  1. What specialty is most needed in Travel?

    Nemhain replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    From what I hear L&D and PP are the least needed in Travel Agencies. Although, there are a few openings once in a blue moon. Only one of the 5 hospitals in my area (the Northeast) has hired 1...

  2. What do you HATE to do at work?

    Nemhain replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    My least favorite thing is to see (and hear) a call bell go off and the nurse who it belongs to continues to sit at the computer to finish her game of solitaire.

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

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

    You've been in nursing for 27 years? You need a massage! I'm happy that you're going back to learn it. I know it's a little strange to be kneaded and rubbed by strangers, but you'll get used to it....

  4. speaking of call bells...

    Nemhain replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what is was like at the last hospital I was doing clinics at. I thought it was a great system. It would only pick the nurse up if she were in one of the rooms, though. I wouldn't locate her...

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

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

    Hey Zenman! Yes, Zen Shiatsu rules...are you familiar with the Desert Institute of Healing Arts in Tucson, AZ? They've got a great Zen Shiatsu program. I didn't do their entire shiatsu program, but...

  6. Anyone doing Chair Massage?

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

    I'm a LMT. When I'm massaging I prefer to use a table, but oddly enough, when I'm receiving a massage I looooove to get a chair massage. I don't know why, but I just love it!

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

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

    I know how you both feel. I've been a massage therapist for about 8 years now and when I was in school I was so excited to learn massage, but I wasn't too keen on having anyone else touch my...

  8. Atheists attending funeral services

    Nemhain replied to Angelica's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an Atheist and fortunately I am surrounded by a group of people who don't make religious beliefs a centerpoint. I have friends who are Catholic, Baptist, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist. I'm lucky...

  9. Offended by Prayer

    Nemhain replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I am an Atheist, but I wouldn't be offended at all if you said that prayer over my dead body. I feel that your intentions would be good. However, you can ask God to take me into his...

  10. Nurses leaving in droves...

    Nemhain replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, having a plan "B" is definitely a good idea. Actually I had a plan "B" and "C" in place before I started nursing school. plan B...I was a massage therapist for six years before starting nursing...

  11. Buying your own scrubs.... hygienic????

    Nemhain replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    I think every hospital should adopt a policy like Denmark's. Yes, wearing scrubs home that we've all worked in is rather disgusting; I personally don't do it. I change before I

  12. comfortable clogs for clinicals???

    Nemhain replied to kkbaroness's topic in General Students

    I have a pair of the "KLOGS" brand of shoes and I love them! I've had Danskos and Birkis too - both are very comfy, but the Klogs are my first

  13. massage therapists in acute care

    Nemhain replied to jax's topic in International Nursing

    There's a hospital near me (in in the New England area) that employs RNs who are also licensed massage therapists. I'm also aware of plenty of hospitals that have employed massage therapists who...

  15. I Passed!!! I Passed!!! I Passed!!! I Passed!!!!

    Nemhain replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations Chris! I've been following the 'Excelsior Pass Rate' thread (oh boy...) and I just wanted to tell you that I think you'll be a great nurse.

  16. A great school for massage therapy...

    Nemhain replied to Steph in Boston's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I agree with Suzanne on the BSN route. The best BSN school for nursing in the United States (supposedly) is in Seattle at The University of Washington. The HUGE problem with this is that it is...

  17. Trippy Optical tricks

    Nemhain replied to nursebedlam's topic in Nursing Humor

    :chuckle I was staring at the thumbnails for the longest time thinking, "um...I'm not seeing anything...uh, I don't get it". So then I went into Einstein mode and actually thought to "click" on...

  18. Care Plans an Exercise in FUTILITY??????

    Nemhain replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a student who asked an RN recently how often she writes care plans or even looks at them (she's on step-down in a large hospital).... "Care plans?"...and then she just laughed. Oh,

  19. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    Nemhain replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think we should recruit them, especially nurses from countries who already have a shortage (South

  20. Where Have All the Nurses Gone?

    Nemhain replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    About the CC enrollment? Yeah, they've got waiting lists! One CC in my area got 360 application for 32 spaces. But the public University that's only 15 miles away got75 applications for 80 spaces....

  21. Foreign Objects in Body Cavities

    Nemhain replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Yes, Larry, I did get your joke and I thought it was funny and I like your sense of humor!!! Too bad for me that my dry and sarcastic sense of humor sometimes doesn't translate well on a message...

  22. Foreign Objects in Body Cavities

    Nemhain replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Absolutely! Nurses are human! With each repeated incident, I'm sure the shock value decreases dramatically. So until we become completely desensitized (does that ever happen?), I believe it's okay...

  23. Foreign Objects in Body Cavities

    Nemhain replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Prudish? No Larry, I'm not prudish. I just think humans having sexual relations with animals is wrong. Hopefully you were being sarcastic.

  24. What nursing classes are the most difficult

    Nemhain replied to Kristy_joyz's topic in General Students

    Med/Surg1, and at my school there is no speparate pharmacology course; they toss it into Med/Surg1...how

  25. Foreign Objects in Body Cavities

    Nemhain replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I don't care what the doggie was on...WHAT was that woman on? :chuckle I don't think I'd ever be taken alive to a hospital if I were ever stuck on a dog. I guess I don't have to worry since I will...
