1. What exactly is death?

   breanna replied to azverte's topic in Activism

   Hi azverte. I am from Florida too. Well, absence of brain waves is pretty strong. An EEG (actually 2 EEGs) is a good definition. Inability to breathe and needing ventilator is NOT a definition of death. Christopher Reeves is very much alive as are...

2. Talking to the Press???

   breanna replied to rmprn's topic in General Nursing

   It is the press's job to print, not the truth, not everything, but SOMETHING. And that something should be as interesting as possible - so an interesting slant must be created. I am so sorry that you had to get burned. It happens every day. I know...

4. Zero tolerance policy d/t AZ shootings

   breanna replied to emily_mom's topic in General Nursing

   Occasionally I am asked to cover a different shift. There was a less than ideal charge nurse on that shift (recently demoted). That charge has said to nurses, "Get over here before I break your butt." During recent discussions I offered that if it...

5. ICU nursing vs Floor nursing

   breanna replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

   Did floor for a year, then years of ICU and other areas. By far, floor nursing the most difficult. Wouldn't, couldn't ever do that (floor nursing) again! Vents, swans, balloons, multiple lines & drips are easier.

6. Have you ever written to your Congressman regarding the nursing profession.

   breanna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I have written, called, visited, even in their DC offices. Being one of many doing it, the results happened. Yes, there IS strength, in numbers. But we have to be counted. Phone calls, e-mails are powerful! EACH one! When I can, and hey, it is o...

8. Doctors Hitting Nurses

   breanna replied to NavyRN's topic in Activism

   Another power source: I once read an article that physicians who treat nurses (and all colleagues) with respect fare many times better in the courtroom than those who have non-supportive colleagues. There's power in those nurses notes!!!!

10. Flight nursing requirements

    breanna replied to nikkitd's topic in Flight

    I am pretty sure FL does have a flight physiology requirement. Check FL statute 10D66. Anyway, one place will answer all your questions: National Jets in Ft. Lauderdale @ FLL. They are the best!

11. Cummunity Health Nursing

    breanna replied to tsubsn2002's topic in General Nursing

    Care plans must consider a method to asses the effect of the nursing action in measurable terms. It is not so cut&dry in community programs. How do you measure the effect of the community education you provide? I would like to use your answer...
