  1. New grad looking for a job, but wants a vacation

    FlyingScot replied to Jsng11's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I agree with the PP. A one week vacation maybe but up to 4 weeks?!! I highly doubt that is going to be looked upon favorably. The flip side is with the current market you might not...

  4. why do nurses hate medics?

    FlyingScot replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I've worked with medics for nearly my entire career including 7 years in an ED. I have never witnessed or experienced what you have described. I have seen overworked nurses get a little crispy when...

  7. Paramedic, RN, or something else?

    FlyingScot replied to c27_AEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, in addition to being a nurse/paramedic or both (like me) you could consider becoming a member of the National Ski Patrol. They have both a pro (as in paid) patrol and also a volunteer branch....

  8. Paramedic, RN, or something else?

    FlyingScot replied to c27_AEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know I have an idea that might just fit the bill for you. I'm assuming you live out West. You seem to like outdoorsy things. Do you ski

  9. Favorite Pediatric Immunization Techniques

    FlyingScot replied to RNstorm's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Have them sit on mom's lap chest to chest. This should leave both arms and legs available. Quietly count to three and on three have mom give them a great big hug.This works until about 8 years of age...

  10. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    FlyingScot replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I probably should have been more clear. I only baptized infants/children at the parents request. It was our custom with a moribund child to ask if there were any religious customs or rites they wanted...

  11. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    FlyingScot replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Sometimes there isn't time to get an ordained minister. In those cases most religions agree that a lay person, in good faith, can and should perform the rite of baptism. I have done it many times and...

  12. Paramedic, RN, or something else?

    FlyingScot replied to c27_AEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing you need to ask yourself is do you WANT to be a paramedic or do you WANT to be a

  13. Huber Needle

    FlyingScot replied to altynai1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The needle should not have been in place for longer than 7 days so scar tissue shouldn't have been an issue I don't think. I wonder if the safety mechanism was faulty. I've run into that a time or...

  14. Pushing flush too slow?

    FlyingScot replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Medications

    Nobody was "knocking" your suggestion just the reasoning behind it. It's important for folks to know that smaller syringes actually have higher pressures so that they understand the reason behind...

    FlyingScot replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Medications

    You might want to check your facts about

  16. Is a paramedic degree required?

    FlyingScot replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Some states require that there is at least an EMT-B or a paramedic in the patient care area. Caused major trouble for teams that do a combination of ground/fixed/rotor

  17. Ohio Health and OSU

    FlyingScot replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have many friends who work at OSU and their experience with the union is quite opposite yours. They seem quite happy. Very true about pay and bennies at

  18. Missed a fracture.

    FlyingScot replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    What! Was your x-ray vision broken that day? I hope you got it fixed

  19. Best Burn Centers in US??

    FlyingScot replied to guest454229's topic in Burn

    Gotcha. It's a great hospital and northeast Ohio is lucky to have it. Acutally, Ohio as a whole is fortunate that most of their larger hospital systems have an extremely long history of serving the...

  20. Best Burn Centers in US??

    FlyingScot replied to guest454229's topic in Burn

    Their burn unit has also only been around since the 1970's not since the turn of the

  21. NICU time count towards flight

    FlyingScot replied to young33's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Not in large teaching hospitals with multiple ICUs. These are also the kind of facilities that have flight crews and transport

  22. NICU time count towards flight

    FlyingScot replied to young33's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    NICU experience will really only count if your goal is a dedicated neonatal/pediatric team. There are a handful of these kind of teams that have their own aircraft, most contract with the local HEMS...

  23. The most annoying student

    FlyingScot replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    No we aren't. But we are human and sometimes humans cry from things like frustration, desperation and shame. I tried to be nice. Apparently I wasted my

  25. Cultural Diversity and Tattoos

    FlyingScot replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    I haven't seen one post that indicated that anyone was "upset". I HAVE seen posts from people who are actual nurses with experience telling it like it is. And no, we would not correct a patient's...
