  2. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  3. All these nurses writing articles

    ArmyRntoMD replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    It’s such ******** “ACTIVATE CODE J. ACTIVATE CODE J” (okay guys I know we usually aren’t up to standard but make sure we are just until these goons

  4. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can I see a link to the study? I’ve only seen one study on the topic and it was wrought with flaws as far as being a valid study. Much like many “nursing studies”. I wish more nursing...

  5. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  6. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering the same. He’s previously said he left healthcare altogether. Did you wash out and are jaded as a

  7. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They won’t hire men for L&D at the hospitals near where I live, because they say women request a female nurse and it’s a logistical headache. Interesting that they have male doctors though

  8. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    ArmyRntoMD replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy my job sometimes, but I didn’t choose nursing as a career but as an intermediate. I was premed, but my father died and my mom needed help with her epilepsy needs so I chose nursing as an...

  9. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with some exceptions. I think nurses should be able to practice independently if there would not otherwise be a physician

  10. Catheterisation

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Riqta's topic in General Nursing

    Uhhh how many ways is there to hold a rubber

  11. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have not had that experience. I’ve been told by several hirers that they liked having men because were strong and can move patients easily. The feminine cliques are indeed annoying but the pay is...

  12. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    When’s the last time someone was ruined from being called... a boomer.. which is what they are.. lol. It’s in the name- “baby boomer”. When did our society grow so

  13. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    Why are people so easily offended today? I thought that was a youngster thing. “WAH I NEED MY SAFE SPACE!” ? Good

  14. Please...please...Help

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    I agree that a chemistry understanding is essential. I wonder why nursing is pushing towards all of this “community nursing/nursing theory” packed BSN rather than organic and biochemistry as well...

  15. How to effectively delegate in nursing on a unit

    ArmyRntoMD replied to starlitex1280's topic in General Nursing

    I bribed my CNAs. Buy them a star bucks or lunch once in a great while and it’ll amaze you at how much they help out. Was definitely worth the small amount of investment capital. My day went smooth...

  16. Gossiping Nurses

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Beau Wolf's topic in General Nursing

    Right. I confront nurses to their faces, but so many of the young ladies I worked with just LOVE to gossip. It’s a challenge working with a bunch of young women. Especially when they all get...

  17. Gossiping Nurses

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Beau Wolf's topic in General Nursing

    Eh what does telling the other nurse do? They’re not caring for your patients. Even if you gossip about their poor performance they’re still going to have patients. Other than reporting them to...

  18. Please...please...Help

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    You can choose not to use chemistry or physics for that matter in nursing but anything you know helps. Physics is great when it comes to understanding body mechanics, traction, etc, and chemistry...

  19. "The Nurse doesn't really DO anything" -Middle school students

    ArmyRntoMD replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    These particular nurses never did bedside. They said they did school nursing right out of school. I say every single nurse needs a year preferably 2-3 of bedside nursing to learn the

  20. Gossiping Nurses

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Beau Wolf's topic in General Nursing

    That’s actually not the case. I politely asked her if she had any ideas for room for improvement and was very polite. I always actively seek criticism because it’s the only thing that will make...

  21. Nursing shortage is BS

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    You have to watch them. I did PRN shifts at a well known LTAC that’s name means quite the opposite of what they delivered. It was quite “amiss” ? They tried to accuse myself and a few other...

  22. Please...please...Help

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    I wouldn’t say you “use” it, but just understanding how stuff works is good. Rather than just giving stuff with no understanding of how it works, or just Polly parroting blood gases and lab...

  23. Nursing shortage is BS

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    Best way to make money is just picking up shifts. My base is 30 an hour but I can make 70-90 when they need us bad enough. Just gotta work extra

  24. Increase in bad student behavior.

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    A lot of it is food allergies I’m willing to bet. I used to have a lot of behavioral issues as a young child (and my parents said I was the happiest baby when I was breast fed), long story short...

  25. Please...please...Help

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    You’ll never use chemistry as a nurse but knowing chem will help you know why you’re reconstituting with NS instead of deionized water etc. Everyone should know
