  1. Nursing/healthcare Providers Moral Obligation

    PANurseRN1 replied to novanurse05's topic in General Nursing

    Is this some sort of class

  2. Crisis in confidence

    PANurseRN1 replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    The problems you describe suggest you should see a doctor, sooner rather than later. It sounds like there's more going on than just a crisis in

  3. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    PANurseRN1 replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with this. One of the reasons I detested the Johnson and Johnson ads (haven't seen any in a while) was due to the emphasis on "nurses as angels." There were a few episodes of "ER"...

  4. new nurse on orientation

    PANurseRN1 replied to fredyjen's topic in General Nursing

    Could we please refrain from playing the "blame game"

  5. Belittled

    PANurseRN1 replied to NicoleRN07's topic in Emergency

    Certainly document true errors. I would not get into an argument with the doc at the pt bedside, though; that's unprofessional and not in the pt's best interests. (Before anyone asks, yes, I do work...

  6. "Good Sam" Laws?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Since when did we start ordering people we disagee with to "edit" their posts? NREMT-P/RN's post was highly accurate, and he/she speaks from years of

  7. If you are a member of the ANA...

    PANurseRN1 replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    I was, but got tired of paying several hundred dollars a year to be insulted since my education is deemed inferior to them (just a puny diploma grad). I get more out of membership from specialty...

  8. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's go back to the second para. of the OP: In spite of the clinical picture, the HHN felt the situation was non-emergent. She activated 911 because she and the family didn't want the pt to "have...

  9. How can you get your license suspended in 3 states in 1 Year!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Balder_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a cruel post. Obviously, the nurse involved has some serious problems. They have been dealt with. End of story. This is another example of how students bash nurses. The OP is not yet a...

  10. Would you prepour meds for nursing assistant to admin later??

    PANurseRN1 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check what your SBON states. I wouldn't feel comfortable with it,

  11. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not getting the connection between what Dutch EMS crews are doing and what we do

  12. Psych nursing as a new grad?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blacksheep's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I am posting my personal experience, not just what someone told me. Part of the problem is when a nurse stays in psych for many years before switching. Fortunately, I left after 4y, so i wasn't...

  13. Psych nursing as a new grad?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blacksheep's topic in General Nursing

    As I pointed out, it can be done, but it is difficult. I went one day from dealing with psychotics to dealing with very sick peds. pts. I now work in ED and same day surgery. It is difficult, but not...

  14. Psych nursing as a new grad?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blacksheep's topic in General Nursing

    My first job as an RN was as a psych nurse. I did it for 4y, then moved on to acute care. I won't lie...the transition was difficult, and if I could have a do-over, I might not do it the same. But the...

  15. Overnight Visting

    PANurseRN1 replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    If the visitors cause more work for the staff, or if the pt has a roommate, sorry...when visiting hours are over they should

  16. Posters that are not nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I think it is simply not valid for someone who has no experience in an area to tell the experienced person "You should have done this/you should have done that..." I don't work in an...

  17. Terrifying Article

    PANurseRN1 replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously.

  18. Posters that are not nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    It's one thing to post a different idea/perspective; quite another when those individuals

  19. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Batteried? Duracell or Energizer? Imagine this: Pt says ' I don't want Cipro 400mg IV, I want 350mg instead." The pt was not battered in that the pt was willing to accept O2 in the first place. If the...

  20. why does the nursing profession have a lot of drama?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Oh brother. Here we go

  21. Posters that are not nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Roy, I posted that before I read your

  22. Posters that are not nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    My feelings exactly. Time to let the girl speak of for herself. You can't homeschool a nursing program. At some point she's going to need to stand on her own two feet. I found a few of her comments...

  23. Can students be helpful, or are they just in the way?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Megsd's topic in General Nursing

    Plus, you assume that her comment was directed at you. I can think of half a dozen reasons she said that, and none of them would have anything to do with

  24. Can students be helpful, or are they just in the way?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Megsd's topic in General Nursing

    For heaven's sake, cut her some slack. She was having a horrendous day. The bottom line is, the patient was her priority. you've had good clinical experiences but now you're detailing an isolated bad...

  25. Posters that are not nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Why do students assume that because someone has been a nurse for many years, his/her knowledge is out of date and not based on research? Do they think we just got our diplomas and stopped...
