    2 step TB skin testing every year?

    Tait replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is just someone derailing your thread with a random question because they don't know where to post

    I am seriously looking at nursing. I have a long good/bad history with schooling

    Tait replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Nursing

    Breast Cancer Pumpkin

    Tait replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    An Interesting Thread: Productivity

    Tait replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I actually breached the idea of an admission/discharge nurse to my hospital. I don't think anything will ever come of it, however I feel it would increase positive patient outcomes and make patients...

    Do you think they/employers are watching what we post?

    I think having PRN to lift the load on heavy days is a great idea! Though I wonder how this balances

    Drug error

    Tait replied to coneartist's topic in General Nursing

    Mandated Flu vaccine?

    Tait replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I personally don't care about having the flu shot mandated. Everything else in health care is mandated, TB screenings, Hep B, TDap. To me it is just another precaution for us and our patients. If you...

    Tait replied to RedRaiderStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Tait replied to RedRaiderStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Future MSN

    Tait replied to orlycst's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only thing you should fear is shutting down your dreams over something trivial! Forge ahead! Do what your heart sings to you to do and never let anything get in your way! That is how...

    "The Golden Hour"

    Tait posted a topic in General Nursing

    "The Golden Hour" is a term my facility uses to dictate an hour of time from 645 and 745, during shift change, where patients are not supposed to be transferred to the floor. It was believed this hour...

    Tait replied to johnny depp23's topic in Nursing Humor

    This reminds me of the time this punky, young hospitalist used the water fountain in the nurses station. It was known for over-spraying onto the floor. Anyway he sprayed water all over the floor,...

    Should I renew?

    Tait replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I sent NSO an email to change my work status and asked them about coverage while I am not working. I think I might just renew it anyway since it really isn't that
