  1. Your most bonehead moment in nursing. Or 2. Or 3.

    osceteacher replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Manually primed a blood set then put it through the pump, unbeknownst to me this IV pump pushes a tiny amount of the fluid out of the end when it accepts the line. I was holding the IV set over the...

  2. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    osceteacher replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I love comments that critique obvious

  3. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    osceteacher replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Us Europeans will never understand Americans obsession with what another person does with their genitals, especially when based on books written thousands of years ago by men who had an understanding...

  4. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    osceteacher replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you shouldn't be able to and only the most tragically awful nurses and/or Christians would think such a

  5. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    Yeah, thats true, I don't see them running a ward ever, plus not doing IV's maybe there is a need for that pay distinction. I just feel its a bit tough on these guys. I'm super excited that they got...

  6. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    I just believe in equal pay for equal work, if they weren't solely accountable for their patients like a nurse is, I'd understand the disparity in pay otherwise I just don't get it. Maybe I'm being...

  7. Florida Board of Health Suspends Healthcare Licenses Over Student Loan Defaults

    osceteacher replied to Swellz's topic in Nursing News

    Can't pay your loans, lose your job until you pay your loans. Capitalism

  8. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    So the qualifier for band 5 payment is IV administration then? Seems an odd metric to me, having been part of the initial training program for this role I fail to see what else they don't do that a...

  9. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    osceteacher replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Its not just Nurses, republicans have long lamented the power of unions, I said this and was downvoted by 4 people who clearly don't understand how the world works and don't have the conviction to...

  10. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    Aye, I am definitely happy the role exists now, I am not sure sure about the 'best of the crop' thing. Personally I think they should have kept the Diploma but I'd rather see these guys paid a band...

  11. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    osceteacher replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Surprised it took a whole year for a Republican to push through anti-workers rights legislation. America in

  12. This is horrible

    osceteacher replied to Nitenurse03's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ?? Rest of the story is horrific

  13. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    As I said, I have no intention of belittling or disparaging enrolled nurses or the new NA's. I feel these guys are competent and capable enough to be band 5 registered nurses. The failed idea I talked...

  14. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I've said anything anywhere about planned parenthood so not sure why you're quoting me with this. I don't know how effective they

  15. Vaccination for clinical

    osceteacher replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Multitude of peer reviewed studies...Na. One quack

  16. Vaccination for clinical

    osceteacher replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I'm sad I'm from the same country as UKgirl, so much ignorance. This thread has been a hoot and has exceeded my

  17. NHS Apprenticeships

    osceteacher replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck its probably a duck. The NA role IS the enrolled Nurses, its a desperate ploy to prevent understaffing because they realised they messed up with the lack...

  18. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree with the idea that its good to hear from those who have experienced it, but it certainly wouldn't make me re evaluate my ethical position on something. Likewise if a person said what...

  19. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    The 1800s are missing

  20. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but just like everyone else we have the right to be argumentative. Basing your decision made in the 20th century on a 2000 year old book written by men who had only the most basic understanding...

  21. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    My wife's a neonatal sister, she's not convinced they feel pain at that age just like the science isn't, doesn't mean she doesn't treat them as they do. Of course you're going to use pain control...

  22. Virtual/Hallway patient

    osceteacher replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    Guess that's what happens when you run hospitals to make profits for

  23. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    A strawman argument is one thats built on something that doesn't exist. No one is saying its okay to kill a baby based on the premise it can't feel pain. At all. So to keep pushing that argument won't...

  24. Women's Right to Choose

    osceteacher replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Bit of a strawman, the argument from pro-life side is the foetus CAN feel pain and that pain is a reason to not do it. The Pro choice argument could argue (with minimal evidence to support it either...

  25. Virtual/Hallway patient

    osceteacher replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say for sure but I've never seen this kind of thing in the UK, I've seen similar stuff where for an hour you might have a patient on the ward stuck in the corridor while a transfer was happening...
