  1. What procedures are you curious about?

    mshultz replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    My health class instructor made the comment that he could see how people could get addicted to narcotics. My father, on the other hand, hates

  2. Change room, staff room, gym, locker room?

    mshultz replied to woknblues's topic in General Nursing

    One of the big surprises when I started to read this forum years ago, was that all hospitals did not have locker rooms and showers for their employees. We have locker rooms and showers in the...

  3. On-call at home and police wake you up?

    mshultz replied to Conejita's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have told my coworkers if I do not show up for work, feed and water my dog, and then call NEOUCOM (the local medical school) to come and pick up my

  4. Informed Consent Dilema!

    mshultz replied to ecat81's topic in Emergency

    I am not a healthcare worker, but I was a patient in the ICU and ED back in 2003. I signed 3 consents, EGD and blood transfusion in the hospital, and a colonoscopy consent as an outpatient. I was...

  5. stopping a CODE

    mshultz replied to creekster_16's topic in General Nursing

    And that is why I would want you to stop the code on me after 10 minutes. Too bad Ohio does not allow me to put that in my living

  6. THC and Schizophrenia

    mshultz replied to yvonne1's topic in General Students

    According to the Introduction to Addiction class I took, people with mental illnesses are more likely to use mind-altering drugs, and are more likely to have bad effects from these drugs. This needs...

  7. Discharged directly from ICU?!?!?

    mshultz replied to VivaRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    That was my situation. I should have been moved out of the ICU after the first day, but there were no beds, so I stayed there another day and a half until I was discharged. When I sent a thank you...

  8. Medical Terminology

    mshultz replied to kgle's topic in General Students

    My instructor described medical terminology as requiring the same time and effort it takes to learn a foreign language. I spent 2-3 hours each day studying and doing homework. Had the tests not been...

  9. Nursing and how the Dow affects us

    mshultz replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    Low stock prices are good if you are contributing into a retirement fund and purchasing stocks with each paycheck. The lower the price of the stocks, the more shares your money is able to buy. When...

  10. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    mshultz replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure that taking a swab from a G-rated location (mouth) and finding "some sort of nasty std" would be an improvement. One of my professors used to have his students do blood typing, until a...

  11. What factors do you think have changed that has an impact on healthcare

    mshultz replied to nursingsteph's topic in General Nursing

    Here is another positive. I just got a brochure in the mail from the local hospital. They are trying to seek certification as a Primary Stroke Center. 20 years ago when I did my EMT-A training time...

  12. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    mshultz replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Are you frustrated when your question is answered with a question? Do you think your instructor is frustrated with the question? Do you answer questions with a question? Why or why

  13. Strange things people present to the ER with....

    mshultz replied to klcrn1987's topic in Emergency

    How was the issue with the purse resolved? In my non-nursing job, I have mailed items back to their owners. I mailed a pair of mittens and an ice cream card to one person (the owner was due for free...

  14. Nurses will do the CNA job

    mshultz replied to bongids's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for that information. Nurse staffing ratios is not a hot topic on the conservative news sites. This is the first I have heard about other staff being laid off in order to help pay for the...

  15. testosterone and curly hair?

    mshultz replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I never paid much attention to body hair on men, until Dr. Gott commented about the correlation between body hair and baldness. I have a full head of hair, and not much body

  16. What factors do you think have changed that has an impact on healthcare

    mshultz replied to nursingsteph's topic in General Nursing

    On a positive note, look at the EMS system. When I was growing up, they used Cadillac ambulances, and the attendants had little training. My city upgraded to all paramedics some years ago. I live in...

  17. Black tarry stools, negative colonoscopy

    mshultz replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. If Ohio law allowed, I would have covered these "futile care" issues in my Living

  18. Echo Heron

    mshultz replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Your computer is infected by some sort of malware. allnurses.com has nothing to do with

  19. Jcaho

    mshultz replied to TraciRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the great truths about life in general. Another one is: Everything is a compromise (so when you hear an ad about a product with no compromises, it's time to hit the Mute button, or turn the...

  20. random drug tests?

    mshultz replied to carrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even if your workplace does not have random drug testing, you may still be required to take a drug test: If you hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), you are subject to random drug testing. Your...

  21. Awkward moments

    mshultz replied to sunchild's topic in General Nursing

    I commented about this in one of the papers I wrote for Gerontology class. When I was in the hospital for a GI bleed I found the intimate personal care to be a fascinating new experience. I knew,...

  22. Which state would be ideal for me??

    mshultz replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have those same 4 seasons in Ohio, except that the construction season is starting to overlap the 3 winter seasons. If there is a break in the weather, construction is resumed now (sigh). One...

  23. Public Speaking Nerves: Class Presentation

    mshultz replied to Plagueis's topic in General Students

    I found my college speech class to be even more anxiety-provoking, since you are being graded on giving a speech, as opposed to providing information. I also get embarrassed and blush. This is just...

  24. What brings non-nurses to allnurses?

    mshultz replied to ruralnurs's topic in General Nursing

    I ended up in the ICU in 2003 due to a bad GI bleed from chronic overuse of aspirin to control headaches. After I got back home, I started to read everything I could in order to understand what had...

    mshultz replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite book is The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need by Andrew Tobias. Another good book isThe Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and
