  1. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    LydiaGreen replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, had no idea such behaviour was still possible in the work atmosphere of a hospital. I am still a student but I have never seen anything inappropriate such as this at the hospital where I have...

  2. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    LydiaGreen replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that God predelicts the moment of your death. First and foremost, God gave each and every one of us FREE WILL, it is what we do with this free will that effects our life and death,...

  3. disciplinary nightmare

    LydiaGreen replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    RosiePosie, I am truly sorry if you thought that I think you are a moron or was being mean in my responses. I just wanted to point out to you that certain defences could backfire on you. I am still...

  4. WARNING!! Discretionary subject matter!

    LydiaGreen replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I have never encountered the situation. The majority of my placement has been on a med/surg unit where the patients are usually discharged within a maximum of five days. One of my...

  5. mottling?

    LydiaGreen replied to OKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am also still a student but I have seen mottling in patients that were indicative of a condition. Mottling in my father (his legs were purple from the knees down for years but he never went to a...

  6. Need A Rn Advise Really Quick Serious Issue

    LydiaGreen replied to SISSY8's topic in General Nursing

    How large is "large"? And, if we are not worrying about embarrasment here... when I was like 18 and in the worst of my acne years, I had this thing that developed on my right buttock cheek just all...

  7. Clinical Abscences

    LydiaGreen replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    There is no excuse for being late. Being late shouldn't mean that you are sent home. I had one classmate who was late for clinical three days in a row. We aren't talking a few minutes (and you...

  8. Nursing Student Dies in auto accident

    LydiaGreen replied to BNS_Rob's topic in General Nursing

    My sister attends U of M (Education student). The undivided highways are a major issue both in Manitoba and in Northwestern Ontario. There is divided highway from a certain point just inside the...

  9. Disturbing Nursing Home Story

    LydiaGreen replied to Lalage's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with some of the posters... saying that all nursing homes are bad, is not correct. I have seen four and found only one of them to be deplorable. Perhaps the other three were not the...

  10. disciplinary nightmare

    LydiaGreen replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    Rosie Posie.. I feel bad for you, really. But, as was said before, we were PREACHED to about how we represented ourselves verbally and in writing. Big time, throughout the last two and a half...

  11. Teaching Fluids and Electrolytes...

    LydiaGreen replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Fluids & Electrolytes certainly do not get the attention that they deserve in nursing school. I will be graduating in May. Spent last summer doing two of the prep guides (Canadian) and found...

  12. tropical vacations

    LydiaGreen replied to robynrn2b's topic in General Nursing

    This thread would appear tonight. The weather network is predicting -38 (celsius) or -36.4 (fahrenheit) with the windchill. BRRRRRR. Even my big dog was crying to sleep inside tonight. Needless to...

  13. Wound Care Standards in Nursing Homes

    LydiaGreen replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    Betadine... soaked on packing in a stage 4 decubitus ulcer? I know you are serious and that this is not a funny issue at all, but my first thought was, "You're kidding, right?" Betadine may help...

  14. Influenza and Ibuprofen

    LydiaGreen replied to Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    So far, nothing I can find indicates a link between ibuprofen and Reyes Syndrome - including the links above. If anything, source after source is saying that while ibuprofen has the same side effects...

  15. Influenza and Ibuprofen

    LydiaGreen replied to Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to research this NOW... my final placement was in a small community clinic and every person who phoned about their kids having the flu were told by the nurse to give them Advil and lots of...

  16. Future RN with LD in math

    LydiaGreen replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    One of my classmates was in the "special class" in high school. They forced her to take basic level courses (in Ontario we used to have basic, general, and advanced courses in each grade). Needless...

  17. disciplinary nightmare

    LydiaGreen replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea about how a person is to identify themselves anywhere else. I am from Ontario, Canada. We must identify ourselves in the capacity we are in at that moment. In first year nursing...

  18. Clinical Abscences

    LydiaGreen replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Last semester, we were allowed two absences (we work 10.5 hours, 2 days/week for 16 weeks). However, each case is looked at individually. If a person has three absences and if two of them are due to...

  19. "Virtual" Colonoscopy

    LydiaGreen replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Colonoscopy is way too painful for me. I have a lot of twists/turns/adhesions. Last time, they had to force the tube in and it felt like I had been ripped in half. They had only gotten the tube in...

  20. RN accountability in long-term care facilities?

    LydiaGreen posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hello. I am a student who will be graduating in May and am from a smaller "city" (less than 9,000 population) with only one long term care facility. Yesterday, a representative came to speak with my...

  21. RN accountability in long-term care facilities?

    LydiaGreen replied to LydiaGreen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you for your responses. I agree that neither I, nor my classmates, are capable of assuming this type of responsibility straight out of school. It would be easy to fool ourselves in to...

  22. Should nurses be allowed to strike?

    LydiaGreen posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I originally had this posted in the general nursing discussion area however I wasn't getting a lot of response. Thought that perhaps moving it over here may help. Additionally, it may be important...

  23. The Right to Die?

    LydiaGreen replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    The study was called "The Remmelink Report" and was released in

  24. smoking students

    LydiaGreen replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think hospital management has a lot to do with this. I am in my final year of nursing school (three twelve hour shifts left to go in clinical this semester and then 16 weeks of preceptorship...

  25. The Right to Die?

    LydiaGreen replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    I also wrote a paper on euthanasia. It's really not that simple. I thought that it would be. I thought that Holland had done amazing things with their euthanasia policies and that the same thing...
