  1. Nursing Student Needs Help!

    NCNocRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    These days, short staffing, which used to be for emergencies only, is now becoming an unfortunate everyday occurrence. I know many people are confused as to what constitutes "abandonment." Below is a...

  3. ANA & specialty nurse organizations

    NCNocRN replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, Healingtouch. NCNA supports women's abortion rights without any restrictions whatsoever. The ANA/NCNA proabortion stand is the ONLY reason that I will not join. These organizations need to...

  4. V TACH CARE PLAN HELP

    NCNocRN replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Is the SVT wide complex or narrow? Very important to distinguish, as treatments are very different and what is appropriate for one may be LETHAL for another. Also, look at NEW ACLS algorithms, for...

  9. unit-based orientations

    NCNocRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    A good preceptor is essential to a good orientation experience. Your preceptor will either make or break you. If you feel that the preceptor assigned to you is not a good "match" (for whatever...

  10. Survey: Do you think nurses are portrayed positively in the media?

    NCNocRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think the public at large and most of the media are ill-informed about nursing. While most professions have only one entry level, there is justifiable confusion in the public mindset as to "what is...

  11. Nursing Conditions

    NCNocRN replied to purplemania's topic in General Nursing

    Lack of control over practice environment, to me, is the thorniest problem we nurses face. As the frontline health care providers, we have tremendous responsibility and accountability. However, nurses...

    With the "I can't sleep at night" scenario, history of hypertension, and coughing up pinkish sputum, the man has left-sided congestive heart failure. The blue-tint to his skin show he has hypoxemia...

  13. nursing practice

  20. What am I doing? Am I insane?

    NCNocRN replied to zdjoe's topic in General Nursing

    Go to the post (just down from here) on "Nurses who love their jobs." I think this will be of great help. As for me, I am very, very thankful for the profession of nursing and the wealth of...

  21. ACLS

    Does anyone out there know of a good web site which clearly and succinctly outlines the new ACLS guidelines (algorithms)?

  22. Staff ratios

    NCNocRN replied to kewlnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm very interested. Your post is very intriguing, if not shocking--it puts into question some widely-held beliefs. I was under the impression that working conditions with the big "U" on your side...
