1. How some kids are being raised...

   saongiri replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

   The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter ...

2. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

   saongiri replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

   I think you should continue in school and get a degree that compliments your BSN like an MSN in Nursing informatics or research.

3. Student sues Health Dept. (2nd verse, same as the first)

   saongiri replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

   It was basketball and not baseball (not that it matters) and the actual article has the following info. "The chickenpox vaccine is not derived from aborted fetuses. There are a number of vaccines made in descendent cells of aborted fetuses dating ba...

4. Help. Input. Agree. Disagree. Thoughts.

   saongiri replied to NRNPH's topic in General Nursing

   No I wouldn't.

5. Written Up

   saongiri replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

   Is it possible that the orders were written by 2 different doctors? That happens sometimes and that is one of things we as nurses need to look out for.

6. Help. Input. Agree. Disagree. Thoughts.

   saongiri replied to NRNPH's topic in General Nursing

   I think I would. Like if a can of soda was open by the time it got up to my unit/patient I would serve the can of soda even if technically the soda in the can might be fine.

7. Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

   saongiri replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I am so against the use of the word "robot" in these articles about the case.

8. WGU RN to BSN

   saongiri replied to Flightmed123's topic in School Programs

   Some graduate programs require a 3.5 or 4.0 GPA for admittance but many don't. I did my BSN in 3.5 months and I had 43 credits I needed through WGU. You decide how fast to go. I work part time but I also have kids and help with my husband's business....

9. Med-Surg Negativity

   saongiri replied to jthoma43's topic in Career Support

   You will learn the most diverse nursing practice ever with some med- surg experience. It is also quite a bit easier to get a position in the hospital and then move to another department as positions open. It's hard but you will learn time management ...

10. Honesty on resume, now no job.

    saongiri replied to gumbi_12's topic in Career Support

    Sometimes the "not dream job" can prove to be a good job anyway. In my opinion you need to land somewhere and stay for a year.If the hospital pacing is too fast look for an office job, home health (maybe? some hire new grads) or nursing home. Every j...

11. Would you be insulted?

    saongiri replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that a sense of inclusion comes from the unit/department head right on down. there is no reason that if you have proven to be an safe, effective nurse with three years experience, that you should not precept. I'd be mad to if I were you....

12. Crossroad: need advice/thoughts on my route

    saongiri replied to ASCATRN's topic in Post Graduate

    I say go for it!

13. Worsening Health, Considering Resignation

    saongiri replied to Serhilda's topic in General Nursing

    I would consider looking for a new job before resigning from the current one. I work in school nursing and it's great in lots of ways but I will say having some med/surg or peds experience is helpful as you are often the only nurse in a building and ...

14. Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    saongiri replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    How does she have time to question you all shift? I would be giving her a new job every time she asked me something. "Sure we can talk about that after you...."

15. I feel like I caused a patient's death and I can't get over it

    saongiri replied to jane82's topic in Safety

    There is an important distinction between causing someone's death and maybe missing an early opportunity to intervene. If you had given her medicine that caused her death or put a pillow over her face then you would have caused her death. Maybe sucti...
