  7. Should I tell the truth about graduating to get a job?

    FlyingScot replied to NurseBaby88's topic in General Students

    I'm not being ignorant and that was extremely rude. You aren't even a nurse yet. I've been one for 30 years. I've worked in different hospital systems and on all levels of nursing. The nursing world...

  10. Any thoughts of USA infant mortality rate

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

  12. Any thoughts of USA infant mortality rate

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that's true but the question that remains is "why"? If you are at a delivery hospital ask some of your colleagues who have been at this a bit longer if they noticed a trend with elective c-section...

  13. Any thoughts of USA infant mortality rate

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It's the elective c-sections I'm talking about. Those that are done because an ob is going on vacation, to a conference or the mom "just cannot stand being pregnant one more minute". That's the...

    FlyingScot replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    FlyingScot replied to jonathonm's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  18. What is the motivation for bullying?

    FlyingScot replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly think they do it because they get some sort of high from it. Much like drug addicts getting their fix. And just like addicts with enabling families our managers and co-workers enable them...

    FlyingScot replied to nyrnicu115's topic in School, College Programs

    FlyingScot replied to nyrnicu115's topic in School, College Programs
