  1. Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

    mystcnurse replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You are too logical for your own good - and nurses, when they are smart, outsmart in common sense most doctors and probably rocket scientists.... we generally have practical knowledge that others...

  3. NPs working with chiropractors

    mystcnurse replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    cfinesse19: Did you not know what the job was before you signed up for it? Do you have a medical director? Just

  4. NPs working with chiropractors

    mystcnurse replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work with chiropractors. I also have severe scoliosis. No medical providers have ever even acknowledged, much less treated this for me. Last week, I had a rib pop out of the facet in my back. It...

  5. First Med error??

    mystcnurse replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in General Nursing

    The most important thing is that you made an error, and then reported it. Most medication errors are never known, unless they involve narcotics. But you can easily KILL someone by giving them the...

  6. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    Not sure what you are saying by this. The Cochrane review that you included a link to is stating that there is no statistical significance overall, for the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine. It...

  7. NPs working with chiropractors

    mystcnurse replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was actually asking for input on others' experience working with chiropractors. In an integrated model, chiropractors work along side medical health care providers. Not all states require...

  9. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    mystcnurse replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I haven't read ALL of the responses to this question... but my initial response would be ABSOLUTELY. There is a lot to be said for having live, knowledgable instructors breathing down your neck,...

  10. Question on skin to skin touching

    mystcnurse replied to germsjackson's topic in Emergency

    I think that it is the nurse's job to make sure there are no feces on the patient's bed, and all of those cords and other items should be clean enough for the patient, that you have no problem...

  11. A Good Question Bank?

    mystcnurse replied to bearasara94's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is an EXCELLENT resource for test questions, which are similar to the ANCC boards, which I believe, are harder than the AANP. It is FamilyNPprep.com and you can select the type of tests you...

  12. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    mystcnurse replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    And the 2009 pandemic was propoganda for the pharmaceutical companies. Nothing about the flu in 2009 met any criteria for

  13. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    mystcnurse replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    From the Product Insert: "FluMist contains live attenuated influenza viruses that must infect and replicate in cells lining the nasopharynx of the recipient to induce immunity. Vaccine viruses capable...

  14. Can nurses use medical marijuana?

    mystcnurse replied to melisgood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you have the same concerns for nurses who take sleeping pills, pain medication, anxiolytics or other medications? Just

  15. Suggestions on RN starting up as a Holistic Nurse,

    mystcnurse replied to lumbarpain's topic in Holistic

    The problem is that a nurse generally works under and MD's orders, and most don't subscribe to the whole CAM thing. I am an NP, and just got my dream job as a "holistic nurse", working in an...

  16. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    mystcnurse replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    No, actually, it has been the same shot for the last two years. And the last "pandemic" that occurred, started on a military base. And it was in the last century. How long do you think we have been...

  17. Refusing the Influenza Vaccine

    mystcnurse replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    There is no evidence that the flu shot works, or that it is safe, especially having the same injection year, after year, after

  18. Suggestions on RN starting up as a Holistic Nurse,

    mystcnurse replied to lumbarpain's topic in Holistic

    Not sure what you mean by "holistic" nurse. Do you want a JOB as a holistic nurse? What do you picture that entailing? I believe that all nurses, by the very definition of "nursing" are "holistic",...

  19. Edema.

    mystcnurse replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    This may be a very old post, but I was doing a search on it. If "pitting edema" is measured by length of time and depth, then I would say, that is VERY severe.

  21. Flu shot issue

    mystcnurse replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very interesting that article was removed. I saw it, should have saved it. Your information is accurate, but no body really wants to know this stuff, do they? Conspiracy theorist = anyone who...

  22. Flu shot issue

    mystcnurse replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The term "conspiracy theory" is part of the "political and media hype". All you really have to do is open your eyes, to see the direction this country is going in, and HAS been going in for quite...

  23. Flu shot issue

    mystcnurse replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm just curious what science you are talking about? So funny, because the advertisement on the top of this page said "more Americans die from influenza than from breast cancer" the "source" listed,...

  24. I cringed on the inside

    mystcnurse replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Just FYI - your kid is NOT overweight. Even for an adult, at that height and weight the BMI would be 24. But a kid at this age is growing like a weed, and has not developed the muscle mass he...

  25. Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    mystcnurse replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an NP, and I totally DON'T agree. I'm also a bedside nurse and a full time nursing instructor. Once, in my office while working AS AN NP, a young female patient came in with abdominal pain that...
