5. When Your Patient Wants To Talk Politics

   KC,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I guess this could apply to any part of life, but just curious how everyone handles it when your patient wants to talk about politics. I typically try to redirect the subject back to the care I am providing, but sometimes you have to stay in a room f...

6. Bachelor's vs Associates in Nursing

   KC,RN replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Where I live most of the prestigious hospitals and more of the local hospital want a BSN. I have my ADN and I am working on my BSN now. If you have the time I would go for your BSN because you will need it sooner or later.

7. Hostile families

   KC,RN replied to KC,RN's topic in Relations

   I don't know if I expressed this clearly, but I truely do not think this son had any intention of causing trouble in the hospital. I think he felt helpless seeing his mother in that much pain and he was not able to do anything about it. I also think ...

    I know I spelled that wrong. As I said in the other posts I typed that quickly in the middle of the night without check. Thanks for correcting me. I will double check next time.

13. Hostile families

    KC,RN replied to KC,RN's topic in Relations

    I know I was very vague in my post because I didn't want to give out to much information. The incident that happened last night was this. Pt came to the floor right at change of shift after a hellish ER experience with pancreatitis. Clearly in 10/10 ...

14. Hostile families

    KC,RN posted a topic in Relations

    My last two shifts I have had issues with very hostel family members who felt that my hospital and me were not doing enough to prevent a patients pain. I had medicated both of these patients and update the MD when the pain medication was not effectiv...

15. Interested in earning a BSN degree

    KC,RN replied to hiii's topic in ADN/BSN

    Ok point taken. My point was that you need to ask about your credits, and in my experience most schools will take credits already earned for an RN to bsn program.
