Good question, and I am surprised the the "emergency trained nurse practitioner" doesn't know the answer. If you check out the description of the video on YouTube there are other intersting tells. Anyway, there are several articles on the subject. H...

This "advice" is dangerous. I understand this is a site for medical professionals, but putting this out on you tube is negligent.

Have you seen the original Brian De Palma Carrie? If not, you should. As healthcare professionals we are the first line of defense against abusive parents who do not tell their children these things. It is absolutely our responsibility to advocate f...

Always bring your penis.

Sorry you are incorrect. The organizers of the rally are promoting two bills, S.864 and HR 1602. They specify numerical minimum ratios by unit. (b)Minimum direct care registered nurse-to-Patient ratios (1)In general Except as otherwise provided in...

Neurogenic bladder is related to neurological injury, not foley insertion. Was this from a textbook or an idiot nursing instructor?

It's antiintellectuallism. Nurses are supposed to be good little worker bees who do what they're told and don't think. Thinking people rock the boat.

FYI that ring on your finger ain't no chain. Slavery is outlawed in this country. He can support his own self

I am a nurse, I have a medical education, and it is far superior to a Google search. The writer is so keen to get bent out of shape and offended the didn't even stop to think who the statement is aimed at -namely vapid internet celebrities and former...

This is utter horsepucky And you know it.

Have you also noticed this $#!T getting worse? Blows my Daemon mind. I'm from Southern California. When the KKK have a rally here, we put them in the hospital. That being said I live in a rural area with real honest-to-god peckerwoods and aryan na...

You, ma'am, are racist

These are the most insane comments I have ever read on this site. What the OP is experiencing is illegal and should not be tolerated. Filing a charge with the EEOC is free and easy. Obtaining a lawyer costs more but it will be worth it when you don'...

It is racist, traitorous and unacceptable to fly the confederate flag.

What the OP is experiencing is illegal.

Report this to your facility's compliance department immediately. Also report it to the EEOC, and get a lawyer. Sue them into oblivion.

I would appreciate if more information on this even were provided. For example, the location (Corner of First St NE and Constitution Ave Permit area 9 http://www.uscapitolpolice.gov/special_events/map.pdf), the purpose (Support of S. 864: National N...

The DC rally is for national nurse to patient ratios. I have been a part of this initiative since it began.

I have been a nurse in California since before there were ratios. What you are suggesting did not happen here after ratios were passed (in 2004) and fully implemented (in 2008).

Not true. Ratios are working in California

I worked at union facilities and had no problem getting vacation. At non-union facilities I made $20/hr less and could be fired for complete made-up nonsense. That being said, Kaiser's system of union bureaucracy is much like described. It's not li...

I work in the ICU. The patients rooms are where one goes to fart.

Anticholinergics like benadryl are implicated in dementia.

My facility has instituted this test. I emailed with the developer of the test in order to request study materials, (something like the test plan for the CCRN) and received this reply: "If you are taking a BKAT, go to the BKAT Webpage at www.BKAT-tot...

Nope. Tedious, not hard
