    JBudd replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    Keep your head down and see no evil? Not to my way of thinking. No, what the faculty do with another student as far as discipline is none of your/my business. But to close eyes and pretend that...

    JUST a nurse

    JBudd replied to Knights Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    wow, I have never felt that way. All professionals do routine tasks, engineers, architects, everyone. Autonomous or not, I have picked up on changes, caught stuff the MD missed, suggested...

    I am currently out of hospital with health issues, on FMLA.... but am still teaching as adjunct faculty one day a week. But our staff faculty all do clinicals. I with the PP, the bedside or hospital...

    A question of ethics

    JBudd replied to Kris0215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since the patient gave you the card, and told you to use his name, you are not breaching HIPAA by only using his name. Do not reveal any details about diagnosis or care, but he gave you permission to...

    Religion and nursing school

    JBudd replied to natmanzo's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yes. Because God is always there, in church, in school, in your back pocket. He and I talk a lot, throughout the day. When the ones who demand "you must set aside so much time for prayer, reading,...

    Help me feel better about this - Full time 8 hour nights

    JBudd replied to amyshell's topic in General Nursing

    You really are still adjusting, and it takes a while. I've done nights for nearly 30 years; it is doable and none of my children have become ax murderers. Avoid the caffeine the last few hours of...

    Hostility

    JBudd replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    It happens... but my school the students really pull together and support each other. It isn't as though we grad e on a curve! No, it isn't universal in nursing, just like any workplace, some are...

    Online Training and 8 weeks of orientation?

    JBudd replied to AvaRN22's topic in Emergency

    ENA has great resources. I did MS for 13 or 14 years before moving to ER; I found TNCC to be of the most help in getting into the swing of it, just to help set priorities. No matter how long you've...

    What's the Best IV Size and Site?

    JBudd replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    I'll second that one. If I do need a big line, just filling the veins up a bit with the little 22 so they can tolerate the 18 if I end up needing it works for

    JBudd replied to Onik's topic in General Students

    what nurses do if a patient wants blood transfusions

    JBudd replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you asking if you are required to give blood, and you morally object to it, that is another question altogether. There are many threads here about that.... mostly on religious objections....
