When we wrote our research papers, we were told to do some research first before picking a topic. Have you found enough articles to support this topic? I thought their were only six rights? What are...
What is the actual assignment? I would start by narrowing down the topic to something pretty specific. For example, you could write about how bar-coding for medication administration has decreased...
I went the ADN route because of cost. The ABSN programs around me cost around $40,000 and the direct entry MSN's were like $60,000. I couldn't justify going into debt that much. My ADN program has...
For some reason, my patients like to give me hugs. I do not initiate the hugs but will hug back when hugged. Does accepting a patient hug cross a line? I would like to remain professional and worry...
handyrn and Nascar nurse, Thanks for showing the other side of the hugging story. I'll be cautious with children and old coots. Hugs to you Nascar nurse, sounds like a really crappy situation at...

I considered writing my research paper (for school) on "the best method to check for NG tube placement" but went with a different topic. During my initial research of this topic though, I found the...
Very, very true. When nurses are short staffed, nurses have to pick up the slack AND when non-nurses are short staffed, nurses have to pick up the slack for this too. This is the impression I'm...
I think this is ridiculous. I don't think you should have to do this. However, I don't know if dietary would have the time to do this either because they like to short staff in that department too....
New Jersey and Illinois are required to publicly disclose their nurse-to-patient ratios. Illinois is only required to offer up this information on request though, (White, 2006). I think all hospitals...
