  1. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    TrailBlazerRN replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with you to an extent. If the male nurse is uncomfortable inserting a female cath, then a female should do it. Because if the nurse is uncomfortable, then then the patient will be too. But...

  2. Any St. lawrence memorial/regis college.. nurses?

    TrailBlazerRN replied to wackyj2000's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I realize this thread is old but I thought I'd post for future reader's sake. Regis college has a really great nursing program, but theres one catch. When you apply, you'll be accepted as a...

  3. Stop The Title Madness

    TrailBlazerRN replied to INFIDEL's topic in General Nursing

    My feelings are split when it comes to this type of thing. When you've worked hard and earned the degree/license/certification/title, I see no problem with people who list them. I mean, it's not like...

  4. RNs doing chemical peels?

    TrailBlazerRN replied to Pete3's topic in General Nursing

  7. didn't pass second semester

    TrailBlazerRN replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Just like my mother tells me, "if at first you do not succeed, try, try again". Everyone makes mistakes, and they learn from them. I suggest you look back on last semester and examine what you did...

  8. Days or Nights

    TrailBlazerRN replied to DBLOCC's topic in General Nursing

    As previously posted, it is technically better to work days. Night shift workers are at a higher risk for depression and sleep conditions. But on the contrary, some find the night shift less hectic,...

  10. Indian Nurses to Solve Nursing "Shortage"

    TrailBlazerRN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE Oprah, but I love discovery health even more! I watch the DHC every day... my favorites are Code Blue, Trauma: Life in the ER, and Dr. G. I am livid that Oprah would do this.. its so...

  13. Help!! New Nurse in Distress..

    TrailBlazerRN replied to buffscotty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would say go with ER, you don't want to take a job and be miserable. And I think that if you took the ICU job, there would be some regret. But one thing to note- new grads going straight into ER...
