  1. Cultural and Ethinic Considerations in Nursing

    feralnostalgia replied to txwildflower57's topic in General Nursing

    funny, a lot of sociologists from the symbolic interactionist school have been known for things like living on the streets for extended periods of time to be with the homeless in a direct way. I...

  2. Cultural and Ethinic Considerations in Nursing

    feralnostalgia replied to txwildflower57's topic in General Nursing

    exactly as much as your rude comments about sociology as a discipline did. ...except that nearly all of the founding fathers were deists and that the majority of american protestant denominations were...

  3. Dealing with Violent Children

    feralnostalgia replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I only took a few psychology classes and only one specifically on abnormal psychology, but I don't think the kids sound at all schizophrenic from your description...I'd just avoid them as much as...

  4. what do you do about phone calls if you could come to work extra on your day off

    feralnostalgia replied to olli975's topic in General Nursing

    haha, if my employer calls unexpectedly they go straight to voicemail. I check it when they're done, and if I want to acknowledge the call or for some reason really want to work extra, I will, but...

  5. Cultural and Ethinic Considerations in Nursing

    feralnostalgia replied to txwildflower57's topic in General Nursing

    it was my sociology classes that convinced me to become an RN. As a vegan, I sure hope I never have a nurse with your attitude towards us. my family has been in america for longer than "america" has...

  6. curious about psych nursing

    feralnostalgia posted a topic in Psychiatric

    hey there - I've always been kind of interested in psychology, I started out as a patient for depression, (runs in my family, I saw my first suicide attempt when I was 9...nothing phases me anymore)...

  7. Questions Regarding Grades in Nursing School??

    feralnostalgia replied to thegirlyoulove90's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a C for my program. I think the only grade that counts is your final grade at the end of the course...the way a lot of professors set things up, you might not know your grades until the...

  8. I accidentally swallowed some dish washing soap

    feralnostalgia replied to omgodzilla's topic in General Nursing

    The olden days? I had that happen to me a few times back in the olden days of the

  9. Nursing and abortions

    feralnostalgia replied to breakinglightx's topic in General Nursing

    and on that note, the original Hippocratic oath in greek involved swearing "I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman...

  11. needlestick from hep c and HIV + patient

    feralnostalgia replied to Proverbs 16:3's topic in General Nursing

    my friend volunteered in Mozambique and was outside an AIDS hospice cleaning out their gutters when she got poked right through her hand with a needle! no glove or any AZT or anything. she just had...

  12. The law about patients obtaining their own chart

    feralnostalgia replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    if the doctor treated her the way she says he did then I don't think it's unreasonable at all to expect a bit of consideration from the staff. preeclampsia nearly killed my mother twice. for an...

  13. Did anyone's spouses/partners etc...... have a problem with you becoming a RN?

    feralnostalgia replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    your husband just sounds insecure. good for you for going to school and working! I'm single, and half my family doesn't care what I'm doing so long as I'm happy and not a hobo. my dad's mother, on...

  14. The law about patients obtaining their own chart

    feralnostalgia replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    *not a nurse yet* as a patient, I requested a copy of my doctors records for school and it took them 2 hours to fax over a full copy. what the hell is up with making you wait 96 hours? if he messed...

  15. Is this considered nepotism?

    feralnostalgia replied to BrittRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    it's only nepotism if Sue is the one doing the hiring. if they both just work for the same employer but neither one is in an authority position, I don't think it's even possible for nepotism to take...

  18. How are you with needles?

    feralnostalgia posted a topic in General Nursing

    so, I'm just curious, are there any nurses out there who can draw other people's blood or start IVs just fine but freak out when it happens to them? I just went to the doctor's office today and...

  19. Restraints

    feralnostalgia posted a topic in General Nursing

    pre-nursing student here with a potentially stupid question. I'm just wondering...I've seen people talking about "applying restraints", are we talking about literally strapping someone into bed?...

  20. does working as a nurse count as exercise?

    feralnostalgia replied to phosophorus's topic in Health, Stress Management

    do hospitals have gyms in them? seems like it would make sense for there to be exercise equipment staff could use for free. my last job (at a hotel, which sounds a lot like everything bad about a...

  21. Restraints

    feralnostalgia replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    thanks =) I'm not sure what kind of ventilator he was on - when we heard he was in the hospital we drove from arkansas to indiana (he has 2 kids and 10 or so grandkids who live in state, and two kids...

  22. Restraints

    feralnostalgia replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    heh, I see how that could be necessary and I wouldn't have a problem with that. my grandfather died recently of COPD, and the whole time he HATED being in the hospital. he still died fairly quickly,...

  23. A Nursing Shortage?

    feralnostalgia replied to stacimccomas's topic in General Nursing

    I just checked my local children's hospital website and they're advertising lots of positions. I stopped counting at 30 RN positions. I found 10 more clinical nursing jobs and a bunch of...

  24. GLBT Nurses

    feralnostalgia replied to janedoe20's topic in General Nursing

    yay! this is the area I want to work in when I'm out of school and experienced enough to specialize, and I'm gay myself, so that's good news. can't say that I'm particularly surprised, really, but...

  25. Discussing religion in the workplace

    feralnostalgia replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    erm, I never ever want to receive healthcare from someone who treats me like a car with a mechanical problem. it's totally fine if there are people out there for whom this is a desirable thing, but I...
