    Borders Books Liquidation Sale - Nursing Book Stock Up

    lrobinson5 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    If you want any discount buy the books now. I went to the borders in Riverside and the only thing I found was an nclex medication review, which I bought. Everything else (RN related) was gone. By the...

    Speaking Of The Heat Wave - Hospitals Before Central Air Conditioning

    lrobinson5 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she was trying to be hostile. It was a rumor (and quite a popular one) started by someone that didn't want her to be praised by the catholic church. I think he also claimed she was an...

    It could be coming another round of medicaid/medicare cuts

    lrobinson5 replied to drmorton2b's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why is it that socialism is always related to a terrible healthcare system? There are many successful models, people just can't make the big bucks off of

    L&D - advocating for patients

    lrobinson5 replied to AJPV's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't done my OB rotation yet, but is there a reason to NOT give pitocin once you have an epidural. The biggest mistake I eve made was letting the doctor start pitocin. I wanted to try and go...

    Would You Marry or Date a Patient or An Ex-Patient of Yours

    lrobinson5 replied to Yiggs's topic in General Nursing

    Now say you cared for someone in an emergency room, and months later met them in a bar. Would it be the same situation, or different because you didn't "hook up" because of your nurse/patient...

    Lifting on Postpartum?

    lrobinson5 replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only thing I can think of is bathroom assistance after someone has had an epidural. I know when I had an epidural the first time it didn't wear off for hours. When I finally got up to go to the...

    Ethical discussion about blood donation.

    lrobinson5 replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    Globally the HIV/AIDS rates are higher in women, but according to my microbiology professor, who also works for the DPH, that is inflated mainly in Africa. I know that the CDC still has "men that have...

    I've only ever heard and read the term spouse in a hospital. I live in

    What's wrong with kids today? (and I'm not even that old)

    lrobinson5 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    With the epidural rate as high as it is, there are many women, regardless of age, that "don't want to feel

    Comfortable shoes? Do they exist?

    lrobinson5 replied to Double-Helix's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found these shoes at Kmart that were really cheap, called Therashoe. They're like a rip-off of shape ups, and are very similar to them. My back problems, and the feeling like I've been walking...

    Oh those poor babies!

    lrobinson5 replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I sympathize! I had to get a tetorifice booster at the schools clinic, and she did a Z-track... but then proceeded to rub it in. (Which hurt like a btw) I asked her if they always do that, and she...

    lrobinson5 replied to hurleygirli1's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've been given an awesome opportunity to learn, don't let those people get to you! I know it is tough, but think of the positive experience you got from the first PCT's. Don't let the nasty...

    Unbelievable family

    lrobinson5 replied to cnstecky's topic in General Nursing

    See this is something I was curious about in my first semester. I could SWEAR my instructor said you couldn't just leave restraints on... Not only did you have to check circulation and all that every...

    Nurse Anesthetists programs in Canada?

    lrobinson5 replied to Jasoneks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So what is the point of having a program when their are no jobs available in Canada? Unless it is a private college. I don't really know why they would subsidize a program that will ship graduates out...

    Nursing + Size/Strength

    lrobinson5 replied to breezy7's topic in General Nursing

    In a profession that is predominantly women I doubt you won't get hired due to your size. I'm not saying it is a bad idea to work out, this might help you avoid

    Sad...

    lrobinson5 replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't find anything out of line with what she said. She didn't tell the girl that she was wrong, she incorporated the girls belief in to the explanation, and also her own. She wasn't doing it to...

    lrobinson5 replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    I too agree with brief answers, but I always make a point to tell the truth. I wouldn't lie about what happened, but it is difficult for me to give advice because every child handles things...

    Grunting baby...

    lrobinson5 replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While maybe someone argued you could have waited, I think as a mom I would be more happy with what you did. If a nurse is worried then I probably would have wanted the doctor

    serious question about a DNR order?

    lrobinson5 replied to nobody067's topic in General Nursing

    You fill out the paperwork and I think that is it. Plenty of people make up their mind about what they want done at an early age. As for a bracelet I think you have to purchase that on your own...

    The dreaded pregnancy test

    lrobinson5 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    I wouldn't recommend anyone to a crisis pregnancy center. I would definitely point them towards a planned parenthood. They have actual counselors that listen to you, not wave propaganda in your face...

    How strict are employers in screening people with "1 year RN experience?"

    lrobinson5 replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen some places that are very specific. A year is 2,000 hours of work. So if you worked part time for 1 3/4 years, you will have maybe something like 1600-1800 hours, which is not good enough....

    TSA asks a 95 y/o women to remove brief

    lrobinson5 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I always wondered about that as well. You can walk in to any terminal check-in and everyone that will be on the plane is waiting to check baggage. They are only concerned about stuff that has happened...

    Is it looked down on if you go for BSN full time after graduation instead of working?

    lrobinson5 replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I think in this economy there are going to be many ADN grads that will enter a BSN program when they fail to find employment. I think there will be many in the same boat. However, I think that if you...
