1. Flu Shot Nurse

   merry nurse posted a topic in Disease

   Has anyone ever given flu vaccines at clinics or ran a clinic. Just wondering what to expect as I signed up to do a few, and have never done this type of nursing. It sounds like fun, but a lot of paperwork? What kinds of problems should I be on the l...

   merry nurse replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric

   I know exactly what your talking about! I know some are o.k. but the majority are just like you say. They also think they are more important than us (wee) nurses. I don't know where they get THAT from.I did have one come back once and tell me "That w...

   I once had a colonoscopy by a DR. Auger..... My girlfriend breaks up with her boyfriend. Next day I go on and on about how she really is lucky to be rid of him, that he is homely, etc. He was standing in the corner of the room listening. They had ma...

4. Share your feedback re: ethical nursing issues

   merry nurse replied to newnurse2005's topic in Safety

8. Site for gluteal IM injections ?

   merry nurse replied to RMA2RN's topic in General Nursing

   I also inject using the 4 quadrands and injecting at the upper right, without any c/o pain, etc. You would be surprised at the number of nurses I work with that don't know about this method. I never could get the feel for the V method.

9. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

   merry nurse replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

   I like to have fun on our dementia unit, we need a sense of humer and the residents laugh with us. I once rode an empty clean utility cart, covered up with a sheet and jumped up at other nurses, all in good fun and only on a very slow night. I don"t ...

10. Are Your End-of-Life Wishes Clear?

    merry nurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing
