That's nursing!

Now that I have completed my BSN, and all the other course work to start the CRNA program, I'm having second thoughts. The concern I have is letting the staff nurses care for my patients. Their level of knowledge is, in most cases low. As a staff ...

It's funny how this thread seems like a united front, but the rest of the wedsite discussions do not, except for a few. I never said anything about a BSN nurse being better than a ADN/diploma. After all my arrogant self was a diploma nurse for many...

I am concerned about the patients in the hospital. The care is not good, and there is much neglect, and many errors. It's not due to a shortage of nursing staff, because the ratio is 4-5 to 1 RN. Many of the nurses do sit in the lounge most of the...

#1 Patient goes into hospital for liver bx. #2 Doctor orders Tylenol for pain. #3 Nurse gives Tylenol. #4 Patient go into coma. Did the nurse give th wrong drug? could be. Did the patient have a bad liver, and Tylenol is never given to patients with...

Are you saying that docs are arrogant, pompus jerks? Gee, I have to wonder why they are this way. Are the docs nasty to the nurses, do they disrespect them? Q: Why does a dog lick his butt? A: Because he can. Q: Why does a doctor disrespect a n...

:kiss I never said anything about level of knowledge and the BSN, you did. I did not say "all" nurses sit in the lounge, but many do. Many nurses can't think beyond following doctors orders, but they did study A&P, pharm, and disease processes....

I'm very much for REAL! My expectations for the care of MY patients is very high. I give excellent care, and there is no reason other nurses can not do the same thing. As far a my "superior attitude" well, a nurse who is caring for patients on the...

I was a Navy nurse for 10 years, and my last duty station was Balboa in L&D. This was only 2 years ago. I can tell you that your wife will get the best of care. They may not come across as the kindest of folks, but I can assure you the care th...

It's Bushes idea. I guess he needs the money to pay for the war, or turn millionairs into billionairs. So, nurses have been grouped with white collar workers, when it comes to not paying us overtime, that is.

Nurses have asked for this kind of replacement. If I were a patient I just might prefer the robot, and my doctor over the nurses. Nurses have become robots by not furthering their education and becoming task oriented (following doctors orders). Nu...

The BSN program at UoP is NLN accred, and all MSN programs accept the degree. Your states board of nursing can answer any questions on this. The clinicals are done at work, and you have to be a working RN to attend, part-time is fine. I attended U...

I live and work in San Diego. My first ten years as a nurse was spent in the Navy. I got out of the Navy here is San Diego, and this place is like going back 20 years in time. We do have a union (hand picked out of the back pocket of hospital admi...

At work over the weekend we had a patient who wanted a 100% natural birth. O.K. fine. The nurse caring for her was letting her walk. The patient returned to be monitored and I saw on the monitor at the nurses station, a nice contraction with a nic...

I have moved on to work in the PACU, at a different organization. I interviewed for jobs until I found the right fit. Documentation was forwarded to the right people who should be concerned, and have the power to change the situation. My view of ...

Hi Everyone, Iv'e been working L&D for seven years. Most of the time has been in high risk. A few months ago I took a job part-time in a small hospital. My fear is court. Example, the other day a labor patient G1P0, 42 weeks, not other risk f...

I would never recommend nursing to anyone. I am tired of the stupid games, and nasty personalities. Nurses are abusive to one another. I've been a nurse for 12 years, 10 years at my first job, and 9 months at my second. The thought of working as ...

I dislike the job, I find myself becomong depressed even thinking about returning to nursing. Nursing has never brought be a feeling of well-being. I dislike working with others who's only enjoyment in life is treating others poorly. I've had it ...

I was up set about the fact that the media was blaming the doctor. it was the labs fault. This could happen to anyone. It's unacceptable. I just have to wonder how many people really are very sick and thier labs come back normal.

Did the patient live? If not I would see a lawyer, and the family of the patient. All be da-- if I would this jerk get away with this. That could be you, me, or a loved one in that sick bed. I would most definitaly not let this one die down. Thi...

If the new nurse will not ask questions, I ask them questions. I do expect them to know, or be willing to learn what is going on with the patient at the anotomical & physiological level. How many nurses do we all know who fail to keep up with ...

Oh my God! I hope she dosen't go to work like that.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope your holidays are going well for you considering your loss. I must say you were a strong wonderful woman to this man. You both had some great years together and that dream was for a higher purpose. God bless y...

dawngloves, ding dong, Oh my that is so funny. I just quit my job because of to many of them. They are scary. SCB
