  1. Who would you take a verbal order from?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to longhornfan1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hopefully the BON will get involved which would lead to the BOM getting involved. This practitioner is allowing this and therefore shares the

  2. Rudeness from EMTs and Paramedics

  4. Who would you take a verbal order from?

    I think this person has 2 jobs. While working at the LTC facility, patients from her other job are calling her and that she is taking phone calls for the doctor. If I understand (which is a BIG...

  5. Therapy for prospective psych nurses?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to mrs.captain.kangaroo's topic in Psychiatric

    I think that any additional experience or education is a great thing. But I don’t think that this would be a thing for RNs to have to do mandatory. The reason is… that type of therapy is outside...

  6. Rudeness from EMTs and Paramedics

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to longhornfan1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Who would you take a verbal order from?

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to longhornfan1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think the reason I am confused is because this is a thread with multiple topics and I must not understand the gist of them. The problem I think that might occur is that we have 50 states and 50...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to New2ER's topic in Psychiatric

    Good question! Also a great learning experience with asking other nurses. I have found that "seasoned" nurses take short cuts that I know should not be done. I learned that leason and now I always...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to Gendequitee's topic in Psychiatric

  16. Rounding up grades

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to kakalika's topic in General Students

    Ours goes to the hundreths place. No rounding. I had a class end at 92.97 and miss the A by 3/100th of a point. I could have puked. Oh well. I can laugh about it now. Well... not really but I figure...

  20. Eww white uniforms??

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    IMHO, there is nothing wrong with saying you hate wearing white scrubs. It is just a personal choice. I did not like them either because I thought they were impractical. Luckily I was able to...

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to BoogiePop's topic in Psychiatric

  22. Tricky test question on nutrition

    PsychNurseWannaBe replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I first read the post I immediately thought fats as well. But then I over thought and started thinking bonds and polarity and mixing with salivia. I'm good with the answering being fats.
