1. Giving Insulin

   tapper replied to SANDRA1's topic in CRNA

   I say you're cheating and should be expelled from school. They are testing your knowledge, not that of those who read this board. How would you feel if you did use one of the answers given to you by cheating and it was wrong . . . then you would be a...

2. my first ER experiece!

   tapper replied to Pamelita's topic in General Nursing

   There are so many variables to consider in why you feel that you were not given the care you, or your sister, expected. If, as you say, a pt came in that had to be intubated, and it had been determined that your sister was not an adb bleed, then all ...

   tapper replied to angeliquedenise's topic in General Nursing

   Rather partial to Ian Shaw myself, but I also am in my infancy of jazz exploration.

4. CAn you go from a two year ASN to an MSN?

   tapper replied to RNIAM's topic in ADN/BSN

   Don't get too excited about the program at Vanderbilt. First of all it is an extremely demanding program. Secondly I believe it'll cost ya about $30,000/year.

6. Your first IM injection

   tapper replied to boobaby42's topic in Humor

   I love when these threads are relative to the experiences I am going through now. Gave my first SQ injection today. Poor old guy screamed like . . . But he also screamed when I took some tape off his arm also. O'well . . . sure I'll get at least one...

8. When a manager compliments you...

   tapper replied to MPHkatie's topic in General Nursing

   This from a future nurse . . . yes, smile and be happy that management recognizes your efforts and the value you add to the floor. But in my previous career, I cherished the praise I received more from my customers than I ever did from management, un...

9. What's your favorite nursing book? (Non textbook)

   tapper replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

   Not a "Nursing Book" but a book that I found very inspirational was Tuesdays with Morry (don't know about the spelling of Morry). I could not put this book down, finished it in one 3-4 hour sitting. You will not regret experiencing the outlook that t...

10. Newsreporters interviewing nurses

    tapper replied to -jt's topic in Activism

    The reporter was probably trying to confirm that you were actually a nurse employed by that hospital and not just some random employee who might not be entirely satisfied with the hospital for whatever reason.

    For those who abstain from enjoying a little reefer due to the damaging effects it MIGHT have on the lungs . . . enjoy a "brownie" with your glass of milk ;-)

12. A Lesson Learned

    tapper replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    To anyone who does not appreciate a cynical view of this thread . . . please stop reading . . . now. Susi, I can hear the frustration in your voice/words . . . but I believe you should be far less concerned about how others percieve you or your accom...

13. What do you think of the Nursing Spectrum BB?

    tapper replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Well I heard what Susy said about what P_RN did when Night Owl mentioned what Houlihan told Stargazer concerning Kaknurse that blah ba bah blah blah . . . sorry just bored :-)

14. Finds textbooks to be antiquated

    tapper replied to mario_ragucci's topic in General Students

    For some prereques not buying the "required" text will work. You can quickly find this out after the first day or so of class. When I got into the actual nursing classes, I found out it would be impossible to NOT have the text. During lecture you are...

15. patient right to information

    tapper replied to nursy_ann's topic in General Students

    Legally I have no idea, but as long as you didn't tell the pt that you had given him a pain med, sounds good to me. My question is, how would you handle it if say, the nurse on the next shift has a similar experience with the pt and the pt says "Just...
