  1. Would You Press Charges?

    Corvette Guy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

  6. Would You Press Charges?

    Corvette Guy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Like usual, I'm in the minority, LOL. My first instinct is not to press charges! Agreed, this teenager has some severe social issues. However, is she suspect of criminal behavior R/T criminal intent...

  8. Would You Press Charges?

    Corvette Guy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, Denny's for breakfast & an incident at an adolescent psych unit seems like apples to oranges. Of course, such behavior is unacceptable & unexpected at a restaurant. However, although...

    Corvette Guy replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, before pressing charges discuss this misfortunate incident with your supervisor, and/or a peer you trust & can confide with about work related issues. Seems like to me this unfortunate line...

  13. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    Corvette Guy replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've seen first hand lap chole turn into a major open chole w/intraop complications. IMHO, you still need to narrow down your bread-n-butter NP type surgical procedures. IMHO, your not even using the...

  15. Am I Too Nervous????

    Corvette Guy replied to brown eyed girl's topic in General Nursing

    BINGO! OKay, this time I'll take the firm approach. Yes, you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too nervous. You are not supposed to blend in... your a new grad nurse. Not a disrespectful title whatsoever....

  16. Am I Too Nervous????

    Corvette Guy replied to brown eyed girl's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, if you were not feeling anxious as a new GN about to go solo, then you would be fooling yourself. You have been told your doing a fine job and it is time to leave the nest. They did not say fly...

  17. Cardiac Diet

    Corvette Guy replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in Cardiac

    Agreed! Plus, might want to do a search for Heart Healthy Diet. I've always heard the phrases Heart Healthy Diet & Cardiac Diet interchangable. The toughest part about writing a paper is the...

    Corvette Guy replied to zaggar's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    Corvette Guy replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    platon20 - "Yes, and CRNA training is not equal to med school + 5 year anesthesiology residency. So why is it again that CRNAs are allowed to do anything an anesthesiologist can do, with ZERO...

    Corvette Guy replied to zaggar's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ya'll should check out the book The Complete Book of M*A*S*H* by Suzy Kalter [iSBN 0-8109-8083-5]. I still find it hard to believe the final show of the television series was in 1983. :uhoh21: -...
