HR should add to the nurse's job duties, "dodges projectile vomiting as needed".

It looks good to me. Here are 2 suggestions: For #1, you may want to say "learner will demonstrate correct donning & removal of PPE...". For #2, you could elaborate to say that the learner will be...

Let me give you an example. As you have probably learned, there are positive & negative symptoms associated with the disorders these drugs treat, such as hallucinations & anhedonia, respectively....

Less than 1 in 1 million recipients of the flu vaccine experience the side effect GBS; your statistic is extremely inaccurate.

I wear this bright, red lipstick so other disciplines can distinguish me from my fellow nurses wearing the same white uniform. No, you cannot borrow it.

Allied health professionals, depending on the specialty, have a specific set of technical or procedural competencies to support the work carried out by doctors & nurses. Nurses have a broader skill...

Coming from the perspective of a TB case manager, please do not permit visitors refusing to wear PPE to visit an infectious TB patient in an AII room. #1: It sets a precedent; it will be very...

This is just my perspective. I do not work in HR, but I received positive feedback on my newbie resume on a few occasions upon graduation. Also, I had a job offer soon after I graduated. List items...

Great topic. I dealt with a bully who was covertly aggressive; she was a manipulative, undermining button-pusher. I read this book called In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding & Dealing with...

I hold the perspective that, regardless of the quality of the orientation/training one receives, it is ultimately the individual nurse's responsibility to know how to perform his or her own job...

I don't always like how nurses are portrayed in the media. There used to be an organization of nurses dedicated to advocating for better representation of nurses, but I think they shut down shop....

This isn't medical advice; this is advice to keep you in your nursing program. I have bipolar disorder, & I thought it wise to stop taking my medication around the time I started nursing school. I...

No, that is not how accelerated programs are designed. The accelerated programs require you to complete all the required pre-requisites a typical BSN completes, so someone may spend a several...

I got mad bling from my boo. It's a princess cut fomite ring set in platinum.

If heat rises, why is it colder in the mountains than at sea level? Oops...supposed to be a nursing thought; sorry.

You did what you needed to do by apologizing to the parent & contacting the DON; I'm sure they'll consider that heavily. I bet it won't happen again. Be prepared to tell what you'll do in the future...

Great advice. My profile/avatar are inconspicuous. I'm not really a dog, I don't really live on the internet, & I have much more than 0 years of experience. ;)

I wouldn't say "lack of career opportunity to grow as a nurse" as your reason. I would site the "desire for career growth opportunities" as you reason for leaving. Put a positive spin on it while...

Man would there be a few confounding variables in such a study!

Not recently, but at a prior place of employment, I requested & received reasonable accommodations without having to go into the specifics of my Dx. I was in counseling once per week for 1.5 hours at...

The other one, Cervarix, is only licensed for females. I personally think it is an inferior vaccine b/c it only protect against HPV Types 16 & 18 (cervical cancer-causing) & not the additional 6 & 11...

You read all 900 pages? I just re-read what you wrote realized you meant capping costs & not putting annual/lifetime limits on coverage. Sorry. I agree that it is a good solution. Obamacare will be...

I have seen more & more males receiving it at local health departments. For clarification, the vaccine can be administered through the age of 26. If someone turns 27 and has an incomplete series,...
