  1. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    ugh, that sucks! I have sleep apnea and would be miserable if I couldn't use my own machine and mask. I love when the patients bring their own from home and use it independently, less work for me!...

  2. Longest Shift You've Worked

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I mentioned in a previous thread (about being burnt out, imagine that) that I've worked 24 hour shifts on a few occasions, but that comes along with a four hour break during which most nurses take a...

  5. Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you work 24 hours you are entitled to a four hour break so we usually will go to sleep for those four hours which is a help. But I agree that it is dangerous and myself have only done it twice...

    Corpsman2OncRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Corpsman2OncRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Corpsman2OncRN posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Nurse Managers: Showing initiative, or being creepy?

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Thank you all! I appreciate the insight. I agree that if I were on the receiving end I’d probably find it a bit off-putting...just wanted to make sure I’m not alone there, haha! Cause really at...

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

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Two points: One, as a female who has worked in the medical field for the past seven years, I have been refused by males whose religious belief does not allow them to be cared for by females and it did...

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to suits2scrubz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an accelerated BSN program right now at 29 after getting a BA in another field and then spending some time in the military. Definitely will not be the "old one" at 24, and also as others have...

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to msmoe16's topic in Government, Military

  21. Finding work after termination?

    Corpsman2OncRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this topic (incident is unrelated to drugs/alcohol) but I didn't really know where else to post it. Before I get into this story, a disclaimer: This is not...

  22. GI bill

    Corpsman2OncRN replied to usafrn833's topic in Government, Military
