  1. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've lived here all of my life and it's sad to see the familiar faces at the grocery stores striking outside as it gets colder here (even though cold for us is warm for most of the rest of the...

  2. How do you study?

    SC RN replied to giggles66's topic in General Nursing

    1. Study six days a week but be sure to take one whole day off for yourself. 2. Study in small increments and vary by reading, rewriting notes, listening to taped classes, flashcards, etcetera. 3....

  3. Differences in nursing care UAP/Tech vs RN

    SC RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Great information ... but very biased, don't you think? Not all techs ignore obvious bruising, ignore patient complaints, are uncommunicative, are rude and think prune juice cures all. And not all...

  4. :pBODILY FLUIDS

    SC RN replied to JACALA_CL's topic in Emergency

    I agree that it's a perfect topic. I voted for blood since I work post-partum and am routinely subjected to lots of it those first three visits to the bathroom where I'm the one sitting between their...

  5. Impaired Tissue Integrity

    SC RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm losing my mind because I can not seem to figure this one part of my care plan out tonight. Just some history, we do FULL care plans (10-15 pages each week) all semester for every patient....

  6. Impaired Tissue Integrity

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN, Thanks for the reply ... yes, I have that part down as my Nursing Diagnosis but what I'm looking for is the goal combined with the AEB. Our care plans are long and complicated ... the mroe I...

  7. Advice and/or suggestions NEEDED

    SC RN replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a tech right now at a local hospital perdiem and it is wonderful! I keep a calendar (don't all students?) and put my school schedule down, then my husband's schedule, then my kids schedule...

  8. But I have little kids!

    SC RN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Grouchy - I love the idea of 4 hour shifts (or even 6) ... I brought the idea up to our manager and she said "NO". I understand that it's more work to schedule and more money to cover the overlapping...

  9. But I have little kids!

    SC RN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I want Christmas off. My ex-husband has rights to our child on Christmas Eve Day til midnight and I have him on Christmas Day. In exchange, I'm willing to work Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New...

  10. Med Calc Exam

    SC RN replied to fahamesha's topic in General Nursing

    We had to pass our first math exam (and all subsequent math exams) with an 80% ... but as our teacher often said ... and 80% could mean that you killed two patients out of ten. So ... we'd all laugh...

  11. What Freaks You Out?

    SC RN replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness, it just took me two days of on and off reading of this thread to get through the whole thing ... only a few things that made me gag so I must be doing okay. Worst I've seen, and I'm a Nurse...

  12. The dreaded panty line.......

    SC RN replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Now THIS is an awesome thread. I love thongs ... love them, love them, love them. Do I see my fellow students and co-workers (non-thong-wearers) picking their underwear out of their butts? Why,...

  13. Artificial Fingernails

    SC RN replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is not asking what OUR opinions are ... she's asking about hospital policy. No, our hospital does not have an official policy in writing. However, after participating in the threads here and...

  14. Nurse is a nurse is a nurse

    SC RN replied to Dayray's topic in General Nursing

    How accurate are the BP's? How accurate are yours? Come on, liberalrn, I think you don't really feel how this statement came out. Or at least, I hope you don't. Nurse Techs, at least where I work,...

  15. Let's talk about acrylic nails ...

    SC RN posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The "uniforms are killing us" thread had many discussions about the things other then scrubs that can make a nurse look unprofessional. Here's a place to talk about unprofessional nails ... First...

  16. Let's talk about acrylic nails ...

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And I have one more reason to get rid of them ... the cost! We went to a "before nursing school" meeting tonight at the college (families were invited to attend) and my husband finally realized that...

  17. Let's talk about acrylic nails ...

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Okay. I've read the LONG thread that was before this one and I've thought about it and you know what? They're not worth it. I don't want to deal with the hassles and possible problems. My vanity...

  18. Let's talk about acrylic nails ...

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for the posts (and the link to the old discussion!) so far .... I'm having a hard time with this because when we talk about bacteria under the fingernail, well, it can be there on someone with...
