  1. I Love being a Christian Nurse

    *4!#6 replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree, I love being an atheist nurse. What's the point? I hope our patients would be getting the same quality, excellent care. This post wreaks of

  2. The Negative Effects of Foam/Alcohol Hand Sanitzer

    *4!#6 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    I am not allowed to wear gloves when passing or picking up trays unless picking up trays from a dirty untility room. We have been told that because we cannot foam in/out, it is not allowed to wear...

  3. The Negative Effects of Foam/Alcohol Hand Sanitzer

    *4!#6 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering if this is the solution, however I remember that it is our facility's policy and Joint Comission's to foam in and out after each room no matter with any pt contact or not. Also, many...

  4. The Negative Effects of Foam/Alcohol Hand Sanitzer

    *4!#6 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way I can reduce my use of the foaming saniziter. I visit pt's room 100 times in a 4-5 hour shift. Foaming in and foaming out each time. I am timed on my performance and how many pts I...

  5. There Are Easy Nursing Jobs......

    *4!#6 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    One of my teachers for community health was an occupational health nurse. She created a lot of educational materials and wellness information for the workers. I think instead of sleeping you could...

  6. Full Skin Assessments

    *4!#6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have heard recently of incidents where things got missed on skin assessments on the unit (some very serious). I am soon to graduate and am just wondering how people go about doing a full skin...

  7. Full Skin Assessments

    *4!#6 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    I understand with AAOx4 patients that are able to walk on their own that there is probably little concern for issues such as pressure ulcers. This is what I am paranoid about missing. How would you...

  8. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    *4!#6 replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad to see so many newer nurses and soon to be graduates chiming in. We need to support each other. I have seen a lot of negative attitudes on threads here. I have not encountered this in the...

  9. Full Skin Assessments

    *4!#6 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I was a CNA in a nursing home for years before nursing and I have seen many butts and other body parts lol. I don't know what my shyness is about patients in the

  10. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    *4!#6 replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    My BSN program was the same. I was often up until 1-2am in the morning doing the prep work, to be up by 5am. All written work from research in textbooks. I was caring for 3 patients last year on a...

  11. Pain assessment: do you believe your pt when...

    *4!#6 replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my tonsilectomy (at 19 y.o.), I had to wake up in the night to take my pain medication. If I didn't, I would wake up in excrutiating pain in the morning. I think this is another...

  12. Grossest thing that you've experienced?

    *4!#6 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a story but I just wanted to say how terrible I feel for this patient, that has to be so painful and miserable There are worse things then

  13. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    *4!#6 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    With the new healthcare reform, even though the aging population is getting bigger, services are going to be dramatically cut. I think I remember see that the goal is to cut hospitalizations by...

  14. Poor nurse role models.. is this what I have to look forward to?

    *4!#6 replied to Jane says's topic in General Nursing

    It's the truth had this happen to me more times then I would like to admit!

  15. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    *4!#6 posted a topic in General Students

    I know that nursing school is an expensive adventure for many people, myself included. However I just wanted to compile a list for all to see about the "hidden" costs that we incur --- Clinical fees...

  16. Progressing from nursing to mortuary science

    *4!#6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been thinking a lot lately about what I am going to do after I graduate (in May). I am just wondering if bedside nursing is really what I want to do. I have always been curious about mortuary...

  17. Things that nurses say that may seem inappropriate to lay people

    *4!#6 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    LOL @ the second one -- I always have tried to find a way to explain this to people without sounding a little off but never win. "Most people want to blow in the tube but you've got to suck on it"....

    From a dietary aide: When I knock on the door and announce myself, please answer me if you are able to. Next time I get stone cold silence I'm going to take this tray and eat it myself! Also, for the...

  22. I showed emotion in front my clinical instructor - is that bad?

    *4!#6 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I would bet you're not the first person to burst out crying in front of professors and won't be the last. Nursing school is like a pressure cooker. I've had to bite back tears a few times, and I won't...

  23. Should I Reschedule Phone Interview?

    *4!#6 replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    Can you re-schedule your orientation day for the nursing home? I bet if they are desperate (and from my own experiences at mine, I know they probably are -- my nursing home goes through staff so...

  24. Seriously Considering Quitting

    *4!#6 replied to jackometer's topic in General Students

    That seems odd. When you have two patients, I usually do my vitals and assessment on one, bring their meds, then move on to the next. Usually I'll chart vitals and pain right away, then document a...

  25. Nursing School Must Haves??

    *4!#6 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    A laptop with internet, especially if you live off-campus. I survived without one when I lived on campus, however now I would never make it. In nursing school things change at the drop of a hand...
