    MishlB replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

  4. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    MishlB replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    MishlB replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    How can a few more classes make you a BETTER nurse??? Either you are, or you are not. Period. You may learn something, but if you were not a good nurse before, then you will not be a better nurse...

  9. Nurses are not Doctors

    MishlB replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

  12. Considering joining the Military

    MishlB replied to Bayushi27's topic in General Nursing

  13. Not happy with med/surg...

    MishlB replied to RNNC2003's topic in General Nursing

    MishlB replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on a lot of things...we never tape report. I try to always make up a sheet with the meds that are due for the night shift, and any labs that need to be drawn. It makes it easier for them,...

  17. Short-term Variability vs Long-term Variability

    MishlB replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Short term is the change from beat to beat, so it shows up as jagged marks on the strip...where long term is the long wavy hills of changes in heart rate over minutes. We document short term only if...

  18. Come On!!

    MishlB replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you haven't worked short staffed lately, when admin refuses to call in any more

  19. The dreaded panty line.......

    MishlB replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Who cares...we all (I hope) wear underwear. Just don't wear any polka-dots or colored ones! Your shirt will probably cover up your butt anyway. And the thong....umm, yuck. Not

  20. L&D right after graduation?

    MishlB replied to AmberRNStudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If L&D is your thing, then go for it. I am so tired of hearing about MedSurg giving you a good background and a chance to use your skills....if you do not want to work there, then don't. Do what...

  23. 2 Nurses needed???

    MishlB replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The reason someone double checks is to ensure the right amount is drawn up, not the 5 rights. Humans make mistakes, and sometimes the wrong amount may get drawn up. Sorry if not everyone is as perfect...

  24. 2 Nurses needed???

    MishlB replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not old school. just smart! It's not about knowing how to give drugs, but possibly making a mistake in drawing up an amount, especially with insulin syringes...those tiny lines are SO hard to see when...

  25. Why LPN??

    MishlB replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    The reason I made the comment about closing this thread is because of the heated arguments about LPN vs RN that have come up and totally missed the point of Susy K's thoughts, that were posted TWO...
