    Gulf Coast Region - Live there? How is it?

    Gennaver replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi there, I need a little help with this one. I am from Chicago and we have a variety of different cultures, (for me, race as a word has lost its meaning). So, I really do not catch the drift here....

    Gennaver replied to km05's topic in General Nursing

    Hi km05, I suggest that you call a few local hospitals and talk with their nurse recruiters to get a feel for the facility and to pick their brains, find out about them and ask if they can schedule...

    Gennaver replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Florry, I can see that you are passionate about infection control and also believe manyh of the posters here are as well, yet, in the US it is sad but, we also have acceptance. We have to now...

    Gennaver replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Marie, Yeowch! I am sorry that she had to experience that and am at the same time, grateful for her that it was only a sudden stop and not something serious enough to embed the bell into her...

    Wearing scrubs in public...

    Gennaver replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    :) Ha, Something else that baffles me is how people must think hanging them as a rear mirror ornament somehow would exclude them from becoming a dangerous -take your eye out or worse- type of...

    Wearing scrubs in public...

    Gennaver replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I do not necessarily think this was bad advice. I live in Chicago but, would guess that any area could have the same situation where the scrubs, as a uniform, give an impression of credibility....

    Chewing Ice!!!

    Gennaver replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I bet their dentists have probably told them not to do this, hard to stop I do not doubt. I saw a documentary and it included how our teeth are hard yet porous and that chewing ice forces those...

    Shoe question...

    Gennaver replied to slu_rn's topic in Emergency

    Hi, Aha, this makes sense. I figured that nurse mates must be for folks with flat feet. As I posted, I not only have an arch but a high arch. Ew, yeowch how the nursemates make me suffer. With each...

    Shoe question...

    Gennaver replied to slu_rn's topic in Emergency

    Hi, While I have heard so many good things about nurse mates, I cannot wear them for even 8 hours without pain. It is most likely because I have a high arch/instep and these offer nada for an arch...

    Gennaver replied to old heart's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have had coworkers at three different hospitals use this, (on armpits too). I haven't read the ingrediants for shaving foam but, the moisturizer and the cleaensure and the frangrance just must...

    GRE's

    Gennaver replied to dfk's topic in MICU, SICU

    Hi there, I think there may be some miscommunication here. The way I read it, we are all three, (you, myself and the poster I replied to) in agreement. Gen p.s. and I could not even name a citation...

    ICU - Should I stay or go?

    Gennaver replied to OahuRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hello OahuRN, Was it your husband's post I read then when a poster said his wife's preceptor disconnected a chest tube for four hours!? As a test? Wow! What ever became of that?

    Hi Marissa, I get you now. I see how you are separting using JHACO pain protocols as faulty justification when the true justification is for actual sedation. Very good point and a more legitimate...
