  2. COPD/Emphysema/Bronchitis

    roser13 replied to bri.mcelveen's topic in General Nursing

    You may be overthinking the issue. The textbook definitions of COPD, emphysema, bronchitis & (don't forget) asthma are just that - basic textbook definitions. Of course an emphysema patient can...

  3. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    roser13 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to imply that the fundraisers are frauds, although obviously that's a risk. I just struggle with the concept of asking the world for money. In the past, if you didn't have enough money...

  4. Talky Nurse

    roser13 replied to HappyWife77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Maryland Delegating Nurse

    roser13 replied to DelegatingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I really don't know what you're asking us, but that might be because I don't know what a delegating nurse is. I also don't understand the relationship that you're describing with the assisted...

  11. Epic Training - Pros and Cons

    roser13 replied to RN_Fan_Club's topic in General Nursing

    This is not what you asked, but it is what it is. I HATE Epic. Classroom training did not/perhaps could not prepare us for real-time operation. Different users/providers have vastly different views...

  12. Smelling like smoke

    roser13 replied to jojo489's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. As long as you live with smokers, you are doomed, in terms of retaining a smokey smell. Bagging your scrubs out of the dryer is a great idea, as is showering, then fleeing out the door. How...

    roser13 replied to deblowe52's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  24. How should I explain to a hospital I want my job back

    roser13 replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Nursing Career

    It doesn't seem very fair to your dad's nephrologist friend to let him go to bat for you without knowing all the facts. "How do I explain to the hospital that I want to work for them again?" Since...
