  1. Hepa b positive

    bluefabian replied to meyou's topic in International Nursing

    Well, in my company... you can no longer work in the clinical field when you are positive. I don't think they will fire you but you will be advised to do jobs with less patient contact. And I am sure...

  2. Do you start your own IVs?

    bluefabian replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Start our own IV. And to be honest, I didn't have much training or chance as a student. When I worked in ER, that's basically what I did. Do have the fear of blowing a vein and reattempts - you know...

  3. Hepa b positive

    bluefabian replied to meyou's topic in International Nursing

    Really? Because this is the one thing that I wonder much as well. Do hospitals accept nurses that are Hep B positive, because I knew certain requirements that bar that. At times I do have the fear of...

  4. Highschool Student Discouraged

    bluefabian replied to ilnn's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. Get your BSN done for and work for a while. It will be a long.. way towards that CRNA. 4 years BSN, a few years clinical work (preferably Critical Care) and a bit of luck and determination....

  5. I have been a nurse for 10 years, now what?

    bluefabian replied to Morning-glory's topic in General Nursing

  6. Dress Codes for the ER

    bluefabian replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    I think I am with you topic creator. Our management just changed our uniform to whites for shirts and blue for pants recently. If not because of the fact that I have resigned, I would have brought the...

  7. I have been a nurse for 10 years, now what?

    bluefabian replied to Morning-glory's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I can stay as long as you are, or heck, longer!!! Been five years now and funny, I felt like I had just graduated. And like you too, I am contemplating a field change. Best of

  8. BSN to D.O. or M.D.

    bluefabian replied to buffscotty's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure you are not having that 'male complex' with you? You are 23, out of college I pressume, and male - in a female majority profession. And you want to be a CRNA - one field of which there...

    bluefabian posted a topic in MICU, SICU

  11. Hoping to be a Dialysis nurse

    bluefabian replied to malek's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Dialysis centres should be abundant in your state. The number of end stage renal failure patients requiring thrice weekly sessions is more than what a hospital can handle. These places helps to...

  12. Anyone here feeling bored with their Job?

    bluefabian replied to bluefabian's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This is hard to tell because pays differs according to hospitals and overseas/local. I am moving out into an overseas setting, so the pay is definitely huge compared to what I am making now. Dialysis...

  13. When will they change the name???

    bluefabian replied to hand2cut's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have no problem dealing with reality that I am a nurse. Signed off my charts, papers or letter with either an 'RN', 'Nurse' or 'Registered Nurse' with pride. Yet from my experience, the most...

  14. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    bluefabian replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please!!! How long are we gonna say it's the patient factor and take all the hit? I have 80+ patients who are still rational and have the courteous attitude ever against the 30+ diva. I think the...

  15. Has nursing changed you as a person?

    bluefabian replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, nursing changed me completely. Toughen me up a lot, and taught me how to value life: people's and my own. And told me the harsh reality that life is too fragile and short. I deal with chronic...

  16. are care plans a joke for you?

    bluefabian replied to MoopleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do we even have time for care plans now? Four years plus nursing experience, not a single care plans done!!! But if you ask me about nursing notes, ultrasound orders, radiology, labs, consent,...

    bluefabian replied to nu2dialysis's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Even if we enforce this rules who actually follows? In my place, patients eat all the time and we make no fuss. That four hours and such. But then again, there are those who respond worse to the...

    bluefabian replied to bluefabian's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Well, I have to disagree about the comment that people who find it boring only wants to know little beyond operating the machine. Really? Because I remember myself comprehending all those lab values...

  19. Inwhich department and why ?

    bluefabian replied to hrmgtm's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, this is something that baffles me. I have been thinking that nursing should be a job that sees no gender issues but it does!!! My first job was in ER - where I was posted there. Since I wanted a...

    bluefabian replied to RNwondering's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    bluefabian replied to kellyskitties's topic in Medical-Surgical
