  1. IS THIS TRUE???

    Nurse Leigh replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    So many years ago when I was in college for my first degree and had NO desire to become a nurse, my cousin, who was a student at another university told me about her friend who was in a nursing...

  2. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Nurse Leigh replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    ^^^ Um, part of an RN's duties and scope of practice is to delegate appropriately. Also, to be a CNA, one must go through the training -unless allowed to skip it if they've completed the first...

  3. What are some factors that influence nursing practice?

  4. Tips for Listening to Quiet Respirations?

    Nurse Leigh replied to lizzayzay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ^^ All this, and is you have RT on your floor, take a listen when they do - even if you have already done your assessment. The RT will listen before and after a breathing treatment and they are the...

  5. What are some factors that influence nursing practice?

    Nurse Leigh replied to ONCRN2017's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    Nurse Leigh replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also really wish admin would close/lock some of the old PVT threads that are largely regarding the "old way". BTW, I'm glad I didn't even realize there was a "trick" back when I

    So over **** shaming in this society.

  9. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Nurse Leigh replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    Ok, how about if I jump in and say that "Kinda hard to not treat her like the whore of Babylon when THAT'S WHAT SHE'S ACTING LIKE" was uncalled for. Stripping, whether in person or virtual, does not...

  10. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Nurse Leigh replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty conservative with my *own* personal life, but take a pretty liberal view of human sexuality in general. I'm not about to jump on the OP for her choices even if I wouldn't do this myself....

  11. indefinite suspension because of med error

    Nurse Leigh replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Perhaps she should have made sure that the patient ate something to help keep his BS from dropping further, but IIRC metformin is not normally held due to low BS. (Correct me if I am mistaken -it's...

  12. Dried blood

    Nurse Leigh replied to yeezimiller's topic in General Nursing

    Or maybe worried about catching the elevated blood

  13. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Nurse Leigh replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just wonder why the need for the education of a Registered Nurse if, as you say, you use very little of that education as a Nurse Practitioner. Again, this is merely my opinion, but I...

  15. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Nurse Leigh replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^^Hmmm. To me, that begs the question as to why completing NURSING school is necessary if they think the NURSE in NURSE practitioner is unimportant. *sigh* One of the people I most admire (and...

  16. "Just" a CNA?!

    Nurse Leigh replied to AliceTrout's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know of no facility or state that would allow a CNA to perform actual patient assessments. You may be allowed to take and record vitals or obtain blood glucose levels but you have neither the...

  17. Black Humour

    Nurse Leigh replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    Apologies if this has already been posted, but I heard this quotation the other night and immediately thought of this thread. "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it...

  18. Stay AWAY DROM DLSI of Indiana

    Nurse Leigh replied to nicernurse1's topic in Excelsior College

    Is this comment in regards to The Commuter? If so, you might want to take a step back and reread her comment with a little more comprehension. She agreed the entity you mention is not a good choice...

    Nurse Leigh replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

  21. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've been wondering where she is as well and had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Hate that my gut feeling is right. Esme is such an integral part of AN and i can't imagine it without her....

  22. FLAME ON!

    Nurse Leigh replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Also, to those discussing the eating of youngins', you seem to be forgetting the classics methods of prep such as fondue. And I recently watched an old episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown and...
