  1. Have anyone else heard of "basic care NURSES"?

    LydiaGreen replied to Nursingangel's topic in General Nursing

    But - are they using the title of "Basic Care Nurse". That is the concern. In the advertisement in Georgia, the "school" is implying that at their school in Alberta, they have graduated "Basic Care...

  8. Any Nurses/Nursing Students With Latex Allergy?

    LydiaGreen replied to RDH2RN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Who should pay?

    LydiaGreen replied to NeuroICURN's topic in General Nursing

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ There's your answer - isn't that what makes the world go 'round? Another difficulty with our doctor shortage is that so few med students choose to be general...

    LydiaGreen replied to NeuroICURN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely and entirely agree with you Fergus. In Canada, children and adults can go for their annual check-ups and possibly catch something early instead of waiting until an...

    LydiaGreen replied to Animaniacs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not the best at these (experienced nurses have a magical way of zipping off all of the major considerations without even thinking) but, I'll give it a shot: Fatigue R/T impaired gas exchange...
