Not to mention that when adrenalin kicks in the last thing your body is thinking about is digestion and excretion. Now that you mentioned it, i didn't feel the need to stop during my crazy day!:smilecoffeecup:

Sorry but the not being an RN does make a big difference. I would have none that without you saying so when you said she needs to do something that has her less uptight! She isn't uptight, she is frustrated that until you actually work the floor you...

I am a medsurg student, working my 3rd year on the clinical floor and found totally agree with you. The newsroom is no comparison, sorry. Go ahead, use the bathroom, so that when EMS comes to medivac your patient out and you haven't finished initia...

If you can still smell the alcohol on their breath that is a pretty good sign that alcohol consumption was within the past 24 hours and impairment lasts for that time period if not beyond. There is a reason that pilots have to wait a certain amount...

I agree, the most useful advice i recieved is that be prepared for the fact that you may contemplate wanting to quit often - now that i know the feeling is to be expected and shared by others - i can just deal with the stress and know that i am not a...

Whether long nails are fake or acrylic, they allow for bacteria to spread a lot easier onto your hands. I remembered that whenever i thought about my own nails and now i would keep them short irregardless. Depends on your hospital's policy. Don't y...

Not at all, especially since life experience is a huge asset to bring before starting just about any program. I started the Bachelor of Nursing program at 26 and am just about finished and don't think i would have been successful if i had started ...

No, i think you are trying to manipulate the conversation to get the response that agrees with your own belief. If i am getting a headache trying to respond "appropriately" to you thread, how must your group members feel?! All i can say, is that i a...

Depends on where you want to go or what qualifications you have. If you are a nurse you would have to go through the regulating body of the province you wish to go through (to prove all your credentials), as well as through Immigration Canada. From w...

I think that what she was getting at is what i see all too often; A students don't necessarily equate to A nurses when they actually begin their career - memorizing information is one thing; applying it to practice is another thing and that is someth...

Hi, I have a new Palm Pilot Tx and would like to know what is the best pda software for recording information on a patient during a Med/Surg shift. I would like to know a through one that allows entries for pt demographic info, vitals, progress n...

Thanks so much to everyone for the info...are there many options if one were looking for work in long term care facilities or in psych nursing? Also, to work in psych in the US, do you need to be specialized or just have your degree? Thanks again, f...
