  1. Blood specimen from iv sites.

    osceteacher replied to omotee's topic in General Nursing

    This study suggests its safe and that the result won't be affected by it. This study shows that it doesn't have a big impact on replacement rates and/or dwell time. So if you're using evidence based...

  2. If you could start all over, would you choose nursing again?

    osceteacher replied to FutureMrDrNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it TODAY, but I don't regret going in to nursing 15 years ago. The reasons why I don't recommend this profession is poor pay compared to the stress and workload as well as a rapidly...

  3. Where Were You...9/11

    osceteacher replied to Daisy4RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was working at Tescos, I remember the silence in the canteen. This and Princess Di are two events that really stick in my mind, even more so than say 7/7 here in London. I had been ambivalent to...

  6. Nmc decision letter (UK)

    osceteacher replied to leyton's topic in Nurse Registration

    I do 3rd party stuff for our candidates, you're definitely not alone. The NMC are a waste of space, although I will say the guys on the 3rd party phonelines are actually fairly efficient at sorting my...

  7. Nursing in the UK - Is it a Right Choice?

    osceteacher replied to arunkumarsbcn's topic in United Kingdom

    Statistically speaking the numbers show more nurses leaving the register than previous years but this is multifaceted. I would argue that the Tory government has made the NHS infinitely less...

    osceteacher replied to BecksRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you know about the bird? Thought everyone knows about the bird. Birds the

  10. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    osceteacher replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in a builders merchants and when I announced I was going to Brighton to do my nurse training I was mocked relentlessly with homophobic jokes. Now I am not a softy, I took this for the...

  11. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    osceteacher replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not one of my friends suffered any of those diseases, are you using this as a defense against or for vaccines? I'm not sure why you think people who KNOW your viewpoint is both unscientific and...

  12. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    osceteacher replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Jihadist in tone...I mean, I could understand evangelical to a point, but Jihadist seems like a pretty stupid analogy. I don't really care about fueling their paranoia, they're dangerous to society...

  13. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    osceteacher replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I can't work in a place that treats my filipnio friends like 3rd class

  14. Working as pre-registered nurse?

    osceteacher replied to USRNtoUK2018's topic in United Kingdom

    Our overseas nurses are band 4, so you may find some discrepancies between pay and support. Just be careful where you

  15. Future of EU nurses after Brexit

    osceteacher replied to danxthenurse's topic in United Kingdom

    Its probably wise, I am convinced they'll make you do the OSCE but I could be wrong, best not to risk it in my

  16. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    osceteacher replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, we give all our nurses at least 60 days to practice, I think our fastest start to pass is just under 2 months, but the average is more. Our lowest amount of paid study time is 60 hours, our most...

  17. Future of EU nurses after Brexit

    osceteacher replied to danxthenurse's topic in United Kingdom

    In my opinion they'll make you do the OSCE exam like the overseas nurses. My belief for this is because currently the NMC make millions a year from over seas nurses, there is no way they are going to...

  18. Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

    osceteacher replied to Misstika's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    This reminds me of a recent BBC documentary where they swabbed trolleys and found a load of microbes, I imagine most of it is scaremongering about dirty money. I mean, you have people suggesting opiod...

  19. Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    osceteacher replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, yeah those 2 people concern

  20. What just happened?!

    osceteacher replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Good job handling it how you should

  21. Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    osceteacher replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    You've made a really weird leap here where you're equating random strangers in a toilet to the nurse-patient relationship. But my real issue is the part about taking a blood pressure 'your patient...

  22. Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    osceteacher replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I wear gloves if I'm giving tablets. But I probably need to touch less than 5% of the drugs I ever give

  23. Is this legal?

    osceteacher replied to KJP727503's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, its a no from me. Actually a HELL NO! For real? I don't care if its legal or illegal, I'm not putting my signature on anything from months

  24. Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    osceteacher replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    You admitted to not wearing an apron every time, I'd be inclined to say there's a discrepancy in your rationale if you're only taking 50% of the precautions. Why not go the full hog and wear a face...

  25. Gloves? Is this acceptable?

    osceteacher replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in General Nursing

    An interesting study showing that as much as 80% of gloves in a non sterile box had elements of bioburden. And another here on ortho wards. It was quite interesting to see a study on non sterile v...
