  4. Medical words that make you cringe.

    srerrn2 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    OHHH, there are two words right here besides the obvious one...sputum, which seems to gross out most nurses. I have alway hated the word purulent. It just makes me want to gag!!! Also, the word...

  5. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    srerrn2 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't want to discourage anyone from posting on this site but your answer really does not make much sense. To compare smokers/non-smokers to slaves/white people is strange. Also to compare the...

  6. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    srerrn2 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have to agree with the other responders. Try to get all that judgemental attitude out of your system BEFORE you become a nurse. Otherwise, how are you going to provide compassionate care to the 450...

  7. Do you bag your bodies naked?

    srerrn2 replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in ER's for many years and we do clean up the patient as much as we can. We then place a clean gown on the patient and a fresh sheet on them before closing the body bag. It may take a...

  8. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

    srerrn2 replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!!! Pretty judgemental of you after only 2 years as an RN. Tread lightly as Karma tends to get back at

  9. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

    srerrn2 replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can't speak for the person who originally responded to you but I was also put off by your original question. When you use a public professional forum then really you are addressing everyone...

  10. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    srerrn2 replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    A number of really good points here. My experience with study groups was positive. We had a VERY carefully chosen group of 5 students and we studied well together. We learned pretty early on not to...

  12. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    srerrn2 replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @cheyfire: i think you answered this question quite well, taking into consideration both the ethical and legal ramifications. as nurses, it is our nature to want to reach out and to help and comfort...

  13. Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

    srerrn2 replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school at 45? Heck yes!!! I started nursing school at 30(with a 7,3 and 1 year old). Best thing I ever did. Strong sense of accomplishment. Did extremely well in my classes because this was...

  14. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    srerrn2 replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of good advice here. If assaulted, by all means call the police and press charges. Assault also includes spitting. One word of caution. While it is VERY important to document the heck out of...

  15. Patients that are not allowed narcotics

    srerrn2 replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    What do you mean it isn't up to you? We are not mindless robots here simply to "follow doctors orders". As nurses, it is our responsibility to work as a team member with our docs and to communicate...

    srerrn2 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Emergency

    Not sure what part of Ohio you live in but this ER nurse in Cincy is a hell of alot more than a monkey and I believe my Docs would agree. Get a little more experience, spend some time working in a...

    srerrn2 replied to Studying24.7's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to you. You absolutely did the right thing. You advocated for your patient. Don't ever say "I am just a student". You are a part of the care team. The argument that nothing bad...

  20. Good Personalities for ER Nursing?

    srerrn2 replied to JMomBaby's topic in Emergency

    I have worked in the ER for last 11 years. Every person that walks in has the potential to be very sick. Someone comes in w/ a toothache and has undiagnosed htn of 225/170 or the nausea x 2 days,...

  21. Good Personalities for ER Nursing?

    srerrn2 replied to JMomBaby's topic in Emergency

    :redbeatheWelcome to the exciting world of nursing!!! I have been an ER nurse for over 10 years. The thing with ER nursing is you either love it or hate it. No middle ground here. I would not recomend...
