   Soldiersnurse replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I also had 3 c/s--first emergency (cathed before spinal) and the second two were elective. It was my choice, so of course I elected to have the spinal first. DUH! Who wouldn't?? It should be the patient's choice, if the Doc still refuses talk to ...

8. IV starts

   Soldiersnurse replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in New Nurse

   Not many nursing schools teach how to initiate IV therapy. It would be a helpful skill, but all of the hospitals and clinics where I have worked have classes and will be happy to teach you. It shouldn't be something that would prevent you from gett...

11. How many of you are married to or date someone in the Medical Field?

    Soldiersnurse replied to echo*echo's topic in General Nursing

    When I met my husband he was an EMT-B, and he was wonderful. The more EMS knowledge he got the more resentful he became of nurses (especially ER nurses). Still love him though. We agree to disagree
