Hi Everyone Brigham nurse here, I thought I'd comment on a few things. Brigham is one of the best paying facilities in Boston. In my opinion, the decision to strike had nothing to do with pay. I think it centered on a few points: 1) removing cha...

per wikepedia: the arm of the condemned is swabbed with alcohol before the needle is inserted. along with its antiseptic use, the alcohol also causes the blood vessels to rise to the skin's surface, making it easier to insert the needle. the needles...

Hi Everyone, In Boston, in a union hospital (under our current contract), new grads. start at $26/hr Remember though, it is EXPENSIVE to live in the Boston area (where studio apartments start around $1,200/month) As part of our benefits though , our ...

Hi Pam Housing costs here are going to scare you. :chair: A lot of people live in N.H. and commute to northern Ma. or Boston They don't call it 'TAX - achusetts' for nothing! Long commutes are the norm here, with the average being 50 min. one way. ...

ok, i have to comment on the turn the discussion is taking... do you see what's happening here? initially, the discussion focused on what a great thing organ/tissue donation is, how it saves lives yadda, yadda, yadda. now, it's turned to making judge...

i think as nurses, we are, in general optimists and tend to view issues like this as black or white, not realizing - or wanting to acknowledge - all the shades of gray and the 'dark side' of this issue... while directed donation (among family/friends...

"...I LIKE the smell of perfumes..." One more comment: So...if everyone liked the smell of your perfume Jerico, they'd only be that particular brand on the market, right? I agree, sensitivity is relative, but so is the amount of perfume to wear...the...

GR8RNPJT, could she have singled you and the other woman out because you and the other woman wore scents that bothered her and everyone else in the office that wore perfume/colonge that didn't bother her? My experience is that not ALL perfume/cologne...

gr8rnpjt ~ not being confrontational here, but I have to ask you this: Even though you were a perfume that you think works well with your body chemistry and that you have received a number of compliments on, why wouldn't you refrain from wearing it ...

my 2 cents: i suffer from migraines and certain scents can be the trigger. i may even like the scent, but there's something in it that causes the reaction; my stomach rolls, my head explodes. we have a 'no scent' policy at my hospital, but it's nearl...

hi missboo, good luck on your paper! i thought i'd give you my 2 cents worth, i fully expect to be flamed regarding this viewpoint, but, i thought i'd share it anyway.... just because we have technology doesn't mean we should always use it. for examp...

Hi Kelly911, I have some practical suggestions, some tried and true, some just ideas: At a team meeting, or call a meeting, attach a piece of paper to everyone's back, give everyone the same color crayon and spend 10 min. having people writing som...

First, let me say that my heart goes out to you nursejoey. What a terrible thing to happen while you're trying to support your husband, go to school and raise a family! Second, there are some valid reasons that patients get 'fired' that have been pr...

"how should we raise breastfeeding rates?" I'm not sure that we should raise breastfeeding rates. I think most people are perfectly happy with the decisions they've made. I don't want government, or a nurse, dictating how I feed my child. Why must we...

There are a lot of 'natural' things that people should be doing... eating more fruits/vegetables, exercising more etc. Smoking isn't natural, but yet lots of people do it. Processed flour, refined sugar, packaged/prepared foods aren't natural either....

Hi All I'm hoping you can help. My father was admitted yesterday with lower GI bleeding of unknown origin. Does anyone have any nursing care plans/care maps for this diagnosis? I work in cardiac surgery, so I'm a little out of my realm, but, I was a...

First of all, preparation is key! The interviewer is looking to see if you can come up with an answer. To gauge how well you think 'on your feet', they ask obscure, silly questions. Second, they don't really expect you to say something like "I'm diso...

I think all the specific examples of stress given previously, boil down to one thing...nurses trying to be all things to all people. The type of person that goes into nursing is, imo, a 'helper' type. They like to help people; patients, families, sta...

The only way to convert a pdf. file to a powerpoint slideshow is to manually copy the information. PDF is designed to be uneditable/imported into other programs. Sorry

Yup, mostly. I get 'Action Buttons', 'Preset Animation' and 'Custom Animation' and 'Slide Transition' So, Original Poster.......what version are you using??? Did any of this help?

Wow, I haven't even seen PP2003 Nope, no 'slide design'. The closest I have is the vertical margin (that I can collapse into the left side) and the 'Slide Show' button on the toolbar (this is where I do all the 'cool' stuff) I guess it's important to...

Hukilau: I'm using PP 2000, I don't have a 'Task View' or 'Task Pane'. Is that in PP 98 ? In PP 2000, there is a split screen that you can click and drag to the left margin if you don't want to see it....
