1. Nurse suspended for prayer offer

   MrsWampthang replied to MaryAnn_RN's topic in Headlines

   I totally agree. I don't see why we, as nurses, can't offer to pray with patients. My husband, who works in the ER, has prayed for patients on a couple of occasions. He asks them if they would like him to pray and in both cases they said yes. He then...

3. "Octomom" and continuing updates

   MrsWampthang replied to rph3664's topic in Headlines

   I don't know about Jon and Kate, but I believe that the Duggers are completely self sufficient. I think they own several business and owe no one for anything they have. I admire that family. This women I have no respect for. As someone said, who will...

4. Well, I was spared being laid off but I'm still down

   MrsWampthang replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Good for you. It must have been sad for you to see all the people whose accounts you had to deactivate. Where I work, 600 people were laid off and another 900 open positions will go unfilled. Thankfully our department wasn't in the crosshairs so no o...

6. Working at Home as an RN?

   MrsWampthang replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

   RNs and LPNs can work from home for insurance companies in prior authorization, continued stay review and case management. I don't know how long you've been an LPN, but depending on that and what kind of experience you've had, you might be able to ge...

7. Am I wrong because i don't want to do CNA duites

   MrsWampthang replied to zoeyzoe's topic in General Nursing

   That's the one thing I don't miss about bedside NURSING, the grunt work. I did it with care and compassion, but it wasn't my most favorite thing to do, so I can empathize with some of what you said. And you only have5-6 patients? Try doing it with 7 ...

8. Inactive nurse with one yr med/surge wanting to do ER now???

   MrsWampthang replied to RN28MD's topic in Emergency

   I would suggest shadowing a couple of times. Real life ER isn't anything the TV shows. And the Trauma life in ER doesn't do justice to what goes on for a full 12 hours. I doubt that you would get 6 months orientation. I think that 6 months is a littl...

9. Do Real Nurses Work From Home? You Betcha!!

   MrsWampthang replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

   You might want to look on Monster.com or Careerbuilders.com. With 38 years experience in nursing and with case management on your resume, I would think you would be an asset to any company. Just a thought. Pam

    MrsWampthang replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    ok, i'll show my stupidity. i also think, why are these bad orders? they may be silly orders, but not bad orders. as i said in my previous post, i have seen them. elevating scrotum because it was extremely swollen. cut finger and toe nails because th...

15. Worst doctors orders ever received

    MrsWampthang replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    Actually I've seen orders like that in the long term care where I worked before. The scrotum was elevated because it was swollen. As for cutting the nails, I think the attending doc wanted to make sure it got done. Course, he was anal retentive and d...
