  1. Chewing gum after colectomies

  3. What is your opinion of this situation?

    I love this idea as well. I think I would also write a letter to the Dean of the colege and let him know how the matter was handled and that you don't appove of the method used. It will at least...
  4. I'm not woman, hear me roar!

    I think that many people in all workforces can be competitive, but 99% of them will back down if you PROPERLY confront them... Actually confront is a bad word for it. It's actually negotiate. Learn...
  5. Many foods that you buy are marked with one of several symbols for Kosher if they have been verified as such. Is the next step to have meds marked as well? Not saying it would be a bad thing at all....
  6. Inventions we'd love to see....

    There is liquid calcium available. Many health food stores either have it or can order it. Haven't seen it in a hospital though. Would be
  7. Premium membership reservations?

    I've run sites before. Most ads are almost never clicked on and even when they are and you go through with purchasing something, the webmaster can normally expect 2-5 cents for it. If more people...
  8. Premium membership reservations?

    Actually I want the money to go to maintaining this site, and trying to make it better. If I want to donate money to homeless victims, I give to charties that are for that purpose. I have run...
  9. Premium membership reservations?

    I can hit this from the opposite side. I didn't upgrade for the extra stuff. I just saw it was such a great resource and wanted to help support it. I had a few extra bucks I could swing this way as...

  12. 3.55 Gpa

    3.55 is pretty good. Most programs will say they accept 3.0 GPA, but the higher your GPA the higher up the waiting list you go in some places. I had a 3.5 and had no trouble getting in a
  13. another nurse hurt a patient in labor

    :angryfire This is a violation of the Patient's rights. If this happens, who should you go to then? The
  14. I think the true differance between posts in this thread are simple. There are many good posts because some have had great experiences. They have gone to schools with good instructors and have had...
  15. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    OP did not say it was a trust issue. It was a SOP issue. In her area it is not in the LVP's SOP to take VO. She said she would go behind her to cover her tail and do what was legally
  16. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    So do I get this post right? Are you saying that you and other LPN's at your hospital are putting thier jobs and yours and the RN's Liscences on the line by going outside of your employers policy?...
  17. This is also the reason, however, I did not get along in the corperate world before. I'm not one to kiss tail. I will work my behind off and I expect to be judged based on my work, not if I stroke...
  18. I really am not attacking you Mike...lol This brings to mind an interesting question for me. Concidering the economic gain that could be made for the drug company, if there are so many studies that...
  19. Would You Press Charges?

    No, I'm not. I'm currently a student. I've been in a psych unit as a teen. Had Family members and my ex-wife on psych unit as well. Two family members are psych nurses, in the A1 ward at Western...
  20. Would You Press Charges?

    This is the originial post. You just missed it, easy enough to do. Also JAIL is not a detension center. Minors do not normally go to jail unless they have several serious charges and the court decides...
  21. Would You Press Charges?

    A lot depends on the mental state of the patient. If they are incompetent, why would you press charges? Is the person remorseful? I know too many teens that get way with it on poor excuses. They...
  22. Would You Press Charges?

    OP stated that the patient was already up on similar charges, so I wouldn't define this as a isolated
  23. Would You Press Charges?

    Yes we are still talking about a psych unit, and I understood where you were coming from. Not trying to start a war either. If you haven't been on a psych unit you might not understand as well. It...
  24. Would You Press Charges?

    It's also not out of the norm for any nurse to be subjected to Inadequate nurse patient levels, or nurses being asked to do things outside of their scope of practice, or take patients they are not...
  25. Would You Press Charges?
