  3. Is this typical for MA's ?

    time4meRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    True but, they are working in their scope to do so if needed. An MA is not trained to do so, has no scope of practice( in Ohio.) By-the-way, I love your little ditty about the kitchen

  5. How would you have handled this?

    time4meRN replied to WTTsMom's topic in General Nursing

  8. Getting all worked up in ICU

    time4meRN replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I agree, you need a longer orientation. Most likley, you'll feel stressed in ICU. That's why they call it critical care. But, most of us critical care nurses get off on the tension. Hang in...

  10. Impaired Nurses

    time4meRN replied to SR@csi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You don't need to explain anything about pt education to me. I think you have seen the Dx of diabetes in my post and took it personally. It was just an example. And once again , you have restated my...

    time4meRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. I'm sorry but I'm EXTREMELY irritated by this!

    time4meRN replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    take it all with a grain of salt. i think people who respond to things are people who have an axe to grind. it's pretty much like pres ganey, those who write in are ones with complaints. usually pt's...

  17. "Maybe you shouldn't be a nurse"

    time4meRN replied to krazy_coconuts's topic in General Nursing

    time4meRN replied to MichaelFloridaRN's topic in General Nursing
