    CPR after rigor mortis

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    How to deal with being childless in L&D

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good idea about not telling the truth (people are so judgemental, and would criticize him if you told them). How old are you guys? How long have you been married? You know we women mature faster...

    CPR after rigor mortis

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sounds like a nice place to work, where you get to die with dignity. Does this mean all of your patients are DNRs? That must take impeccable (sp) timing, musn't it? I'm guessing you mean when they...

    Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Which is kind of my point. In that case, I would hope (or pray to God if I was her pt.) that she had a little more than a yr of m/s.... maybe some women's health experience? Ob, mother/baby,...

    Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on how you define 'basic nursing'. Is bathing a patient (and other CNA duties) basic nursing?. I'm not saying that is not important to learn/know, but I would say we get enough of that in...

    Unit Managers Working as Staff

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    help advice needed about blood issue

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nessa1982's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on the fence with this one. While on the surface it should be a no brainer (let someone else do it for you), that may turn into an issue down the road. (I hope you don't work on a post-op or...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to newgirlintown's topic in New York Nursing

    I know what you are saying, but the comment insinuated that if white people didn't live there, it was a bad area. What I'm trying to say is that it shouldn't matter who lives ther. And even if it's...

    Charting by Exception

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lazyrocking's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where you're going with this, but it sounds to me like you would rather stay witht the old fashioned narrative note. Everyone has different styles of charting, which can be a problem....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to newgirlintown's topic in New York Nursing

    Are we Autonomous Nurses or Employees?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be breaking the law if you took more than 6 (and they'd be breaking the law if they tried). I'm so jealous!! The rest of us risk termination (or insubordination) if we don't accept that extra...
