  1. Bad Parents

    SL2014 replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    This is so sad... There are SO MANY parents like this. People can be so

  2. The nurse as the patient

    SL2014 replied to RetrieverGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would place this into the realm of "medical advice" which violates the terms and conditions of allnurses.com. Call the agency to which you are donating and ask them.

  3. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, I was thinking that's what you were referring to but wasn't sure. Because we had talked about it during class one time and about half of the class was completely against it. Also, there is another...

  6. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've got to say that in pretty surprised by how many people agree that PAS should be available to anyone. I was expecting like 40% never allowable and 40% terminally ill with like 10% undecided. Very...

  7. Joining the army?

    SL2014 replied to heyitsme728's topic in Government, Military

    Military doesn't use LPNs usually. You are required to use a gun. You are also required to pass physical training. 2 miles under 20 minutes, # pushups, #

  8. What do u give for food poisoning?

    SL2014 replied to heyitsme728's topic in General Nursing

    It totally depends on the type of food poisoning. If it was from say salmonella, the treatment would be different if it was from something toxic like an oragnophosphate covered salad item. It would...

  9. Ventilator pt chokes on food

    SL2014 replied to bcassella2007's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Totally off topic but I find this interesting. I was aware that they create erosion but I didn't think that just giving everyone an uncuffed trach was an option. Good to

  10. how much do you disclose

    SL2014 replied to Vallywillis's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You have absolutely no moral or legal obligation to inform your employer. Like the other person said, until they need to accommodate you in some way you do not need to tell them. At that time I don't...

  11. PEth Alcohol Test

    SL2014 replied to curiousrdh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a friend who got a DUI. She has to call a phone number every morning to see if she has to go pee in a cup and they test for alcohol as part of the UA. She also has to pay $35 every time she...

  12. -To all the nurses who chose the nursing path than the physician path...

    SL2014 replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Nursing Career

    I considered being a physician... The I realized that I would have to do 4 years of undergrad, followed by 4 years of medical school, followed by a 2-4 year residency where you are working 80 hours a...

  13. Bullied by a new grad, wth???

    SL2014 replied to jayebug's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry that you feel you are being bullied... It can be frustrating at the very least. But what you are describing I have had happen to me and I have seen happen to other people a MILLION TIMES. She's...

  14. Navy Nursing School advice and questions:)

    SL2014 replied to sharonanderson24's topic in Government, Military

    Agree with the above. You need to call a recruiter. The military is not bringing on people like crazy like everyone thinks. It is hugely competitive. People with enlisted experience will get the first...

  15. A selfish nurse

    SL2014 replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    I literally didn't read more than the first two lines of this post. Lack of grammar in this day and age is a huge no

    SL2014 replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

    Thank you for not making me have to articulate these same responses... well

  17. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I totally see where you are coming from and I do agree, which is why I would never participate in it. I have always said that a lot of the things that we do for dying patients isn't for the patient,...

  18. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the info. They should definitely see about sprucing up the flavor a bit and that really is a good thought... To die in your own bed at home, family members (and pets) by your side on your...

  19. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    SL2014 replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that it is a "stamp of approval" issue as much as it is a humane right. Also, why does it matter that people approve of it but don't want to be involved? Why does one believe that their...

  20. Ventilatory weaning

    SL2014 replied to HLL04's topic in MICU, SICU

    No, this doesn't seem like a bit much... since CPAP is less exhaustive than breathing without any pressure assistance I am not sure what you mean about it exhausting the patient... The problem with...

  21. Injection (Botox, fillers) training

    SL2014 replied to Michelle1111's topic in Aesthetics

  22. should one try to introduce themselves to the Nursing manager?

    SL2014 replied to esther8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This could work for you or against you. The nurse manager will either think that you are eager and awesome or a pain in the neck. Yes, just call and ask who the manager is. Then call the manager.

  24. Associates Degree Nurses

    SL2014 replied to DoogieLove's topic in General Students

    You will find a million threads here on allnurses.com regarding an ASN versus a BSN. There is an over saturation of nurses. There is NOT a nursing shortage. Most hospitals want a BSN because it...

  25. Question to all surgical nurses?

    SL2014 replied to nursesallyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We do this on our floor much of the time depending on the patient's coagulation status and the surgeon's orders. Sometimes they want you to give it, sometimes they don't. I almost always call to...
