    twentytenRN replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* This post just breaks my heart. One of the reasons I can't do adult/geriatric medicine. It just breaks my heart to see these men and women just will themselves to die to join their spouse in...

  9. this hit too close to home...

    twentytenRN replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    Is it at all possibly that "Dad" wants this? I've met several patients that have such a broken heart after losing their spouse that they really just want to join them again in peace. I'm not sure...

  10. this hit too close to home...

    twentytenRN replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    Eeek. That is a difficult situation. IMHO it's probably best to "stay out" of their affairs and just take peace in the fact that soon he won't be suffering and will be comfortable at last. That's...

    twentytenRN replied to ron3000's topic in General Students

    Let us know what you come up with. If I may suggest, you might want to consider getting this book, or one similar as it is tremendously helpful in getting ideas started with nursing dx. The front has...

  13. Speculum burn???

    twentytenRN replied to silverbelle's topic in General Nursing

    Could have been caused from the bovie. If the cautery tip touches it and it's not a thermally insulated speculum, it could cause a burn any where along where the speculum was touching. I would hope...

  15. need help forming a priority nursing diagnosis

    twentytenRN replied to ron3000's topic in General Students

    I think you need to start by breaking apart your patient's diagnosis of Graves disease and understanding how it manifests within the body (pathophysiology) and complications of the disease. Then you...

  16. E-mailing Recruiters

    twentytenRN replied to mindaay's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From what I have been told, if you're listing it for academia, yes, the degree goes before the RN, because you're right, they can revoke your license, but not your degree (well, they could, but let's...

  17. My first interview...feedback please!!!

    twentytenRN replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmm... I think all you can do is "hurry up and wait." Tough, but not easy to say what they're thinking. No experience with criminal histories so I can't help you there, but I wish you the best. I...

  18. Interview Question!!!

    twentytenRN replied to redskngolf's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Employers rarely go through the troubles of doing reference checks and background checks unless they're going to hire you. Unless you know that you have something on your references/background that...

  19. Unable to relocate

    twentytenRN replied to D1914's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not sure. Probably lots of reasons. Families, childcare issues, spouse/partner's jobs, mortgages, kids, schools, money, etc... The reasons are highly individual and for some, it's just not a...

  20. Are new grads contributing to the nursing job shortage?

    twentytenRN replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    elkpark has hit the nail on the head. It is simply a very costly investment for hospitals to make in hiring new grads. The economy has increased their costs in many ways. Just a few: supplies (lots...

  21. Question-I'm confused

    twentytenRN replied to Tigers09's topic in General Nursing

    I would also second the suggestion that you talk with an academic advisor. TWU has stringent requirements to be admitted to their program and you don't want to "miss the boat." Good

    Do you really enjoy the area of nursing that you're in? Maybe a different specialty would interest you

  23. Finding a mentor?

    twentytenRN replied to JenniferSews's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I assume you're a new grad and this is your first job? If you've only worked 4 days I will also assume that you just started there. Did you not get put with a preceptor for a few weeks to help you...

  25. Small Help needed with Assessment!!!!

    twentytenRN replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Nursing

    You mainly rely on visual inspection, just looking at it you can see if the area has edema or not. You can and need to palpate the lower extremities for pitting edema near the ankles. Patients can...
