    School Shootings

    Medic_Murse replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Subjective Data. Depending on where you get it from, this website states it's much less... I don't like using the dead as an arguing point, but both sides are spitting in the wind. An article from...

    School Shootings

    Medic_Murse replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    You'll never see this in this day in age. Had my fair share of gym locker room brawls (what happened in the locker room stayed in the locker room). Some friends made, others just established...

    Day vs Night Personalities

    Medic_Murse replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    What would I say? Why are you working odd hours?!? GOSH! That's what I would say! (I've worked both 11-11/3-3 and haaaated 11-11. Get F'ed coming on shift all the way until you get off

    Hating Nursing Currently

    Medic_Murse replied to vanaly's topic in General Nursing

    As someone that worked in a hospital setting for several years (even during school), and in no way am I saying this is you, but I would always get a kick out of the students that had little to no...

    Legalities in Flight Emergencies

    Medic_Murse replied to MNRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I lost you here (I'm familiar with his youtube channel). Look, I like the music videos and the fact he is not a fan of Dr. Oz. Outside of that, I don't know the guy, I don't know how respected of a...

    Disorderly conduct charge

    Medic_Murse replied to baileej16's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    They're going to find out one way or another. It shows more maturity to be upfront and honest rather than hide something because once they find out you lied, to save your own backside? Game over and...

    Acute in patient psych gowns vs street clothes

    Medic_Murse replied to sister zyprexa's topic in Psychiatric

    I'll borrow from you, "Sorry, not sorry." 1) Department policy. 2) Ever have a patient that taped a straight blade to the underside of their ass (yes, this has happened)? Now, the socks part (My...

    Safety with dangerous pts

    Medic_Murse replied to Hazelgirl_06's topic in General Nursing

    I would raise these issues up with your manager and straight up the chain. Trust me, I know what goes on with some of the unruliest of patients (psych or not). When I worked night shift, there would...

    Acute in patient psych gowns vs street clothes

    Medic_Murse replied to sister zyprexa's topic in Psychiatric

    I can only speak from an ER perspective, but psych patients that come in, their room stripped of everything except the stretcher. The patients have to strip to their birthday suit, not even underwear...

    Rejected by 2 RN Residency Programs

    Medic_Murse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It's disheartening, I know! After school, I moved to an area that I thought would be in high demand, wroooong. It is highly competitive and cut throat, to get an entry level RN job. I was denied...

    Am I too old to start?

    Medic_Murse replied to chelzw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take your own advice. It's a simple question and doesn't need any antagonizing. Several people have wondered if they are too old to start a new career because the old rule use to be, once...

    Failed NCLEX

    Medic_Murse replied to Aforbiddenfruit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As several have said, Uworld is one of the best sites to use. In addition, I used NCSBN's NCLEX review, which is a go at your own pace study/test type of thing. Keep in mind, the review information...

    How long did it take to get first RN job?

    Medic_Murse replied to Sunshine54327's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the good luck! I'm finding that I'm in an area that has less than a handful of healthcare systems and they all prefer to hire internally. One interview I went on, the manager stated that...

    My mom is an RN and advises me not to become one

    Medic_Murse replied to Jen385's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sooooo....I skimmed through your post, as it was a wall of text and made me want to cry, so I'll just say this.... My father, retired military, refused to let me join the military stating all the...

    How long did it take to get first RN job?

    Medic_Murse replied to Sunshine54327's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a new grad myself, I feel your pain. I have years of experience between working pre-hospital and working in an ER as an EMT/Paramedic. I've been denied several jobs over and turned down for a...

    From Cop to Nurse

    Medic_Murse replied to blueline's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That depends on if you can make that work. Part time, at least where I have worked, you're required to work two 12 hour shifts a week. So, depending on the police schedule, it might work. The other...

    Intimidated by being only male

    Medic_Murse replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not trying to an a-hole, but I'm going to be an a-hole. Grow a pair. Those ladies are probably going to be some of the best individuals you've ever met and become some of the best buddies you've...

    From Cop to Nurse

    Medic_Murse replied to blueline's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Oh my friend, as a former cop (yes, I've had a lot of careers, shut up people!), I'll skip some steps here (program manager, EMT, Paramedic,) now a nurse, there is always room for a cop at the nurses...
