  1. Techs on PACU???

    In what way would having unlicensed personnel ACLS-certified benefit patients? I'm not being rude, just curious why you would do this, and to what end? You can't assist in a code more than you already...
  2. does age REALLY matter?

    Ugh, What a sad, sniping reply. The OP wasnt attacking anyone. Can't we all just get
  3. does age REALLY matter?

    Hmm. That's a great story:rolleyes:... but no one said they had the 'answers to life's questions'. Young people are just trying to make it through life like older people are... we're not
  4. does age REALLY matter?

    Sheesh... people need to let up on this person. She simply made a statement/asked a question. Most of you reacted by attacking her and becoming extremely defensive, instead of responding in a mature...

    Everyone is paid the same wage?
  6. Scary to think that unlicensed personnel have anything to do with narc
  7. random drug tests?

    I drive fast- sometimes reeeaaallly fast. Speeding is illegal, and I am willing to break the law when it suits my personal needs in regard to the speed limit. Should I then be suspended from work when...
  8. Tired of impaired nurses

    I am a big believer in personal responsiblility. I find it ridiculous to consider addiction a 'mental illness'. You choose what you put in your body- end of story. I just see it in a very black and...

  10. Frustrated with Drs ordering unneeded test

    Is this person of child-bearing age? Why can't they require a license to have children? I have so many
  11. I am pathetic.

    For 20+ years I had a stuffed Hello Kitty that played Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It was given to me by my dad when I came home from the hospital, and I haven't seen him in 15 years. Once when we...
  12. Is It OK for Nurses to Do These Things?

    So as far as #3... If pt A needs 0.2mg clonidine and there's none in the box... pt B has an extra dose and I give that to pt B. All our meds are barcoded and individually packaged... no names on them...
  13. If you need a good cry....

    I am not a crier or a sap. I have been crying for 20 minutes. I don't even know what to say, except that I hope that man and his baby have the best life possible. I need to hug my mom
  14. Why do dying people reach upward?

    I would wager that "heaven" being commonly associated with 'up' has something to do with it. Lots of metabolic and chemical processes going on, a dying person's need to feel that there is something of...

    I enjoyed reading this thread. I love learning more about different cultures/religions. Thanks,
