    One month until graduation: is this really going to happen?

    SharonH, RN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like I am spinning in circles. I have one month until graduation and I keep thinking that this is not really going to happen; that something is going to...

    Let's call Oprah

    SharonH, RN replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    So we agree on this. So my next question is the same as Nepro's: any suggestions? I was thinking about this myself. We actually do have organizations that support issues like the media image of nurse...

    Let's call Oprah

    SharonH, RN replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well that explains it. While it is true that she is not an investigative reporter, I'm guessing that is what you are looking for, it is not true to say that she does not have journalistic...

    Let's call Oprah

    SharonH, RN replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Let's be reasonable. I love Oprah but I realize that she has no obligation to save the nursing profession. I am not a big fan of us begging someone else to help us or to save us, it sounds so weak....

    kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    SharonH, RN replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    The preceptor at my last clinical was also in charge of student placements for clinicals. One of the things I have learned is how difficult it can be to get contracts with facilities and how delicate...

    CRNA so why not CRNS? Certified Register Nurse Surgeon? (devil's advocate)

    SharonH, RN replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Just a point of reference here: Anesthesia, unlike surgery, has always been the domain of nursing. The first anesthetists were nurses and they have been around for over 100 years. The same cannot be...

    Silliest Non-Emergency?

    SharonH, RN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't even read the rest of the thread but I think we have a winner

    How can I be assertive when it comes....

    SharonH, RN replied to Rivs's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's unfortunate that you didn't include this in your original post because it really does change the slant of the discussion. To be honest, it did sound as though you were singling out women as drama...

    One month until graduation: is this really going to happen?

    SharonH, RN replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That is exactly what I have went through. Exactly, those same types of fears, that something will go wrong. BUT I have good news to report, yesterday I took my final exam and I have finished clinicals...

    Diluting IV push

    SharonH, RN replied to RN2B07's topic in General Nursing

    I would not have diluted that. With such a small amount and since there were IVFs running, there was no need in this instance. You should check your hospital's policy on such a thing and in the...

    Nurse's Aid acting as a Nurse

    SharonH, RN replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    Quite honestly, I'm on Martha's side. Now she had no right to identify herself as a nurse and that is an issue that needs to be addressed but otherwise I do not see a problem with her actions. Issue...

    Blood Transfusions: How fast do you go?

    SharonH, RN replied to Genista's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi Kona. 150 ml/hr is not that fast even for a blood transfusion. I used to run blood transfusions in 2 hours, that is perfectly acceptable. I wouldn't be too put out by the patients' being rude,...

    Thanks a lot Steph, that means a lot coming from you. I think I'm going to go hit some weights. Maybe that will help me focus and settle down a

    SharonH, RN replied to ak47m203's topic in General Nursing

    They just had an update on that guy a couple of months ago and he was down to 400 lbs or something like that. I'll try to google

    Prednisone

    SharonH, RN replied to FLoridarnl's topic in General Nursing

    An incident report is simply a mechanism for the facility to have a record of the event so that if there was a lawsuit, they would have a report of it; which by the way is not discoverable and cannot...

    Prednisone

    SharonH, RN replied to FLoridarnl's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, you're neither! Would you prefer to get flogged for it? Do you think you are perfect and are above making a mistake? These things happen, you really need to move on if this happened months...

    What are those little lab diagrams called?

    SharonH, RN replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    He-he. And I thought they applied to rose trellises. But the guy who wrote the handy little book that I am studying for finals from called it a "lattice format". I guess the real test would be is if...

    male nurses in OB

    SharonH, RN replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    You betcha. Not to mention, it was just plain silly. Did you need to have a heart condition to work on telemetry? Or cancer to work in

    male nurses in OB

    SharonH, RN replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely. Sad thing, young boys are molested at almost the same rate as young girls but I see far less attention paid to their emotional

    male nurses in OB

    SharonH, RN replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    If a guy wants to work in OB, then more power to him because I sure don't want to do

    Professionalism in Nursing

    I think the most important way to promote professionalism is to role model professional

    ethnic question

    SharonH, RN replied to firstclass's topic in General Nursing

    It's too bad that you don't feel you can proudly answer questions about your ethnicity. Just try to remember that most people (certainly not all) may ask as a way of getting to know you better, or...
