  1. What is good example of integrity in nursing?

    When a nurse realizes a med error, he/she notifies the physician immediately and later follows up with a report to management prior to being prompted because they have to by another.
  2. Nurses don't save lives....WHAT?

    How many lives have I saved? Well...I was carving notches into the wood of my desk for each one. Unfortunately, there were a couple of times when I forgot to.... so let's see.....On second thought, maybe the question should be..."how many lives haven...
  3. Co-workers talk.....

    It's the quiet ones that scare me......
  4. How soon we forget.

    Here's the deal....The sky is always falling when your party is not in power, such as when this bill was crafted. Is it the best bill? NO but the reason for that is all of the opposition and haggling incurred by the right. You have to remember this w...
  5. Did I make the right choice by going for my RN

    You need ICU experience to be a CRNA. All of the ICU's I have worked in/done clinicals in require total care. A lot of ICU patients are on stool softeners. My point is to get where you want to be will require a lot of "butt wiping." With that said, I...
  6. Anybody wanna take a stab at this quesiton

    Because the drug in question is for gram negative bacilli . Cold sore's are typically herpes simplex virus
  7. How do the male nurses feel about perineal care?

    First of all you have asked two different questions. How do male nurses "feel" and then you asked IF we actually do it. The answer to the second is yes we do clean the perineum...as far as how we "feel"..... we usually "feel" with our hands, wow what...
  8. Massive RN Layoffs

    Wait a second.....are some of you implying that Glen Beck may not have his "facts" straight? How can you turn a deaf ear to a man willing to show his sincerity by crying on his show that is on the most "fair and balanced" channel in the world? The sk...
  9. Cop to Nurse resume questions

    As a former civilian LEO (and soldier medic) to RN (ER) I can tell you what people have already posted is spot on. For starters you have a track record of being a "professional." A real big point is that communicating with a diverse population thing....
  10. "That's why I don't like working with women"

    By AKANurse4 "The comments here really BLOW ME....." I am pretty sure there is a joke here somewhere...oh nevermind
  11. @ badphish I couldn't have said it better myself. I think that is what I had been trying to say all along.
  12. Do nurses learn how to read EKG's and do phlebotomy?

    If you are focused on getting a tech job right now, do the phlebotomy class. As a tech, you won't be allowed to interpret EKG's anyway as assessment is a nursing function. You more than likely will be able to draw blood however and in the ER or anywh...
  13. I received 18 Cr hours at a well respected community college for my medic training to include 5 of those for the A&P combined course, the rest EMS credits. I was irritated because most nursing programs required A&P separately for 8 hours of C...
  14. ACLS for soon to be GN? Advice please.

    Having it before I graduated definitely helped me get interviews/offers in a tough market. just an extra note: The above is true but although it has been more difficult lately due to the economy, my region hasn't been as hard hit to get jobs as a lo...
  15. Back to Traditional Nursing Uniforms?

    That picture that people have of the traditional nursed is objectifying. If Administrations want traditional looking nurses I guess they better get rid of us dudes. I'd like to see what their patient satisfaction survey looks like when all the nurses...
