  1. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    kadokin replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank You! RNS performing surgery, WOW! I have NEVER heard of such a thing. From the looks of this thread, I'm ignorant. As an RN, BSN, I have no desire to perform surgery, or to enter a "training...

    kadokin replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

  3. nursing a calling?

    kadokin replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't have said it better myself, clee1. Calling-schmalling. I went into nursing for non-altruistic reasons but I knew I had the cognitive/emotional raw material. The altruistic stuff is...

    As far as bigotry and evil go, I personally believe they are distortions of natural inclinations to be suspicious/watchful of others that are different from ourselves and to always "look out for...

    kadokin replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    BPD is a defined Psychological disease, and some believe it is biological/chemical in its nature. Sorry, I don't have any handy "rule of thumb". Always remember, try to be compassionate if...

    kadokin replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    OMG! I think siblings are God's way of showing us how scary and unpredictable life can be, and how sometimes you have to cope w/the rude and crude behavior of your fellow human beings. A female who...

    kadokin replied to kristi-lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    To op: Vote w/your feet and get the "f" outta there. Let them TRY to find someone that will take this assignment. I'm guessing they will have no luck. You have earned your stripes. If you have...

  11. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    kadokin replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think you're right. When your loved one is ill, you grasp at straws and try to find comfort/resolution in anything you can. The doc probably WAS trying to divert attention away from his being...

  13. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    kadokin replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

  14. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    kadokin replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I would leave any emotions out of it-I would, instead, focus on the idea that the comments made by the doc made the spouse question basically if the pt was safe under your care-that the...

  17. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    kadokin replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of agree w/you. Some pt's go too far. Then again. . . What makes YOU feel comfortable when you are sick, vulnerable and not familiar w/the environment and don't know what you are allowed to...

    kadokin replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I say ALL of them. If there is a beer under age 16, or an age 15 under beer, it is evidence against your theory. Still haven't explored this wason thing or person or

  21. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    kadokin replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I believe your post echoes the last one by Fritzer, although stated in a different way. I also believe you are not giving your self enough credit for your scientific, fact-based approach. The pt....

  24. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    kadokin replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, actually, I thought I was talking about science, or, research anyway. Ya know, actually testing and re-testing a theory to make sure it generally holds true, not just in a few specific cases....

    kadokin replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I get this. If you want to prove a hypothesis, it isn't it better to have the largest sample possible? Did I miss something in all those years of
