  2. Freedom Tower............

    Mandarella replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

  5. NY Oncology Nurses

    Mandarella replied to Mandarella's topic in Oncology

    I just looked at the site. I may just have my BSN before I can apply for OCN cert. I have to have 1,000 hours and a few years experience in ONC. That's fine, I'm in no hurry, just excited and was...

    Mandarella replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let me start by saying this...I strongly believed in a woman's right to choose before I had children. Now I feel slightly different... but could in no way condemn someone for their actions. I don't...

    Mandarella replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

    Mandarella replied to maddiecat's topic in General Nursing

  10. The fingernail police!!

    Mandarella replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about losing the nails. It was a big debate in our hospital 4 years ago...everyone's over it. It really is horrifying to see what grows from underneath nails...long or fake. Scrubing...

  13. What do they teach you about death & dying in nursing school?

    Mandarella replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in General Nursing

    Mandarella replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    A guy 20years old came into the ER, he and his girlfriend were "playing" around on the couch...he rolled off and fell straight down on his "member." Apparently he was a little excited to be play...

  16. Therapy dogs....what do you think?

    Mandarella replied to LeashRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is awesome that you plan to do this with your animals. I am all for it if the patients do not have an immune condition such as neutrapenia. Therapy animals are very beneficial. It is so good...

  18. How to get away from a patient

    Mandarella replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    OK ,that's insane, insulting, giving a green light to everyone to "class" employees. How can anyone work somewhere that doesn't let fellow employees work in the same area? I would feel like I was...

  23. Respiratory therapy vs. nursing

    Mandarella replied to NiobiusSwan's topic in Nursing Career

    I actually went into the RT program but decided it wasn't for me. Clinical concepts and experience was never a problem but I never really felt "at home" while doing it. For me seeing up to 40...

    Mandarella replied to krissypoo's topic in Nursing Career
