    options in nursing?

    Nurse Ratched replied to alk3rainbow's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very reasonable question. It shows that you have an understanding of the fact that nurses do more than insert bedpans :) - that's better than a big chunk of the public! I myself don't want...

    Gross bodily functions driving me crazy

    Nurse Ratched replied to etmx5313's topic in General Nursing

    If it *is* IBS, then it's EXTREMELY treatable. Please see about it. No reason to live with your bowels constantly in an uproar!

    Would you assist in abortions?

    Nurse Ratched replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I suggest we ALL remember that this is a heated topic. Debate ideas, not people. As for my own answer to the original question, I would assist in a heartbeat. The greatest danger to our right to...

    Doctors Day is near any ideas?

    Nurse Ratched replied to darla80's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hmmmm - I'm thinking certificates to restaurants are always appreciated. My docs are very respectful and appreciative of me and my role; I'd be interested in hearing other suggestions as well

    disease investigations

    Nurse Ratched replied to kcrnsue's topic in Public, Community Health

    Is the problem that other health care personnel don't understand that state laws require reporting such information? I am fortunate to have a very good relationship with the public health nurse who...

    Anyone ever give thorazine for fever?

    Nurse Ratched replied to Noney's topic in General Nursing

    I saw where it is used for tetorifice/lockjaw. Hmmm. Will think about this and see if there is a doc to ask tomorrow at

    Fibromyalgia

    Nurse Ratched replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    I gotta go along with these posters. I'm not saying that the symptoms aren't real, but that calling it this is a disservice to those who are experiencing them, and likely precludes them getting...

    Bad days at work come in threes...

    Nurse Ratched replied to kimmicoobug's topic in General Nursing

    You have hit upon the key to remaining sane as a hospital nurse :). (I do believe that no good deed goes unpunished, and some of my worst shifts have been the ones I agreed to come in extra for.)...

    Nurse Ratched replied to Noney's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting. May I ask what caused the fever of 107? (Might give us a clue why the thorazine was

    Can you believe this?

    Nurse Ratched replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't lecture about the evils of smoking. I figure if you don't know by now, you've probably been living under a rock for the past thirty years. I don't mind if you smoke, but I won't take a...

    Help ! Interview ???

    Nurse Ratched replied to Nursinrox's topic in School

    I would want to be prepared for the questions they were going to ask me as well. Clearly the fact that you are a new grad didn't scare them off since they are interviewing you - congratulations on...

    Any Success with Dr. Budwig tx for cancer

    Nurse Ratched replied to wenron's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry they were taken advantage of this way, and for the outcome. Hulda Clark lived in my neck of the woods before she was caught. People in the area are what you might refer to as "rugged...

    Hiring nurses in ED

    Nurse Ratched replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

    To my knowledge, there is no law requiring that. There is an "unwritten rule" that many nurses feel a new grad should do a year of med-surg before anything else, and if you are hearing this, that's...

    I just received SPAM in my pm box

    Nurse Ratched replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think we've (Brian, that is! :)) taken care of the immediate problem of that particular spammer. I don't know if the software will support a "report bad message" button, but we'll look into it....
