  1. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    Agnus replied to NeedAdvice1234's topic in General Nursing

    nnnnnnnnnnn

  2. Note: Please don't make identical posts on different forums.

    Agnus replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, thanks. I did not realize things were being posted on forum of all 50 states!! That is a little crazy. I admit I have not taken time to do the tutorial (it takes time) so I have not learned...

  3. worried!!!

    Agnus replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    No one was born a nurse. Yes you get over it. I nearly fainted when I was in nursing school and had to do emergency wound care when my husband cut a big ol' nasty gash in his leg that needed...

  4. Nurses Losing Nursing

    Agnus replied to flowerchild's topic in General Nursing

    So why are you rolling the patient out the door while a UAP is doing the cath? You are still the RN. You are still in charge of what gets delegated. If you choose to delegate the wrong things...

  5. Hospice/Please read

    Agnus replied to Inez's topic in General Nursing

    (((((((HUG)))))))) No she could not survive without a liver. She had no liver. There is nothing more difficult watching someone we love die in this way. It is natural to want to try one more...

  6. Losing your license

    Agnus replied to nursemichelle's topic in General Nursing

    As already stated most if not all BONs publish this information. I have personally known several nurses who have lost thier license permanently and it was not for drug use. It was over issues in...

    Agnus replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    prn, i don't see where you are identifed as a modorator. are you? if not what is your source for this information? are you authorized to speak for brian? i am not being disrespectful. if you...

  8. Will volunteer work help me into the RN program?

    Agnus replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Can't hurt. 75 is quite a large number. And 75 out of 300 is a 1 in 4 chance you will get in. Volunteer work can help but don't expect it to make a big difference. Try getting a job that deals...

  9. Refusing a patient: Is it acceptable?

    Agnus replied to ~Anne~'s topic in General Nursing

    You know I thought of something else. It is not right but on rare occasion there is the nurse who object to taking care of certain types of patients based on the nurse's disaproval of life style...

  10. Male vs. Female

    Agnus replied to CarllS's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting that the question of males cathing females comes up more often than the reverse. Some times it is a problem or a risk. Like when you are falsely accused. I have worked with men...

  11. Drug Testing

    Agnus replied to perfer2Banonymous's topic in General Nursing

    30 days. However if you run across a place that does hair testing shave your head because even if the last hit was last year it will still be there. Hair does not give it up it stays in it forever....

  12. Eating Boogers??? Is this for real?

    Agnus replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Now I have wondered how many non pickers have noticed that your own fingers and the size of your own nostrils are exact perfect fit. There must be a reason. Monkeys, pick thier noses without...

  13. dress code before clocking in

    Agnus replied to dee_OB's topic in General Nursing

    I agree this sucks. On the other hand business casual covers a wide territory. Business casual is not a suit. Business causal can be a nice pair of slacks and blouse. Get your hospital to define...

  14. better day at clinicals...however diagreement with instructor!

    Agnus replied to lilbiskit78's topic in General Nursing

    I speak from personal experience and personal observations. When adults who are perfectly capable of advocating for themselves let you advocate for them they do not back you up when it counts. They...

  15. Refusing a patient: Is it acceptable?

    Agnus replied to ~Anne~'s topic in General Nursing

    sometimes it is better to break up continuity. If a nurse is headed toward burn out on a particular patient I don't believe you are doing the patient a favor by assigning that nurse to him, even if...

  16. thinking my 2 y/o has lead toxicity.....

    Agnus replied to nurseunderwater's topic in General Nursing

    Oh oh. I should clarify. Dr. Gordon's field of expertise is toxicity. Specifically heavy metal toxicity and eliminating it, from the

  17. Have you ever refused to give a certain med?

    Agnus replied to MargRN's topic in General Nursing

    OMG! Narcan is an emergency drug. When used it compeletely reverses ALL effects of an opoid 100%. When we give it we give only enough to restore respirations that have stopped. Then quickly...

  19. Ready to leave supervising

    Agnus replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    I have not been a supervisor, I have been a charge nurse at my old hospital. I call on my charge or supervisor occasionally to check policy, procedure etc. as I am new at my current hosp....

  20. disciplinary nightmare

    Agnus replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    I did not know that you were born knowing everyting about nursing. Calling someone stupid because they lacked information is well.... I hope you were not so stupid that you did not challange an un...

  22. Silly Question - Rotating Weekends

    Agnus replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    there are week day only jobs out there. It is just that they usually are not bedside jobs in a facility. Althought I have even seen

  23. tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    Agnus replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    LTC is so very different than any place else. I feel for those nurses. Most other nurses have no clue the often redicilous legal restrictions on LTC nurses. The paper work along is greater than...

  24. R.N. B.S.N to Physician Assistant

    Agnus replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    DH needs to start marketing himself now to recruiters and businesses. He needs to polish off the resume now and shine the shoes. Waiting until the boom is lowered is too late. If he starts...

  25. Survey of Nurses Rights In Abortion

    Agnus replied to kmchugh's topic in General Nursing

    I personally have participated in the abortion process with patients. I believe any nurse who has objections to any procedure or practice has not only a right but an obligation to excuse herself...
