   lucky4timesover replied to nursemae's topic in Oncology

   As a chemo nurse I strongly believe that training is vital. I completely agree with what you say wanting to do it right for your patients. Sounds like a dangerous place to work. I went to oncology as a new grad. My floor was going through a big turno...

   lucky4timesover replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   If it is normal for all children I don't know, but ALL 3 of my boys constantly pulled at their penis when they were around that age. My youngest thinks it's funny to pull his diaper off to do it. Don't worry, I am sure she is just fine. Hope this ...

4. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

   lucky4timesover replied to platon20's topic in NP

   I have to start by saying that I intend to get my NP after I am done with my ADN and BSN. That being said, I think one does cross a certain line with wanting NPs to perform surgery, even what you would describe as minor ones. Doctors do serve a pur...

   lucky4timesover replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

   At the hospital where I perform clinicals, we have a barcode system for the patient and the meds. For our patients in isolation, or sometimes when they are not, we use the barcode on their charge card in the nurse server. It seems to work well at t...

7. Why can't doctors just "TELL" their patients the TRUTH!?!

   lucky4timesover replied to MrsStraty's topic in Oncology

   Hi, I just wanted to say that I kind of know how you feel. I lost my mother in law who I loved very much two days before Christmas. She had been diagnosed for 4 months when she passed and she was only 68 years old. When they finally got her diagno...

8. Marriage and Nursing school ?

   lucky4timesover replied to whatmaters's topic in Male Students

   Perhaps I am off base here, but this is how I personally feel about marriage and nursing school. BTW I have been married for seven years, so I have a little experience with it. Your marriage will make it through nursing school if you want it to. N...

   lucky4timesover replied to sensweet's topic in General Nursing

   I can completely relate. I am also in Arkansas, but am at an ADN program. There isn't a BSN program in our area unless you already have your ADN. I am feeling burnt out as well, but I still have a semester after this one. I say go into the area Y...
