Great article! I'm sharing it with my student nurse that I am currently working with in her preceptorship. I too have had that "moment"....and the "moment" when I finally got "the BIG picture" that my instructors had always been talking about - you...

Green. Cool, calm, collected.....green.

OK, so no lie...the tubing that goes from the window washing fluid to squirt onto the windshield of my truck broke off and got lost in travel. Husband called the parts store - not in stock, can order. I said, no problem, just happened to have IV tu...

Oh, it's hard alright. But let me be the first to say it-well worth the effort. I went back to nursing school after being out of any school for over 17 years. I had a 2 year old child, and I worked full-time. Now, I had a lot of support from my h...

How about a very up and coming potential "problem" in nursing? And that is that within the next decade (?) all states will probably mandate that all RN's be baccalaureate prepared. Several states have already mandated that RN's hold a BSN, and some...

I posted this thread a few days ago, and thought that I might hear from somebody...but was saddened to see only a handful of lookers, and no response. I wrote about a program, a future nurses club, that my hospital is starting - to work with student...

check that.....i have smoked for almost 34 years !!!!! oooh, that's bad!

I am a nurse, and I have smoked for 24 years. It's a nasty, filthy habit, and I truly hate it! I wish i never would have started in the first place. I beg to differ with those that believe that more nurses somke than not, but that has been my expe...

Just thought I would update on this topic. We have our Future Nurse's Club ready to roll out to students and parents mid August. We have met with students at their schools to determine interest (so far we have all but one of the county schools on b...

I am hoping to find someone who knows where I may find some information on Arnold Chiari Malformation. I have searched the internet, and it seems that most of the reading is too vague, not very in depth. For example, they talk about surgical correc...

Evieanne: Thanks for the info about the site with the tapes. Much thanks to everyone who has responded to share info, or websites to check out. I'm getting a lot of information by checking these out. Greatly appreciated !

i hear your frustrations loud and clear, and have felt every one of them myself for years. and for a long while, i thought exactly the same...should i continue on, could i continue on? i got sick and tired of hearing that we should stop complaining...

Go to www.medscape.com, "medscape today". Free CEU's in 1-4 hour increments. Just print text, and you can even go to test questions, print them, then when you go back online you just go to test questions, fill in answers, and print certificate. ...

I am frequently in the position to work with nursing students: during their clinical rotations, for their preceptorships, and then as new graduate nurses for their orientation period. I consider this assignment as an honor, and welcome every opport...

Thanks EricEnfermero...I haven't checked that site out yet. Fellow Neuro pt. aye?

Thanks for replying "former premie"! Yes, I've checked out quite a few ACM sites on the net, and have gotten quite a bit of information...I guess I just wanted them to be a little more specific. I am an RN - med/surg with quite a few years experien...

Just a quick sidetrack...LOVE the quote,hassled. I do a lot of orientations, and teaching....what good words to practice by!

NORD?

It doesn't make a whole hill of beans difference to me either way - even if I was working. I just adjust, I'm a nurse, that's something I do well. I'm pretty much a country bunkin, and I don't know of any farmers that around these parts that have a...

No, this option (to be presented) hasn't been brought up. Thanks for the great idea. I'll bring it up at our next core meeting, and I'm SURE it will be something we will probably incorporate into a guest speaker type of presentation. Great, great,...

I don't know anything at all about Army Health Care Recruiting - how that would all tie in here. We're one hospital working with high school students to introduce nursing as a profession.....unless....do you mean to propose the Army as another optio...

Oh yeah nurses are lining up alright! We currently have a "core" staff of around 25-30 nurses who are doing such "fun" things as designing the program writing the mission and vision statements, the bylaws, and setting up the officers (both within ou...

Oh Yeah, I've worked night shift too .... there's plenty of experiences to be had on nightshift. No, people don't just sleep all night. Nursing is a 24/7/365 deal - and that's because it has to be. You'll get good experiences! Good luck, and wel...

Thank you for a reply (finally)! And MUCH more thanks for your service to this great country - and to your family for the sacrifices you all make for me and my family. May God forever bless you!

Our hospital celebrates "Hospital Week"......and we all benefit all week long! Of course there are special gifts just for the nurses (and usually quite nice ones I might add), and other smaller gifts throughout the week. In addition, the administra...
