God I hope not...although it make me wonder about a number of nurses and their insecure attitudes. I got really lucky very early in adult life. I not only adore my husband. I respect him. He has...

I think there should be some clarification and distinctions made on the difference between a decent starting salary versus fair salary gradation for experience and
Well, as the others have said, it really depends on what you are doing and why. You could give a 100% FI02 by positive pressure, but if the person's heart is unable to pump effectively, pulmonary...

I mean that's a good plan. Unless you are doing so big time, serious shadowing or something very close up and person with it, it's really hard to get, that is, to have that "Ah ha" moment. Even then,...
Well caffeine is given to some patients. It's in the computerized kardex. Some neonates with certain cardiac disorders get caffeine too; but I haven't give them coffee. LOL I have been bad though....

I agree with this, and I had a great reply, but for some reason, every time I go on to this site with Firefox browser, there are problems. I may post it tomorrow. Just wanted to say, that you...

I know the areas in which I worked, guess what--tons of liability in taking on a role that, in the units--they can become quite stressful. Fellows and attendings are there so, often. They want...

There is a sucker born every minute. As I stated: "Your friend graduated about ten months ago, so someone dumped charge on him or her (kind of early for a 10 mo. new grad). Good chance this is a...

What's too funny? Your friend graduated about ten months ago, so someone dumped charge on him or her (kind of early for a 10 mo. new grad). Good chance this is a fluke, or not altogether...

Yes, I agree. But apparently he was some young kid. I'm wondering, you'd think he'd quote some rate or salary to a teacher, a physician, a social worker, pharmacists, physical or occupational...

Yes doeRAYmee, but what I have said is that you won't see this "a lot in the hospital setting," which you will not. I looking at it from a normal distribution

Right. Generally the first line is to treat the cause or possible cause--i.e., dehydration. Of course this is done more carefully in a baby, child, or person with certain cardiac dysfunction or...
Exactly. I have visions of nurses wearing skimpy bras with those old-fashioned trays strapped over their necks saying "Cigar? Cigarette?" Oh. . . Wait. . . . LOL Maybe it might be medical marijuana...

BTW, your whole response is without insight and substantive basis. What's more it's incredibly assanine. The higher degrees have some benefits, but mostly, they are necessary for the advancement of...
Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing
LOL. I am not bitter; that is what you do not understand. Again, you make this something personal without really trying to understand what has been said. You're desire to take things personally has...

My question is this. What drew you or what area did you fancy the most during clinical rotations? What kind of thinker and learner are you? What get's you passionate, and what seems like "ey!"...

Well Jail, back in the day, changing specialties was a lot easier to do. Today, things are so tight in hiring, it's tough to get into other areas w/o experience. It's the market and cost control...

Well, to go back to what Eroc was referencing, which I am not sure he sees yet. He might, but I'm not sure. (As my mother always said in terms of raising children, "There's theory, and then there is...
