  1. Help re Jehovah's Witness and death

    PANurseRN1 replied to nickismith72's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with meeting the healthcare needs of a

  2. Help re Jehovah's Witness and death

    PANurseRN1 replied to nickismith72's topic in General Nursing

    The only proscription is blood transfusions. Organ donation and bone marrow transplants are conscience decisions. There are "bloodless medicine" centers across the country that can do organ donation...

  4. eating our young?

    PANurseRN1 replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would be terrified if a manager told me something like that, no matter if I were new to the unit or a senior staffer. And, I repeat, experienced nurses are not computer programs; you don't just...

  5. Nurses & Hamburgers: Worth Dying For

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm usually very supportive of the Center for Nursing Advocacy, but I was deeply offended by the insensitive references to the Holocaust and 9/11. While the owner of the bar referred to the Arizone...

  6. Nurses Eat Their Young

  7. Blood patch

    PANurseRN1 replied to dragonflyaltoids's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A blood patch is used when a pt. has a small leak after a lumbar puncture that causes a "spinal headache." An 18g angio is inserted in the arm, and then the doc withdraws a small amount of blood then...

  8. Day vs. Night Shift

    PANurseRN1 replied to willdgate's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Again, another post that is rude toward older

  9. Day vs. Night Shift

    PANurseRN1 replied to willdgate's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What in the world is that supposed to

  10. New Nurses Trouble with Experienced Nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to AprylLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, we older, experienced nurses are just a hateful lot. We never help new nurses and we always look for any chance to knock them down a peg. No experienced nurses will ever help a new nurse. It's a...

  11. attempt to debunk misperceptions about direct entry

    PANurseRN1 replied to Gennaver's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Nice. Nursing school is hard, no matter what route you take. Just because some people come with a degree in another area doesn't make them better. If they graduate and pass NCLEX, it makes them what...

  12. Admitted I should step-down...your advice?

    PANurseRN1 replied to supernova004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would not call 9 different preceptors a good orientation. I call it punting the new grad off on one staff person after another. New grads need consistent preceptors. Preceptors need to be nurses who...

  13. Lowest of the Low

    PANurseRN1 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think you've bitten off more than you can chew. As a new grad, you're really just not ready to be in a charge position. This is the time for you to solidify your skills and build on the knowledge...

  14. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    PANurseRN1 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I was just going to say that we do this in the ED all the time. Her manner wasn't the greatest, though. Some of these laughs at others' expense show that the posters don't always know what they're...

  15. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    There is absolutely no need to disparage diploma nurses, Timothy. Diploma programs produced some darned good nurses. I went to one, and I sure don't remember being taught to be subservient, nor do I...

  16. American system of nurse education versus German training

    PANurseRN1 replied to German Karsten's topic in General Nursing

    FYI, it is a violation of TOS to post in a foreign language, and is rude to those who don't know that

  17. Tylenol 3 vs. Codeine.. Which medication do you administer first?

    PANurseRN1 replied to solumedrol's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and weirdly enough, when it is not combined with acetaminophen/ASA, it becomes as Schedule II narcotic, not a Schedule III as it is in combo with other

  18. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    haven't seen her. I guess after being so thoroughly bashed she gave up. I agree with Ruby. I don't understand how experienced nurses havingone forum is such a big deal and threat to students/students...

  19. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I was just thinking how Miranda gave a very nice, well-thought out reply, and the response from the OP was really uncalled for and downright rude. Oh well, just another

    precisely!

  21. Is there power in the color white?

    PANurseRN1 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    My bluntly honest response? There have been about 50,000 million threads about this, and you can probably find an answer to this question doing a "search." In fact, there's a current thread in this...

  22. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    i think you expressed yourself quite well, ruby! and you are right about forums directed toward pre-nursing students, nursing students, new grads and first-year nurses. i also fail to see how one...

  23. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    There's a big difference between your example and the "I have a diabetic patient. Help me write my care plan in NANDA format." I don't post in the "Male Nurses" forum (except for one time when someone...

  24. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I would point out, though, that there is a forum specifically dedicated for first-year nurses, as well as one for students. The description for each of these forums is that they are dedicated to the...

  25. RNs on my clinical unit are mean!

    PANurseRN1 replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

    And that's just the tip of the iceberg,
