    Please Help! - Nursing Theory

    ghillbert replied to Richo's topic in International Nursing

    Anyone doing a nursing degree should have nursing theories coming out their ears (well, I certainly did!). This type of assignment requires you to read some, decide which one/s are applicable to the...

    are there CRNAs in OZ??

    ghillbert replied to NezPez88's topic in International Nursing

    No, we are backwards in term of advanced practice nursing (largely thanks to the AMA...) - just look at how ridiculous the NP process is, not to mention how little they are allowed to do! Nurse...

    Low BP pt Need Tips for when I am by myself!!

    ghillbert replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    What is your rationale as to why palpation "never justified" and "never [to] be trusted at the correct reading"????? It's a little much to make such statements without rationale. Getting a palpable...

    Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    ghillbert replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    Not sure, they are called Libra Goodnights and come in flex, ultralong, extra thin, extra thick, etc. I have tried US pads but just haven't found any as good as these. Libras also come in regular,...

    NCLEX california - what to do to keep your file active if you dont have SSN yet.

    ghillbert replied to therese08's topic in Immigration Advice

    Just a noted, you are not "endorsing" anything to Vermont. To endorse, you need a license. You don't have one, you just have an exam result. What you need to do is apply for licensure by examination...

    Test Question

    ghillbert replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    Not only is the "assess" answer correct, the other is INCORRECT. You can't tell someone to increase their food intake if you don't know what they are eating. Maybe they eat a lot but don't absorb it....

    Is the hiring freeze/retrogression of foreign RNs over?

    ghillbert replied to rn4ever?'s topic in International Nursing

    Please read what I said. The issue is not the person's education. Even with a bachelor degree, she is not qualified for a H1B visa unless the position requires a bachelor

    New US graduated Nurse with F-1 student status is seeking sponsership

    ghillbert replied to Newusgradforeignnurs's topic in International Nursing

    Not a good idea for many reasons. If you're not paid, you're not covered by the employer liability etc... bad precedent to set - why would hospitals pay proper salaries if they get people to work for...

    Is this abandonment?

    ghillbert replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't tell me what my motivations are. If I wanted to generalize, I would have said "Man, new grads these days!!". I purposely didn't. But there is NO denying that there is an attitude of...

    Is there a doctor/nurse on board? Would you/have you answered?

    ghillbert replied to steelydanfan's topic in General Nursing

    I'd answer if necessary, but I would only do something if it was within the bounds of my experience.. eg. kids, I know nothing about so I wouldn't be offering advice

    States that don't require CES reports

    ghillbert replied to blessedqd's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't understand your questions then. Texas needs CES. You asked which states don't. Then you said she has to work in Texas. If Texas require CES, then they are most likely going to require it...

    ghillbert replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh dear, I was with you until I read this... why does any attractive nurse who has trouble with coworkers assume it's because of their fantastic looks? Sometimes I don't get along with people at work,...

    Left-sided heart failure

    ghillbert replied to Thestudent89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know that making fun of someone's English is necessary. Possibly someone could be misdiagnosed with pneumonia when they have CHF-related fluid in the lungs.. but pneumonia is usually diagnosed...

    Working to the clock

    ghillbert replied to wiley6coyote's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There's no way I could in all good conscience walk out the door if the proverbial was hitting the fan and a coworker needed help. No way. Then again, I'm salaried and we get screwed - the hourly...

    Is this abandonment?

    ghillbert replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    Man, this just shows the entitled attitude of some new grads these days.. all over people are posting that they can't get jobs, and this one quits over the phone because it's "too far". Wouldn't you...
