    Evidence-Based Practice...your thoughts

    ThePrincessBride posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you think of this move toward Evidence-Based Practice in nursing? Has your place of worked pushed you to integrate EBP into your patient care? It is a hot topic and my school is really...

    "Get out of here... go do some 'doctor' stuff..."

    ThePrincessBride replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Emergency

    A doctor cleaning up a code brown is a rare sight in nature indeed, rarer than seeing the stars in the sky align.

    Commute

    ThePrincessBride replied to ERRN324's topic in General Nursing

    Three hours? Yikes! Is there anyway you could relocate to be closer? I cringe over the thought of an hour commute, but three hours? Doesn't seem safe. Plus, imagine all that money gas and car repair...

    Don't go into nursing school if_____

    ThePrincessBride replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    Disagree. Atheists can and do make great nurses and religion and work should be kept separate

    Prejudice in Nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to registerednurse3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, so because you don't see it, it doesn't happen, right? You would be in serious denial if you believe that white privilege doesn't exist. I've got news for you: it does. Now whether it is at...

    PCA and Nurse Aide, what's the difference

    ThePrincessBride replied to ConstantLearner2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a PCA, and to be honest, the only thing different from a CNA and a PCA, from my understanding, is certification. I don't have a certificate, but I am in nursing school which "counted" towards my...

    I've Been A Nurse For 5 Years & Still.....

    ThePrincessBride replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I could see making that kind of money with those hours as a new grad NP, but I suspect that most of those NPs have extensive bed side

    Am I Too Old?

    Nursing Is A Business: Get Used To It!

    ThePrincessBride replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for everyone, but the majority of nursing students I have come across are very aware of how difficult the job market is right now for new grads especially. However... It isn't as...

    So done with underwhelming clinical experiences

    ThePrincessBride replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    That just seems insane to me. I've started foleys and IVs, performed numerous venipunctures and sterile technique. On top of that, everyone in my clinical group got the chance to work with a vented...

    Too much???

    I just took med-surg 2. I think your critical care class could only help

    Too much???

    ThePrincessBride replied to Mandy0728's topic in General Students

    I can't say for sure if that is "too much" as that is for you to decide. I WILL say this: four credit hours in nursing school rarely amounts to "just" 4 credit hours worth of work (or 12 hours if you...

    Nursing student theft

    ThePrincessBride replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I would demand the stethoscope back. Stat. As for filing charges against her, I wouldn't waste my precious time on that. The school and police already have enough evidence on her, they don't need to...

    Is this type of schedule common?

    ThePrincessBride replied to bella201's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a nurse who would work eighty hours one week and had the next week off for child custody reasons. I don't think she was a bedside nurse. However, I do know that CRNAs sometimes work this...

    ThePrincessBride replied to cee cee g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you had done your research, you would realize that the vast majority of people pass the nclex the first or second time and that these serial nclex takers are in a very small minority. Why you feel...

    You haven't hit a nerve with me, dear. I'm already in nursing school and have taken NCLEX-styled questions and have over two years of experience in healthcare. Focus on getting into nursing school and...

    ThePrincessBride replied to cee cee g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some advice: worry about getting into nursing school before thinking about the nclex. I don't mesn it to be harsh. Focus on acing your nursing classes and soaring in your clinicals so that when it IS...
