Super Nurse JoshuA

I would also like to see some NP's answer the OP's questions.

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 going to be discontinued due to the patient having a...

Hi! I'm a RN with a little over 2 years of experience, and I'm about one year away from graduating from a RN to BSN program. I have started thinking about going to graduate school. I have mostly Med/Surg experience , and have noted that the Universit...

I'm rather new to home health and have a question. A few weeks ago, I was attempting to contact a patient this week for a discharge from home health to record discharge oasis data. I informed my boss I was unable to get a hold of this patient multipl...

Thank you everyone answering for my question!!

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 me: 1) Compare different treatments 2) Create a "...

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 bedside. I can understand the all of sudden wanti...

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 prepared BSN nurses in this area are ADN/Diploma's...

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

I actually did a google search tonight thinking about nursing retirement....came across the article too: http://www.jstor.org/pss/3409901 Wonder what happened to the "Harmon Plan" ??

I may be wrong, but if I'm correct: This 500,000 number came from the government's nursing population study. It was 500,000 RN with *active* licenses, physically able, that choose not to work in nursing mostly for pay, working conditions, and materni...

When I was in nursing school one of the instructors stated they were going to put us through sensitivity training....to make us less sensitive to people yelling at us....

Just voicing about my nerves I'm starting to get worked up about my starting my new job! I took a job at a local hospital to stay close to my mom while she is going through some tough times instead of what appears to be my dream position about an hou...

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 clocked in or took report). For several months 2 nur...

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 is also not union. So sometimes even for "just" t...

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 little information regarding the nurse especially i...

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 is not on cardiac monitoring. Only LPN's were not ...

I have found out from my coworkers that Yes, Management did come in and work that night. I have found out that yesterday management informed the floor that regardless of how many nurses are working the floor they will be held full which is 30 beds. ...

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 the increasing level of responsibility shifted to us...

I would like to thank everyone that has responded so far! I was honestly wondering if other nurses were going to view my behavior may is being unprofessional or out of line. I have heard that my Unit Manager is telling others she plans to take this "...

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 think in general a lot of guys gravitate towards ICU...

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 to actually make things work better. Is it like thi...

I don't think this board allows legal advice. I can say at my, um, former hospital Nursing Assistants and transporters were allowed to place foley cath if they had "proper" training.
