Testing for accommodation and extraocular movements.....keep your eyes on the stethoscope baby, as I move it........so that's what I'll look like as a nurse!......don't worry, I can hear you from this distance..........these multipurpose stethoscopes...

Why is it always "older" nurses who are considered bullies? I'm starting to think that the question should be asked, "why do younger nurses eat the older, more experienced nurses?" When you think of younger nurses who feel entitled to red carpet trea...

'twas a pt. who has asked me in the past - she deals with anxiety issues all the time - this day she asked me about it after I gave her meds and got her ready for a nap.

Just a clarification to my OP. I want to let you know that just because I am a Christian, does not mean that I think my classmates or any other nurse I work with are beneath me. I have met many amazing nurses who are not Christians, whom I have learn...

Good food for thought; I'll chew on it. Actually, since you brought it up, I do wear skirts all the time, wear headcoverings, don't wear make up, would love a husband and family if my LORD sees fit! However, I try to glorify my Saviour where He has p...

Like I said earlier, I am not spending all of my time proselytizing. However, if I see an opportunity to speak, I will do so. I had a pt. just this past week ask me how to pray, so in answer to her request, I talked with her about prayer, and then pr...
Though this will be controversial, I have to say it; it is merely answering the end of the OP's post. According to the Bible, every man has a soul. Also there is an afterlife - either heaven or hell. The deciding factor is whether or not each person ...
I guess that I somewhat echo the OP's question; I thought in RN programs they still had a surgical rotation. What I mean is that nurses used to assist in the OR with cleaning, handing tools and such. Have surgical techs taken over that position now?
Honestly, in my experience, it may be more of a learning style than anything else. I used to be an A student, since I've been in nursing, I have been a B/C student. On the other hand, my clinical grades have increased as I have progressed, because I ...
Well! I wish I could have done nursing in a program like you describe! For me, it is so hard to comprehend the theory side, which seems to be the emphasis in the US. I learn best by hands on during clinicals; it would be amazing to have as many clini...

Frankly, none of these responses offend me! You can choose to be offended; I am not judging anyone on this forum, I am just putting out an encouragement for other Christians to be bold about their faith. Jesus did say that people would be offended by...
I wanted to write this as an encouragement to other believers in the LORD Jesus Christ, that there are opportunities to give the Gospel in nursing. I am in my last semester of a nursing program. It is at a technical college, and none of my classmates...
If vaccines are not 100% effective, what is the use of getting them? 'Cause then you have to get a booster, then another booster when they run out. I just don't get the logic: You shouldn't not vaccinate your kids, because they might get sick or some...
BTW, I have not actually seen this film, I am just posting about vaccines in general. Don't you think that someone who actually dares to question the status quo and do "unpopular" research might actually be showing signs of a working mind, meaning th...
