    Stay at Home mom looking for Job to do at home

    santhony44 replied to studentIVlife's topic in General Nursing

    I've known people who did medical transcription from home, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. You might look under "employment" on some insurance company websites. Some companies do...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    santhony44 replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, that Tylenol isn't really all that great; it wears off in 4 or so hours on a regular basis. Did you ever notice it doesn't do much for coughs or runny noses,

    Upsetting Email about HH

    santhony44 replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    I've never done home health. As an NP, however, I have requested HH involvement with my patients. When I do, I need nurses just as knowledgeable, and just as skilled, if not more so, than the...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    santhony44 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And you don't think that you are judging me? You know nothing about me, my life, and my experiences, professional nor personal. I don't approach people in any public place and express my opinion on...

    My ER experience....what do you think??

    santhony44 replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I've done the same thing, both in the ER and in clinic. If the patient is going to get mad and walk out because I won't give narcs, then go ahead and get it out of the way right off the bat....

    Should I be expelled?

    santhony44 replied to casurfer's topic in General Students

    I think I would appeal. Unless there's information that's not in your post, it doesn't sound as if there was any intent to cheat. If the questions on the final were different from the previous tests,...

    Underwear and white scrubs?

    santhony44 replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    This is a good suggestion. You could also wear an undershirt under your scrub top (over your bra). You can get the tank-style "athletic" ribbed tees for women; this gives you a little extra coverage,...

    Survey for School Project - Need your help

    santhony44 replied to stephen283's topic in General Nursing

    This really is a great idea! Others have some good points, too. I especially like the idea of having something besides a key chain. Plus, I agree that there is also danger if things are left on when...

    Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    santhony44 replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as if you handled it as well as you could have. I am a Christian, and I think his response was inappropriate. Pressing someone who declines to pray out loud is rude, regardless of why the...

    To all the "Old School" Nurses

    santhony44 replied to TiggerBelly's topic in General Nursing

    After 25 years, I guess I'm pretty "old school." My perception is that people are more demanding in general. Keep in mind that I'm not a staff nurse in a hospital, but from what I see and hear and...

    Questions ~ Why are these questions pertinent to why not to give CT contrast?

    santhony44 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Radiology

    A radiologist I've referred patients to requires a BUN and creatinine done before he'll do contrast. That's not the practice where I am currently. Anyone think this is a good idea? I've read some of...

    Help with a character rererence letter?

    santhony44 replied to skdg219's topic in Nursing Career

    Most places want letters from people who are not related, so I'm surprised she is asking you for one! Even if the program didn't specify that, it would probably be better if she got one from someone...

    I think that's really nice! Pearl is one of those old-fashioned names you don't see much any more. I had a friend whose mother was named Opal. Her sisters were Ruby and
