    OCNRN63 replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    Student nurses with disabilities

    OCNRN63 replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It cracks me up when people refer to home care as if it were nothing more than baby sitting. I worked home care for several years; it was hard work, and the patients were sick. The stress of having...

    Pledge of Allegiance?

    OCNRN63 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    How ironic...to tell kids (or make them feel) they can't choose to abstain from reciting the Pledge because veterans fought for their freedom. Suppose saying the Pledge of Allegiance conflicts with a...

    Nurse Bullying

    OCNRN63 replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ^^THIS^^ And I'll be flamed too. Also, if you go into a job anticipating that you are going to be bullied, you are going to find situations that seem like bullying. Instead of approaching a new job...

    Anyone working nurse labeled a Non-Responder with vaccines?

    OCNRN63 replied to jengix29's topic in General Nursing

    I don't respond to the MMR. My one employer had me get the vac. twice because they just didn't believe the results. When they saw a negative titer a second time, they stopped questioning

    My patient committed suicide last night

    OCNRN63 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying suicides/attempted suicides give people a rush. It's just that, like patients who code, some won't make it, no matter how hard we try t help them. I had a psych patient who died during...

    OCNRN63 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    My first nursing job was in an inpatient psych unit. I still remember one patient who committed suicide on the unit. Suicides for psych nurses are the same as codes that go badly for ICU nurses, IMO....

    Dosage answer on nclex 0.1 or .1?

    It may work for you; for other people taking the test, not so much. I have a feeling the proctor will tell you to be quiet so that others in the room can concentrate. (Not sure I want to know what...
