    Wile E Coyote replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    Being a SAHM after graduation

    Wile E Coyote replied to KatarinaCoffman's topic in Nursing Career

    Finish school after health issues?

    Wile E Coyote replied to rme999's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Major back problems" leads me to tell you to forgo many acute care positions and/or positions that would have you on your feet for extended periods. Corrections and psych nursing are two areas for a...

    Pacemaker interrogation

    Wile E Coyote replied to spdaydream's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    (The original post was made back in Dec, fyi, but what the hey). The actual interrogation could be taught in a matter of minutes. The expertise comes into play in interpreting the results and making...

    Do you read hospital Yelp reviews?

    Wile E Coyote replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, uh three now. Interested to see their perception of us. Edit: Holy smokes...4.5 on Yelp. (Hehe, now if there were more than 2 reviews, that might carry a bit more weight, it is nice to see...

    Transgender Nurses - experiences/opinions

    Wile E Coyote replied to Kaley1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doctor resigning after explosive incident

    Wile E Coyote replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    HELP! I'm being pressured to lie at work...

    Wile E Coyote replied to Divergirl's topic in Critical Care

    I'm thinking our CRNA OP is quite aware what SHOULD constitute a safely prepared intubation. I too, looked for a national standard and thus far, it looks like it's going to be up to whatever internal...
