  1. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    been there replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  2. Old Ladies Having Babies

    been there replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why shouldn't a 50+ year old be able to run and play? I'm 64 and I do it just fine with my 9 mo old, 13 yr old and 17 yr old grandkids. Kids with "older" parents don't worry about what other people...

  5. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    been there replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    been there replied to xmaxiex's topic in General Nursing

    Good choice!! As a BSN the first thing I did in nursing school was to bathe and wash patients' hair. As a prior DON in nursing homes I was known to change a diaper or two and to help in the whirlpool....

  7. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    been there replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    You are so cool ! The real problem is simple. As students we had to choose 3 patients each at 3:00 pm with as many tubes in them that we could find . Then we had to review the charts and MARs, go...

  8. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    been there replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    Bravo and well said. You got my point across better than I did! Yes, we learn from doing CPs and, I agree, why should we continue to have to use them in the "formal" language? We do spend extra time...

    I apologize if it seemed I made a personal attack on anyone. it was not intended but, reading my post again, it does read as if I did. I truly am sorry for the misunderstanding and hope the reader...

  10. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    been there replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you totally. We don't use the formal format that we agonizingly learned in school in the real world. We did, however, learn by using the format. I'm upset about this issue because I...

  12. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    been there replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

  14. Nursing Wearing Sandals To Work?????eeeeeeeekkkkk!!!

    been there replied to proudmommielpn's topic in General Nursing

    You are right in choosing to wear appropriate shoes. Sandals, as well as sweat shirts, as part of a nursing uniform do not project a Nurse image. If you were to drop a clipboard, on its edge, on your...

  15. labor policy changes
