   teelee replied to traumaRUs's topic in Critical

   My husband is not a nurse and he can't wait to go!

2. Should I go to NTI even if I am not in critical care?

   teelee replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical

   I have gone for the last 5 years and I am not in Critical care but Cardiac Telemetry. I have learned so much and even became a PCCN. Go and enjoy the "sense of humor" only a nurse can.

3. Visit the allnurses.com booth at NTI and get a gift :)

   teelee replied to Brian's topic in Critical

   I was there and by the time I arrived to your booth all were on a break I think. Your booth was unmanned at @1130am on Thursday, or you may have been occupied with others near by but I missed you. Thank-you for providing this service to nurses, I n...

4. Cultural sensitivity project atheism

   teelee replied to autopsy's topic in General Students

   A very good book to check out is by Dr. Vigo Olsen. As an agnostic MD he tried to prove there was no God. In the end he says understanding science the way we do How can someone not believe in something greater than our selves. Too bad I can't reme...

5. Impact of culture on medical care

   teelee replied to pnstudent07's topic in General Students

   I remember about 15 years ago my first encounter with the indian culture. Women walk behind the men about 15 paces out of respect. I remember when it came time to walk this patient we had to be creative and get the mail hospital workers to walk bes...

6. Help with my assignment!

   teelee replied to marshgreencohen's topic in General Nursing

   Good luck, Have you tried the web or ask.com? I try that often and come up with links of all sorts. You still have to do the work and find the information within the articles and document them. Wishing you well.:balloons:

7. discouraged

   teelee replied to beba42's topic in New Jersey

   Yes, as the others have said "it is not what you know, but who you know" and "how you communicate". You might try looking at Quality assurance positions, Utilization positions or Case Management or even Risk Management. These might not be listed as...

8. Socialogy Movie!!

   teelee replied to jodyangel's topic in General Students

   Believe it or not a pastor I know has chosen "Napoleon Dynomite" to help teach the youth spiritual truths to cope with society. You could go to the church website for more information and possibly get a copy of his outline. http://www.racinefellowsh...

9. Thought I had it made and then it happened.Help please

   teelee replied to rrw365's topic in General Students

   I may be branded a "B" for this but: stress drives us all nuts. WE all have personal stories we could tell but the bottom line is the patient's safety. 1. IS/Was the patient at risk? YES or NO are your only choices here. 2. Did you violate...

10. Looking for advice from experienced and new CCU RNs

    teelee replied to Bijou-Spice's topic in CCU

    Good Choice to take the CCU. I work a tele floor but we often get the ICU patinets that the ICU does not have room for becuase we can run the drips they need. However a 2/1 patient load is much easier than a 5/1. I wish you well

    teelee replied to mye614's topic in Cardiac

    Good choice. :balloons: Monitor the ring holding the diaphragm on. Mine; on my littman cardiomaster fell off somewhere. I should get it replaced. I have found out; after the fact, that I hear just as well with my "cheep" scope now that I know w...

12. What would you change about your nursing school?

    teelee replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students

    I went to Diploma School of nursing about 25 years ago. It was the best of both worlds. Courses like Micro and A&P were through the local community college. I do wish we had more about evidence finding and research.(should get that with my MSN...

13. Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    teelee replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Humor

    My favorite was an elderly man that went through every staff member asking if they were an RN. I happened to be the RN near by and He took me into the bathroom to show me he had passed a rather large amount of stool. This actually helped my practi...

14. Lenght of a stethoscope

    teelee replied to mye614's topic in Cardiac

    IF you are tall you might consider the longer one--some of the positions I had to be in when I had a shorter scope whew! Be aware that 5 more inches can produce more artifact sounds. :Melody:

15. LPN Writting about physical assessment

    teelee replied to dinny's topic in LPN/LVN

    Im not an expert but I will try to help.(isnt that what nurses do?) Subjective data: What the client says about his/her condition. Any statements they give you. Objective data: What you see, smell, hear, feel or read including any measurements. (NO...
