  1. Post-Mortem Care

    Speculating replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We moved to the white travel bags that a person uses to keep their clothing in that need to stay on hangers. They are pretty nice made out of a heavy white plastic. You just slip the body in an zip it...

  2. Post-Mortem Care

    Speculating replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a sad thing those things don't help any more. Tying their mouths shut and hands together - please. I'm not disrespecting you BarbPick I understand that is your policy. That's the cheapest set...

  3. Malpractice Insurance

    Speculating replied to Idaho Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's big debate. It really depends on what you have to lose in my opinion. Some beleive it's not good to carry it because if you have a 2 million dollar policy the lawyers are coming after you for 2...

  4. Post-Mortem Care

    Speculating replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You just keep digging yourself in deeper and deeper don't yah! There's no reason for the deceased not to have something on. There's really no reason to debate this. It's about a $2.00 gown the...

  5. boyfriends biopsy

    Speculating replied to EMTI19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. That's one of the best teaching hospitals around. They've helped a lot of people, and have a great deal of smart people walking around those

  6. Why you as Nurses choose nursing homes?

    Speculating replied to Marti Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have'nt worked NH since I was a CNA. You meet some incredible people. I had the privlige of meeting a nun that helped Father Flannigan start Boy's Town. She was in and out of it, but told me she was...

  7. Hep c

    Speculating replied to Mandy333's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I knew an RN that was working and had Hep C. I don't know the laws, but I doubt very much they could stop

  8. Do nursing schools actually conciously REALIZE they are being ridiculous or is it a..

    Speculating replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Those old ladies can be brutal. During the last day of my first semester a few of us still had to do nothing more than do physicals on another student and we were done. That was all we had to do. We...

  9. HELLP syndrome and management

    Speculating replied to babies_r_us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds more like a lab screw up especially with a normal H&H. Your clotting factor should be off just a little if the platelets are getting that

  10. Heavy menstrual bleeding...

    Speculating replied to LisaRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let these ladies freak you out. It sounds to me like maybe you started a day or fo ago and the large clots just held things back. I wouldn't worry as long as your flow slows down to it's...

  11. RN Students

    Speculating replied to RN760's topic in General Nursing

    That's because we leave no bones. Nursing is very clicky. If your not in the click, they are waiting to

  12. RN Students

    Speculating replied to RN760's topic in General Nursing

    Other than double checking I'm up for anyone who can take a couple pts off my hands and make my day a little easier. One of the keys to making good nurses is the post school preceptorship. Mine was...

  13. Ultram cost me my new dream job

    Speculating replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't the narcs that did the vein damage. It was most certainly the IV ibuprofen. I'm sure there is a pretty good reason they don't make IV or IM ibuprofen. They are so lucky they are'nt dead for...

  14. 5 bucks per stitch

    Speculating replied to nursecrazy's topic in General Nursing

    Simple economics supply and demand. One hospital I used to work for had hundreds of Canadians flying in every year to have procedures done. I'm thinking the reverse isn't happening not to many...

  15. 5 bucks per stitch

    Speculating replied to nursecrazy's topic in General Nursing

    You just answered it yourself. There won't be any waiting lists, and there will be more aggressive care. Which should increase demand in nursing, and you'll be paid in the private sector not the...

  16. speaking of nclex which book is best

    Speculating replied to angelbear's topic in General Nursing

    40 y/o never stopped me so I doubt it will cause you any difficulties. The book I turned you on too will do wonders for you and your self esteem in regards to test taking. So set up a schedule for...

  17. Tele transports from the ER

    Speculating replied to Surfnurse's topic in Emergency

    It all sounds good with the monitors and ACLS...But then who takes them (tele) to radiology

  18. precepting in ER....

    Speculating replied to jjbaby's topic in Emergency

    Jjbaby, a lot of what you're going to need to learn depends on whether this is going to be the beginning of your career or some other area of nursing. I'd spend sometime getting my cardiac rhythms...

  19. You just Don't Know which way to pray....

    Speculating replied to gwenith's topic in General Nursing

    We do it, gwenith, because without us they wouldn't have a chance at all to go home. We do it, gwenith, for those really sick people for whom we can hope that at least one in ten will go home. We do...

  20. speaking of nclex which book is best

    Speculating replied to angelbear's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry angelbear but if you want my opinion on which NCLEX study guide is the best, then you're going to have to listen to my opinion about using it first. Don't make NCLEX your life. I wouldn't...

  21. big storm is coming

    Speculating replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    KC and Florida are like night and day. I kind of miss Iowa every now and then. Maybe we could just swap jobs and housing arrangements every six months or so. I imagine everywhere seems to have good...

  22. 22 yr old male, wants circumcision, i have questions

    Speculating replied to jusWannaKno's topic in General Nursing

    JusWannaKno, You're obviously an old enough young man to be able to make an informed decision about your situation. You need to be entirely sure why you're doing it. There are always risks...

  23. 22 yr old male, wants circumcision, i have questions

    Speculating replied to jusWannaKno's topic in General Nursing

    fab4fan, Please don't discourage the young man. He's simply asking for a little help and advice. He hasn't asked anyone to perform surgery. And, given the nature of the beast I'm sure he wants a...

  24. big storm is coming

    Speculating replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety, my friend you must be old as dirt. They actually have this new fangled piece of equipment now days. I've never actually seen one for myself - some say they call it a snow blower.

  25. big storm is coming

    Speculating replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cindy, dear you just reminded me why I left Iowa. The fun I had - running outside to start the car so it would be...
