  1. The Dark Days of Nursing

    Mukfay replied to MedicalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You may be right about Mick Jagger, but don't forget the unfortunate statistics about diabetes rates, heart disease rates, etc. Living longer doesn't necessarily mean living healthier, or without the...

  2. The Dark Days of Nursing

    Mukfay replied to MedicalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention the still unanswered question about where the money will come from (and will some of it come from a reduction in nurse compensation

  3. The Dark Days of Nursing

    Mukfay replied to MedicalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear that Hoozdo. It's kind of interesting... Recently I've taken a lot of criticism for taking my IRA out and investing it personally, but I'm with you. I don't trust the retirement...

    Mukfay replied to MedicalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    They are saying the demand will increase as the baby boomer nurses retire again and the baby boomer population begins to use the health care system more. Do you believe

  5. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    Mukfay replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there's a lot of truth on both sides here. Ruby, your original post sounded like you don't really think that bullying happens to nice, professional people at all. Later you seemed to...

  6. feeling so stupid....

    Mukfay replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on your preceptor, I wouldn't try to 'turn the tables.' I would ask her for a moment, and tell her clearly, directly, and completely what your concerns are just as you've told us. I would...

    Mukfay posted a topic in General Nursing

  8. Advice on Career Change

    Mukfay replied to red2003xlt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 38 and going into nursing. I've worked as a teach, a process engineer, and an equipment tech. I highly recommend it. I would say your reasons are sound (assuming you can take criticism as well...

  9. management of pre/eclampsia with magnesium sulphate.

    Mukfay replied to bluefabian's topic in Emergency

    I think I know, but I'm a student, and I wouldn't want to make a mistake with a drug like this one. Can you contact the pharmacist or the manufacturer? Regards,

  10. CRNA or NP?

    Mukfay replied to heavensent88_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Is this story inaccurate then?

  11. CRNA or NP?

    Mukfay replied to heavensent88_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would you be more interested in caring for people who are sedated for surgery, or would you rather be a general practitioner or specialist of some kind? I would say that about sums it up. CRNA's...

  12. I NEED help!

    Mukfay replied to LMSW's topic in General Students

    Is the instructor willing to explain what it is missing, and what the instructor would like to see? This kind of guidance is what helped me improve my careplans. I've noticed that expectations vary...

  13. Is it possible to arrange shadowing a nurse...

    Mukfay replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    You might be able to do it through a volunteer program. I know it would probably take more time than you want to spend for just a couple of shifts, but it would address the HIPAA concern, and you...

  14. Trends in CRNA Compensations in Future

    Mukfay replied to Manurse715's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  15. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    Mukfay replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I haven't had time to read the bill, but based on what I've heard, I agree with much of your analysis. It wouldn't be the first time they've passed something without thinking it through. To be...

  16. Moving to New Mexico

    Mukfay replied to unlvguy's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that the Taylor Ranch area of Albuquerque is nice. There is a really nice park complex next to the library. Be careful where you buy in Rio Rancho. We purchased an AmRep home there, and...

  17. Instructor reamed me even though nurse said I did right thing..what do you think?

    Mukfay replied to Angels_wearScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I'd agree with caliotter3 about this. It's clear that counting respirations would not have helped your patient much in comparison to reporting the distress. It's so hard to find the will to avoid...

  18. Shopping online

    Mukfay replied to Bormio's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a 10-pack of penlights on ebay for around 6 bucks. Be careful when you get your books online. I ordered an expensive book, and later found out that my school bookstore was packaging software...

  20. Health Care Reform bill jeopardizing the future of nursing?

    Mukfay replied to AVMadd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is so true. So even if we don't ration healthcare, this system will ration healthcare automatically as unscrupulous providers (or those who just want to make a decent living) will find ways to...

  21. Need help paying for nursing school!!!

    Mukfay replied to MaryW05's topic in General Nursing

    I would try prosper.com. You advertise your need, and regular people who want to invest their money in people offer a loan. Be careful with your personal information though. You could also try...

  22. math phobia

    Mukfay replied to wengreen's topic in General Nursing

    I would try the Schaum's Outline to support whatever you decide to do. They make them for every subject, and they have fully worked-out problems with examples. Regards,

  23. Overwhelmed Student

    Mukfay replied to NursingStudentStephy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in my third semester, and my skills concern me more than anything. Reading your post helped me with my own concerns. It occurred to me as I was reading your post that if we weren't...

    Mukfay replied to ziggles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not so sure about T or C. I checked out the website for the main hospital down there, but they didn't have postings for RNs. There is one LPN position posted right now...
