  1. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    The "oath" is a sentimental throwback with no binding meaning. It is each state's nurse practice act that determines how its nurses practice. It is the bible, and you'd best pay attention to

  2. Need an Interesting, Sweet, Awesome, Unique, Different Research Paper Ideas!

    pennyaline replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you from the point of view of someone who has read a lot of papers written about the same topic over and over again, that most instructors would rather read a familiar topic covered in a...

  3. M.R.S.A or mersa?

    pennyaline replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

  4. Nursing student going into clinicals with a stomach virus

    pennyaline replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    Do nothing. It's between the student and her instructor. There is no such thing as a stomach "virus," by the way. And even if there was, it wouldn't be

  5. how can we fix healthcare if ppl keep abusing the system?

    pennyaline replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    But isn't that still a government funded social program?? Anyway, it's been suggested that the government go into the business of supplying clean syringes and drugs for addicts in the interest of...

  6. how can we fix healthcare if ppl keep abusing the system?

    pennyaline replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody called an ambulance over McDonald's speed of service. The police were called. It snarled up the 911 emergency system, but it didn't raise health insurance costs. Calling 911 for what we...

  7. Measuring I & O with CBI

    pennyaline replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    It's not random. There is a total number of cc's of irrigation run during the tally period. Once all of the output for that same period is measured totaled up, the number of cc's of irrigation...

  8. Plzzzz small help needed friends...

    pennyaline replied to rita.kumar83's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you sure about that? If everything is gravity flow, the secondary hangs higher than the primary and thus has greater force than the primary infusion. The secondary piggy back will run until it's...

  9. Student Nurses opinion in online chat VS. being reported to Board of Re

    pennyaline replied to buddha619's topic in General Nursing

    For cripe's sake, put your big Nanny spoon away! There is no reason for the OP to stop chatting with random strangers on the Internet. If that is a person's preferred course of behavior, so be it and...

  10. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    Tijoux, can you clarify something for me? This is a copy and paste snippet from your original post in this thread; Here is a copy and paste of one of your posts written December 9, 2009, from a...

  11. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    LOLOLOLOLOL!

  12. Are nurses smarter than resident physicians?

    pennyaline replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of Romazicon. I must be a resident physician, too. What???? Back in the days when I worked in large metropolitan teaching hospitals, we found that the fresh July 1's were truly...

  13. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    As they say on Law & Order, the poster is assuming facts not in evidence. As we don't know if this incident as presented by the OP is factual or not and no substantive information has been...

  14. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    Uh... uh huh. Uh huh. Um, okay. Tell me why the ACLU can't represent her in a court of law. Oh wait. On second thought, don't. Never mind. If ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to know. Can someone put...

  15. Fearful of Licensure in South Carolina

    pennyaline replied to Tijoux's topic in General Nursing

    "Fearful of licensure in..." Fearful?? Judas H. Priest! Do you have any more loaded questions to bring up? We have no answers in terms of the actions of your state's BON. They do what they must after...

  16. License reinstated but no one will hire me

    pennyaline replied to 47lpn's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm not sure that you do have to tell them outright. Are there actual restrictions on where or when you can work and with what supervision, or just a history of disciplinary action? If there are...

  17. Suspended and Unsure.

    pennyaline replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you say about the facility not wanting to lose a specialist's admissions, but come on. When you receive a disciplinary action, they have to tell you what you did! The choice you were...

  18. Suspended and Unsure.

    pennyaline replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Pox after pox after pox upon him. But dear, WHY did you resign? The options your manager gave you don't make sense, and the punishment does not appear to fit any crime. I don't know what you did, but...

  19. Tell Me What You Think....

    pennyaline replied to jorla9903's topic in General Nursing

    And rapid response was not one of the answers provided for the

  20. INFPs where are you working in nursing?

    pennyaline replied to N51308's topic in General Nursing

    I was not aware that you had "titled this thread to INFPs ONLY," or even that such a topic limitation could be done! Still, the suggestions I made to you are valid in terms of M-B philosophy (fyi:...

  21. INFPs where are you working in nursing?

    pennyaline replied to N51308's topic in General Nursing

    That is not correct. PACU is a high emotion, high stress intensive care setting in which nurses may have three or four recovering patients to care for depending on how big the OR department is, how...

  22. INFPs where are you working in nursing?

    pennyaline replied to N51308's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that anyone still used the Meyers-Briggs personality models. Meyers-Briggs says you're introspective, so go ahead and be so! What are you like? What do you want? What do you...

  23. IV forms of Zofran and Decadron given PO???

    pennyaline replied to GleeGum's topic in Emergency

    If the I.V. med has been ordered for P.O. administration, the requirement for correct route is satisfied. I am not concerned about giving those I.V. meds P.O. What risk would be involved in doing so?...

  24. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    pennyaline replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I acknowledged that. And I know fully well that she saw what her future might be, but she chose to deny marital problems and took a path that was unrealistic (as most do, it's not meant to criticize...

  25. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    pennyaline replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Conversely, if you don't really want advice, don't waste time asking for it. Your defensiveness is unflattering. You asked for advice, dear, and that's what I gave you. AND I told you that I was...
