    Dude. Just ...

  2. New Grads Today v. New Grads From Years Ago

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to sj73201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why, it's because we didn't have all that technological know-how and all them fancy gizmos and whiz-bangs, don't ya know? We actually were forced to do drug calculations on *gasp* paper - with a...

  3. "Shotty Neck"

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to PrairieRose's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I've always preferred - Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man afire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life

  4. "Shotty Neck"

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to PrairieRose's topic in General Nursing

    Try this: Google scholar link. Google scholar provides links to peer reviewed and research articles on the subject in question. While you will not get a definition per se, you will get the context,...

  5. Arranging obstetric ultrasound? Advice please!

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to nz rn in oz's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check with your OB as to what ideas and/or referrals he or she might make for you. We cannot provide medical advice or referrals on this

  6. Difference bw Doctors and Nurses

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to Bormio's topic in Nursing Humor

    Doctors treat illness. Nurses treat

  7. New grads can't get jobs afraid of becoming an old new grad.

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to sunspotmia's topic in General Nursing

    Kendall, Westside, Baptist, Coral Gables are all posting openings for RNs. 104 new postings for RN jobs in the last 30 days on one site. Do what you want, but I tend to believe that an obstacle is...

  8. What are "caring" qualities of a nursing leader/manager?

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to sktrgrl01's topic in General Nursing

    It's homework. Do your own. Maybe if you made a little bit more of an effort - as in "These are some of the examples I came up with, what do you all think?" - we might be more inclined to help. But...

  9. Need help with this vague patient safety question.

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to obfuscate's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The correct nursing school answer / NCLEX answer to your nursing school homework is: Hand hygeine as one of the previous posters has indicated. At least you attempted to answer this question before...

  10. Prioritizing patients

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    I think this looks like homework, and the value of your school experience is greatly enhanced if you think through problems on your own. While using the experience and insight of others in the field...

  11. Bully nurse question

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    Since I am not a textbook, I cannot give you a "textbook response." I also have no idea what you are looking for, since different situations require different responses - I have utilized a variety of...

  12. Question regarding lack of bed bath in ICU

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. Jumped in before I

  13. First job

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    I sat in a classroom full of dewy eyed new grads, found the only other Paramedic/RN new hire in the back of the room, and sat through days worth of lectures and tons of powerpoints and textbook...

  14. What would you do?

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, if I were in a position where I could comfortably walk away from that job, I would do the following: Go to the HR person, or whoever was responsible for the revised contract, and state...

  15. Stop being so miserable

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah, my wife says the same thing. Funny,

  16. Stop being so miserable

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That's why I said decide instead of realize. I've worked in a lot of different environments, and after many years, I've learned that if I don't take things as personal, even if they are meant that...

  17. My CRNA (hopeful) Checklisit. Anything Missing?

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    IDNO, and this is just my own personal hobby horse, so don't get too worked up, but ... The idea that people are just going to work in ICU while they complete their BSN and get their "requisite"...

  18. Stop being so miserable

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Maybe we all need to step back, take a deep breath, recognize that other people are coming from different perspectives - and decide it isn't personal. Of course, I could be wrong. Just my

  19. Mirena Perforation

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to nkochrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um. Uterine perforation is a medical emergency. We do not provide medical advice here. The patient's physician should be consulted for all complications and potential complications of treatment; if...

  20. Question regarding lack of bed bath in ICU

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    And not for nothing, but yes, it is. Bathing reduces the incidence of BSI, improves skin circulation and therefore reduces pressure ulcer prevalence, provides the opportunity for a complete skin...

  21. My program sucks!!!!

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to European's topic in Men in Nursing

    Brother, you are going to work with all kinds of people when you graduate - might as well learn to deal with them now. I told myself all through nursing school that I wasn't there to win a popularity...

  22. Do you have any articles or journals related to Herniorraphy and Orchitis???

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to ms.pebbles's topic in General Nursing

    Try Google Scholar. Also, despite your assertion in another post that you are not a nursing student (when you seem to indicate in other posts that you are), attempting to get others to do your...

  23. Interview Attire Recommendations

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to synergy89's topic in Men in Nursing

    Apparently not anymore, although I always have worn dress slacks, a cuffed shirt and tie, and sport coat, if not a full suit to an interview. Probably always will, too - but according to some of my...

  24. What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if the administration was looking for a reason, the OP's exemplar gave them that reason. However, if a newbie nurse is consistently falsifying safety checks, and the required items are...

  25. What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    PedsDrNurseTheo replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    It is entirely possible that she was a new nurse, given less than sufficient orientation, overwhelmed with a large amount of paperwork and patient tasks, and effectively thrown to the wolves. While I...
