  1. is your immune system suffering?

    FlyingScot replied to nealiiih's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I should say that I do not sanitize everything for that very reason. But after watching multitudes of little two-legged Petri dishes slobbering all over the cart handles the ick factor finally got to...

  2. is your immune system suffering?

    FlyingScot replied to nealiiih's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I got sick all the time when I worked in the ED. I nearly died from a pneumonia I picked up in the PICU. I have barely been sick for the last 5 years or so. You know what changed? The grocery store...

  3. Thinking

    FlyingScot replied to Jessicalynn7's topic in General Nursing

    Not to put too fine of a point on it but I think nursing is not the profession for

  4. Made a mistake. Cna

    FlyingScot replied to Lalalove1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the worst thing you can do this is a negative 10!!!!! Bless you for being so conscientious but you are worrying too much over something so minor as to be trivial. It...

  5. Road Trip Essentials

    FlyingScot replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Critical Care

    Maybe, but when you work in an enormous teaching hospital with about a million residents and fellows that's pretty much what you

  6. So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    Intubating, especially

  7. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    FlyingScot replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a matter of my misunderstanding. I'm not an idiot. I'm talking scope of practice, you're talking legal protection. So I think I will just bow out of this discussion before there are any more...

  8. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    FlyingScot replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I read the article. It mentions nurses in passing and focuses on EMTs and Medics. And it doesn't speak to the issue of scope of practice only the protection it provides. It might keep us from being...

  9. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    FlyingScot replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't comparing this situation to transport I was simply outlining how I can practice in another state without actually having a license in that state and I have plenty of common sense thank you...

  10. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    FlyingScot replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot work as a nurse outside of my state without obtaining a license in the state in which I wish to practice. The exception to that was when I was transporting and we could practice nursing in...

  11. Bipap question

    FlyingScot replied to Dacatster's topic in Pediatric

    Sometimes we look up and attach articles only to find out the OP has already reviewed them but failed to mention it. It can be a big time suck for nothing. There was nothing sarcastic about JB's post....

  12. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    FlyingScot replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP it seems that this is something that really sticks in your craw.

  13. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    FlyingScot replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    I would certainly hope that no one would give Epi to a patient in rapid a-fib or SVT because these patients will have a pulse!!!! That would be a seriously bone-head

  14. Migraines and nursing?

    FlyingScot replied to MeganStar's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That's still 6 months of weekly debilitating migraines and probable call-offs. If that's what happens the OP could potentially not make it to 6

  15. Migraines and nursing?

    FlyingScot replied to MeganStar's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You have to have worked 1000 hours to be eligible for this. The OP is a new

  16. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    FlyingScot replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not with this 50 year old poochy stomach. I like to adjust the

  17. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    FlyingScot replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OMG. You are so right. Have any of you had your scrub drawstring knot at the worst possible

  18. CNM vs. Med School

    FlyingScot replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It really was an honest, non-snarky question. Just trying to see where you're coming from. Had I wanted to call you out I would have posted it on the other

  19. When should I talk to my manager?

    FlyingScot replied to gatoraims RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Because she is getting no return on her investment in you. The time and money it took to train you will benefit somebody else, not her and her unit. Most managers do not look too kindly on this. Maybe...

  20. When should I talk to my manager?

    FlyingScot replied to gatoraims RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't be surprised if she is really ticked and retaliates. There are many ways to do this up to and including firing

  21. CNM vs. Med School

    FlyingScot replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  24. Starting as an ER Tech, what do you nurses want from me?

    FlyingScot replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Emergency

    Ummmm. Did any of you notice the date of the original post? Holy Necrothread

  25. Road Trip Essentials

    FlyingScot replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Critical Care

    It's not as crazy as you think. Many hospitals do not allow their ACLS certified nurses to run codes. In many cases the reason that nurses are certified at all is so that they know the process and can...
