From a nurse I was working with recently, "Guess what I just found out...Dr. So and So just told me that Tylenol can kill you. I thought that Tylenol was just like Aspirin, I didn't know it could...
We have a one that we call the Warden. At first she really got on my nerves. Then one day we had someone from a different floor fill in that didn't seem to know how to do anything right, and the...
A dear friend of mine is an RN there and she is probably the most gentle person I've ever known, would not consider her "rough". Just because it's a rural part of the world, it can still be a...
Yes, but a "good nurse" does not always have time to do these things. In a perfect world yes, but I know I don't always have time to look over every MAR before giving
I just can't help but reply. I am an LPN in RN school, so I am in clinical rotation as an RN student but also have LPN students assigned to me when I am on the job. I think we need to remember that...

I just wanted to say that I'm thinking of a switch from Med surg to Psych, and it's nice to see a positive outlook for a change. I've always been interested in this area and thought it might be for...
I'm thinking that the vial label itself actually supplies the information on diluting the med, am I wrong? I know it won't supply info on push time though. I am so thankful for our MAK system, which...

Hi, I'm new to this site and I wanted to reply to Leslie's comment saying that someday maybe adn nurses might supervise bsn nurses. I work on a med surg floor and our supervisor is an associate...
I don' usually post, but after all the negative comments I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I just keep thinking about all the students reading these post and cringing! Yes, it's stressful, scary, all...
Hi, I am an LPN from Tn, currently in school to obtain my RN license. Ya'll know how stressed I am then........Just wanted to say hi. I joined because I thought it might be a good place to vent, and...
I work on a med-surg floor where it's hard to keep nursing aides. Of course we have some really good aides, and some that just do the minimum (and that's being generous). I do feel a big part of the...

Ok, I'm a medsurg nurse and it's my thing. I love it but I've seen many leave the floor with tears streaming down their faces so I know it's not for everyone. There are many other opportunities...
I can't respond on the part of being a male nurse, but I am in school right now in a class with about 40 women,2 men. Needless to say, they have it pretty good because we all take care of them as we...
