3. Do crna's wear lab coats?

   RedCell: I am not fearful of your scrubs, but thanks for the concern. I think I said "some" might find it gross; I didn't say I did.

4. Do crna's wear lab coats?

   chgoreid replied to Reminisce's topic in CRNA

   Well, I think running to pick up your son in a hurry is one thing. But wearing the full uniform, hat and all, to a school function after work is a little weird. Not to mention that some would think that its gross. I think it would be easier to jus...

5. Do crna's wear lab coats?

   chgoreid replied to Reminisce's topic in CRNA

   So, along the same lines, are they supposed to wear their scrubs and hats out in public? I'm not talking about around the hospital, I'm talking about out in public at the grocery store, school functions, etc. I've seen it; someone out in full garb,...

   You need to get several people if you can to take him to the ER. If you have more than one person they will be more likely to listen and believe. If he is truely in a manic state, he will not be able to hide how he is acting. They have no control ...

   Why not get a teacher's license? (if you don't already have one) Or go into health education? It is not a lot of money but you may like it. Good luck!

    chgoreid replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in one for 14 years. Some years as a nurse and the rest as a health educator. It is definitely mostly psych nursing. Where I was, there was little medical management. Mostly, med passing or psych/behavioral issues. I think it is good an...

11. what can I say to a family member?

    chgoreid replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric

    I think it is good that you care. And for those that say "just because you cry, you're not a better nurse," I also think that just because you DON"T cry, it doesn't make YOU a better nurse. I would surely want someone to be sensitive to my family ...

12. How to face tomorrow

    chgoreid replied to jnrsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    This is a time when the grapevine could be used to your benefit. I remember when a coworker of mine lost one of her babies and she wanted it to get around before she came back so there would be less questions being asked when she returned. I'm sorr...

15. Some Sonography Help

    chgoreid replied to JamesMC's topic in General Nursing

    I actually considered sonography recently and I would do it except that the closest school is 2 hours away. I say go for it if it is what you want to do. It is definitely different from nursing though. I would agree that your career options are li...
