  2. What is Nursing?

    CCU NRS replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    CCU NRS replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    OK I agree whole heartedly that it may be nothing and dad may just be a dork! But sometimes abusers use things that make children very scared, Like telling her that if she ever tells she will be taken...

  6. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

  8. Someone Please talk to ME....I am Brokenhearted

    CCU NRS replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is the threads like this one that show how nurses can pull together and take care of one another, it does my heart good to see. We often have heated debate but when one ofour number is low and...

  9. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that the instructor has put a student into a potentially culpable situation and put the entire case in even greater jepordy by having a student perform in a very questionable manner, for one...

    CCU NRS replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is always hard when we lose one but it must be especially hard in your circumstances. I can only offer support and a shoulder to cry on I am available anytime for venting via email, PM, IM, or this...

  11. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

  12. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    To me the points are that a student was asked to perform this task with an instructor saying it happens all the time, which may or may not be true but it is as far as I am concerned left up to each...

  13. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    I may be wrong but the post I was responding to did not seem to be jest to me looking back I see the chuckling man in front of it and the party guys at the end so perhaps you are right or perhaps the...

  14. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    So can we assume that you may kill anyone in your care that you believe to be a child molester? Or would you include murderers? How about spouse abuse will be the one to go ahead and deliver a lethal...

  15. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    One other thing that bothered me is the mentioning of the Pt being a child molester, this does not factor into care in any way shape form or fashion, we are not here to judge Pts we are here to...

  17. Bathing a 7 y/o

    CCU NRS replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    CCU NRS replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    Well number one you did not list a drug name so we can't tell if the dose would be lethal secondly a student should never be asked to this. If a person on staff is comfortable with this dose and can...

    CCU NRS replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I did not read the entire thread but I will just ask why she doesn't shower herslf? My chidren did their own shower or bath from about 5/6 both daughters. On a more serious note I think you should...

  20. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    CCU NRS replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I did not read the entire thread but my take is they are only hurting themselves, they will not be able in any way shape or form to cheat on Board for licensure, so when the time comes and they don't...

  24. Malpractice Insurance pros vs cons

    CCU NRS replied to veetach's topic in Emergency
