    chgoreid replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    RedCell: I am not fearful of your scrubs, but thanks for the concern. I think I said "some" might find it gross; I didn't say I

  4. Do crna's wear lab coats?

    chgoreid replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, I think running to pick up your son in a hurry is one thing. But wearing the full uniform, hat and all, to a school function after work is a little weird. Not to mention that some would think...

  5. Do crna's wear lab coats?

    chgoreid replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So, along the same lines, are they supposed to wear their scrubs and hats out in public? I'm not talking about around the hospital, I'm talking about out in public at the grocery store, school...

  6. Need input on how to get help for Manic family member

    chgoreid replied to waitingforthedream's topic in General Nursing

    You need to get several people if you can to take him to the ER. If you have more than one person they will be more likely to listen and believe. If he is truely in a manic state, he will not be...

  10. Addictions Receiving Facilities?? Anyone work in one?

    chgoreid replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in one for 14 years. Some years as a nurse and the rest as a health educator. It is definitely mostly psych nursing. Where I was, there was little medical management. Mostly, med passing...

  11. what can I say to a family member?

    chgoreid replied to rnto?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think it is good that you care. And for those that say "just because you cry, you're not a better nurse," I also think that just because you DON"T cry, it doesn't make YOU a better nurse. I would...

  12. How to face tomorrow

    chgoreid replied to jnrsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    This is a time when the grapevine could be used to your benefit. I remember when a coworker of mine lost one of her babies and she wanted it to get around before she came back so there would be less...

  15. Some Sonography Help

    chgoreid replied to JamesMC's topic in General Nursing

    I actually considered sonography recently and I would do it except that the closest school is 2 hours away. I say go for it if it is what you want to do. It is definitely different from nursing...

  16. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

    chgoreid replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Finally! Someone else that can't stand this either! It drives me crazy. I can't believe how many well educated people continually make this

  17. HPV, HSV, etc

    chgoreid replied to adoptionacres's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually it only protects against 4; 2 that cause cancer and 2 that cause the warts. Usually the ones that cause the warts don't cause cancer. From the gardasil website: "GARDASIL is the only cervical...

  18. unhappy and don't know what to do next

    chgoreid replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    With that extra $$ you will be making working per diem, could you purchase your own major medical plan? Maybe that is an option until you get married. That's something you could look into before...

  19. What are some psychological effects of being a nurse?

    chgoreid replied to smiles9960's topic in General Nursing

  22. Registered Dietitian?

    chgoreid replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not one but I've looked into in the past. I think you have to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree with quite an extensive internship; something like 9 months on top of the 4 year degree. I may...

  24. Has anyone seen the movie Miss Evers' Boys?

    chgoreid replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've seen it. It was a great movie just sad that we actually put people through that. I am too one that can't stand needles in the back. I passed out in nursing school watching one and didn't...
