   BD-RN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

   This right here! Exactly! as I said in my post, the principal is the one who sent something out to teachers. But you are a healthcare professional. You have the tools to add health science to the argument. A teacher can easily say "well I can't go to...

2. Restroom Access

   BD-RN replied to seedanurse's topic in School

   I ran cross country and track in high school in the Temecula Valley, where it can get hot. Practice for all sports was after school, therefore we needed to be sure we were adequately hydrated throughout the day. Naturally, the more you hydrate, the m...

5. Infusion Tx and OCN

   BD-RN replied to Dacatster's topic in Oncology

   I think you’re confusing OCN certification and the ONS Chemotherapy & Biotherapy administration certification. The latter is akin to a competency certification: you take a class and pass an exam at the end that says you’re certified to administer...

6. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

   BD-RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   34,000 pounds is 44,000 USD. The pound is worth more than the dollar. https://www.google.com/search?q=34000+pounds+to+dollars&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

7. Should I report this nurse?

   BD-RN replied to laladeedee's topic in Med-Surg

   This old myth bugs me to the core. If you have a working iv, i dont care if it's a 24 or 16: hang the freaking blood. There are patients who you just can't get a 18 or 20 on, but they still need blood. I actually pulled up an old study recently that ...

8. Did anyone have to relocate for nursing school?

   BD-RN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

   How are your privacy settings? If you don't make everything public, there's not much they can see. Be smart about what you post, and know how to set your filters. Example: your username on here looks like it could be your real name. This is a public ...

10. Stanford Rape

    BD-RN replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read her letter? Did you read the part where she wished she could take off her body like a jacket? She specifically said she was not okay, from the moment she realized her underwear was missing. She was not okay, and she knew she had been ra...

12. New Grad Interview for Bone Marrow Transplant

    BD-RN replied to mathematical's topic in Oncology

    BMT is under the umbrella of oncology, which is specialty nursing in most hospitals. Because the patients are a little more acute then general med surg, the ratio is usually lower. Even in states with higher ratios, you typically will have no more th...

14. The film: Vaxxed.

    BD-RN replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    This has got to be a joke, right? The poor grammar mixed with the cured stage 4 CA screams it. If not, please know, Your friend was NOT cured of their "stage IV cancer" by natural means. As an oncology nurse, I am first and foremost an advocate for ...

15. The film: Vaxxed.

    BD-RN replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It actually had nothing to do with property values. It was a fire hazard. My mother lived in high risk fire country, and the dry, out of control weeds posed a risk to the entire community. This isn't anecdotal information, it's an analogy. There's a...
