  1. what to know @ scene of accident

    Super Nurf replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    I have always wondered about the c-spine part. What if you could help by doing compressions, but you would have to move the victim to do them effectively? Is it the lesser of the two evils

  3. "The Jesus Factor"

    Super Nurf replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    While yes, yoga is healthful and would be an appropriate suggestion in the nursing line of work (for a patient who is appropriate for it), bringing up anything such as religion or even recommending an...

    Super Nurf replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

  5. Gerentology through Excelsior

    Super Nurf replied to Super Nurf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Slick ain't the word. They give you 10 days to back out, yet they take two months to fully decide what credits you need, meaning they can add anything after that 10 day period and you have to pay for...

  6. Gerentology through Excelsior

    Super Nurf replied to Super Nurf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got sucked in with the College Network, and okay I can live with that, but now they want me to buy 3 more books to the tune of $890 for the courses of Analysis/Interpretation of Literature A&P...

  7. A&P through Excelsior

    Super Nurf replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This made me smile "I got an A and still didn't feel I knew the material well." Way to go! You must know it fairly well to get that A, cause you wouldn't get it if you didn't deserve it!!! I have a...

  8. Gerentology through Excelsior

    Super Nurf replied to Super Nurf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you! I didn't realize they had the free content guide, that looks like it will be helpful. They project 15 weeks to study the book, but I want to do it in 8 or less, like I did with sociology. I...

  9. Wait another year for a local community college or Excelsior? Any Michigan LPN to RN

    Super Nurf replied to erinp88's topic in LPN to RN

    Hello! I am from Michigan also, in the UP, and after finding out that our local college only has the BSN program (with very limited enrollment, and you have to have this almost unrealistic grade...

  11. anybody here taken clep test for soc!!

    Super Nurf replied to jtjames's topic in Online Distance Learning

  12. Did I do the right thing, or did I not do enough?

    Super Nurf replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Super Nurf replied to Fancy Face's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am proud to say that I am the nurse everyone goes to when they can't get a foley in. (someone's gotta toot my horn for something here!!!). I think the key is visibility, visibility, visibility! If...

  14. Lessons learned from the other side of the call light

    Super Nurf replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    I think we learn a lot from being on "the other side". It all only helps us to be a better nurse. It's amazing what I've seen, I gotta tell ya, but it has taught me

  16. What to wear to nursing conference?

    Super Nurf replied to Tangerine Lipgloss's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, here was the best thing I ever saw at a nursing conference. It was a guy with very neon yellow shorts that were loose enough where you could see he didn't have underwear on because he straddled...

  17. resumes-do you put your license number on them

    Super Nurf replied to tropical bound's topic in General Nursing

    I gotta say it again, NO! If you get hired and they want a copy of your license, or see it in an interview, that's one thing. I'd never do

  18. Good judgement skills or not?

    Super Nurf replied to nevergonnagiveup's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't Rapid Response the first choice in line to avoid the costs of a code? To get there before an actual code is needed? We are encouraged to call RR if we feel we need it, and it has come in handy...

  19. Nurse-Run Hospital? Why not?

    Super Nurf replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    Super Nurf replied to debg's topic in LPN to RN

    I just started with the college network, and hopefully will finish up with Excelsior for my ADN, after which if I have any $$$$ left, I'd like to do the BSN. The only thing that did NOT impress me...

  22. Not all are bad....

    Super Nurf replied to MHP70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Isn't it a frightening thought to be a resident in some of these LTF? I cannot believe some of this staffing we hear about is even

  23. "The Jesus Factor"

    Super Nurf replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the patient initiated this whole thing, I admit to telling a dying patient whatever they want to hear to help make their passing easier, does this make me a bad nurse? But I sure wouldn't be...

  24. Score- MD=1 Beary=0

    Super Nurf replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    Why make yourself feel bad, why would you rather crawl in a hole and die? Write him up, and if he ever does it again, write him up again and again, this is deplorable and I bet he knows it, just...
