Check out https://www.nutritioncare.org/nbnsc/. This organization certifies healthcare providers in enteral and parenteral nutrition. I worked at a hospital in Philadelphia where doctors would order a "nutrition nurse consult". The Certified Nutri...

Just a bit of nursing and flight history trivia... Originally, young boys were hired to serve food, beverages, and comfort the passengers when they became airsick. Soon, however, it was suggested by Ellen Church, a registered nurse, that women -- spe...

We used to joke about patients being candidates for "pillow therapy".

"He tends to like to play with the medicines. If it is working, he will change it. Worse, he likes to decrease the hospice patients pain meds. DECREASE!!! " If he is really adjusting medications (presumably without MD orders) then he is practicing me...

The ads you are seeing are probably for clinical research coordinator (CRC) positions. CRCs are generally responsible for coordinating all of the activities related to one or more studies of investigational drugs or medical devices. The CRC handles...

It seems to me that "scab" is a derogatory term directed at specific individuals. I doubt that this site would tolerate the use of other derogatory terms related to race, religion, sexual orientation etc. Scab sounds just as bad to me. I also thin...

The students are gonna love this. I saw a response from someone here stating something to the effect of not having any idea what theory of nursing her school espoused. This got me going. Nursing theory has always been a bone of contention for me. ...

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any area of nursing with patient contact that isn't exposed to some degree of "grossness". I doubt that PA's can avoid it as well. Perhaps healthcare is not for you....

I left bedside nursing after 1 year for a research job and over the next several years moved around the country. As I moved, I took short-term or travel nursing positions, never more than 3 months at a time. Then I was out of nursing for 6 years. ...

It's all relative. Depends on where you live, how much experience you have and what you do. Where I live, NPs make between $60 and $70,000 a year. Any nurse here with more than 10 years experience is making more than the NPs. It is not uncommon f...

We always flush bile drainage tubes. We attach the tube to the drainage bag with a stopcock and usually flush 5cc towards the patient and 5cc towards the bag. If I had to guess I would say that flushing foward is towards the bag.

Sounds pretty typical to me. I've never seen any company match more than 6% on a 401(k) or a 403(b). Have also never heard of health benefits after retirement except in civil service jobs. Our union contract includes a selection of health benefits,...
