    Agnus replied to isadoragag's topic in General Nursing

    Agnus replied to NurseWillow's topic in General Nursing

    omg Thank you what a wonderful comforting tool. I am guilty of never having thought of using dolls. I can assure you this would be a great comfort to me as a patient. I can just imagine what it...

  4. when a boxer is cut

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your feedback. I needed to see if my "theory" made sense and to make sure I was not missing something. You confirmed my understanding with no one suggesting anything different. So...

  5. when a boxer is cut

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. The story Rocky was set in noveber 1975 to new years day 1976. Blood born illness were not an issue then. It is hard for some of the people here to realize that since many of them where...

  9. when a boxer is cut

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Relieveing pressure was my thought too. But I had not considered pain (as Rocky had to be in a ton of pain already all over. This was the 15 and final round.) I just figured the swelling took up so...

  10. Doctors are Bullies

    Agnus replied to madwife2002's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agnus replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My school fully supported men in nursing as did the area hospitals. (I live in different local now but still excellent support for men) It is interesting that your school asked permission of women...

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks CT Pixie for the link. I knew they use (showed this in Rocky as well) several meds to deal with bleeding but did not know what they were. I was hoping some one would cover this and you came...

  13. wrong route phenergan?

    Agnus replied to cybernurse614's topic in Patient Medications

    Phenergan IV is the most common route ordered. I would be more concerned about an IV system that uses needles. I would be more concerned about using any system that I was not familar with. Get some...

    Jeffthenurse weather or not it ever comes to insurance denying payment the situation being described in the hear and now. In the hear and not this nurse is being denied a particular job based on...

  15. Frustrated at work

    Agnus replied to AprilRNhere's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she is trying really hard not to eat her young. She would like to keep you and it working hard not to over tax over burden you beyond what you might be able to handle comfortably. TALK...

  16. For all mums out there

    Agnus replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    Let me explain my previous post. I do not mean to say do not answer her questions. By all means be factual and honest. If you are not her teacher she will look else where. If she is asking there is...

    Agnus replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    It might to be wise it inquire what is prompting her questions so that you understand how best to answer them at this time. This also gives you the opportunity to clear up any errors in her thoughts....

    Agnus replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to see a new grad who is the only nurse in the hospital. If you are unsure go to your charge nurse at the least talk to the other staff nurses. We are all teachers. We have all been...

  22. REAL World Of Nursing!

    Agnus replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say I agree entirely with these lessons. Never had nor seen a secretary being an nurse's worst enemy. The reason you do not talk about a patient is not because a relative might be there it is...

  23. My Plan

    Agnus replied to PhilaGuy's topic in General Nursing

    1) I agree with you completely 2) You apply where there is an opening like everything else. It is not at all unusual for new nurses to hire on directly into a specialty 3) You seem a bit idealistic....

  25. Acused of no compassion

    Agnus replied to nurseofficegail's topic in General Nursing

    There is more going on here than you are aware of. When ever someone make a generalized accusation you need to be very professional. You need to ask for clarification. You are not as compassionate...
