  1. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'll never work at Planned Parenthood, and I won't work in OB, so I guess I don't really have to worry about it. But thanks for the priceless

  2. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    As for doctors not treating nurses with respect, I suppose that depends on where you work and how you present yourself, and whether the doctor is a orifice. I don't compare myself with MDs. To me...

  3. Please help me - ADN or accelerated BSN?

    ADNRN replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I am a little biased on this issue. I think the greastest thing in nursing is staff nursing. But at the same time, I know that we need managers--I need a manager. We need NPs, CRNAs, MDS...

  4. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    That's right: I'm a nursing student trying to become a nurse. And you say I have a bad attitude. Why? because I think abortion is murder? Because I believe in advocating for the life of the unborn...

  5. Please help me - ADN or accelerated BSN?

    ADNRN replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    To get an RN liscense you have to graduate from an accredited nursing school, be that ADN, BSN or diploma. I'm surprised that you are so concerned already with how to get promoted into a "management"...

  6. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care what you write about me or what you think about me. And I will not defend my position. I write what I write, and it stands as it is. You can interpret it any way you want; it doesn't...

  7. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    IIg, please, since I so seldom can sound out the words in the scientific literature, please tell me where I might read something authoritative that says overinvolvement causes nurses to leave nursing....

  8. RN Difference

    ADNRN replied to aznksswt517's topic in General Nursing

    A registered nurse requires a diploma. Everything else is superfulous. I'm an ADN, because they don't have a diploma program around here and the junior college is cheap. It's also very tough and has a...

  9. Pharmacology

    ADNRN replied to MrsCurly's topic in General Nursing

    sympathomimetic drugs "mimic" an adrenalin rush: fast heart rate, faster respiratory rate, alertness: Epinephrine is the classic sympathomimetic drug. Also think of ephedrine like in diet pills....

  10. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I serve my patients, I am serving myself. That's the whole idea. The separation, the differentiation between me and the patient is only an illusion. The reality is that we are one and the same....

  11. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should interpret what I wrote in any way that strikes you as

  12. What unit do you work in and why?

    ADNRN replied to Soonstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Brandon. I work as an aid in the area where I will also work as a nurse. Our hospital calls it an "intermediate care unit," not to be confused with an "intensive care unit." I think everyone...

  13. Discarded babies

    ADNRN replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    The mother was probably insane. If she wasn't; if she was just a garden variety psychopath she would have had an abortion long before it was born--or just before it was

  14. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Steph, I like that site. I added it to my favorites. I'm a rabid anti-abortionist, anti-euthanasia, human dignity and animal rights advocate. I also happen to believe in socialized medicine for...

  15. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I expect you to take the time to address it. You brought up the platinum rule, and giving an alcoholic alcohol would fit into the dictates of that rule. If you can't defend that rule that you say...

  16. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Steph, I'll go and check it

  17. A Good Nurse.....

    ADNRN replied to hartsbur's topic in General Nursing

    Give up the desire for status beyond the RN after your name.Be content with bedside nursing Be positive with coworkers always, even if faking it is required. Never judge a patient (judge one and...

  18. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mother Teresa was arrogant. She felt she was serving God. She felt that innocently, but she was still arrogant. If one considers the nature of God, one realizes we can't "serve" Him. One realizes we...

  19. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the beginning of my philosophy I quote Christ's prayer. It implies that he was monistic in His thinking. There are many other such verses in the gospel that imply the same thing. So, I infer that...

  20. Lpn's

    ADNRN replied to pettyfoot's topic in General Nursing

    Do LPNs really go around thinking they do more clincials in school? I think in my ADN program we have about as many clinical days all toll as the LPNs have class days in their entire program. I get...

  21. Applying for BSN program

    ADNRN replied to zacarias's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh well, if a hospital won't hire me without a BSN, I guess I'll have to go to the next one down the street that will. Where I live, there are an equal number because we have a very large junior...

  22. STR8 vs Gay Male RN

    ADNRN replied to Ah life!'s topic in General Nursing

    OK, I'll play. I think nursing is hard work, like working on a loading dock. It surprises me that gay men and straight women would be in that field, and as far as women go, they pretty much dominate...

  23. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Over-involvement is one of the major causes of burnout? Perhaps that is written somewhere, but if you go over to nurseweek and read those posts (half of which seem to be written by burnouts) They...

  24. Philosophy of Nursing

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, Larry, if I'm a psych nurse and my patient is going through ETOH w/d and wants a shot--of rum--I should go and get that for him? Do unto others as they would have me do unto them? I found it...

  25. Blood in urine...

    ADNRN replied to Cryssi's topic in General Nursing

    You must make time to go to the ER or your doctor. You're trying to deny it because you are afraid, but in truth, stones or infections are easy to cure. You're going to wait and end up on dialysis....
