    Drug companies are ridiculous...

    netglow replied to VolunteerCPR's topic in General Nursing

    I don't use a book. Drugs books are outdated way before they hit the printer. I either would use the facility online source, or if none my itouch that has... Medscape, Epocrates, Micromedex, Davis...

    Reflections needed on adrenalin junkie nurses

    netglow replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like your coworker is very immature. Immature people either grow up quickly to wear big boy/girl pants, or they remain

    Denied admission for BSN program

    netglow replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Op, don't know if you live near that college. IF so I'd go in and meet with someone in the actual nursing dept. Often times there are things that you really need to know in order to get in. Maybe it...

    improving staff responsiveness

    netglow replied to idonthaveaphd's topic in General Nursing

    Folks (just in case you didn't/don't know) there is money to hire staff. It's just that it's easier/costs less to make it your problem not theirs to remedy. There's gonna be some great bonuses out...

    Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    netglow replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this. I experienced this in student clinical sitting in group report in ICU. All were given index cards and grilled on their answers for Magnet. All the stupid little mini poster sessions hanging...

    Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    netglow replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    These guys often hire off the street assistants and train on the job. I figure, since the assistant has no license, they work under the dentist's license, OS being ususally a DMD. If those guys want...

    Is it legal for a nurse to work 24 hours straight?

    netglow replied to MrsMwenja_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope that would not be me. Is that patient 24 hour nursing care? I was imagining you having a larger

    Pharmacists giving injections!?!

    netglow replied to chevyv's topic in Patient Medications

    Giving injections is easy, but, I am sure pharmacists would rather be doing pharmacist stuff. This is just added irritation for them. But since a pharmacist salary is set, all the pharmacy chains are...

    Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    netglow replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing

    People ask me what Magnet means, and I tell them that it is a marketing scam to get you to go to that hospital over the guy next door. I've told many, many people, that, and other news they can use...

    We have one for a chain of cancer centers that shows some patient or actor? saying that their other oncs were so mean to them, telling them they should prepare to die (in so many words) and, that this...

    netglow replied to grantz's topic in General Nursing

    All those extras just means they put down the 'ol visa. Means debt. Has no bearing if they know anything or not because of it. How many times have I heard even NGs say, "I took ACLS to look good, but...

    K+ given in the a Docs office?

    netglow replied to melabonic's topic in General Nursing

    Well, do you have a pyxis code to get into the other areas and their pyxis, that would say something? Some offices give chemo, some offices eg rheumatology give infusions

    When to move?

    netglow replied to ertrek84's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the fact that you've been already in the ER for several months will exclude you being given much at all in the way of a new grad program, or even much orientation at a new hospital. I've...

    wierd/scary craigslist job

    netglow replied to Nierdo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Craigslist is something you must be careful of. Do not respond to any ad that does not have some contact information about the company. Many times it will list a fax number, which I google to...

    improving staff responsiveness

    netglow replied to idonthaveaphd's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "guilt into" thing, and the whole "free-for-all" way of patient care is going to backfire. Most nurses know they've got to round again, and again. If you've got someone telling you bits and...

    netglow replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    netglow replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    OK, maybe I shouldn't have read this. Really wasn't a problem for me before, but reading all this stuff kinda puts a little more focus on the whole deal. Memories: Worked for a doc who came up to me...

    Weird question about interview (re:overweight/ not needing insurance)

    netglow replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, if you bring that up suddenly, "I don't need health insurance" then, they will wonder why you said it. That stuff doesn't come up till they offer. They might go over benes in the HR interview,...
