  1. Overtime

    Speculating replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    Amy, Darling you think way too much. You haven't graduated nor passed Boards yet, and you have yourself pulling 60 hours a week in the ICU. You may find it difficult to walk straight out of college,...

  2. Not me!

    Speculating replied to Town & Country's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Shezam do you realize the amount of trouble you can get into if a situation does occur on your watch? First of all you will get in trouble and most likely lose your license and a lot more because you...

  3. Dr's children at pts bedside

    Speculating replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    This appears to be another lazy Dr. finding a problem and dumping it on the laps of a committee then walking away telling everyone that he/she has taken care of the problem. Pass it back to them. Tell...

  4. Should nurses be allowed to strike?

    Speculating replied to LydiaGreen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Originally I said no thinking there needs to be another answer besides yes or no. Of course it's not fair that we're not allowed to strike like millions and millions of other employees are permitted...

  5. Hello

    Speculating replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Tonya, Along with everyone else I wish to welcome you to the forum. I'd just like to give you a little heads up if you hadn't all ready thought of it. When you're picking your prerequisites for...

  6. Withholding Treatment Of Elderly Patients

    Speculating replied to allegator's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen that often enough. It's what we call a slow code which mean't we often were told to walk instead of run when the code got

  7. cheap books

    Speculating replied to parklandtrauma's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You'll never find anything more expensive than the school bookstore. One of the only advantage to buying at the college bookstore is knowing your getting the exact book you need. When you start buying...

  8. Using Animal Therepy In Nursing

    Speculating replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    Louisepug, I feel a great deal of warmth in your editorial when it came to the animals are you sure your not headed down the wrong avenue of higher

  9. A tiny nurse

    Speculating replied to Teresa76's topic in General Nursing

    That's just a shame, Stress. I saw something the other night on the news that stated taller folks with exactly the same job qualifications even make more money on average then there vertically...

  10. A tiny nurse

    Speculating replied to Teresa76's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone seems to be giving you good sound advice so far. Using good body mechanics and always thinking the situation through first, and being smart about the lift should never fail you. If they weigh...

  11. Tired Of Abuse!

    Speculating replied to Y2KRN's topic in Emergency

    I find it my policy to get a serum stupid level on these types of people whenever possible. I had the chance to get a high-five several days ago during a bad situation. Mom comes in four-thirty or...

  12. What would you do to keep your job? LONG

    Speculating replied to angelbear's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you want to worry about having to look for a job at the end of your leave. Secondly, If you signed the Family Medical Leave Act http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_825/toc.htm...

  13. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    Speculating replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about you guys, but they owe me respect therefore they will give it to me. I started with the yes sir no sir stuff after school. It doesn't work. If you empower them, they will try to...

  14. Vet Tech Vs. Cna Training

    Speculating replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, your right I think it's a little weird. If you want to work on people then work on people. Don't get ahead of yourself with IV's and drug calculations. The last thing you want to be thinking of...

  15. Could use some input

    Speculating replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    There seems to be several issues here. Who gives the initial medical screening? I think someone needs to dig a little deeper into the no meds for 12-24hrs policy too. Memphispanda stated earlier,...

  16. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    Speculating replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. O, I didn't have any required chemistry within my curriculum, and I have to agree with 3rdShiftGuy that "Chemistry is the foundation for anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology and is important...

  17. Nlnac = Ccne?

    Speculating replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Nursing

    TalldollNYC, I certainly have to agree with TeenybabeRN for the most part anyway. The only place this may become an issue would be with continuing your education. But, once you get your license...

  18. book recommendations

    Speculating replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses they have PDA software too. You might even be able to download from the sight.

  19. Breech scare

    Speculating replied to AmberL&D/RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dermatology LOL. How do you not deliver at night anyway transfer everyone at dusk. If they come to the hosp. @ nite you can't turn them away. You would think if a hosp. has OB they would have to be...

  20. I think I need a change....

    Speculating replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    You might try Home Health I understand it's quite different. I'm thinking in that direction myself. You pretty much work for yourself, set your own schedule. Your outside a lot driving home to home....

  21. Nursing Schools in Tampa/Clearwater Area

    Speculating replied to greggfamly's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe (SPC) St. Petersburg College has some evening classes. I know for a fact they do with the nursing transitional program. It's a great school -- national ranked very high --...

  22. activities of daily living problem

    Speculating replied to ManyQuestions's topic in General Nursing

    I think your setting yourself up for a problem. I'm not an ass wiping, tray passing, bed making nurse myself so I parked my rear in the ER. You do have a lot of options say ER, OR, GI lab, Cath...

  23. vegetative state

    Speculating replied to kat57's topic in General Nursing

    I live very close to this situation. Regrettable, I have endured the facts of this case over and over again through the preceding 13 years. The problem is you can't just pull the plug after thirteen...
