    A spouse that just doesn't get it.

    SoldierNurse22 replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. That sucks. I'd be frustrated too, OP. Have you ever asked him to help you study? He may gain a new appreciation for what you're doing if he sees what you're up against. If he declines because...

    How to help with ratios

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Wheels28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I completely agree with the sentiment of your post, I strongly disagree with the bolded portion above. Until they replace me with a robot, I am not just a nurse--I'm another human being. And I...

    military service with a history of asthma

    SoldierNurse22 replied to aghhggh's topic in Government, Military

    I went into the service with a history of asthma after my 13th birthday. It was just a few months after I turned 13 that I was treated for my final asthma attack, which of course qualified as "adult"...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...all right, back to grades. Anything I say here will be moderated immediately. I can enjoy effortless vindication as much as the next guy... Bottom line, grades are not always an accurate...

    This is an online forum. Your diction, writing style, grammar and content are the only avenue that people have to form opinions of you. If you choose to disregard standardized rules for any of the...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This thread could be construed as misleading due to a number of reasons. First is that one could walk away correlating grades with material comprehension and superior nursing practice, when in fact...

    Getting the hang of IVs...

    SoldierNurse22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got spoiled. In my first job as a nurse, I worked an oncology unit at a massive medical center in DC. Our patients, frequent flyers for treatment and follow-up therapy, almost exclusively had...

    On Call SANE 24/7

    SoldierNurse22 replied to whealer's topic in Forensic

    As a SANE, you may work regular shifts at your place of employment just like any other floor nurse. For instance, a SANE could work the regular three 12 hour shifts per week in their ER, but then be...

    On Call SANE 24/7

    SoldierNurse22 replied to whealer's topic in Forensic

    You could be at home when paged if you work at a 24 hour facility...I don't really know of many clinics who use SANEs. Most clinics that would handle that kind of issue would probably refer a person...

    CNTP Army Question

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ncox1's topic in Government, Military

    Hey LT, CNTP has changed a bit since I graduated a few years ago, but the basic layout (for me) was this: You will have a CNTP leader. S/he will lead discussions, guide group trips, etc. Our CNTP...

    On Call SANE 24/7

    SoldierNurse22 replied to whealer's topic in Forensic

    Usually, SANEs work at local ERs or urgent care centers. At clinics, I understand that they are on call during clinic hours. At ERs, they are on call 24/7. You respond to the facility at which you...

    Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Right...I get that you guys do ABGs and that sort of thing as well, but that's at least related to RT. PICC line insertion...not so much. I don't mean to imply that you guys aren't holistic, that you...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to durantetodalanoche's topic in General Nursing

    It's a sorry, redundant excuse for a word, and I shan't be caught using it, irregardless of the circumstances. PS: the spell checker just flagged "irregardless" as not being a word and is trying to...

    Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I guess I don't understand why you'd pick respiratory to do a vascular procedure. It's not so much that they can't do it, but anyone can learn a skill. It's more about keeping the skill sets within...

    "Deployments not associated with increased suicide risk"

    SoldierNurse22 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Government, Military

    Wow...just wow. I cannot believe that anyone would publish an article--especially nowadays--saying that deployments don't increase a person's risk for suicide. The Army has seen such a huge increase...

    Bad reviews vs NO reviews (ratemyprofessor)

    SoldierNurse22 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you have two choices: A. Pick the prof with bad ratings and know what you're signing up for. B. Pick the prof with no ratings and go find out. Choice B is probably your best

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    Makes more sense now, but still sad. And scary--to think that a pre-nsg student doesn't think s/he needs to be as intelligent as the physician s/he's working
