    here goes again I am sure-acrylics-this time it's personal

    BradleyRN replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    BabyLady is right. Unless you are stringently washing the BP cuff for every patient, wiping your stethescope for every patient, keeping a different notebook for every patient, not putting tape on...

    Tech saying they are a nurse

    BradleyRN replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Seriously? It took me a while to figure out just what you were talking about.

    Get yourself some fake nails! Cut them short, and grow your real ones. In a couple of months, you can switch to the real ones. I would think fake nails would be more difficult psychologically to...

    Tech saying they are a nurse

    Indeed, another crime perpetrated against the elderly. (and against us too, really)

    Calling yourself a nurse when you are not licensed as one is a deception and should be

    Family in Denial

    BradleyRN replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    it must be quite relative then, because i always sensed relief when family members realized that their parents werent "unusual" in their behaviors. i have taken care of dementia patients for 17...

    Family in Denial

    BradleyRN replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    Anytime i tell a family member of their loved one's misbehavior, i always try to alleviate their potential embarrassment by telling them that it common for dementia patients to act this way. It is...

    Nightshift- sooo tired on off days

    BradleyRN replied to EllaGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I never liked nights because even if you try to get up earlier on your days off, you still lose the first day because you just got off work and slept it away. When i worked nights, i lived at night....

    Do you think fluoridating our water is bad for us?

    BradleyRN replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not believe that is the reason at all, so might i suggest you link sources to your claims. Yes that is so funny.

    Do you think fluoridating our water is bad for us?

    BradleyRN replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your point that the increased consumption of bottled water caused a dramatic increase in cavities was thwarted by your point that the bottled water is really just right out of the tap....

    Do you think fluoridating our water is bad for us?

    BradleyRN replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    As the topic of this threads points out, we dont always need a prescription to obtain medications...just go to your faucet and turn it on.

    VENTING ABOUT MY FIRST JOB... my awful memory... and my awful orientation :(

    BradleyRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    i wouldnt go as far as to say that that criminal who trained you was a "good nurse", but you dont have to call her a criminal i guess. as far as im concerned however, if i see a nurse curse a...

    NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    BradleyRN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I am certainly on your side. I only defend the right to see this hurdle as too high to jump because of the lack of unity amongst nurses. One nurse standing up usually results in an example being...

    Is the FDA failing?

    BradleyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    With a booming pharmaceutical industry, the casualties from newly approved drugs have been in the news quite frequently. Drugs such as Rezulin, Celebrex, Vioxx, Fen Phen, Prempro, Bextra, and Avanida...

    IV Dilaudid problem patients!!!!!!!!!!!

    BradleyRN replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    I love this question!!! The most important post in this thread was by Dalzac. As you see, people in pain are on narcotics. And narcotics are addictive. As a nurse, it is not your place to decide if...

    VENTING ABOUT MY FIRST JOB... my awful memory... and my awful orientation :(

    BradleyRN replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    This is a pathetic excuse for a nurse! If she is willing to curse a pt under her breath in front of you, what might she do if you werent there? Giving 9PM meds at 6PM is also inexcusable, and...

    NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    BradleyRN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Your posts are becoming quite pretentious and condescending. Telling someone what they "will not do in the future" simply is not constructive. Nor is saying how you dont think we would do anything...

    NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    BradleyRN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I know nurses in California, and they have everything i have said and so much more. Great pt ratios; Nurses filling in for their breaks; Guaranteed raises for years to come. Now that i see you are a...

    Get used to it... nursing is only going to get worse!!

    BradleyRN replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Nice work DebRN06! Your NM has been a dolt for way too long. She is definitely not one of us, and certainly does not deserve the title of "nurse". Id ask her how it is possible to have her head up...

    Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    BradleyRN replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Under this flawed logic, i guess i should start calling Phenergan Phinnigran or anticoagulants "blood thinners". Perhaps we should make a whole list of public misconceptions and perpetuate those...

    looking for advice on anatomy/physiology class

    BradleyRN replied to norcalsurfer1977's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what the nursing school you plan to attend requires. If they require the combined A&P, then that is what you should take. The bottom line is that you must make an "A" in the class,...

    MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    BradleyRN replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    I have personally used placebos once for pain relief. In LTC, i had a patient who always requested roxicet beyond it's limit. When we began using a placebo to go over the maximum dosage, he told me...

    Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    BradleyRN replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you only knew your professor as Dr. Anderson, i would wonder what you would call him then? Mr? Or just Anderson? Perhaps you read his first name in a university catalog, and by chance knew his...
