How does my Librarianship work into Nursing...good question! Working with the ASN, BSN, and MSN Nursing programs throughout the six different campuses at our university provides insight into what Nursing Students and Faculty face, whether it is class...

Hang in there! I went from almost homeless to an MLS-degreed librarian in 2 1/2 years...was trained in Records Mgmt and Archival work but found Records MGMT was what I HATED! Spent 2 1/2 years in Public Librarianship and on my 4th year in Academic......

Nursing Theorists provide the background for helping develop one's OWN theory of Nursing...this I have noticed from working with various Nursing students over the past 3-4 years at our university.

However, I do have to ask...Why would a hospital allow sexual intercourse between a patient and family member or patient and patient? Help me better understand...thanks!

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!!!!! YES, YES, 1000x YES! That is my response to the question would men die without sex? On a more serious note, read the book His Needs, Her Needs: How to Affair-proof Your Marriage for a more authoritative answer...Sorry, not...

The problem is twofold, the transgendered nursing student may/may not have tried to discuss this with the study group/s in question (it was not mentioned in the post either way) AND the instructor told the class, without mentioning whether or not the...

Do Nurses make the worst patients...in the words of Nursing students...YES!!!!! I've heard numerous times that when 1st year ASNs are doing clinicals and ask patients (who are/have been Nurses) the answer is NO. My question is that if you are wanting...

Apr 14, '05 by erroridiot There are two sides to every coin. I guess that I can't see anything to joke about when human emotions and lives are involved.......but I did notice - IMHO - that you are displaying some ambivalence about this subject...

Yanochka...other suggestion to consider: * Go to your school's library and talk with the librarian(s) about what print and electronic sources (tutorials, Databases, APA, etc.) are available. * Find out if the school has a specific individual dedicat...

Sending positive/loving energy your way...you are right, it should NOT have happened this way...that lady should have been able to pass with pride and dignity!

A REQUEST: VickyRN...I would like to use this information, with your permission, on the LibGuides I am designing for the ASN, BSN, & MSN Nursing Students (and Faculty) at my university (I am the Nursing Librarian there). Please email me at and l...

Louis345...GO WITH YOUR GUT (AND YOUR HEART)! I spent 25+ years in Sales & Marketing and ABSOLUTELY HATED IT! Lost several jobs, had THREE Nervous Breakdowns in 8 years, then bottomed out! Went to Library School at 48 years of age, graduated at 5...

Just trying to point out how much I've learned (in a humorous way) by subscribing to this blog, AND HOW, as one on the periphery of the Nursing profession, I have come to understand and appreciate (as best I can) what you all deal with in your lives ...

I understand...from a distance...BOTH sides of this issue. While seeing different colored/patterned/cartooned scrubs on medical personnel, I used to presume they were nurses. HOWEVER, after becoming a Nursing Librarian I have DEFINITELY learned diffe...

I joined because I wanted to learn about Nursing from the 'after-graduation' nurses' perspective. As a Nursing & Allied Health Librarian I ONLY get to talk with students or faculty and this helps me better understand what all is going on in their...

I would NOT allow my age to be a hindrance to starting another career...I did a mid-life career change at 48 years old by getting a Masters Degree in Library Science (as well as another marriage). You just have to decide to do it and JUST DO IT (sorr...

As a Medical Librarian, I am in the minority here (needless to say!) and in my profession (mostly women and gay men...) I'm the anomaly (Married male, fairly conservative, NRA member, Grandfather, etc.). My outgoing personality is such that there are...

Rachelita...you were 'right on the money' and did the right thing. You spoke to the patient and no one else, therefore communicating only with her, based on what you wrote. Therefore, I do not see how you could have violated HIPPA. Your supervisor is...

If you do not know what an IUD is, do you know what it is used for? Just curious.

I can also understand the 'stiffy' part. While my stepdaughter's breastfeeding might not bother me, the sight of my wife's naked breast would cause a 'rise in the Levis'...sorry ladies but that does have an effect on some men, myself included...just ...

Although I am NOT a Nurse (but a Nursing & Allied Health Librarian) I could see how it might make some males uncomfortable. As a husband and father (three daughters and two stepdaughters) I have been around breastfeeding females for several years...
