  4. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

  5. Personal Trainer?

    Saifudin replied to Sue Damones's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Regarding your second question about becoming a CRNA or Acute Care NP; if you like direct patient care and dealing with a variety of situations, conditions, etc., I'd go for the NP. Also, once your...

    Saifudin replied to jennifers's topic in General Nursing

    That's correct diabetes type I and II are not related to the pituitary. Type I, meaning a total lack of insulin is likely autoimmune. There is evidence that beta cell damage may be secondary to a past...

  8. Need advice about nursing home placement for my grandfather

    Saifudin replied to swirlygirl's topic in General Nursing

  11. Discussing religion in the workplace

    Saifudin replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    First, I commend Missrose for writing 'Muslim' and not 'Moslem'. The first spelling is phonetically correct. I never had that experience but I left the States before cultural diversity became a buzz...

  12. News Flash! Nurses Get The Boot!

    Saifudin replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    It seems the nursing job situation varies according to the region. It may be that we will have to be like 'journey-men/women (people-PC?) and go where the jobs are. I work overseas and after 14 years...

  13. News Flash! Nurses Get The Boot!

    Saifudin replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    Health care is another service industry with huge overhead costs, particularly labor and highly dependent on revenues (like what isn't), so it makes sense with 1.1 million jobs lost only Dec/Jan, I...

    Saifudin replied to cheshielynx's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Saifudin replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think its agreed that patients (and staff) must be able to fully understand their providers as the providers must be able to understand their patients. It is a logical conclusion, therefore, only...

  20. Back Rubs
