  1. Request for pain meds and then asleep

    PANurseRN1 replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have given the pain med. Sleep can be an escape mechanism when pts. have pain, and it's also possible the pt. was exhausted from her pain. She must not have been sleeping that soundly if she...

  2. As the Stomach Turns: Drama in the Workplace

  3. As the Stomach Turns: Drama in the Workplace

    PANurseRN1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    This bears repeating. God forbid something should happen to you or your co-workers. And there's always the possibility that she could go on a bender and hurt someone. If it got out that you had prior...

  4. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I really hope you're not referring to caroladybelle. She is the last person here who would attack/harrass anyone. Just because she states her opinion directly and that opinion happens to differ from...

  5. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    These types of threads remind me of when you're watching a horror movie with a mad slasher hiding in a closet. For some reason, someone always feels the need to look in the closet, and you find...

  6. Are LVNs being hired in your hospital or only RNs hired?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in California Nursing

    Oops...sorry, I didn't realize this was a thread r/t nursing in

  7. Are LVNs being hired in your hospital or only RNs hired?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in California Nursing

    The hospitals in my area are phasing out LPNs. New LPNs aren't being hired, and those who leave are replaced with RNs (if the position isn't eliminated). Sorry I can't be more

  8. As the Stomach Turns: Drama in the Workplace

    PANurseRN1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Don't even joke like that. Since you can't involve the BON, the police should be notified. She stole drugs. She made threats against the staff. If that doesn't beg for police involvement, I don't know...

  9. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    CNA is not a rung on the ladder of professional nursing, no more than a CMA is a step on the ladder of being a physician. No one disputes the importance of good CNAs, but they are not on a par with...

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    How's about statements like

  11. As the Stomach Turns: Drama in the Workplace

    PANurseRN1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Marla, you must call the BON and the police. For one thing, you have a license of your own to protect, not to mention your personal safety. Also, this woman could be a danger to herself. Getting the...

  12. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    You can't be serious about the J&J ads. For pity's sake, they are the worst kind of offender. They make nursing all about caring, hand holding, soft touches, etc. Absolutely no brains needed, just...

  13. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Even if they would read it, they would discount it, because you are a "lesser nurse," SBE. Not in my opinion, of course, but as far as they're considered, your POV simply doesn't matter. They really...

  14. Worried about disqualification in June 2006 Philippine Board Exam!

    PANurseRN1 replied to spotbanded's topic in General Nursing

    Straight from the TOS: English Language Only While this bulletin board hosts visitors from around the world, it is based in the United States and much of our membership is English speaking. Due to our...

  15. Worried about disqualification in June 2006 Philippine Board Exam!

    PANurseRN1 replied to spotbanded's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it a violation of TOS to post in a foreign language? Non-Tagalog speakers wouldn't be able to read a good portion of what you're

  16. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    PANurseRN1 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Is there ageism in nursing? You bet your bippy. Just look at the innumerable threads here, full of disdain for "older" nurses. It's

  17. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Join the specialty organization that represents the area you work in. If the CNA is not in your state, join as an associate member. I think of the ANA much like the "Empire" in Star

  18. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    They certainly don't want to represent lowly bedside nurses. It's all about advanced practice or lobbying for their preferred political candidates. The average nurse just doesn't interest

  19. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Ain't that the truth! Even here, hardly anyone mentions diploma nurses. Some of us actually turned out quite well, thank you very

  20. Losing sleep over lack of job offers, is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

    PANurseRN1 replied to pa0723's topic in General Nursing

    I do not understand why people say "home health is so much easier/less stressful." You have to have darned good clinical and assessment skills, be able to function independently (no one around for a...

  21. Preload, Afterload, Contractility

    PANurseRN1 replied to VickyRN's topic in Cardiac

    This made me LOL, but it is an excellent

  22. Non christian RN @ Catholic hospital?

    PANurseRN1 replied to maolin's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. I went to a nursing program based in a Catholic hospital. Every morning at 0800 a nun would recite the "Hail Mary" over the PA system. I'm not Catholic, but after the first year, I...

  23. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Do you honestly think that master's prepared nurses would want to work at the bedside? Really, truly? I'm more inclined to believe in the Tooth

  24. NLN Appoints new CEO for 2007: Dr. Beverly Malone

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is this the same Beverly Malone who cut and ran during the middle of her term as the president of ANA and then went to England to preside over the RCN, only to make enemies there?...

  25. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    Twenty years? What medical school are you talking about? I can't think of any residency that takes that long! Good grief, the doc would be in his late 30s-early 40s til he/she's just starting!...
