2. Would you report possible diversion?

   srerrn2 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   i asume you are being sarcastic. Otherwise you have a really F'ed up code of ethics and I hope you do not work in healthcare in any capacity.

3. nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

   srerrn2 replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Just a quick reply to CeilingCat: First, congratulations on your graduation:yeah:. As you enter the exciting, frustrating, rewarding(I could list many adjectives)world of registered nursing you will have many questions. Hopefully, you will have quest...

4. Medical words that make you cringe.

   srerrn2 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

   OHHH, there are two words right here besides the obvious one...sputum, which seems to gross out most nurses. I have alway hated the word purulent. It just makes me want to gag!!! Also, the word fecal. Just sounds gross even if you don't know what...

5. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

   srerrn2 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't want to discourage anyone from posting on this site but your answer really does not make much sense. To compare smokers/non-smokers to slaves/white people is strange. Also to compare the smell of smoke to the smell on someone after using pu...

6. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

   srerrn2 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have to agree with the other responders. Try to get all that judgemental attitude out of your system BEFORE you become a nurse. Otherwise, how are you going to provide compassionate care to the 450 lb patient or the patient with stage 4 lung cancer...

7. Do you bag your bodies naked?

   srerrn2 replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

   I have worked in ER's for many years and we do clean up the patient as much as we can. We then place a clean gown on the patient and a fresh sheet on them before closing the body bag. It may take a few extra minutes but the dead deserve this respec...

8. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

   srerrn2 replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

   WOW!!! Pretty judgemental of you after only 2 years as an RN. Tread lightly as Karma tends to get back at us.

9. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

   srerrn2 replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I can't speak for the person who originally responded to you but I was also put off by your original question. When you use a public professional forum then really you are addressing everyone on here. i think just about every nurse has h...

10. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    srerrn2 replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    A number of really good points here. My experience with study groups was positive. We had a VERY carefully chosen group of 5 students and we studied well together. We learned pretty early on not to mess with our mix. If another person wanted to study...

11. Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

    srerrn2 replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing

    @2out1togo: good for you!!! do not let anything hold you back now. choose your path and follow it. if sadly, your spouse chooses not to support your dreams then you need to decide what you want to keep in your life-your husband or your future. o...

12. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    srerrn2 replied to jlove1821's topic in Relations

    @cheyfire: i think you answered this question quite well, taking into consideration both the ethical and legal ramifications. as nurses, it is our nature to want to reach out and to help and comfort others. however, we are held to a higher standar...

13. Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

    srerrn2 replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Nursing school at 45? Heck yes!!! I started nursing school at 30(with a 7,3 and 1 year old). Best thing I ever did. Strong sense of accomplishment. Did extremely well in my classes because this was what I had chosen to do. I had been concerned that I...

14. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    srerrn2 replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of good advice here. If assaulted, by all means call the police and press charges. Assault also includes spitting. One word of caution. While it is VERY important to document the heck out of these situations, do NOT copy the actual charts an...

15. Patients that are not allowed narcotics

    srerrn2 replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    What do you mean it isn't up to you? We are not mindless robots here simply to "follow doctors orders". As nurses, it is our responsibility to work as a team member with our docs and to communicate with them. I spend much longer with the patients ...
