  1. too little to be a nurse?

    lady_jezebel replied to prinzessdy's topic in General Nursing

    That's just ridiculous, isn't it? Could it be that you also come off as being insecure with the patients, and that contributes to them viewing you as "young"? It's really all in the attitude. And as...

  4. Question about School "prestige"

    lady_jezebel replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't really exist in nursing. I had one professor from Yale who was kindof an arrogant windbag, but I've never met a well-educated bedside nurse who puts on airs or any such garbage. I have...

  5. Question about School "prestige"

    lady_jezebel replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a very good undergrad school for the BSN. It has definitely been an advantage for me with employment, and I feel confident that I will get accepted in any graduate nursing program I choose....

  7. Would you go for your PA?

    lady_jezebel replied to dorisemoore1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Additionally, we learn much of the same material in nursing school (undergrad) that a PA focuses on at the master's level. I think nurses have a real

  8. Would you go for your PA?

    lady_jezebel replied to dorisemoore1's topic in Men in Nursing

    \I think it depends on where you do the schooling. I'm looking at a UW NP program that has many courses required through the medical school. It's heavy on the biology/science. But the school where I...

    lady_jezebel replied to dorisemoore1's topic in Men in Nursing

  10. Nurses who Hunt and Fish

    lady_jezebel replied to MacERRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey Joe, my sister-in-law lives outside of Iowa City, and she's decided to pursue nursing at UofI. What are your opinions of the nursing school, the trauma center, and nursing in general in that town?...

  11. whats your motivation?

    lady_jezebel replied to ophelia's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh, it is heartbreaking to read your post. How tragic. That must be the hardest thing a person (and mother) can go through. You will be of great service to other parents who go through this same thing...

  14. New Grad Decisions MICU vs NICU?

    lady_jezebel replied to KatrinaPM's topic in MICU, SICU

    I get the impression that you would rather work in the NICU. If so, why not go with your first choice??? I WOULD rely on your intuition here. Choosing either will benefit you professionally, so why no...

  15. Would you tell the family?

    lady_jezebel replied to MedicalZebra's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It's very paternalistic for the MD to decide to withhold info in order to protect the family. I don't think this is

    You pull

  17. RN's removing surgical drains

    lady_jezebel replied to conniejean's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This only PROTECTS the RN license! It's legal documentation. It's not meant to belittle

  18. RN's removing surgical drains

    lady_jezebel replied to conniejean's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Though RNs know HOW to remove them, a particular hospital or floor may not support it in practice. My hospital will not allow RNs to remove drains, though we do remove staples. Reason we can't remove...

  19. What is your least favorite kind of med-surg patient?

    lady_jezebel replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    1st: The pts that treat me like a waitress or personal servant. 2nd: The very obese patients that need constant help using the bedside commode. It's hard to move them, and takes a lot of time (which I...

  21. What is it about Med-Surg?

    lady_jezebel replied to Mint Julip's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I had good & bad med-surg rotations during school. Good= low RN to pt ratio, supportive management, amiable RN/MD relationships, NA help. Bad= high acuity patients with too few nurses, poor RN to...

  22. Nurses cannot take orders from MA's, what is your protocol?

    lady_jezebel replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I know you didn't mean to imply that NPs receive less/inferior schooling than PAs. Just wanted to clarify that there are some rigorous programs out there for each type of

  23. Nurses cannot take orders from MA's, what is your protocol?

    lady_jezebel replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yikes, he-- no! They have only a few weeks or months of schooling! I don't think any RN can/should legally take any type of order from an MA. That's like taking an order from an NA! And by the way,...

  24. Swaddling...arms out or in???

    lady_jezebel replied to USA987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a nurse, I work with adults... but as a mom with a 5 month old, I've found that he still likes to be swaddled with his arms in. It makes him feel secure. When his arms are out, they swing around...
