be effective if every "carer" follows thru on the reports. It needs to be any staff who is interacting with the patient when an incident occurs from lowly 😉 patient techs to LVN's &...

   RN school while in High School?

   Duranie replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

   These aren’t run-of-the-mill high schoolers. To succeed in the kind of program that I’m familiar with, these students are driven, ambitious, and extremely smart. They have time-management skills that some experienced nurses would envy. I was in a Vo...

   RN school while in High School?

   Duranie replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

   I know there are programs in AZ that in cooperation with the Community college students can graduate from high school with only one year left to get their Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. The way that there is room in the high school curricu...

   How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

   Duranie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree with allowing individual states to determine how to implement any sort of socialized medical insurance. A big part of the “appeal” of coverage-for-all plans is that, indeed, everyone is covered for all of their medical needs in the same w...

   Black scrubs—help!

   Duranie replied to T-Bird78's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Yeah, try some of the other dandruff shampoos our there, and make sure you are actually getting it on your scalp... either use your fingers to dab it around your entire hairline and several places on the rest of your head at the roots, or use a bottl...

   Cardiology IV

   Duranie replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Uniform/Gear

   They do ?... so make it a habit right from the start— you do not loan your stethoscope to anyone. Period. Make up a little white lie if you must?: “ I had such a hard time adjusting the angle of the earpieces, and if they are moved even the tiniest b...

   Duranie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Related to anyone in the hospital? With how big Vanderbilt is, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was.... Now if you mean related to someone in Administration? That’s a different question..... I’ve not seen so much as a rumor that she was..... I’m sure b...

    Parents keep medicating their febrile kids in the morning

    Duranie replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yes, sometimes it is the records kept by the heath office on the ff kiddos that really help the doc figure out what’s up. If not for the log of sometimes daily temps on my son, we wouldn’t have had such a clear picture of what was happening. It was a...

    Sexual Assault Exams

    Duranie replied to Peach4Peace's topic in Emergency

    Well, unless he knows of another nurse in the dept. who is a rape survivor who ended up being required by management to perform SARS exams after they voiced concerns similar to yours — then I’d say he’s talking out of his sphincter... ‘Go speak to th...

    Breaking New Grad Contract

    Duranie replied to Nursenursexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    Letting them know that you’re moving to be with your fiancé (especially since you can prove his out-of-state job started after your contract began) might make a difference in whether they’ll hold you to the penalty.

    Has this happened to you?

    Duranie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Didn’t look at the link yet... (I hate reading Wikipedia on my phone.) but what you described re: the dancing is known as muscle memory... it’s also behind the concept of never forgetting how to ride a bike.
