    Ambulance law

    netglow replied to adamsmom2's topic in General Nursing

    Many fractures and hemhorragic bleeds will be ambulatory until they aren't ambulatory - I'd have just ignored him and given report and papers and been done with him. Remember EMT training is well...

    Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    netglow replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    I think at issue in this thread is the fact that many readers/posters have not been involved in education for years, and remember how things were decades ago. Well things have changed. Almost all...

    Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    netglow replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    That's just it. You shouldn't get a pass into nursing just because you took a military job. I think that is what is at the crux of this. It's up to the individual to step up and do what's needed to...

    Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    netglow replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    I think that whatever your agreed upon educational benefit was once you entered your area of the armed forces should remain. It's why most join up after all. But you still must be edu'd. You must go...

    Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    netglow replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    This is reality. A similar move has started in the MD world. Calls to open more med schools and residencies/fellowships. Already they cannot place all the grads in residencies and fellowships. The...

    Anybody LIKE working holidays?

    netglow replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem working holidays. Guess it's because small kids are no longer an issue. Once you get off the major holiday "merry" go round, you'll be so happy not to decorate and cook and have...

    Confused and scared...I need advice...

    netglow replied to lssrd7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Sounds like the hospice I worked at for just about a month before I was outta there. Yours sounds the same. Lots of HH and hospice are fraud. It gets dirty. I am an older second degree nurse - I saw...

    Rate of sexual harassment occurrences at a hospital?

    netglow replied to lis4b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been hugged by a few, but not lingering. Were they wanting a little netglow time? Sure, probably. LOL. I realize they cannot help themselves I am certainly not as young as the OP but still a...

    Rate of sexual harassment occurrences at a hospital?

    netglow replied to lis4b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have you considered whether your fiance is not really with you on your plan to be a nurse? Many posts on this forum about that aspect of becoming a nurse. Some guys fear you will meet some fabulous MD...

    How would you respond to this doctor?

    netglow replied to Parsifal's topic in MICU, SICU

    "Well no, no it won't "cure" her silly-head..." Heh. But that kind of answer isn't nice (unless the doc is a you know what). I'd try to carefully help the process because remember it's scary when...

    What Kind of Positions Are Available for a New Grad in a Doctor's Office?

    netglow replied to kwaziness's topic in General Nursing

    Marketing is very common for proceduralists the type of specialists that need primary referrals. Especially a new doc needing work. You bring food and maybe talk them up (tho everybody is too busy to...

    It's a Myth that it takes thousands of dollars to train a new Grad RN

    netglow replied to andywolfe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know lots of you would not like to hear this stuff because it makes you sad. Healthcare is a pretty sleazy business, and it matters not how old you are when you realize this. Matter of fact, if...

    netglow replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    OK, OK, OK, me thinks you all are a little harsh on the OP (well, except a few). Most of you act like you were never there once. Don't you remember it being overwhelming??? Don't you remember being...

    Peds Practices and Sick Season

    netglow posted a topic in Pediatric

    I've now heard 5, yes 5 accounts out of people I know so I thought I'd share. For the last few weeks or so, you might have seen private peds practices placing ads. They will say PT/FT and might...

    Written up and confused.

    netglow replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your NM could also be "one of those". The type of nurse that believes all hospice patients need to just die and the faster the better. Choking/drowning is fine to them whether on food or bile or blood...
