  1. Athletic training

    I've done some limited research, but have not come up with much information to answer my question, please help if possible. I am interested in obtaining an athletic training certification and/or training? I'm an RN, have pretty good experience and ...
  2. How to get practice starting IVs / drawing blood

    I agree with those that say to get a part-time job in a different facility or volunteer in a different facility where you will get experience with sticks. It just takes time. I wouldn't spend my time in a class, its gonna be very similar to what yo...
  3. HIPAA in "semi private" areas

    There is the idea of "reasonable" that comes in to play. Many ER's have curtains separating certain rooms, especially with trauma rooms. Its just the way it is. As for semi-private rooms, again, there is a curtain, sometimes that is just the way i...
  4. Is there a nursing shortage?

    I've noticed a huge nursing shortage...it seems that most of the nurses I work with are 5'2"-5'8" so I'm more than a foot taller than most of my co-workers. This nursing "short"age is crazy!
  5. I always start out my shift by grabbing a stack of alcohol swabs for my chest pocket.
  6. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    So if RN experience is not important to being an NP why mess with nursing school? Why not get a bio or chem. degree and go into PA school?

  9. Error on the side of caution. If you are licensed in Ohio, stay in Ohio.
  10. bag for job interview?

    How about a European shoulder bag.
  11. Forced to change shift

    It would be interesting to see which one of your manager's friends gets the day shift opening.
  12. K+ given in the a Docs office?

    I would say you need to speak with your nurse manager about various policies.
  13. Challenges you face as a guy, working as a L&D nurse?

    I really think it is about what is perceived "normal". Many times I have told my patients on med/surg., "no, I'm the nurse, the lady that just walked out of your room is your doctor." I may be wrong here, but I believe that its not just the patient...
  14. Potassium question...

    Apparently that doc likes to get alot of phone calls early in the day.
  15. Challenges you face as a guy, working as a L&D nurse?

    You are probably not going to get many replies since it is pretty rare for men to work L&D. I don't see anything wrong with it, but there are going to be some stereotypes you are going to have to overcome. I can certainly see many current femal...
