    Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    Do-over replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Nobody "then" cheated? I doubt that. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 PS - It is ballsy, to say the...

    Which stethoscope should I buy as a Nursing student?

    Do-over replied to NursingStoodent's topic in General Students

    I simply don't understand the love affair with littman. I do not like the tunable diaphragms. I used a cheap Sprague through school. My opinion is that if you can't hear the basics with something...

    What do you think about this? Giving narcan to addicts, their friends and family.

    Do-over replied to Mulan's topic in Patient Medications

    I would not ever say that an addict's life is not worth saving. I DO think that the narcan should be given out with plenty of education. Comparing it to epi may not be fair - if a parent/teacher,...

    What do you think about this? Giving narcan to addicts, their friends and family.

    Do-over replied to Mulan's topic in Patient Medications

    I am not against it, that's for sure. I don't really see the users using it on themselves, would they really recognize an overdose and be willing to kill the high? On one hand, I'd want it...

    Transferring to ICU?

    Do-over replied to jamielynn0802's topic in Critical Care

    Well, I think that you are still nervous, but learn to put on your "game-face". Plus, when I worked on the floor - I often didn't KNOW what to do when my patient was crashing and was maybe afraid...

    Losing Overtime pay!

    Do-over replied to joccz123's topic in General Nursing

    See, this is what I don't get. I've had people tell me that, but I say if I am performing a service for the hospital or if I am completing mandatory training/education then I am entitled to OT for...

    Losing Overtime pay!

    Do-over replied to joccz123's topic in General Nursing

    99/100 I say no when called, I just don't like to work extra shifts. If I am tempted, I ask if they are offering any incentive. If they need help badly enough, they will pay extra. Hasn't happened...

    Volunteering for the weekend for Scout trip?

    Do-over replied to CloudySue's topic in General Nursing

    Back in my "summer camp working days" something to make the kids poop was considered THE cure for homesickness. And, the indoor bathroom at the health hut was a miracle cure for constipation...

    Do-over replied to NurseCollins799's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Well, there is the poorly understood Pee-tach, which isn't an arrhythmia at all... I don't know about any science behind it, but could it be related to the infamous "last poo" or "last turn"? Anyway,...

    What critical vital signs would institute a rapid response

    Do-over replied to uniquegifts1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My opinion is that if you are questioning whether or not to call the RRT, you need to go ahead and call. At worst, an inexperienced nurse gets an opportunity to learn something new (I've been there)....

    Everybody poops. If you are lucky. I was actually upset recently because my patient hadn't pooped yet. Would have rejoiced over a large, soul-cleansing
