  1. Theraputic Privilege: An Ethical Dilemma

    nohika replied to Bhebe55's topic in General Nursing

    No, it says in the prompt that he (David) said it, not the wife. Regardless...I took biomedical ethics last semester and so I can kind of understand this whole funstuffs. Basically...if he has the...

  2. Is NICU for the soft-hearted sensitive types?

    nohika replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think it'd be harder to move into a NICU after Ortho - the patient populations are VASTLY different. You'd never see an infant with a hip replacement. So if you want NICU, go for

  3. "She will not die. She does not have that permission from me."

    nohika replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think part of it is he doesn't CHOOSE what the newspapers use from his quotes. It's hard to accurately judge it without knowing the tone - dead-serious, a touch humorous, or whatever. I...

  4. having a boyfriend vs. nursing studies

    nohika replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    It's not always easy to find a full-time job. I know someone who's been looking for two years. And the only people I know who have full-time jobs (that recently got them as young, just out of...

  5. having a boyfriend vs. nursing studies

    nohika replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's actually a smart move on the boyfriend's part - college costs keep going up and up and up, to the point there are articles out there saying it's actually no longer cost effective to go to...

  6. Beyond Frustrated

    nohika replied to littlemammanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Do you need the money from the PRN job to pay bills? If not, I'd just take a break from that until you can pass it again, possibly. If you do...well, it's better than nothing,

  7. B.S.N. vs. Biology? Which one is more challenging?

    nohika replied to bree*'s topic in General Nursing

    :) For some people it's interesting - I was more commenting that most people would rather avoid those kind of extremely intense upper-divs...one of my friends came out crying after cell bio and then...

  8. B.S.N. vs. Biology? Which one is more challenging?

    nohika replied to bree*'s topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was thinking...what nursing major wants to take organic chemistry? Biochemistry? Physics? Cell Biology? Genetics? None I know,

  9. How to teach an experienced nurse

    nohika replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    That's one of the big things, though - she's NOT a new nurse. She has 17 years of experience. She should be "getting" it sooner than

  10. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    nohika replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look, I've been a volunteer in the same place for 9 months now. I've "graduated" to higher responsibilities - fetching water, getting papers/tools for the nurses. But if one of them - even the charge...

  11. Would you marry a Doctor?

    nohika replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trust me. There's not as many of these in healthcare as you think there

  12. Daily workout check in

    nohika replied to Guest717236's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'll step in and account for myself...went on a walk for a half hour. Man, I'm soooo out of shape.

  13. What is your New Year Fitness Plan?

    nohika replied to Guest717236's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I do the same thing! My mom's big on walking, but I really want to focus on diet...oh well. I think once I get used to walking a half hour to an hour a day, it'll be easier to ease into a better food...

  14. What is your New Year Fitness Plan?

    nohika replied to Guest717236's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm just hoping to start walking for a half hour each day or so. It's not much, but I'm pretty busy as a student (plus a half hour wears me out), but eh. I'm not sure how motivated I am for it. I'd...

  15. Aides being "nurses"

    nohika replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Nursing

    The big thing here is what IS the scope. In a state close to mine, there is a second certification called CNA2 where they can do things such as place foleys, bloodwork, can touch some feeding tubes,...

  16. Infant CPR while holding the baby on your arm...What?

    nohika replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    AHA's taught both my CPR classes and it's what I've been taught both

  17. 2 weeks notice

    nohika replied to Powerof3jlw's topic in General Nursing

    Have you sat down with your preceptor and talked about what she thinks you aren't getting and how she thinks you can improve? A little heart-to-heart and finding out EXACTLY what she wants might...

  18. About to start Nursing School and having doubts

    nohika replied to wishywashy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I think one thing to remember is you won't be done until around 2013-ish. Who knows what the job market will be like then? There's plenty of positions for nurses that SHOULD exist. However, due...

  19. Starting off as a New Grad in the NICU--bad idea?

    nohika replied to iDeftones's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Do you /want/ to be in the NICU? If so, and they offer a decent (16week+ orientation, no less than 12) orientation, sounds good to me. (I volunteer in a NICU/PP/L&D range of

  20. 2 years pp or 1 year pp, 1 yr L&D?

    nohika replied to satguruRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends where you're moving, I guess. Here at the hospital I volunteer at the PP/LD nurses are one and the same - they work both units, depending on where the unit manager feels like putting them that...

  21. Orienting an experienced RN

    nohika replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is in a larger teaching hospital, not LTC. I /think/ by residents she meant medical

  22. preceptor/preceptee, hanging by a thread.

    nohika replied to LordErrorProne-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can see a preceptor saying this out of frustration if they all have more patients - sometimes it falls that way. If the preceptor and the staff nurses all have 7/8 patients, I can see that happening...

  23. IS Gluttony a Disease or Choice?

    nohika replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guilty pretty much of what you described - I'm a stress eater. If I'm upset/depressed/stressed/whatever, tasty food makes it better, even if only for a little while. I haven't had a chance to...

  24. Volunteering

    nohika replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    Where I volunteer it's a year commitment as well, though I'm guessing not everyone makes it the full year. After a year you get the chance to sell back some stuff for money. Some of the volunteers...

  25. What kind of holiday bonus do you get?

    nohika replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    D: I wanna work there! You get 100 days off! :heartbeat (I teasing. =)
