  1. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    RunnerNurse09 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I have read countless articles that have stated that the weight gain that comes with menopause stems largely from the great reducton of muscle mass that starts in your 30s. I am female...

    RunnerNurse09 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

  5. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    RunnerNurse09 replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    The saying itself truly varies. If someone is having a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, like sustained vtach, its not something to ignore, not matter how well the patient feels. However if...

  6. Family History and Disease Correlation

    RunnerNurse09 replied to StrawberryEllieBean's topic in General Nursing

  9. New Grads With Attitude

    RunnerNurse09 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RunnerNurse09 replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RunnerNurse09 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    RunnerNurse09 replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think if you are not compliant, and I mean blatantly non compliant (as in u have cancer and are still smoking), insurance should stop paying for your medical coverage. Period. It's total nonsense...

    RunnerNurse09 replied to darbyspinx's topic in General Nursing

    RunnerNurse09 replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    @law1157 you really need to approach your employer if u have a masters degree and are out paid by an lpn. That is not right, no matter how many years he/she had in. What field are u in may I

    RunnerNurse09 replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing
