  1. MRSA in Gulf of Mex?

    cannoli replied to flowerchild's topic in General Nursing

    Or is that Little

  2. Working with an out of state license

    cannoli replied to doularoz's topic in General Nursing

    You can't work in a state unless you are licensed in that state. The only exception that I know of is working for the Department of Defense, in a military hospital you can work with a license from...

  3. Nurses in Other Professions

    cannoli replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    skybirdrising, I think the ones getting out are making the intelligent decisions. If I could make the same kind of money at something else I would be getting out too, as it is I only work a very few...

  4. doctors also get in trouble when they speak out

    cannoli replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I just read the one about the surgeon in Charleston, S.C. Sounds like the lunatics are running the

  5. What is considered appropriate staffing for grads off of orientation.

    cannoli replied to kimmicoobug's topic in General Nursing

    It has nothing to do with the type of education or training one has had. What it has to do with is the intolerable, heavy, unsafe work load that exists in most hospitals in the United States, things...

  6. My doctor's office staff sent me out....

    cannoli replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    I hope he told her to find another doctor. Some people have all the

  7. IM injections

    cannoli replied to ragingmomster's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all have made some good points. As a student, you need to go with what your instructor wants or if there is an institution policy, which I doubt, go with that, but in reality it probably doesn't...

  8. emotional breakdown!

    cannoli replied to chestahcheetah's topic in General Nursing

    Cqc_Cqb I think you are being a little harsh, more than a little. It's easy to say you have to stand up for yourself, but the point is one shouldn't be put in a situation in the first place where...

  9. @#%*!! (long.....sorry)

    cannoli replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I recall being a student, and yes they have students all over the hospital, and when they needed to observe something they were called and came and

  10. Nursing Students: Shut up and color

    cannoli replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    Good points!

  11. @#%*!! (long.....sorry)

    cannoli replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, where was the student's instructor, though it probably would have fallen back on you anyway to call the doctor, and yes why didn't the doctor come in when you first called him and check on it...

  12. NPR story on RN's in California

    cannoli replied to txsugarlvn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as far as the money goes, look what they can do when they have

  13. Conflict w/ a patient or family member?

    cannoli replied to twarlik's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with you, but in the hospital everyone is our (the nurse's) customer. The nurse is nobody's

  14. Conflict w/ a patient or family member?

    cannoli replied to twarlik's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably something I'll get flamed for, but sometimes when these people get ticked off at us or me for whatever reason, and they can get you in a lot of trouble, I think they (the public) are...

  15. doctors also get in trouble when they speak out

    cannoli replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for posting the links. What is this crazy world coming to? Good always prevails over evil? I don't think

  16. This is sad and disturbing

    cannoli replied to ulianka's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is really sad. It wasn't too long ago that a nurse in Florida was killed by a

  17. doctors also get in trouble when they speak out

    cannoli replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    That's terrible. What's the answer? How do people get to testify in front of congress? Maybe this is something for them. Hospitals just have way too much power. How do you get to the article listed...

  18. Can you believe this???

    cannoli replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me, they try the same thing on seasoned nurses too. Wouldn't you just like to tell them where to go? I use caller ID and my answering machine, but we shouldn't have to be afraid to answer our...

  19. LPN scope of practice a little too broad?(LONG)

    cannoli replied to chad75's topic in General Nursing

    It's strange how things can vary so from state to state. I am currently in a state that does not allow LPN's to do central line draws or flushes or dressing changes. They cannot access a central...

  20. Conflict w/ a patient or family member?

    cannoli replied to twarlik's topic in General Nursing

    I've had people "quiz" me which can be insulting, if they are hostile about it, it makes me want to spend as little time as possible in the room. I think they get that from the media. Sometimes you...

  21. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    cannoli replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't "pot stirrers" have psychological problems?, or is it psychiatric

  23. Florence Nightingale Pledge

    cannoli replied to Teresa76's topic in General Nursing

    I, for one, had never heard it and never said it. It is not said universally as some nurses seem to believe as evidenced by some of the posts made regarding it. Good luck with

  24. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    cannoli replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    What's up with people going to the ER for a pregnancy test? It seems like ER's ought to be able to refuse to do that. Since when is a pregnancy test an emergency? They should be told to go to the...

  25. Faking having cancer, can you imagine?

    cannoli replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have problems with people lying about things like that, I would be afraid it would really happen. Karma, or
