2. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

   jsauce replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely consider the "vet techs" at my dog's vet hospital nurses. They even call themselves that, although I don't think it's official. I don't have a problem with it, and think that you deserve the title.

3. Dallas Nurses

   jsauce replied to chad75's topic in Texas

   I work at Childrens Medical Center in Dallas and they hire LVNs. I think Medical City also hires LVNs. I'm not too sure about the ADN programs...i know about Excelsior because an LVN I work with is doing it, she seems to like it. I graduated from TWU...

4. Nurses wearing white

   jsauce replied to rnmaven's topic in General Nursing

   No way! I had to wear white in nursing school, and in my opinion it really made me feel generic and ugly. I think it's true that you pick colors that reflect your mood, and that's good because at the time those are the colors in which you feel most c...

   jsauce replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

   I guess it really depends on what kind of person you are. I am the type of person that drinks only occasionally, just don't like feeling out of control. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is my total opposite. He likes to drink more than me and loves s...

8. admission assessment of pedi patients

   jsauce replied to darla chick's topic in Pediatric

   The only time I do a GU assessment is on babies/children with diapers and patients with catheters. And of course, if the pt was admitted for that particular reason or has any underlying history warranting physical assessment of the area. I think you ...

9. fixing nasogastric tubes in place

   jsauce replied to samrakaan's topic in Pediatric

   What about tincture of benzoin? We use that sometimes to help tegaderm stick (that's what we have at our hospital, also). Whoever said tegaderm doesn't stick if the skin is completely dry is right! It kind of sucks. Tincture of benzoin helps everyth...

10. Question for Pediatric Nurses

    jsauce replied to LButlerRN2007's topic in Pediatric

    Definitely try to get involved in an externship program or try to work as a clinical technician. It will give you a great feel for working with the kids in the hospital setting along with the parents. You may get one rotation with peds in school, but...
