  1. Implied/actual 'Right' for nurses to 'Do' Hands-on Procedures.

    It's like a Vit C replied to James W.'s topic in General Students

    @James W.I posted this in the thread Cowboy made that you are referring to... Simply put, this topic is about sexism. Sexism is discrimination and/or prejudice against another based solely on one's...

  2. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    That's the point I'm trying to make. I just want the OP or other posters to come to this conclusion on their

  3. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Simply put, this topic is about sexism. Sexism is discrimination and/or prejudice against another based solely on one's sex. Cowboy and/or James W, can you honestly tell me that you feel your...

  4. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    That and "Why don't you want to be a

  5. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I have never felt the least bit insulted whenever a patient of mine refused care due to the fact that I am male. I don't view it as discrimination. Regardless of past trauma history or...

  6. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Well, I take back everything I said in your defense. I'm sure you will no doubt make a stellar nurse when you rely on the education of others. After all, that's "literally why they have doctors...

  7. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    It's like a Vit C replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I feel most people on this thread need to calm down. The OP's post is ignorant... but seemingly unintentionally (that's a joke). It doesn't seem worthwhile to start calling people insensitive and...

  8. Working as an online nursing tutor

    It's like a Vit C posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All, I have been thinking of getting some type of a side job that I could do from home. (I am currently a PMHNP full time). I like teaching students and have some experience with it and...

  9. 5 things would have detered nurse from killing

    It's like a Vit C replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    I personally believe she should not have been given the means to further her own narrative and agenda through this article. To claim that more regulating of insulin would have prevented her from...

  10. Working as an online nursing tutor

    It's like a Vit C replied to It's like a Vit C's topic in General Nursing

    I have, and I think the commitment in being an actual faculty member, be it online or in-person, would be too much for me right

  11. Pt fell and I think its my fault

    It's like a Vit C replied to Jen and Larry's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of the biggest take aways from this incident should be to never chart that you gave a med if you didn't actually give it. From an outsiders perspective (I'm not accusing you of this), but it may...

  12. PMHNPs, what is a typical day like for you?

    It's like a Vit C replied to justsaiyanRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work outpatient only. I typically see about 15-20 medication management appointments a day for the people on my own caseload. The times for each appointment vary on complexity and the history I...

  13. I am not satisfied with my assigned preceptorship unit

    It's like a Vit C replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in General Students

    You are putting entirely too much weight on this situation. Nursing is almost all learned on the job after graduation. Get what you can out of the experience and move on towards

  14. Hand Massages

    It's like a Vit C replied to saraaileen76's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's absurd! I understand the hypothetical benefit to the patient but to expect a nurse to have the time to massage people's hands is unreasonable. Do they really want you to chart that or...

  15. Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    It's like a Vit C replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    Great service! I highly recommend it. They have everything, prices are good an the books were in good condition. It's so much cheaper than buying and you aren't left with a stack of books that become...

  16. Can you refuse to give care to a resident in LTC?

    It's like a Vit C replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess everyone would handle this situation in a different way. From what you're describing about this resident it sounds to me like you may want to handle your communication with him in a different...

  17. to AMA or not to AMA?

    It's like a Vit C replied to newnurse925's topic in General Nursing

    And what is their great idea for safely stopping the patient? I actually think I'm drifting a little away from topic but this kind of talk from supervisors bothers me. If you tried to convince them...

  18. to AMA or not to AMA?

    It's like a Vit C replied to newnurse925's topic in General Nursing

    I agree but at no time in the description of the OPs case was the patient involuntarily comitted for psychiatric treatment. That being the case, the nurse cannot and by all means for their own safety...

  19. to AMA or not to AMA?

    It's like a Vit C replied to newnurse925's topic in General Nursing

    It is a violation of human rights to hold that person against they're will unless they are directly a danger to themselves or others and have been committed for mental health treatment and should be...

  20. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

    It's like a Vit C replied to Pharmahaulic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I almost wish I did work in a state where NPs couldn't prescribe benzos or stims. If that was the case it would completely remove all the confrontation inherent in being a responsible prescriber. It...

  21. taste of medication

    It's like a Vit C replied to socoamaretto's topic in General Nursing

    When you drink kayexelate it's like drinking artificial sweetener that was made into a syrup and colored orange. It is noticeably sweet but doesn't taste that bad. The little cups of potassium liquid...

  22. Easy low stress job vs. Challenging high stress one?

    It's like a Vit C replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked in the ER but I did work med/surg in the hospital for about 6 years. While working 3 12 hour shifts is nice, the worst part about hospital scheduling is weekends and holidays. In...

  23. Question for nurses that are male...

    It's like a Vit C replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Don't use it, it's just nurse. The phrase "male nurse" is not necessarily insulting as much as it is simply annoying. I could get on a soap box here and talk about gender inequality and how society...

  24. Using Recruiters as a New Grad Nurse Practitioner

    It's like a Vit C replied to jaystyr's topic in General Nursing

    When I first graduated as a pmhnp I was contacted by multiple recruiters promising all types of jobs in all different states. Some of them were pushy and just wanted info. Some of them would never...

  25. Any NPs miss being an RN?

    It's like a Vit C replied to cbxo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NO WAY! I will never miss the drama associated with bedside nursing care. I worked bedside med/surg for 6 years and would never go back. Long days, holidays, weekends, call bells, floating, broken...
