  1. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I haven't been bedside in years! My post was reminiscing ? But yes I have asked that, and that's usually where the truth was discovered. Except once as I recall, when the answer was "I went to...

  2. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I am completely envious! I would have given my eyeteeth for a patient who had this person as a family

  3. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    Waiting for Retirement replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    Are you by any chance a student and giving us a scenario you are supposed to be offering your input on, and asking our opinions to help clarify your own? This sounds like one of those...

  4. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to why you "don't believe in it for yourself". Is it the sometimes low efficacy rate? If that's it, it would seem to me that even in those years you have a demonstrated measure of...

  5. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    looks like someone was watching too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy

  6. Any ex Premeds?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    Gotcha. Interesting, as the only knowledge I have of it is from those who didn't have issues getting residencies and honestly I can't believe ALL of them were top of their classes, but who knows....

  7. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, might not be mental illness, but I'd definitely agree with self-confidence issues and feelings of inferiority /self-worth being in question. Guess I should stop the Web Shrink thinking before I...

  8. Any ex Premeds?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    I saw a few comments like this on this thread and am curious; I have known and worked with several doctors (MDs) who went to schools in the Caribbean and are excellent physicians. In the few times it...

  9. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    This thread reminds me of a patient who had a family member who visited daily, she wasn't normally in this person's life but as she had traveled to see him she was now visiting him on his unexpected...

  10. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Waiting for Retirement replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. If I'm with the patient (it's a family member of mine) I'm usually quiet unless the staff start explaining things and then I let them know I'm a nurse so they don't have to start at Step One....

  11. Do you consider an infiltrated IV a medical emergency

    Waiting for Retirement replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    Closest thing I ever had to an "emergency" with an IV infiltrate was when I was still at bedside; I'd gotten report on a patient with a slow-running NS IVF, no issues. Then I saw the patient on my...

  12. I got my license number but it said I failed

    Waiting for Retirement replied to michaud70's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How do you know if they had very hard questions? They just said the kind of question, not how difficult it was. Multiple choice and SATA questions can be super easy too. Just a

  13. NCLEX bad pop up !!!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Lona's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I saw this thread literally underneath another one that said "Pearson Vue Trick Didn't Work!" It looks like it's a trick or game you're playing that doesn't mean much. Hopefully by now you know the...

  14. I got my license number but it said I failed

    Waiting for Retirement replied to michaud70's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would think if you have an active license number from the board of nursing you must have passed..? Otherwise how would you get a license if you

  15. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    off topic, but I would totally go to your practice if you did this!

  16. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    While I support any and everyone's right to an opinion, I do not support the spreading of misinformation. Opinions based on errors in understanding of material or lack of complete knowledge on a...

  17. Finish the Toon!

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It seems Big Pharma was right, measles ARE contagious....if only there was a

  18. Failed 9 times, need to retake out of state

    Waiting for Retirement replied to DSVital_Asset1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some things to consider: if you do become licensed in another state you will need your own state's board of nursing to allow you an endorsement so you can work in your own state. If they see the...

  19. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    NursingStudent, Asystole, thank you both for your thoughts. I wish I did know "THE" answer to all of this, I suppose I'd be very rich in implementing this solution! I appreciate the exchange of...

  20. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    Not one single person here has made a comment against protecting the elderly. You are wrong in saying they/we have. These are not "one sided comments", there are many thoughtful and concerned posts...

  21. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. While Steve is angry and has every right to be angry, directing the anger toward people who agree with him that abuse must stop doesn't help anyone. He's said a number of times that no one...

  22. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi Steve, would first like to say I am so sorry your mother experienced this horror and your family's suffering is obviously immense. I can't even imagine how I'd feel---or more accurately I CAN...

  23. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Waiting for Retirement replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me if this sounds stupid but is there such a thing as synthetic gelatin that can/may be used for medications? Maybe by now it's even the norm? No idea, just thinking out

  24. Contract at Full Time Place of Employment

    Waiting for Retirement replied to mapets's topic in General Nursing

    I would think the Department of Labor in your area (county? state?) could answer this for you most accurately. They at least will tell you what the minimum requirements are for OT and whether what...

  25. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    Waiting for Retirement replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wondering what that might look like: "Dear Admissions Committee, I have met the applicant and she appears to be a very self-confident and knowledgeable young woman; she is even a self-taught expert...
