I am interested in travel nursing when I get enough experience under my belt. I always hear the perks about it, but there has to be some cons to it. What pros and cons have any of you experienced with travel nursing and is it worth it??

Please go visit your doctor.

I am a 20 y/o BSN-RN, and I have had a couple of patients tell me that they didn't feel comfortable with me being their nurse due to my age. One lady even requested a change of nurses, with a coworker. She had CHF and was taking Digoxin. Well, I walk...

I went to the U of M, and it is a two-year program. Union has a 14 month accelerated program, but you have to have at least 24 college credits, and be 24 years old to be considered.

I graduated from the U of M this past December....and I worked every semester. The key is balancing it out. Don't overdo it. The first sesmester will be hard for you to adjust to because you have SO many classes, and you may not be able to work as mu...

Chuck, I have seen women get stabbed by their husbands. The family limits visitation where he can't come to see her. But when discharged, he is the one taking her home.

If the person he's directing his comments to doesn't mind, then it's really not a problem, BUT the problem is that eventually he will direct his comments to someone who DOES mind....then the issue of sexual harrassment would come up.

How could someone make a test that only certain students would fail?? Is that even possible? How could she know what one students knows versus the other?

I wouldn't give your friend credit for the question either. Pedal pulses should be the first thing you check for. Even if the cast does extend to the foot, there should be an opening for you to dopple or feel for the pulses. Tell your friend to quit ...

Actually, 5cc is enough to flush a central line.

I think she is saying that she only wants licensed nurses to answer her question....no nursing students.

COPD patients need a high CO2 level...and a low O2 level. The CO2 is their drive to breath.

Irrigation kit is changed everyday....every new bag/bottle of tube feed requires new tubing.

12hr shifts aren't as bad as you are making them sound....I once worked 4 12's in a row. The key is to stay busy. I know that when I was a nurse tech, we really couldn't do much. So all we did was sit at the counter, watch the call light, tell the n...

I'm starting to feel like you. Are we really getting the whole story??

According to the website "NovoLog has a more rapid onset and shorter duration of action than regular human insulin. Because of the fast onset of action, the injection of NovoLog should be immediately followed by a meal. Because of the short duration ...

The OP is saying that the nursing student is using it for religious reasons....not because of any medical issues. So she wouldn't be able to use that excuse anyway.

What world is she living in that makes her feel that just by her religious preference that she can use marijuana, which is still illegal in the US to my knowledge. If that was the case, everyone who knew they were going to fail drug tests would use t...

What I think the teacher may be referring to since the pt has a history of HTN is beta blockers. Beta blockers tend to mask the s/s of hypoglycemia. I don't know if your pt was on beta blockers or not, but that is my best guess.

The nursing profession is continuously ranked as one of the more ethical and trustworthy professions in the country. But recently in the past few years, there have been many stories where nurses are accused (some found guilty) of doing things that ar...

Next time she says it, I would ask her what's the rationale behind her crazy reasoning.....She probably doesn't have one....just something she saw on TV or misoverheard someone say.

I can't believe that you went through this. I am so sorry for your experience. I would definitely write letters to everybody that I could think of! Did they not know that you were a nurse, a house supervisor at that?
