   PCT question

   Flightline replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

   Congratulations on entering the nursing field. So, will you be a Certified Nurse Aid? The largest hospital in my area only hires PCT. They don't hire CNAs. They train them like a CNA, but they don't...

   HELP!! solve math problem

   Flightline replied to GipsGrl's topic in General Nursing

   I have no doubt given some of the asinine questions our instructors came up with when I was in nursing school that this is indeed how the question was written, and the correct response is probably...

   An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

   Flightline replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   My mission is not to convert you to Christ. My mission, if I have one, is to show people how to love nursing and be happy doing it. Like Tweety said below, and I agree, I don't think the owner would...

   I agree, a person either loves it or should leave it. But how does one come to love

   An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

   Flightline replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   But that's what atheism is: it's willfull ignorance. It has to be. Any armchair philospher will come to the conclusion that there is at least some kind of God of the universe. Then, anyone with a New...

   An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

   Flightline replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   OK, so it seems the TOS are quite clear on that. Sorry for my faux pax, or forepaw, or whatever. My link is in my personal information area, and I suppose that's where it belongs. Nevertheless, I'm a...

   HELP!! solve math problem

   Flightline replied to GipsGrl's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, but look at what you just wrote. Where did the "minutes" ever come into play? There's no time parameter in the question. The question asks how many mg/h, it doesn't say how many hours or parts...

   An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

   Flightline replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't know that. But don't you think "reporting" me is kind of childish? How else am I supposed to let people know? I guess I could just say I have a blog, and then people will go to my info and...

   An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

   Flightline replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry, but since we are all bearing our souls here, so to speak, I think atheists are simply ignorant--willfully ignorant, but so long as they do the job, their ignorance is of no consequence. I...

    HELP!! solve math problem

    Flightline replied to GipsGrl's topic in General Nursing

    There is no working of this problem. It doesn't matter whether or not you add 4ml to 50 or how many mg/ml you end up with. The question, which you say is stated correctly, asks you to calculate mg/h...

    Toxic Healthcare Personalities

    Flightline replied to Flightline's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, or the help hypocrite: "Can I help you with anything," they are always asking, but if you actually say, yes, they get an attitude. They just want to be seen as helpful, they don't want to...

    Toxic Healthcare Personalities

    Flightline replied to Flightline's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is interesting. Can you elaborate? I had an incident once where I was in the right, but the only one who was a wittness to it didn't want to get involved. It is true though that those negative...

    My preceptor is driving me nuts!!

    Flightline replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

    I suck as a preceptor. I tend to work at a fast pace, and having a fondness for math, I tend to see everything as either factored or not factored, that is, either efficiently done or not efficiently...

    OK, I'm not saying this is you. But what you said here at the end is one of the things, I must say that grates on the last nerve ending the lidocaine couldn't get to: The Defender! This is the person...
