  1. UAPs administering meds

    Sekar replied to Myra Gail's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OOPS. Sorry, it's a deep south thing. Woof tickets are the same thing as ocean front property in Arizona or the proverbial bridge for sale in Brooklyn, NY. If you buy them, you'll be

  2. UAPs administering meds

    Sekar replied to Myra Gail's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    RUN! Don't walk out the front door! Your DON is selling you woof tickets, I'll bet she wouldn't put HER name after those UAPs when they pass meds. Thankful for the extra hands, my hind quarters....

  3. UAPs administering meds

    Sekar replied to Myra Gail's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ah the dangers of allowing Unlicensed Personnel to pass medications raise their ugly, multi-faceted heads again. Now not only are the patients at severe risk, so are you. Once again, this is...

  4. does anyone get to wear fun scrubs

    Sekar replied to S5777's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the time I wear nice patterns that a guy would feel comfortable wearing. Outdoor scenes, wolves (I love wolves), pine trees, that sort of stuff. I hate solid colored scrubs, too drab for me....

  5. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Sekar replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    HEAR,

  6. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    Sekar replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    QED, Eh? Obviously you fail to understand the point despite having it explained in various ways. Agreeing with one sentence out of the whole statement is still pulling quotes out of context. This...

  7. Non licensed staff giving tele advice!!!

    Sekar replied to sugarlove's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well you can approach it from a couple of different angles. DOD is very strict on these issues. Non Licensed personnel are NOT to give adivice over the phone, period. There are specific regulations...

  8. non-clinical nursing???

    Sekar replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you could always shoot for Nursing Informatics. It's a relatively new field and very challenging. Some facilities require a Master's in it, but there aren't that many Master's programs in...

  9. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    Sekar replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Please read and quote my entire statement rather than the points you think are salient to your point. Taking sentences out of context and quoting them is a key part of hyperbole. What I said was...

  10. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    Sekar replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    No, what Sekar is suggesting is that she isn't forced to live here so she has the opportunity to travel the world, see other cultutes, experience their viewpoints of what racism is. I also suggested...

  11. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    Sekar replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    So, it is allowable for someone to make a blanket, antagonistic statement like "America is the most racist country in the world" but not OK for someone to voice their opinion that if she doesn't like...

  12. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    Sekar replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Teshiee, exactly how many countries have you been in? Not counting the USA, I've been in 13 different countries on 4 different continents. Most of these countries I have lived in for months to...

  13. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Sekar replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    Pretzlgl, you are quite welcome. And thank you for some positive

  14. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Sekar replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    rstewart brought up a very valid point. I don't see BSN RNs running in droves to fill up those less desirable nursing jobs currently held by LPNs and Diploma RNs / ASN RNs. LTCs, small rural...

  15. Love those Nursing Caps..

    Sekar replied to NIghtshift LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I thank all the forces of good that exist that men never had to wear those hideous things. Those ugly hats need to go into a bottomless hole with the all white uniforms. I know that some of...

  16. military nursing

    Sekar replied to emmybsu's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I spent 20 years in the Army as a Nurse. The work is very challanging, very rewarding, and you practice at a higher level than you do in the civilian world. Especially during war time. Ah...

  17. Medical Assistants in the office

    Sekar replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Well, someone out there will probably flame me for this BUT I think you are taking the right stance in this instance. You have 6 Nurses on staff, you don't need a Medical Assistant doing nursing...

  18. Nurses with autoimmune diseases

    Sekar replied to nurse2be in ny's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm Sekar's wife, I don't I have my own account as I just log on under his. I am also a Nurse and I have SLE. I was diagnosed with SLE in 1982. Went to nursing school and graduated in 1995....

  19. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe in YOUR state LPNs don't do assessments or IV Push Narcotics but that is not true in all states. Don't presume to know the scope of practice for all LPNs when your knowledge is based of the...

  20. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Sorry about that, typo

  21. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Hear, Hear! My point exactly, I was just a tad more verbose about it. LPNs are not RNs and visa versa. However, we are all nurses just as all physicians are physicians. It does not lessen your...

  22. Scrubs

    Sekar replied to coffeejavule's topic in General Nursing

    My wife makes all of our scrubs. You should see our closet! 1/2 of the 14 foot long closet is a hugh collection of scrubs of all sorts of colors and patterns. All nice looking, professional, and...

  23. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Susy K & Bluesky, please refer to my above

  24. ADN/BSN Debate on the Floors?

    Sekar replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    This is just more of that "my education makes me a better Nurse than you" crap that divides us a profession. I don't see why we must belittle other nurses to make ourselves feel superior in some way....

  25. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    Jim, you go Dude! We need more like you in
