    CoVid vaccines may not solve all issues

    I found this interview on Medscape Nurses between Paul Offit, MD and Eric Topol, MD very informative about the current status for our Co-Vid vaccines and trials. Dr. Offit is the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Phi...

    Best online place to get CEU?

    I've tried American Association of Critical Care Nurses' site - excellent quality of materials. Two courses were free, but other course are charged, unless you have membership in AACN, in which case they are free. Clinical Resources on AACN

    Ageism in Nursing

    Those of us who are older nurses will surely remember President Ronald Reagan's classic 1984 presidential debate comment, when grilled about his age precluding his being able to do the work, "I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue ...

    What State are you in and when is your next break?

    Lucky we live Hawaii. I'm not commenting on vacation time here, but Hawaii has 15 official state holidays - we get to take all the national holidays plus Prince Kuhio, King Kamehameha, and Hawaii Statehood Day. Not to mention that living in Hawaii ...

    racist patients

    Fayassin, I'm very sorry to hear you had that experience, and despite being Caucasian myself, I've had that experience. I learned to see it as my chance to see how discrimination feels-- I know it isn't the same as facing that regularly, but it hel...

    Words You Hate

    I would like to second Brownbook's phrase - those two words simply don't belong together! How about sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, meaning ice cream headache or brain freeze. That is one to scare a poor patient.

    Hospice: True Death Sentence?

    Joy, thank you for your beautiful article. It really does sum it up - "You never know what God has planned." Your patients are in good hands to have such a compassionate and open minded nurse.

    hiring older nurses

    This discussion reminded me of Reagan. In the Reagan/Mondale debates of 1984, the moderator asked Reagan, "President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuban missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you...

    Meet Miss Colorado 2015 (Kelley Johnson) - The Nurse Behind the Stethoscope

    Beautifully said, Kelly Johnson. You have made a very moving tribute to what nurses can do in the lives of others. I completely agree that nursing is a talent, and your monologue showed nursing at its best. Best wishes in your career. Sue Salisbu...

    Would you have called out?

    I am sorry to hear about what you are going through and I agree with all the comments above - you scrambled to make up for a plan that clearly might not be able to include you, and that was generous of you. And it was probably an important event for...

    Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    It must be so emotionally difficult to be fighting for your life, find yourself in the midst of a public relations maelstrom, and be worried about and maybe separated from your family, friends, and loved ones. On top of that, you just dedicated your...

    Advice Appreciated!

    Congratulations on a great career choice. Challenging question, but I think for me it would be to realize after you learn all you can in school, another essential type of education is going to start as soon as you get your first job and are taking n...

    health education topics i can share here in the oil rig

    Mikolagarde, Sounds like a tough occupational nursing job, but challenging and interesting. It sounds like you are largely doing this already with the education topics you mentioned, but seems if it is clear to management and workers that your prima...
