   I wouldn't say "automatically." This has been a downward progression since at least yesterday.

   I think we might be feeding a troll at this point.

   White, male nurse here... I hate to echo what has already been said, but there's plenty of data that backs up what Warren says. There's also plenty of nurses on here who have said they've witnessed this phenomenon first hand. I worked for two years ...

4. Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

   rldubz replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

   In my state, the BON sends us a monthly email of all of the "corrective actions" taken against individual nurses. Considering the kind of stuff many of these nurses have done and still kept their license, I think you'll probably be fine. If I read co...

5. Did you contract anything from a patient?

   rldubz replied to RNrhythm's topic in General Nursing

   I recently had a weird fungal ear infection that eventually led to a ruptured ear drum. Though I couldn't pinpoint an actual patient, my ENT said it was more than likely something I picked up from work. Good times.

6. The Death Spectrum: A new(ish) ER nurse's perspective

   rldubz replied to rldubz's topic in General Nursing

   While the 16 year old was a peds code in the technical sense, I have yet to be involved in a code of a younger kid (if that makes sense). We don't get a ton of them where I work. A few months back we had a child, age 5, who was brought in following a...

7. The Death Spectrum: A new(ish) ER nurse's perspective

   rldubz posted a topic in General Nursing

   As 2015 was nearing its end, so too was my final semester of nursing school. My mood was good. I already had a job lined up, and I felt fairly confident that I would do fine on my final exams. Some time in those final weeks, however, a surge of anxie...

11. LSUHSC or Delgado Charity

    rldubz replied to NOLAMOM's topic in Louisiana

    Hi. Sorry this is late, but I just saw that. 1. I doubt there is any difference at all. 2. I graduated from Charity and and currently in a BSN program. The only difference is with the BSN, there's a ton of research papers. That's almost entirely wha...

12. Looking for a change in scenery

    rldubz posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, all. So I'm an ED nurse in the suburbs of New Orleans. My wife and children (1 and 5) are looking to move to a new area some time within the next two years. The reasons are many, but some of the biggies are crime, terrible public schools, and ...

13. Anyone live in Parker?

    rldubz replied to rldubz's topic in Colorado

    Awesome, thanks for the info. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Not dead set on Parker. Just pretty sure I don't want to live in Aurora. Parker just seemed to have a really good public school system (which, where I'm currently living, does NOT), ...

14. Anyone live in Parker?

    rldubz posted a topic in Colorado

    Hello all. I'm a fairly new grad (December 15) working in the metro New Orleans area. My wife and I are considering moving from here to the Denver area (for numerous reasons), and one of the suburbs we like a lot is Parker. Been looking at home price...

15. Elsevier and Chromebook.

    rldubz posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone. Quick question. I'm starting my nursing program in about two weeks. While I don't have the specifics yet, my textbooks are going to all be ebooks. To be more specific, it's going to be a "Pageburst eBooks Package", published by Elsevier....
