    DNR and pacing.

    That is an interesting question. If this is new onset cardiac, then it needs to be discussed with the patient. Sometimes when someone for instance has terminal cancer, they know they planned for that...
  2. Some kind of rookie, that hospitalist. My niece's generation ...well, she can text with one hand, and do it without looking. She can text holding her phone inside her purse - so she tells me that's...
  3. I'm with the "high-five" group. Pretty sure that the "RN on a mission" was seriously PO'd that she wasn't the one in there with the

    Leaving After 10 Months

    New Grad Nurse needs advice please!

    She's not an NP just an MSN. She has to work to learn like everybody else. You know OP, you do need to get a handle on your situational shock. I think that this is true for all of us new/newer...

    Clinical Director interview - HELP NEEDED!

    Ha ha. I'm far from that in respect to nursing, LOL. BUT!!! I can tell you that you will need to think globally. Be prepared to answer the big questions as far as keeping all you survey at best...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    Hey it's college. Graduation ceremony with all the other graduates is fine and enough. If there is a barbeque or a celebration somewhere afterwards then fine. But, the whole idea of a pinning ceremony...
  10. This is what happens when The Mocking Thread gets removed. But really folks, if you don't agree/understand the OP's vent, then, you are either 1: not an RN, or 2: you have lost your marbles...

    Working for the Rich Population?

    Some of the teens in my area routinely walk around with 1000 bucks in pocket. They have everything/travel everywhere even eg fly to Aspen with friends for the weekend alone, etc. Unfortunately this is...

    Has Nursing hardened you?

    Back to the original question. Yes. Sure. But I will hold firm to my observation that healthcare is an "irritable" profession on the whole. Sometimes I wonder if there are just too many people with...

    Working for the Rich Population?

    Sure, hospitals will probably have that new renovation done so nice building etc. that always helps the daily grind, but what is so smoke and mirrors is that the corporate ownership will skimp on...

    Working for the Rich Population?

    No. I don't think he means that. He means if you work in an affluent area. I live in one of those areas, and I will say that old old money folks are great as patients (unfortunately most of them are...

    narc waste a little long

    Yeah, don't get why you are so peeved
  18. I don't think there is anything to report except the lack of a tele monitor that worked. It happens. Looks like you got an EKG to check things due to the monitor fail, and you were NSR. You might say...
  19. I agree, no apologies needed from BlueDevil, DNP. There is so much crap out there that is not true. People are sold out to think that they have many options as a nurse when simply that is only a...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    But, you see most of these pop up home health companies (more open daily) really aren't legit. They just want you to chart and leave for the next patient. Really, it's about submitting charting for...

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    Me three. The NCLEX is a very easy test - it's not really about nursing competency. It's about how well you can play the game. But using that as a measure, if you can't seem to realize that its just a...

    Pushed Around..

    If I was there when she said, "It's over and done with, and I'm not talking about it any more.", I would've said, "You're gonna hold your breath now till you pass out, aren't ya - because you're...

    Justbeachy, I have seen the same pop up in my area. Really you need to look at your local community college and take that track of classes that will give you HIT certificate training. I hear that jobs...
