   That's a pity...

2. Odd things you've seen in nursing

   SoulSearcherRN replied to SoulSearcherRN's topic in General Nursing

   The ileus story reminded me of taking care of a colostomy. I was always terrified when irrigating one that I would have an explosion and you know how bad those smell! Sounds to me like you have some terrible luck... I think you should have full acces...

   SoulSearcherRN replied to SoulSearcherRN's topic in General Nursing

   For those of you that would like to chat, maybe sometime we can meet up a chat room that isn't used much like, www.joehollywood.net at THE BANG or UPSTAIRS chat?

4. Odd things you've seen in nursing

   SoulSearcherRN replied to SoulSearcherRN's topic in General Nursing

   I would agree with your nursing instructor. Although sterile at first, urine doesn't stay sterile for long, from what I've been told. I believe it also has something to do with it hitting the air too. Also, think about when you are collecting urine f...

   I bet if they made one, you'd have to be a premium member to get in anyway...

6. "Nursing Staff"

   SoulSearcherRN replied to Lisa, MA's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I see it as a broad term. Nursing staff would be nurses, assistants, techs, managers, supervisors, ect.

   Maybe if we get enough interest in it someone will take notice and create one?

8. Odd things you've seen in nursing

   SoulSearcherRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   The post about MRSA and empting a foley reminded me of something strange that happened at work. There was a patient that was infected with HIV who had a foley. Of all the odds, a cna was emptying the urine into the toilet when some of the urine splas...

   I don't think that will change. I can't see them turning people away.

    I think it would be great if this site had a chat room. Most of these posts are really interesting and I bet would make for great discussion.

11. Got 1st US nursing job, now freaking out...

    SoulSearcherRN replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in New Nurse

    You'll be okay! The facility must be impressed with you as it is starting to get very competitive in the nursing job market. Trust in your abilities. As far as greeting patients, I think the typical "Hi my name is ____. I'll be your nurse for the day...

12. Got 1st US nursing job, now freaking out...

    SoulSearcherRN replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in New Nurse

    I think with nursing you never learn EVERYTHING. I had an interview at a LTC facility, but didn't get the job. When I asked how long the orientation period was, they told me 2 to 3 days. I thought that was terrible considering my previous job at a ho...

13. Health Care Bill

    SoulSearcherRN replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your last sentence, Leslie. It would make all the difference in the world if Congress didn't have the same right and access to healthcare. They might actually give a crap if they couldn't afford insurance. What happened to Obama's plan t...

14. Willing to give a CA girl the scoop on good hospitals in KY

    SoulSearcherRN replied to Mirasol's topic in Kentucky

    Pay starts around $19.00 without shift differential in the hospitals I know of in western/central Kentucky. It can vary though according to the area you work in and the hospital. Sometimes ICU and CCU get paid a couple dollars more on the hour.
