  1. Does anyone think nursing diagnoses are just plain silly?

    Jokerhill replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    No one outside of nursing can understand them or the reason for them, they just don't fit and make you sound like you are guessing at what the problem is. It certainty does not do what is was suppose...

    Jokerhill replied to ohyeah's topic in General Nursing

    Jokerhill replied to YOUNGRN23's topic in California Nursing

    Then if on overtime (extra shift, call back) time and a half for 12 hrs, is $900.00. Night shift differential 10-15% added ect... But then taxes kick in.

  16. help with blood tubes!!!

    Jokerhill replied to farmergal13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know a phrase but you can rationalize it out. Red is a plain tube no additive so it wont interfere with other tubes/test. Red and Black just have a gel that also will not interfere. Then comes...
