  3. NG out-what to do?

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to montinurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This sounds appropriate to me. You would not had wanted the patient to continue gagging while you went to check to attempt to place it back down. You had reasonable expectation that the NG Tube was...

  7. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It sounds like the same evidence based practice they been trying to teach us in our nursing programs. It doesn't say anything there to dictate the care people can get. It looks like when summarized to...

  8. Will most hospitals hire a person with a bachelors dgree before a person with an ADN.

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yea, It does seem to be the trend to 'hate' on those with the higher degrees in nursing. Although in the case of BSN nurses saying that about MSN nurses, I don't know many MSN nurses that work at the...

  9. Will most hospitals hire a person with a bachelors dgree before a person with an ADN.

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think this is completely dependent on the area of the country. Where I am at the first traditional BSN program graduates ,I believe, next May (2010). Therefore, the overwhelming majority of the few...

  10. Will most hospitals hire a person with a bachelors dgree before a person with an ADN.

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hospitals in my area of Western Arkansas just want a pulse and a license. Sometimes it's questionable on the pulse

  15. I Quit!

    Super Nurse JoshuA posted a topic in General Nursing

    I quit my job yesterday. They were going to try and staff my acute med/surg floor with me (1 rn), 1 lpn and 2 aids for 28. I told the floor no thank you, I quit, and I left the building. (I had not...

  16. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it matters very much where your at. My brother works in a factory on the line, has been at his job the same amount of time I've been employed as an RN, and makes the same as I do. This factory...

  17. I quit!

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to JadeRN7's topic in General Nursing

    From my recent experience from quitting is that new Nurse recruiters from hospitals have called my references, and evidently told one of them when nurses quit (suddenly) hospitals usually offer very...

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to will robinson's topic in General Nursing

    What states are y'all from? On my former med-surg floor (also in school) we pushed a wide range of cardiac drugs on the floor (Dig, Vasotec, Lopressor, atropine, various others) even when the patient...

  20. Who is in Nursing for the money?

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I like most others agree the money is def. nice to have, but I don't think the money is enough to keep me into nursing if I did not like it since I feel is the money we're paid is not comparable to...

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to Super Nurse JoshuA's topic in General Nursing

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to raisonbrancruch's topic in General Nursing

    In Nursing School my class was around 40, with 10 classmates being male. That's a pretty good ratio. I've done med/surg and at one time we had 4 males on the floor as nurses (not including aids). I...

  23. Do Nurses Live in Fear of Being Fired???

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to WVStarFish's topic in General Nursing

    I don't live in fear of being fired. I quit! I agree though, it's surprising in health care how if you point out negative points of care your labeled for having a "bad attitude" because your trying...

  24. Scope of Practice

    Super Nurse JoshuA replied to Auntiegrade_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing
