  3. Dove Apparel Uniforms

    Dove has a scholarship award that you can apply for that would cover the cost of your uni's. I think you have to write a letter and get one from a professor. I got mine that way. Those were so...
  4. Yup, we are always told Never, Never do this. The MAIN rationale I have always been told:...your pt is the one under your license. So how on earth can you give your UN-divided attention to her if...
  5. "I don't know... if we would have been better managing our money, I probably could have "stepped back" to part time nursing maybe, a long time ago, even with him in the job that he's in now." Best...
  6. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    Is the title a rhetorical question? LOL. The answer in my mind is summed up as: Nursing! All of the Responsibility! None of the Power!. Well, I feel that way at times anyway. Quite simply, if a...
  7. Nursing Student with a Drug Addiction

    While i was in nursing school....I was drug tested at least several times per year and we could be sent for a random test at anytime if they had reason to suspect. So between that and the drug tests...
  8. No more Mr. Nice Guy (New Year Resolution)

    Personally...and call me idealistic...but I am a quiet person..I like to go a good job..and I am always the first to be targeted by these types..(AKA why I sprung for the BSN, thinking that I would...
  9. Question about spacer use with trach pts

    Well.....Yep...I looked at the exhalation valve. I see what you mean. We attached a bacteria filter (like the one from the vents) to the ambubag, then the mdi adapter, then a short piece of corrugated...
  10. Hey Peds Nurses, I am a peds nurse now...Have been for about 2 years..I had to learn alot on the job...especially since my cases are specialty home care cases. Many schools now offer minimal...
  11. Structured Training for Pediatric Nurses?

    Ha. Jeanette73, Just a technicality. Since Peds is a specialty anyway..I should have said Hi Tech versus Lo Tech...and all that means is trach and vent versus natural airway. Its funny...because...
  12. I wanted to put this in the general nursing catagory...but I think the folks on the home care section might have better incite for me. I have come to the conclusion that H.C. agencies are a business...

    At Bayada I have a 485 on the first day a case
  14. Awesome..thanks for all the responses! It was just such an off the wall comment..our debate got a bit heated. See, that's why its never good to believe everything your hear, lol. Maybe she was...
  15. Question about spacer use with trach pts

    Nice info Grntea...never heard anyone explain it like that. Makes perfect sense. Here is a link on how to give a MDI to a trach with an Ambubag and give a few breaths to get the med in. I have a...
  16. New RN 3 Mistakes in first month on Job :(

    First of all. Take a deep breath, or ten, and move on. Don't dwell on it..nothing you can do about it now. Being so stressed out is NOT going to improve your performance any...if anything it would...
  17. Ben Stiller as Gaylord Fokker

    Well....obviously I am no expert on the topic or really even what male nurses have to deal with in the profession...A vague idea, perhaps. They did paint him as a whimpy kinda soft guy I'll give you...
  18. Ben Stiller as Gaylord Fokker

    Really...I felt that movie sold him as a Hero. One of the few male nurse images in the media that I can think of...Wonderful thing for the profession because people believe about us what they see on...
  19. Would You Rather....

    Aww. KelRN215. Been there at
  20. Would You Rather....

    Meh. IMHO. Respect is overrated and fleeting. I do what makes me happy..and that happens to be bedside care... What job would you end up with your Doctorate anyway? Don't they end up often in...
  21. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    Oh, Fox News. Should have known. Lol. Over the internet, we would call someone who wrote something like that in a forum a "Troll". AKA...A purposefully inflammatory article designed to get attention...
  22. Trach patient with EB?

    Thanks for the info...I will definitely have to keep that story in mind!..its not hard for people who don't know to cover it with a blanket or something too.. We recently found one setup that the...
  23. Trach patient with EB?

    Where I am from in PA, we have a humidification setup that the corrugated tubing (with or without a heater wire) is connected directly to a t-piece (same kind as the vent circuits have) with a short...

  25. Cracked and Bleeding hands...help?!

    Vasoline seems to heal me up fast too. Other suggestions: Winter Gloves...if you don't wear them they help alot! When hand washing...avoid superhot water. It's the rubbing action that kills the germs...
