  1. best start in nursing

    MollyJ replied to V SPN's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to providing a broad base of experience and exposing you to many phenomena, conventional wisdom has had it that you are less likely to be thrown into frequent and devastating "life or...

  2. Nurse

    MollyJ replied to Questions17's topic in General Nursing

    Most high school counselors are pretty familiar with what it takes to go to nursing school. Take a college bound curriculum. At the high school I work at in drug prevention, students can take A...

  3. Feeling like a dummy, re:chest tubes

    MollyJ replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    Been a while since I touched an "argyle" but it seems to me that I remember that if it got accidentally knocked over or tipped (even during ambulation) *all* of the fluids _could have (?)_ drained...

  5. blood pressure

    MollyJ replied to brettswife's topic in General Nursing

    You can also palpate the blood pressure before or after you auscultate that. Both procedures will give the systolic/top number. Some nurses routinely palpate the bp and then auscultate to enhance...

  6. How do I return to work?

    MollyJ replied to stprdi's topic in General Nursing

    My condolences on the loss of your mom. Moms are irreplacable no matter how old we are. I am struck by the polarity of previous posters. I'm probably going to offer a third pole. Basically,...

  8. Getting a Degree on line ?

    MollyJ replied to mhrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think your hubby gets a gold star for asking you to think of this issue. Certainly, you want to look for NLN accreditation but personally, professional to professional, I think sometimes the NLN...

  9. Swans?

    MollyJ replied to Born 2 B In OB's topic in General Nursing

    Uhmmm... can only conjecture. May refer to walking on water what with the state of nursing these days

  10. Who is responsible for error?

    MollyJ replied to crnasomeday's topic in General Nursing

    I have had the pleasure of doing chart review for a defense malpractice attorney in the past. My advice is please do not second guess this case. Who knows what happened. You're not likely to find...

  11. I just need to know the DX....

    MollyJ replied to daz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Daz, Have enough faith in yourself to believe that you can do better than to just have people feed you the answers. No one ever built a knowledge base by just getting someone to feed them the...

  12. Any Suggestions???

    MollyJ replied to gaam's topic in Nursing Career

    Haven't been through this one, but have seen plenty of other folks go through it. Here are some thoughts. Talk to you intended school and know what it takes to get into their program both financially...

  13. a nurse with panic disorder

    MollyJ replied to micknmel's topic in General Nursing

    previous poster says it all since (s)he's been there done that. My main thoughts are what you have heard from other posters. Have some tools in your tool box; some ways to deal with anxiety and...

  14. Brother with testicular mass: possibly cancer, please help

    MollyJ replied to Rileycat's topic in General Nursing

    I think MD Anderson is pretty impressive in their approach to testicular cancer having had an experience that brought me into contact with someone who went their in a very peripheral way. They think...

  15. Joy Shepard!!

    MollyJ replied to daz's topic in General Nursing

    Daz, find a nurse or use this board to ask a few more questions and then the nurse will respond. For example, on CT 1 if I inspected their chest wall, I would find? if I listened to their breath...

  16. Joy Shepard!!

    MollyJ replied to daz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm planning to not be much help either since i agree with the other posters, too. But, Daz, don't worry about making the medical dx; that's not your job. Now I know all of us are racing ahead to...

  17. Having your water turned off

    MollyJ replied to woodyRN's topic in General Nursing

    this actually seems to be part and parcel of the biohazard control plan--not having foods and fluids in the work area. Still and all--and you all really will laugh at me--this seems something that...

  18. Will I be at a disadvantage?

    MollyJ replied to AJJ's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Definite maybe. try this web site www.nursingprofession.com this is an NLN web site and they have a MSN locator on their web site. Furthermore, you can order a book from them that will show you...

  19. Is pediatric oncology a fun career?

    MollyJ replied to hottie_from_downunder's topic in Nursing Career

    HFD? Peds oncology? Fun? Your terminology is a relative turn off to the gravity of your question. I lay no claim to being a peds oncology nurse; have done peds case management. Here it is as...

  20. Dress Code

    MollyJ replied to prmenrs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in the hospital so what I say isn't worth much and will make me vulnerable to attack. NO one here is advocating a return to caps and whites and I am not here to disagree with that. It is...

  21. how do the docs feel?

    MollyJ replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi TRN What the other posters have written here about exchanging headaches is all true. My husband is a doc on a small FP residency faculty and they've had a number of former nurses, PA's, med tech's...

  22. Is there a Public Health Nurse in the house?

    MollyJ replied to goldilocksrn's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a county public health department for about 5 or 6 years. We were large enough to be departmentalized but small enough that many of us worked more than one program, so fingers in many...

  23. thinking about moving into this area--? for you

    MollyJ posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi, I am a nurse with 22 years of experience in a wide variety of places--from hospital to community health. I am currently doing drug prevention in a school setting. I have a MSN in community...

  24. Catching Hell

    MollyJ replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi Pam, Sorry you got vented on, but that is probably one of the big jobs that comes with case management. It is where we realize that the allocation of resources decisions that we make affect real...

  25. Hiv exposure in the workplace

    MollyJ replied to psychnurse01's topic in General Nursing

    I am sitting here stunned to think what you are coping with because this is such a deliberate and hostile act. I guess I would talk to a private lawyer, not a county attorney, and see what they have...
