  5. AN Scholarship

    Coffee Nurse replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Nursing

    $3 for everyone asking the forum to do their homework without attempting it first. $5 for everyone who doesn't even ask, just types in what sounds like a Google search string and posts it. $10 for...

  6. Labor as a spring board to acute care?

    Coffee Nurse replied to jcol1460's topic in General Nursing

    Just to say, I'd hazard a guess that the majority of high-risk pregnancies are to do with the baby, not the mom, and as an L&D nurse you'll have little to nothing to do with a NICU-bound baby (one...

  7. Scrubs and Schedule

    Coffee Nurse replied to Faithy123's topic in School, College Programs

    These are really questions better directed to someone at the school. All programs are different. Good

  8. Labor as a spring board to acute care?

    Coffee Nurse replied to jcol1460's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry...in what way is L&D not acute

  9. New grad per diem job offer - am I being ripped off?

    Coffee Nurse replied to meganec17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd say no way. You need guaranteed hours and structure as a new grad. And a per diem should definitely be making more than regular employees, in exchange for giving up benefits as you

  10. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    Just to follow up on this topic, I received an email from Continental recently looking for past nurses to come back and work for them, saying they have a new owner. Their website has finally been...

  11. Horrible first job - need advice

    Coffee Nurse replied to PAnurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sorry you're going through this :-/ Unfortunately I don't have any advice to offer on where you should go, but I definitely think you shouldn't stay where you are. Aside from the fact they sound...

  12. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    ...if you've resorted to asserting superiority based on the length of your membership on this board, I suspect you don't have any valid points to make. It's a shame. This topic is an important one...

  13. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Okay.

  14. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I'm at work tonight, so rest assured I'm not staying up just to "get in the last word." Your context of handling death is certainly different than mine. I appreciate the fact that no fallen soldier...

  15. Multiple State Licenses right out of school?

    Coffee Nurse replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure you can't be licensed by examination in two different states, but there's nothing preventing you from applying for licensure by endorsement in the second state straight after passing...

  16. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I know what cell lysis is. I was referring to the "cranial cavity full of water and lysed neurons" that you've repeated at least three times in this thread. As you say you're a parent, I'm surprised...

  17. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Broughden, judging by a peek at your posting history, you don't appear to be in the medical profession at all, your repeated catchphrase about lysed neurons notwithstanding. You've missed the entire...

  18. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    If anybody would bother to read my other responses in this thread, they'll see I have been very strongly on the side of the hospital, the medical team, and Alfie's right to a peaceful and dignified...

  19. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Can we temper our zeal for realistic descriptions with a little common decency please. Those of us advocating for Alfie on this thread are trying to argue his humanity. Language like this is crude and...

  20. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I keep thinking of that heartbreaking photo that was circulating after Alfie was extubated. His mother was holding him and someone -- presumably his father -- was propping up his arm to make it look...

  21. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Incorrect. I wonder if there's something about working in pediatrics, especially on the younger end of the spectrum, that makes it easier to see these children as people in their own right. Alfie did...

  22. can RNs change specialties often

    Coffee Nurse replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'd try to find a structured, formalized way into it, like floating, rather than just changing jobs every year or two. Job hopping doesn't look great on a resume, even if it's changing...

  23. FOMO & anxiety. Need advise.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Octobermyfav's topic in General Nursing

    ...did you try making the effort to keep in touch with

  24. Pre-op thinks I sent them a mess

    Coffee Nurse replied to Elaken's topic in Medical-Surgical

    How condescending can you be? In that "big long tome" that you couldn't be bothered to read, there was lots of information that meant your response was completely

  25. Can night shift cause missed periods

    Coffee Nurse replied to Floatnurse137's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, I don't think it's professional, but as long as the patients were taken care
