   Male Nurses/female Patients

   ramonmalino replied to ern91's topic in Men

   I can appreciate that. Me personally, if I ever saw an MD coming at me with a foley I'd send them away and ask for a nurse. I don't even remember the last time I saw an MD put in a catheter

   Do I have to be an A student to be a nurse? ...there's no hope for me.

   ramonmalino replied to BunnyJ's topic in Nursing

   There are many roads into the nursing profession. I am sure you will find one of them. Grades are not the all important determinant of whether you will make a good nurse or not. Keep plugging away and keep us updated on your progress

   What do you guys during your off-time?

   I spend my time rooting for the red sox, patriots, celtics, or revolution depending on the season. I play golf and spend time with friends. Lately though, after looking at my post-christmas bank account, all I've done is work. And when I'm not at wor...

   Paramedic on Medical Surgical Units outside of just the ER

   ramonmalino replied to ParamedicGuy's topic in Nursing

   I'm not for it at all. It's not that I'm biased against paramedics (my brother and uncle are both very competent paramedics) my problem would be taking away more interventions from nurses. I'll try to stay off my soap box on this subject, but I don't...

    Large med pass at 6 am!!!!!!

    ramonmalino replied to NurseCard's topic in Nursing

    As a lowly student I can only comment on what we are taught in lecture and clinicals, but it has been drilled into our heads that if the med is ordered for 0900 you have an hour on each end to pass it, so you'd have from 0800-1000 for your meds. I'd ...

    ramonmalino replied to tattooednursie's topic in Nursing

    I am so scared

    ramonmalino replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you're over thinking it. Just relax, take a deep breath and you'll be fine. Doasge calc isn't as bad as you think, the formulas are actually pretty easy once you practice them a couple of times, if you want, PM me and I can give you a cou...
