    Unfair Grading

    Hannahbanana replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    But it does definitely have something to do with developmental stages. Besides, we weren’t discussing the autism spectrum in the people described. Or were

    Hannahbanana replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I worked agency for several years between divorce and remarriage because I had to accommodate single parenting two very little littles and weird visitation schedules. Long story. But one thing the...

    I don’t want to work extra!

    Hannahbanana replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I looked, nursing supervisors were RNs. You give the supervisor report, and then you go. It is not abandonment if you do not agree to stay. It’s the hospitals job to staff their units....

    Vaccination Mandating

    Hannahbanana replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The journalism community has been coming to terms with the idea of false equivalency, and the several posts related to this one demonstrate why false equivalency, while superficially seductive, is a...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Hannahbanana replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The question to ask is not, "Why are so many nurses against unions?" It's, "Why aren't all nurses FOR unions?" Where we are, it's not remotely "so many" who are leery of union representation. The ones...

    Giving abx in 100 ml NS instead of 50 ml

    Hannahbanana replied to autumn_blue's topic in General Nursing

    The amount or type of the diluent isn't as important as the time frame over which it is run. Xmg/30 minutes, whether Xmg is in 50cc or 100 cc or 250cc, that's what ID cares about for serum...

    Master's Program and HIPAA

    RN Meeting With Corporate Compliance Over "Privacy Matter" Looking for Advice

    Hannahbanana replied to EDNurseCleveland's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'd insist that your manager be present, at very least. The system should indicate that you had no contact with PHI. This would be no different from calling up OH and asking, "Hey, have you heard from...

    Pregnancy after COVID vaccine?

    Hannahbanana replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just read a paper that noted increasing pregnancy losses being seen in unvaccinated pregnant women. Considering its vascular effects, you have to wonder about that

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Hannahbanana replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    … but it shouldn’t be so hard to make off-line connections if we want to. I think the mods may be a little too tight on that, but I’d be willing to hear a better

    Pregnancy after COVID vaccine?

    Hannahbanana replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    EVERYBODY is vulnerable to this infection. As for fertility effects, I'm way past menopause, so if I get pregnant, I'm in very deep doo-doo. VAERS would definitely hear from me. Get your...

    Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    Hannahbanana replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When? When they're all dead or long-term sick, or enough of them are dead or long-term sick that it gets everybody else's attention, oer every employer requires vaccination (this is proving up to 98%...

    IVPB simultaneous or not?

    Hannahbanana replied to Lvl4andcounting's topic in General Students

    I'm going to disagree here. I think this question isn't just about whether you can add up three liters plus 500cc, or do you subtract it or not, or which 4 1/2 hours are we talking about here? The...

    Nurses have to know so much - partly play the role of doctor and pharmacist!

    Hannahbanana replied to Nunurse0821's topic in General Students

    This concept extends out of the hospital realm as well. As a legal nurse consultant I can't testify on physician (or pharmacy) standard of care but I can sure as heck recognize it when I seet it, good...

    Vasovagal syncope as sole reason for nursing school dismissal

    Hannahbanana replied to Mom.6's topic in General Students

    There are treatments for this. Perhaps the faculty would be more inclinced to review an adverse decision if she embarked on one or two, rather than relying on just one MD opinion (which may or may not...

    Should I become a nurse if I don't like bedside care?

    Hannahbanana replied to Sweetjen09's topic in General Students

    In the last twenty-seven years I have had many excellent jobs in nursing, and the only feces, vomitus, urine, and blood I've seen has been at home, LOL. Well, OK, my mother had a J-P drain after a...

    Recommendations of courses/certifications before clinicals?

    Hannahbanana replied to luv_clyde's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Of all those I’d recommend work as a CNA, which will give you practice in the patient-handling aspects that students are most uneasy about. It will also give you appreciation for time management,...
