    "Nurses Don't Make Decisions"

    VICEDRN replied to couchpants's topic in General Nursing

    Hi- Maybe its just my grumpy nursing school, how much longer until December (when I graduate) attitude but my advice to you is that freakin' ignore this twit. Seriously. The following are a few...

    would like opinions on this letter please

    VICEDRN replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    1. I think if you begin to concern yourself with what the consequences are for her then it is codependent behavior. You are responsible for you and for your behavior. She is responsible for her and...

    Navy Officer Nurse Corp

    VICEDRN replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    If I did join, my daughter would be five and my son would 10. I have a not so great support system but my ex would take them for ODS. What do you mean about the detailer? What should I negotiate? I...

    Beat up by Press Ganey !

    VICEDRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I gotcha. First, I will say that our skills are goods. The hospital places a price on them and charges the insurance company and/or the patient for these goods. Lots of folks sell skills as goods....

    VICEDRN replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    Hi- I was hoping someone on this thread can answer a kind of vague question I have about kids in the Navy. I have already spoken with the nursing recruiter but I kind of wanted an honest opinion. I...

    Beat up by Press Ganey !

    VICEDRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. I am feeling grumpy tonight. Why isn't a hospital like a restaurant? The problem is this: health care costs have gone up and up. The result is that a patient being admitted to the hospital...

    Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    VICEDRN replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Great minds think alike. I was just going to use the German example! I am sooo tired of hearing how the nursing shortage is proof that we should let anyone and everyone nurse in the US. I am almost...

    My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    VICEDRN replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would suggest art supplies as well... Listen...you know that expression? "Its better to ask for forgiveness than permission." It works here. You might be using up your one "freebie" but what the...

    latex allergy and nursing school

    VICEDRN replied to RDH1's topic in General Nursing

    I think your doctor is being weird! Our lab has both latex and latex free. Our instructors are concerned that they identify latex allergies early and accommodate the students that are sensitive! In...

    Is it more of an accomplishment to be a younger nurse?

    VICEDRN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate at 31. I already have a bachelors in one area and a previous career. Its not that I feel less accomplished but rather that I feel out of place for my peer group. Kids go to college....

    Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    VICEDRN replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask you why the Jewish people do not believe that brain death equals death? I believe that there was a little boy in New York who died in Virginia or Maryland recently who was Jewish and his...

    VICEDRN replied to tavalon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My advice is that you begin by going to the superior court website and reviewing the pleadings (legal documents) that are associated with any action that has been filed. You can google the name of the...

    Will never forget last night!

    VICEDRN replied to PCmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's funny. (now backing away slowly before the story fuels the intervention debate.) Hope you are not scarred for life now that a baby "fell out" on you!

    hospitalists clashing and nurses stuck in the middle

    VICEDRN replied to gagirl1124's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Student here... All of the hospitals I know of in this area don't let patients leave the floor with the PCA pump that includes to go to scanners or the OR. Anywhere. In those areas, the patients...

    Recession Getting Worse

    VICEDRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    My stepfather has done some financial counseling before (as a career) and he told me that based on the fees and such, its better not to refi your mortgage unless you plan to stay 3-5 years. If I were...

    Recession Getting Worse

    VICEDRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. You can say that. I will go with you on it. Also, if you have the credit now is definitely the time to refi. I saw an article on abcnews.com about it and I think its just common sense at this...

    Kennesaw State Spring 2009

    VICEDRN replied to p421clcp's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well...they don't exactly heap praise on you do they? I remember thinking that they played it real cool when I was finished. I felt confident that I gave well put together answers but I had no idea...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    VICEDRN replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I honestly don't know if the average patient could care less. I have met far more women who do care than don't. I am talking more on the mommy side of my life than the nursing side of my life. In...

    Calling all compassionate nurses... teach me

    VICEDRN replied to don_ia18's topic in General Nursing
