  1. What is good example of integrity in nursing?

    Murse406 replied to suejax's topic in General Nursing

    When a nurse realizes a med error, he/she notifies the physician immediately and later follows up with a report to management prior to being prompted because they have to by

  2. Nurses don't save lives....WHAT?

    Murse406 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    How many lives have I saved? Well...I was carving notches into the wood of my desk for each one. Unfortunately, there were a couple of times when I forgot to.... so let's see.....On second thought,...

    Murse406 replied to lpnwkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  4. How soon we forget.

    Murse406 replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's the deal....The sky is always falling when your party is not in power, such as when this bill was crafted. Is it the best bill? NO but the reason for that is all of the opposition and haggling...

  5. Did I make the right choice by going for my RN

    Murse406 replied to Wolfless's topic in General Nursing

    You need ICU experience to be a CRNA. All of the ICU's I have worked in/done clinicals in require total care. A lot of ICU patients are on stool softeners. My point is to get where you want to be will...

  7. How do the male nurses feel about perineal care?

    Murse406 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    First of all you have asked two different questions. How do male nurses "feel" and then you asked IF we actually do it. The answer to the second is yes we do clean the perineum...as far as how we...

  8. Massive RN Layoffs

    Murse406 replied to Obamacare's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wait a second.....are some of you implying that Glen Beck may not have his "facts" straight? How can you turn a deaf ear to a man willing to show his sincerity by crying on his show that is on the...

  9. Cop to Nurse resume questions

    Murse406 replied to bds165's topic in General Nursing

    As a former civilian LEO (and soldier medic) to RN (ER) I can tell you what people have already posted is spot on. For starters you have a track record of being a "professional." A real big point is...

  11. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    Murse406 replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    @ badphish I couldn't have said it better myself. I think that is what I had been trying to say all

  12. Do nurses learn how to read EKG's and do phlebotomy?

    Murse406 replied to TamTammers's topic in General Nursing

    If you are focused on getting a tech job right now, do the phlebotomy class. As a tech, you won't be allowed to interpret EKG's anyway as assessment is a nursing function. You more than likely will be...

  13. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    Murse406 replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    Murse406 replied to sh1901's topic in General Nursing

    Having it before I graduated definitely helped me get interviews/offers in a tough market. just an extra note: The above is true but although it has been more difficult lately due to the economy, my...

  15. Back to Traditional Nursing Uniforms?

    Murse406 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    That picture that people have of the traditional nursed is objectifying. If Administrations want traditional looking nurses I guess they better get rid of us dudes. I'd like to see what their patient...

  16. Air in the line!!! What am I doing wrong?

    Murse406 replied to juliannaUT's topic in General Nursing

    You could "burp" the bag. First spike the bag, then un-spike the bag. Squeeze the bag while holding the spike port up as if forcing the fluid to squirt out the port (but don't squeeze hard enough to...

  17. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    Murse406 replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    SanDiegoNavyDoc, With all due respect sir, this is a nursing forum so what is your point? If you wanted us all to know that your prior experience made you better, mission accomplished. I hope that is...

  19. Did you got placed into your preferred field of nursing right after graduation?

    Murse406 replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope the economy improves by the time you graduate as many anticipate it will (fingers crossed). If that occurs, opportunities will be there. However, I want to add, keep an open mind. I wanted to...

  20. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    Murse406 replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    Sailor, Let me qualify first. Army medic (NCO) now civilian ED RN. Military roles are completely different from the civilian world. One of the biggest things about being an RN is knowing your legal...
