  1. How many babies are nameless after birth?

    delirium replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, true story, I wasn't named until I was about a week old. And my friend Marjorie was actually named Paulette until she was 8 years old. Then her mom went to court and changed it to Marjorie...

  2. Senior practicum/preceptorship

    delirium posted a topic in General Students

    Does your school have one? Ours is 90 hours, with an RN. Where are you going? What type of unit? I'm having a rough time picking an area. Our choices are pretty substandard now that Greater Southeast...

  3. Senior practicum/preceptorship

    delirium replied to delirium's topic in General Students

    That's the problem... none of the choices are really good. I can't honestly see myself working any of them. Our biggest hospital was Greater SE. Now we have suburban/rural hospitals to choose from,...

  4. that song that bashes nurses

    delirium replied to galenight's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't get the uproar. It gives me a headache. And way to go, Mattigan. It took me forever to learn the stuff around here, too... And uh, Pappy? You seem to be under the misguided impression...

  5. that song that bashes nurses

    delirium replied to galenight's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the song bashes nurses at all. She didn't say all nurses were b!tches, she said hers was. Get over it. Its just a freaking song. If you're so upset by the plight of nurses, go be...

    delirium replied to st4304's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Not that this has anything to do with antimicrobial anything, but I looooove the dalmation scope cover on that site. How cute! I'm going to buy one for my scope when I graduate and get my dream job at...

    delirium replied to Worthy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    On any other day, I would encourage you to follow your dream and do what you know in your heart you want to do. Anyone can succeed at anything if they set their mind to it, I truly believe that....

  11. Hardest class in Nursing school?

    delirium replied to nursing 101's topic in General Students

    The schedule always looks so much easier on paper, doesn't it? I'm famous for saying, "I can handle it!", and have a head full of gray hair in about a

  12. Hardest class in Nursing school?

    delirium replied to nursing 101's topic in General Students

  13. Eat, sleep, breathe nursing program???

    delirium replied to leslie_23's topic in General Students

  14. Eat, sleep, breathe nursing program???

    delirium replied to leslie_23's topic in General Students

    I disagree. With decent time management skills you should be able to do well in school and still have a life. I work full time while in the RN program, and I do just fine... its just important to...

    delirium replied to PGH70's topic in Psychiatric

    In my state, the police can bring in patients for psychiatric evaluation on 'emergency petition'. That means either the police think he/she is a danger to him/herself or others or someone else does....

  16. Shoe Question

    delirium replied to santhony44's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility, open backed shoes are banned for the same reason the open toed shoes are banned, for the safety of the person wearing them. That said, the OR staff still wears clogs. Go

  17. What or who was your inspiration for becoming a nurse?

    delirium replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My auntie K is a nurse, but she's the only one in my family. The person who inspired me to be a nurse is my oncology nurse practitioner who is amazing in so many ways. So many people, and families,...

    delirium replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. Palm Pilot software for nursing

    delirium replied to crnasomeday's topic in General Students

    Everything that you can put on a palm you can put on a handspring because they have the same operating system, Palm OS. In fact, I think all PDAs have that system... there are quite a few brands out...

    delirium replied to BJRN76's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Hi everyone! I know this is probably a stupid question, but I am only a nursing student and we haven't covered this yet. Could someone explain to me what an IABP is? This is a very interesting thread...
