I need help understanding the differences between dysarthria, and aphagia in stroke patients. How are you all testing for these in your stroke patient assessments. The procedure in our facility is very vague, and it has many nurses confused. Thank...

The research job sounds good to me as far as the hours. What type of organization are you working for? I'm not too familiar with research type nursing jobs just curious. Also do you have a BSN?

Hi Ryan, I know the feeling. I just started my first nursing job and I'm 39. I had a 10 yr. plus career in another field and paid my dues there, so I feel you. I think you do have to pay your dues in Nursing and you will at times feel under the mi...

Dear Rehab Nurse I am very sorry! Prayers, Thoughts and Hugs out to you! Take care of yourself, Kat

Pyxis is like a computerized receptical for meds on the floor/unit. The nurse logs in, and selects her pt. & then selects the meds due for that pt. Making the process systematic. It has various drawers & slots & won't let you move on t...

I'm a new grad with no experience but in school we did learn to never pull meds for more than one pt. at a time, because of the possibility of mixing them up. Your system seems mix up proof to me. I did see nurses during clinicals pulling meds for m...

Yikes. I interviewed for an ED position and now I'm wondering if I know enough about the reality of ED. Just to clarify, are you saying you had 15 patients at the same time? YIKES, or did you have 15 pts. in and out by 2pm....I guess that sounds a l...

Dear Mommy and RN, I'm a new grad so I am just a bit confused. When you say nurses who specialize without paying their dues first... I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that a new grad that goes into ICU out of school isn't a real nurse or one that...

Wow! I guess I just was not expecting it to be this tough! So many of the Hospitals have cut their new grad programs. I live in San Francisco, anyone feel my pain? Any suggestions? I'm just going for your basic Med Surg, Med Tele, & I would be op...
