1. Question on holistic RN Scope of Practice

   drkolie replied to willitblend?'s topic in Holistic

2. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

   drkolie replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

   I never thought about the look you mentioned for the standard uniform. But it just might work. Many people still look up to the police and the firefighters and the way they have kept thier identity and professional look.. I would be willing to w...

   Amen.................Plus when they do have them on, and there is not stickers all over them, they are turned the other way. I went on an interview for management last month and I mentioned about the name tags because everyone I was introduced to...

   well, they actually do inforce the caps in some hospitals. As far as 5 years ago, I know of many in the mid west and now the east. They are mostly priviatly owned hospitals and they actually are able to staff nurses with no problems. There are many o...

    I really think it is the area where we work, but here in hawaii, I work as a DON. in a Assisted living as well. We did not go out and ask the residents what they wanted to see. That was our first mistake. The corp. management of our facility decided ...

    If I were a male, I would think the cap idea was pretty stupid as well, and so: as with any professional, there is always a double standard. I am not ging to wear a jock stap if someone said you are doing a mans work and therefore, put this on. I p...
