  1. Stethoscope of choice

    Nemhain replied to DEH's topic in General Nursing

    I've gotta be a rebel and go with an Ultrascope. It has been compared to Littman Cardiology, but it's a lot

  2. state is threatening to go after license over precharting

    Nemhain replied to oramar's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had this one clinical instructor who was worse than a drill sergeant. "NEVER NEVER Prechart" she would say. I can still hear her voice and it haunts me at night. :chuckle I think I don't do it...

  3. How much debt would/did you incur for school?

    Nemhain replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an ADN program at a University. The entire program costs about $10,000. I got into this program a year early. I thought I should just wait a year and go to the Community College and it will...

  4. Becoming an RN?

    Nemhain replied to rolofd's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think working as an ER tech would count as part of your hospital Registered Nurse orientation. Actually, I don't see how it could. You'd have to do the orientation as a Registered Nurse...

  5. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  6. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi there! I've been a massage therapist quite a while now in addition to being a nursing student. Tables: Hmm...about massage tables...some are definitely better than others. I have an Oakworks and...

  7. school retention rate or nclex pass rate-which is more important?

    Nemhain replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Students

    I'd have to say go with a high NCLEX rate. A lot of schools in my area bounce between 85 - 100% and they all have about the same retention rate which is about 60%. There is one school that has an...

  8. Gastric bypass question

    Nemhain replied to oostarglowos's topic in General Nursing

    IMO I think it should be done as a last resort. I know about 6 people who've had gastric bypass...4 of them lost a lot of hair and were malnourished. They were all happy that they had the surgery...

  9. Nurse Massage Therapy

    Nemhain replied to nurseyperson's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hey Everybody! I've been a licensed massage therapist for a while now and I was just wondering if you all were aware of the "National Association of Nurse Massage Therapists". Massage Therapy is a...

  10. Competent and Risk of losing License

    Nemhain replied to Goldenearring1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No that's not right. You're orientation should be at least 6 weeks. Also, I've never heard of just one nurse caring for mom immediately after delivery and also have to be caring for the neonate....

  11. Help....tried out Littman Classic II

    Nemhain replied to aegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard good things about Ultrascopes. I think they're around

  12. nurse to patient ratio

    Nemhain replied to StacyKingRN's topic in General Nursing

    The first place I did my Med/Surg clinicals (i'm still a student) the day shift had 4:1 about 70% of the time and 3:1 30% of the time...no joke...and they even had 1 CNA for every 12 pts. The nurses...

    Nemhain replied to Rn_mady's topic in General Nursing

    Improving working conditions should do

  14. What specialty of Nursing is most needed in Travel nursing

    Nemhain replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in Travel

    Med/Surg...at least that's what I've been hearing. Up here in the northeast it's rare (but not unheard of!!!) to have OR, ER or L&D travel nurses. The local hospital here hasn't had a travel...

  15. How many of you practice homeopathy?

    Nemhain replied to healinghand's topic in Holistic

    I practice homeopathy on myself. I have really good luck using it to treat flu like symptoms and upper respiratory conditions. I do know quite a bit about homeopathy, but I have not had any formal...

  16. Dirty South Is Plain Old Dirt Cheap

    Nemhain replied to nicmoe's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Just curious...what part of the south are you

  17. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Nemhain replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Eeeeew...these are all really gross. Hmm...I've had some gross ones, but so far the ones that always get me are the obese ladies who always seem to have a large quantity of vanilla pudding like lady...

  18. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

    Nemhain replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly don't want to look like a marshmallow, so I'm gonna say no way on the all white uniforms...yuk. I've always thought that it would be a great idea if nurses at any given institution...

    Nemhain replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    What do I hate to do at work...? ...someone else's

  20. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    Nemhain replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    GOOD POINT! The one I really don't get is when the pharmacist refuses to fill it and then won't give the pt. the doctor's perscription back to be filled somewhere else. I think that is wrong and...

  21. St. Joseph's College: Maine

    Nemhain replied to gerinurse10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey...funny enough, but one of the clinical instructors at my school just finished her MSN through St. Joseph's distance program...also I know several people who have gotten their BSN (not a distance...

  22. Your perception of student nurses when they visit your hospital?

    Nemhain replied to avery's topic in General Nursing

    ...I thought I'd put my 2 cents in too about being a student nurse.... I know how it feels to have someone (a student nurse) watch your (the RN) every move. I usually keep my mouth shut when I see...

  23. Massage...how often do you indulge?

    Nemhain posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    A nurse's work can be hard on the back and feet. I get a massage once a month and it really helps. Anyone else? If you have never had a massage I highly recommend you get

    Nemhain replied to Ruqayyah's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Welcome to the Board! :balloons: Nurses keep track of the Intake and Output of patients to make sure what's going in is coming back out. If the intake in 3000cc and the client has only voided 500cc...

  25. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    Nemhain replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    Just a comment...the nursing profession needs more Nurses who are men. My whole life half of my good friends have been men. In every job I've had I've been greatful to work with wonderful men. I...
