  1. Myers-Briggs Type

    PANurseRN1 replied to piscesguy's topic in General Nursing

    I am on the border on INTJ and INFJ; just depends on how the questions are worded. I am very much an internal processer. I think before I speak...sometimes people get irritated and say, "Did you hear...

  2. The History of Plan B (and why I support OTC)

    PANurseRN1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You might not, but there are plenty of other people who would say you did. Apparently, women are just "vessels" to

  3. I don't know how to feel about this

    PANurseRN1 replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    It was a great call, positive outcome or

  4. Who feels new grads should definately start on med/surg unit?

    PANurseRN1 replied to jenalv's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think home health nursing/community health is a good place for a new grad. You need to have solid assessment and technical skills and be able to make decisions independently. You will need to...

  5. BEST on-line for uniform scrubs

    PANurseRN1 replied to stressedout1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    As I said in an earlier post, I cannot say enough good things about this

  6. Experienced Nurses! Hardened heart?

    PANurseRN1 replied to discobunni's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here we go again. Yet another thread about the big bad experienced nurses. How would you feel about a thread: "New Grads: Idealistic and Unrealistic"? You can be a brand new nurse and be...

  7. Does this bother you?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. Personally, I wouldn't want some teeny-bopper responsible for putting the chemicals on my head that make my hair its lovely "natural *****." We have to advocate for our profession...

  8. Does this bother you?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. That's an urban legend; a simple trip to snopes.com will tell you as much (plus a host of other sites if you Google

  9. I don't know how to feel about this

    PANurseRN1 replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    I understand feeling conflicted about this situation. However, your skills at least gave the baby a chance. You also must have been good enough at communicating your assessment to the doctor that he...

  10. Family in or out during procedures???

    PANurseRN1 replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    It can be done. I had a very pushy family that tried to force their in to see a relative. I told them I would call them into the room when I was done assessing the pt. Period. No amount of cajoling,...

  11. Family in or out during procedures???

    PANurseRN1 replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    What did the pt. want? Personally, I would have laid down the law and made them leave; I'd have called security if necessary. A foley is way too intimate a procedure to have family members standing...

  12. Had My First Med Error Tonight :(

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! Poor pupper

  13. Looking for advice...

    PANurseRN1 replied to BrendaTXRN's topic in General Nursing

    Way too many legal

  14. Unfair Exam Practices

    PANurseRN1 replied to angel5113's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This was the first thing that came to my mind. I would not want to be treated by an NP who had so little clinical experience. No slam on the OP intended, but I question how skilled an NP can be as a...

  15. Is this Reportable

    PANurseRN1 replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in General Nursing

    Or as long as it's noted as a "late

  16. PACU RN's- what is your visitor policy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to RN34TX's topic in PACU

    Families in PACU, families at the bedside during codes...what next? Shall we offer families to option of scrubbing in to observe during surgery? I guess I'm showing my age. I'm all for family...

  17. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    PANurseRN1 replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    Nice dodge. You didn't answer the question, but that was a terrific evasion...an almost Nixonian "non-answer

  18. New Grad-What should I do?

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

    The problem is, her struggles with the English language should not be comprosmising pt. care and adding an additional burden to her co-workers. You can see just from her post that English is not her...

  19. Being Judgemental Doesn't It Give Nurses A Bad Rap?

    PANurseRN1 replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even sure what the point of this thread

  20. What does RN mean?!?!?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Matt000's topic in General Nursing

    According to your profile, you're a nursing student here in the USA. If so, how can you possibly not know

  22. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    PANurseRN1 replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    PTs have a minimum education at the masters level. Maybe a PT doesn't respond in a code, but you can't say they don't save lives. Their work with stroke pts. alone can be life-saving. I agree that...

  23. PACU RN's- what is your visitor policy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to RN34TX's topic in PACU

    I work in day surgery, but I can tell you how our PACU works. If it's a peds. pt., they allow a parent to come back. If there is only one pt. in PACU and a family member wants to go back, they usually...

  24. I can't find a job!!!!! AHAHHA
