  1. Nurses don't know the lab

    FlyingScot replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    There's ranting and then there's all out verbal assaults followed by snark. If he wanted sympathy his approach was all

  2. Nurses don't know the lab

    FlyingScot replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    If you treat them in the same manner you have spoken to us here they may have a different opinion about your "respect". Also, I don't recall any place on this forum where lab techs were being "bashed"...

  3. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    If it had only remained on the topic of health care workers and mandatory flu shots it would have been fine. But no, that didn't

  4. Nurses don't know the lab

    FlyingScot replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    I hand carried a platelet agg 5 floors down to our lab because our process is for them to check it first before it is sent on to the lab that does the actual test. Our lab techs are to then hand carry...

  5. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Boston, I actually asked for this thread to be closed. I'd go so far as to have it removed if I could. The reason being is exactly what you've stated. I became seriously concerned as it now comes up...

  6. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    FlyingScot replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I most certainly do! Turning it around though. Do you know what it's like being an actual

  7. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I think the world would be better if we just closed this thread. It is irretrievably off-topic with no hope of return and high probability of being de-railed again and again by posters with...

  8. Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

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

    You need to show your professor our responses. This question is totally ridiculous for an anatomy

    FlyingScot replied to pcatorn's topic in General Students

    Hee

  10. Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

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

    I totally forgot about that. So she'll need pharmacology as well. This doesn't make

  11. Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

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

    I could certainly answer the questions for you but frankly if it really is for anatomy and only your second week the answers are going to go way over your head and won't be of any help. Not because...

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

    Whaaaaatt?! They're asking you these kind of questions? That's

  13. Document Everything!

    FlyingScot replied to pcatorn's topic in General Students

    Observed patient's chest wall go up and then go down. Will continue to

  14. Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

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

    What are you studying to be? This seems like a rather complicated question for a basic anatomy

  15. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Okay it has become clear to me that there is something pathologic going on

  16. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    And yet you posted in such a way that a non- medical person reading your posts and assuming you knew what you were talking about would think this was actually happening. Totally irresponsible and if...

  17. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to say something in all caps because yes my intent is to yell. This post is one of the most uneducated, uninformed and irresponsible things I have ever heard an alleged nurse say. WE DO...

  18. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    FlyingScot replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Why in the heck was mine deleted? It was not in the least bit a personal attack. It was confirming that we were actually in agreement and how the poster's school was doing things the right way and how...

  19. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    FlyingScot replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Sorry, by the way you were writing I thought you were an entry to practice student. But what I say still stands and I think you should be able to understand that most nurses would absolutely love to...

  20. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Do you understand how drug trials, particularly cancer treatment drugs, are run? There is no chance of "placebo affect" as the evidence of efficacy they look at are measurable not subjective. By...

  21. Brian Short News

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Brian created a family of nurses from all walks of life, every specialty, young, old, new, not so new and from countries I've always dreamed of visiting and now have friends in because of his site. I...

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I posted something I thought was very nice and it was removed. I'm not sure why. Would you mind returning it to this thread if you think it's appropriate because I'm not sure I can replicate

  24. low oxygen levels

    FlyingScot replied to jonie8693's topic in Cardiac

    That's a great idea. Find out what her defect and repair was and look them up. Pediatric cardiology is absolutely fascinating. Once you do if you have any questions or just want to share what you've...

  25. low oxygen levels

    FlyingScot replied to jonie8693's topic in Cardiac

    As has been mentioned this absolutely can be normal for a child with a cardiac history and giving oxygen might, in fact, do them great harm. As an ER nurse you and your peers might find yourself...
