    Ethical Question About Pacemaker

    netglow replied to Nursingbride12's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yes exactly, I view vents/pacers etc. as only serving to make the patient a lab rat when wishes to just be done with it all have been expressed. To me it's gross to keep tweaking the body into doing...

    netglow replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    "We" must be careful not to transfer what may be an individual's own problem onto another person here. It's just not fair to ramp up their problem to be like yours. Now that's a sure way to cause...

    Sigh...the dreaded day...advice needed

    netglow replied to PinkPinkster's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey, meant no offense Pink, because the more you read here you'll see that it is often those with the most anxiety that DO step up once they are "onstage" so to speak. As far as the RN thing, it's...

    New nurse-never heard of this

    netglow replied to TnRN43's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It is just the cheapest way to hire a nurse: new grad, no benefits, no guaranteed work. Yes, if nothing else and you are OK with the idea, then off you go. But, keep one eye out, I've heard that some...

    Am I asking too much from a nurse?

    netglow replied to monkey2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, think of the test, and what all you'd have to say to a patient or family member to thoroughly explain? You'd have to teach them anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology.... so basically you'd better...

    Am I asking too much from a nurse?

    netglow replied to monkey2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the nurse answered your question, but maybe not clearly. The test was not done because of any specific worry. It's a check among many, many checks. Now, since you are a student you can go look...

    Oh I don't mind the long ones. Lots of them are from some very stressed and miserably anxious people. You do need to let people get things down through their tears... as others have said, one can...
