    Are Braids Professional?

    Braids aren't the issue. It's the length that's the issue. I would wear my hair to the interview in the style I would wear it to work...braids pulled up or pulled back not to fall onto people or...
  3. OMG..You did it again!!:):) No one is ever JUST a staff nurse. Wipe that thought from your mind. Take a deep breath, enjoy your job and give yourself time to even begin to mature as a nurse. Just...
  4. Thank you wtbcrna: I have no idea what these people are talking
  5. Sorry but I would have been taken to task for not introducing myself in some vague catagory like that. That's a sloppy practice. Besides we have our names and category on our scrubs at the...

    right med, right dose, wrong route... ouchhhh

    The anesthesia literature for YEARS has supposed the concept of reporting your error to the patient with apologies and let them know what strategies will be utilized so that it doesn't happen again....

    I've never seen an article from the ANA in a newspaper alerting the public to what working conditions have become for the staff and steps that can be taken to make hospital stays safer. If our...

    Michigan HPRP newbie

    I had checked the HPRP website a few years ago when I moved here, and there was absolutely no information available without a log-in. That struck me that it might be a punitive program since they...

    Forced Organ Donations from Living Donors???!!!!

    I had read years ago that organs were harvested from the victims of Tiananmen Square ...all those young student kidneys. And our president speaks highly of Xie. The Chinese have enough problems...

    Dry, Cracked Hands

    Yes, this! I found out through skin testing I was allergic to the dimethicone in almost ALL the moisturizers I was using and had to start researching labels closely. I used to get bleeding cracks...

    One NP with online education

    Kooky: This is only meant in a spirit of "they're so cute when they're young:" The reason ICU experience wasn't required in the 70's was because ICU's weren't extensive yet. My 400 bed hospital had...
  14. It took about a year, but retirement cured mine. Lidocaine patches helped me plus Tylenol before
  15. Back in the days before you were born, I really, really wanted to get an OR new grad program. I went for an interview there and we were interviewed as a group of 5! I ended up working at Maimonides...

    BSN to MD

    This is a nursing website, not a physician's site so there are no MD's here to answer your question. I applied to med school a while back and a nursing degree is NOT a help but nor is it a...
  17. CRNA's have more anesthesia class hours devoted exclusively to anesthesia than the docs have. We can only use hours actually in the OR our totals for graduation while anesthesia residents can add up...

    One NP with online education

    Students shouldn't have to shop to avoid a sub-par school. It's up to nursings' accreditation procedures to make sure that students don't get fleeced. Everybody thinks their own school has a good...

    One NP with online education

    All wonderful questions that will require years of research for answers. But meanwhile when MD's find out that one can become an NP on line, it just gives them ammunition. And I'm someone who used a...

    One NP with online education

    Geez. I just accused someone else of nurse bashing on another thread:) The point of the thread is: why are we asking so much more of nurses and cheating them of the education they are paying for?...

    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Hate the term "male nurse"...implies that they only care for males:) If we just applied the term "Nurse" to ourselves, it would be a better world. The more men to choose to nurse we have, the...
  23. And how would you know that since you don't have a BSN? More
  24. If I were just the regular everyday Joanna, I would think from your initials that you are an LPN. Only nurses know what a BSN is for the most part. Are you a fancy LPN with some other degree? Why...
