  1. disclosing previous work history

    KeithEMU replied to catgirl214789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think your job history will hurt you that much, however, it would be a lot better to find out now if it will affect you. It's a lot better then going through your major and finding out then....

  2. disclosing previous work history

    KeithEMU replied to catgirl214789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on the type of form they give you, It could be concidered pergery to lie on them. I wouldn't lie anyways. Now is the time to make sure there won't be a problem later, after your done with...

  3. Let's call Oprah

    KeithEMU replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    To make changes often means sacrifice. This is where being a patient advocate can put you to the test. Nurses that are thinking of leaving their current employers are at the least risk, not that is...

  5. Biggest Payday

    KeithEMU replied to realnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say your behind the times... Just don't know the real reason this practice started. This is a management employee satisfaction thing. If you make more then someone that does the same job...

  6. advice needed....

    KeithEMU replied to ChristinaRN2B05's topic in General Nursing

    It's her job to know hosp policy too. Your patients on the ward could have been in real trouble and no one would have helped them. What happened to the ICU Nurse that was supposed to repond as

  7. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    KeithEMU replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    Just to make sure you know, I wasn't talking about the cath instance. I think I would have found an instructor pretty quick on this one... Even if I couldn't do anything about it that time, I would...

  8. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    KeithEMU replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very educational thread for me. I've noticed a couple of interesting things. For one, all of those that are being really critical of what nurses are doing on the floor are students. Not...

  9. Let's call Oprah

    KeithEMU replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this is a bit hypercritical. Opera did come from a hard background, and worked her tail off. Yes she has made a lot of money, and because the first black woman to become a BILLIONARE. She...

  11. CRNA so why not CRNS? Certified Register Nurse Surgeon? (devil's advocate)

    KeithEMU replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Name is pretty easy. Maybe Certified RN Surgical specialist (CRNSS.) But that's not the point. I think surgury requires a lot more. By the time they develop a proper course, you'd be in school as...

  12. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    KeithEMU replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since we are kinda of on the subject, with LPNs and RN's pay, why isn't it that ADNs and BSNs have different pays. Two years more of college and they might get 25cent to a dollar more starting pay if...

  13. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    KeithEMU replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    In our area, EMT training requires a certian number of hours in the ED so they know what goes on there, but they act pretty much like aids while in the ED. There are different scopes of practice....

  14. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    KeithEMU replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    When you grieve, it gives you the opportunity to tell your side. HOWEVER, if you had fault you need to know it ahead of time. Even if you meant well, but know now you may have come off poorly, ADMIT...

  17. quitting!!

    KeithEMU replied to G'smommy's topic in General Nursing

    I'd try to report it to the DON and get her reaction of it first. If she doen't think it was a big deal, then I'd find a better and safer

  18. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    KeithEMU replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I can understand what you are feeling. I have also seen you many times call for eveidence and very little has been posted. I also know how so much research uses statistical clustering to prove what...

  19. another nurse hurt a patient in labor

    KeithEMU replied to rnurse2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think anyone is mad at you for posting this. These are the kinds of things we need to look at. This is a good place to throw up these senerios. We can talk about them and no matter what...

  20. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    KeithEMU replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    God I hope nothing ever happens to you, or any of us again. It is real hard when you are trying to get ahead and life throws you a real curve ball. We could post senerios all day, like having a...

  21. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    KeithEMU replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not so sure I want to jump in on this at all, but I am really enjoying this thread. Mike, I know you said you have been pushing propofol, so therefore you should legally know the package insert. You...

  22. Why is it? Things nurses do other people can't

    KeithEMU replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

  24. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

    KeithEMU replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    At the 'risk' of exposing myself as of "questionable" character, I'll tell you I filed for bankrupsy. Was it a result of bad decisions? In truth yes. I had some bad things happen that made it where...

  25. another nurse hurt a patient in labor

    KeithEMU replied to rnurse2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think one problem is many patients don't know they can refuse any caregiver. They could have asked for her to be replaced, but I'm sure they did not know that was an
