  1. This is "how" Nurses divert drugs for their own use.

    mario_ragucci replied to WriteStuff's topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday I used the pixis for the first time as a student nurse. There was a prototype finger recognition peripheral added to the pixis. Learning about drugs is pretty interesting, opioids and...

  2. What Do You Want To Hear When Receiving Report?

    mario_ragucci replied to rebelwaclause's topic in General Nursing

    What is D/T? I know what R/T is. Also, what exactly does contact isolation mean? No one is allowed in the room unless totally gowned and gloved and masked and footied and cap? Is there a nursing...

  3. What Do You Want To Hear When Receiving Report?

    mario_ragucci replied to rebelwaclause's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a cna on a med-surg floor for 7 months, and am in school to be an RN in Spring 2004. I like the way they do report on my floor. At the beginning of shift, the charge RN writes the assignments on...

  4. What Do You Want To Hear When Receiving Report?

    mario_ragucci replied to rebelwaclause's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but work closely with "them." :-) Bullying at report? If a RN used a meeting as a plank to begin bullying? There is no excuse for this behavior. Just know that if I was at report...

  5. Admirable qualities

    mario_ragucci replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    No one really talks about it, or is willing to admit it but LOVE is a key/essential part of nursing. Love can not even be taught or learned yet we have an awareness to it. In a category all it's...

  6. What Freaks You Out?

    mario_ragucci replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What I can't stand is to see my own blood, or detect blod leaving my body. To see my blood leaving me drop me everytime. I don't know if giving blood will kill me, because they always stopped it....

  7. Sewing your own scrubs

    mario_ragucci replied to obeyacts2's topic in General Nursing

    I am a lazy american, with few skills, and couldn't dream of developing the knowledge to sew together any fabric to wear. You see, I am also a consumer, and I am programmed to just buy things with...

  8. CNA Training in LTC Facility vs. Community College?

    mario_ragucci replied to RN2B2005's topic in General Nursing

    Your doing the right thing. $445 sounds inexpensive. How much is it gonna cost you to take the test? How much are the books? How much are you gonna spend on a pair of scrubs? How much will you...

  9. CNA Training in LTC Facility vs. Community College?

    mario_ragucci replied to RN2B2005's topic in General Nursing

    If you got the money, pay all at once at a private school in your area to allow you to take the state test. Once you have the license, you'll be able to work anywhere if you want. Just make sure to...

  10. Are you MAN enough to be a Nurse?

    mario_ragucci replied to Cascadians's topic in General Nursing

    The guys I see who are nurses are some "can do" people, and some are burned out too, lol. I don't think it matters so much if your a guy or a gal, but if you can "care," and how much. In today's...

  11. Are you MAN enough to be a Nurse?

    mario_ragucci replied to Cascadians's topic in General Nursing

    If people think there are many men in nursing now... forget it. By pulling the gender card will not inspire. At least recognise the EDUCATION deficit and denial of nursing now to communicate...

  12. Do you wear gloves

    mario_ragucci replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    And thats what the bomb in this case is: useful information. A bomb shakes everything, and my word imadgry is often way out there on Pluto so I apologize. I concur with everything that is said,...

    mario_ragucci replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

  15. Do you wear gloves

    mario_ragucci replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    whoa - if this is true, then what about all the people who said they want gloves on to protect themselves and their loved ones? Imagine going to a hospital or health care facility and wanting people...

  17. Do you wear gloves

    mario_ragucci replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    If you want gloves on, then say you want gloves. If I came in to take a blood pressure and a oh sat on a patient and they barked at me to wear gloves, I would put them on. Still, no one has really...

  18. How do you stay cheerful and bubbly during work?

    mario_ragucci replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

  21. Do you wear gloves

    mario_ragucci replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    Wearing gloves is part of universal precaution. 'Nuff said. But if you really think about it, our own intact skin is the whole ball of wax. My dermis is my barrier, and part of my forcefield.sys....

  22. How does death effect you?

    mario_ragucci replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    The hardest part for me now, (a new feeling I never had before) is sometimes seeing a familiar PT, and thinking they in all likely hood will die from the illness they suffer from now. To think about...

  23. How does death effect you?

    mario_ragucci replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I've known a few other people I've met and cared for and then died ao far. Perhaps my best guesstament now would be an average of one death per two month, renal related. We really need to take our...

    mario_ragucci replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, all this talk about these that don't like those and so on and so on. Love cuts through racial stuff quick, especially in a health care setting. I'm sorry to sound vain. Others can hate you...
