I recently purchased a movie called Florence Nightingale starting Jaclyn Smith...did anyone else saw this movie and what is your opinion,thanks.

I'm thinking of getting my BSN online through Kaplan University but I have to make a fast decision since they start Nov. 10. I have spoken with one of their advisers, the program seems costly 375 dollars per one credit... I'm looking for opinions (th...

I had a conversation with another nurse and she stated that CNAs can be trained in performing an intermittent catheterization (I'm talking about home health aids) I personally think that is not true but maybe I'm in wrong here?

So I have an interview this monday for the medical telemetry unit and the HR person have told me that I need to bring my RN license and CPR card,but mine expired on July I think:crying2: The interview came unexpectedly and I always though that hospit...

I'm a new nurse who is starting unit orientation on Monday and I was wondering what kind of medical equipment you can bring on your wn..like I have read on this board that some nurses buy their own pulse ox,do you guys buy something else and carry it...

I have a patient that takes ibuprofen for her sinus, how do I explain to her that this is not a wise idea? P.s. She is on a diuretic as well so I guess nasal decongestants are contraindicated...

What is the preferable site for giving B12 injection? I'm a fairly new nurse and I have a pt that is receiving B12 injections. I haven't had much opportunity to practice intramuscular injections. I only gave one to a 3 day old baby in a thigh. I hear...

So I became sick (cold or god knows what-np fever but a lot of mucus, runny nose, weakness etc) yesterday. I was assigned a new patient for today (home health) at my part time job (I have two home health jobs). So I called my patient family told them...

This comment is not just worth replying, sorry.

that is not true, I dont drink or smoke yet I'm very against antidepressants, seen people who claimed the meds didnt helped them at all, seen people dying because they took anti-anxiety pills, seen people who suffered brain damage because they mixed ...

I understand that but I'm upset about how she said it, she didnt say " oh I'm mad because you didnt give me a notice but nurses dont have the right to get sick, in business world no one cares if you are sick, even when I apologized she still said tha...

I never call off.

anyway I hope for your sake you wont get sick to the point when you too afraid to drive long distance and someone will laugh at you.

like I said my sickness comes and go...at that time I could barely talk now I had to get up take my meds and eat.

no I should go in and develop complications better yet I should spread my cold to my patient or even better I should have a car crash due to being dizzy, just because I'm a nurse and have no right to get sick.

you dont know my situation so please dont judge me.I was actually choking on mucus and lying in the bed helped me to deal with it (I know strange). I didnt let her know yesterday because I felt that I might get better today, I guess it just prove tha...

I have been with home health for two years and never called off, not even once, last year I also had cold but refused to call in and then I had complication and had an ear infection, so I promised myself that I will never work sick again.

I didnt give her notice because I couldnt get up from bed until 2 pm

how about if I develop a fever? Did you know that overheating can cause birth defects?\

I would get my nursing degree now and have the third baby later, I'm pregnant with my first child (I'm 32) and I never wanted to be a mom in my 20s I always wanted to wait until I'm done with school.Since you already have two kids I dont think it is ...

1. I'm two months pregnant- I need to pay for my own health insurance and my place of employment wont pay me for my time off when I have the baby, plus I need to save money 2. Rent, food, other bills, student loan.

this must be the lamest post I have read in months. I wonder why do I even bother with this website that turned into comedy and a bad one too!

I'm not sure, I'm surprised that so many nurses are quickly to say "yes I would" I have been a nurse for 2 almost two years and I believe any and I mean any field of nursing is extremely stressful and most managers/patients dont appreciate you.

I'm thinking about starting a bsn-rn program,the reason for that is the hospitals in my state are not hiring and I work part-time in a home health care so I have some time on my hands although I'm planning to look for a second job in addition to work...
