  1. I am finally, totally convinced: There is NO NURSING SHORTAGE.

    sbic56 replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Include me in the (northeastern) middle age cyincs group! I have taken part in that "what else could I do?" converstaion many times! Never seem to be able to discover that new profession due to the...

  2. Dr's children at pts bedside

    sbic56 replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    On occasion, doctors and other staff bring their kids to work with them, but they don't go in patients rooms. I don't see any problem with it as long as they are not exposed directly to the patients....

  3. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

    sbic56 replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I haven't seen it, but am not suprised that it doesn't accurately portray nurses. Whoopie Goldburg doesn't know what we do any more than most people. The average person is clueless as to the scope of...

  4. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

    sbic56 replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    sbic56 replied to NurseNat's topic in Infectious Disease

  8. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    sbic56 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    jnette :rotfl: I do the goofiest typos! Once when debating with SusyK, I called Bush a "treat" to the country instead of the threat that I meant to say he is! She loved calling me on that...

  9. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    sbic56 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating Well said!! laughingfairy, SmilingBluEyes Interesting how you see this as an inferior/superior comparison. I don't see unequal as being inferior. Plus, I certainly don't think of my dog...

  10. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

    sbic56 replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The image of nursing. Interesting topic. The first nurses were slaves or prostitutes. Midwives were nurses who were also sometimes considered witches. Do a quick Google under "images" and many of the...

  11. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    sbic56 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    cheerful I had to chuckle on that one! I work in an Osteopathic hospital and remember the days of the MD's looking down on the DO's. I always thought that was odd because DO's actually attend an...

  12. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    sbic56 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    No flame throwing here! I have seen some rivalry and competitiveness among doctors, but also far more respect for their own peers than nurses show for one another. We, too, can learn from

  13. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    sbic56 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    There is no good place for superiority complexes no matter what your title. Are doctors and nurses equal? Not hardly. As good as a nurse may be, the doctor is most liable for a patients well being....

    sbic56 replied to nursek86's topic in General Nursing

    Grouchy Great post! You further explain the reality of nursing. We need ideals as a guide, but the real world is never

  17. Fired nurses in Louisville, Ky

    sbic56 replied to nursek86's topic in General Nursing

    Thanx, sankruz. It will be an education to us all to see how this plays out. Fgr8Out I understand the ideals you support; it's just that I don't see the illegal use of diprivan as being the issue...

  18. Umbilical cord care

    sbic56 replied to AlaskaKat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I work we are still teaching alcohol for cord care, but I have heard it makes no difference if allowed to merely air dry. I did a google and found that many references still advised use of...

  19. Fired nurses in Louisville, Ky

    sbic56 replied to nursek86's topic in General Nursing

    Fgr8Out I think what we will discover is that there is much more to this than giving diprivan w/o an order. nursek86 is wisely not giving all the details while the case is pending. Moral of this story...

    sbic56 replied to nursek86's topic in General Nursing

  21. Psychiatric Patients in ER

    sbic56 replied to Dolphin777's topic in Emergency

    I see where you are missing something here, Dolphin. If a patient presents expressing thoughts of self harm, the staff is legally obligated to make every effort to ensure that patient's safety. The...

    sbic56 replied to Dolphin777's topic in Emergency

    Dolphin I notice you are new to the boards. Welcome. Are you interested in treatment modalities of psych patients in the ED professionally? I only ask because you seem to be asking on more of a...
