Hi, I'm going for my bsn and we have a alternative health nursing class in which we are to do a presentation on magnet therapy. Does anyone know where you could get some printable literature or get a hold of some magnets for free etc just for presen...

My husband and I have been having this discussion since my DR recently found a nodule on my thyroid. What do you think or what would DR's think of a spouse requesting to be in the operating room during a surgery? Do you think it is possible, have y...

DAQUEENGENE, Thank you for caring about your patients and me, you are the first one who has not totally bashed me. I am a good nurse and believe in the same things that you do. I don't make people step out of the room when changing "mother" when th...

CCU NRS Where do you see on my profile that I am a CNA? That is not even a choice under the educational profile. My orginal profile contained my date passing my RN boards which stated "new RN 8/12/03". I have since changed that so no one can ...

yes i am realistic enough to believe that i am not the only pt as well i know this for a fact but i do expect as everyone to have their basic needs met, pain mangement, toileting, diet and the ability of the nursing staff to be their to care for me, ...

I really hate to tell you when you are a pt in the hospital it should be about ME ME ME, I am paying for your salary (inadvertently) and you are there to do a job and that is to care for ME ME ME, I am not asking you to drop everything to get me a Wh...

I didn't mean what was really stated by saying I didn't want you taking care of me or others what i meant was you need to be a little more understanding and flexible to people's wishes, just one wish, not that of many. Yes, i did ask for your advice ...

Ok i give up, cause i can see that I am not getting anywhere with the posters here and ultimately you don't have any say in anything just your opinions. So to all of you belittlers out there you are exactly the people that shouldn't be taking care ...

yes i certainly understand the whole bit about the sterile field and infection control but you cant tell me that a lot of infections don't stem from the OR. With the rise of infections in hospital which a good portion being nonsocomial, so what if an...

ccu rn you have hit the nail on the head when talking about what would happen should anyone pass away in the OR everything is after the fact...... not during minutes of the incidence maybe not even hours after the fact. Do you honestly feel or think...

I'm sorry you can't understand why things are as they are. Maybe you could spend the day in the OR with another nurse and then maybe you'll understand why the rules are why they are. Also, I really think you need to understand that you aren't going t...

thanks for the replies and i know everyone has a job to do etc and don't want the added trouble of someone else in the room but he is not the least bit squeamish, watched all my births, guts deer etc. Do people not have a heart out there...... What ...

I apologize, must not have read the entire heading or location of posting, can you retract your vote from the poll? Will gladly do so so you can have and accurate number for your poll. Good Luck job hunting or negotiating.

I think you should have lowered your numbers a little, or you must be dreaming that the average nurse working 45 hrs or less is making 100,000 should have started out at less than 50,000.

I understand it to be you can work at any of the critically short areas, ie hospitals, nursing homes, state dept of health, indian reservations etc, anything but dr offices and free standing clinics and dialysis units. I am interested also in this pr...

Not to take anything away from the family but staff also needs some emotional support in this situation also. Does your facility have an employee assistance program? I know the tears shead for a former employee at our facility who came in with a poss...

We were at a local hospital doing our clinicals pt care medications etc. My day to pass medications. Did well at naming them and what they were used for etc. Went to pt room did checks again, instructor had to leave room for another student and told ...

Not to change the subject but I'm just udderly surprised at the amt of medication she is receiving and has not actually passed away from respiratory depression etc. I don't know her condition and won't pretend to but how can someone want to live out ...

wow, i never knew of such a controversy with fentanyl, we give it iv push all the time and have never seen any ill affects. Also we many times have GI surgery pts come up with epidurals of fentanyl, which they do have to be monitored frequently as d...

Sister in law called this am stating her husband a type 1 diabetic awoke confused, didn't know who he was and was doing bizarre things like taking everything out of the dresser drawers, then he got very upset and was crying like a baby. He received a...

3rd shift guy, that was my first guess but do stroke pts usually have such bizarre behaviors, memory loss i can see but he was doing things that he doesn't even remember. The bad side is that he is only 23 yrs old with two young children and his eye...

I finally got my reprieve from my horrible working conditions, with a new job offer this week that i accepted. You to need to think long and hard about your situation and do what is best for yourself, because ultimately its you behind and license on...
