  1. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    Yeah, both are correct. Utilise is British English and Utilize is American English.
  2. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    Oops, I accidentally hit the 'd' key instead of the 's'. They're beside each other. I'm actually quite mad at myself for not seeing this. I'm the type of person who reads a post correcting the spelling in my head! I love constructive criticism as I'...
  3. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    A nonsense thread? I'm sharing a quote that I have never forgotten that I read in a math calculations book. Hopefully students or nurses who also read this thread won't forget it too, therefore saving someones life. Hopefully if will help nurses beco...
  4. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    They can also cost lived, but for this post I thought I'd share that quote I recently read.
  5. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    I sure am. I read it in a nursing math calculations book.
  6. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    Just thought I'd share this with you all. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives. :)
  7. "...Nurses are Doctors SKIVVIES"

    I don't like when people ask that question when I say I'm going to become a nurse. I sometimes feel as though they want the answer to be "I'm not intelligent enough to be a doctor.. it's too hard". When really, we just don't want to become doctors. W...
  8. "...Nurses are Doctors SKIVVIES"

    "Why do you want to be a nurse anyway? They're doctors skivvies!" :devil::devil::devil: This was what a friend of mine said to me while I was at the bookstore buying some books on Nursing. I just laughed it off there and then but it only really hit m...
  9. Books to Study Before My Course

    I was just wondering would anybody have any recommendations on books to buy before I start my nursing course? I want to go in prepared with some knowledge. I've heard people recommending med-surg books? What are they? What about books on clinicals? A...
  10. texting at work

    That really is a disgrace! It's one thing to text while standing idle in the hallway but its just disrespectful to the profession and to the patient to text while actually setting an IV etc. It makes me angry -- and I haven't even started my nursing...
  11. Items You Carry Daily in the Hospital

    I would have never thought of doing that! Haha. Good one! :)
  12. When I become a nurse I'm going to consider the possibility of working in the Emergency Department/Room (In Ireland we call it the A&E -- Accident and Emergency) I would just like some insight into this area of nursing particularly from an A&...
  13. Sutures

    Another nurse doing our profession proud.
  14. Which is better? Day or Night shift for new grad?

    Hi, congratulations on getting offered a position. Sorry I can't offer you any information on day or night shifts -- haven't started my course yet. If I was to choose on the spot I'd pick night shifts because I'm more of a nocturnal person. :)
  15. As a student nurse on clinicals or a nurse working in a hospital or nursing home, what items do you carry on your person daily? and what would you recommend to a student nurse on clinicals to carry with them?
