    Depressed self-referral to ED

    OCNRN63 replied to jana82's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!! That was ten thousand shades of inappropriate! You don't just strip someone and strap them down because they state they feel depressed. I worked in psych for several years. We...

    5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    OCNRN63 replied to anh06005's topic in Nursing News

    I haven't read all the responses yet, but the one thing that bothers me is this "conversation." I worked in peds. for several years, and I never came across a child who was able to have that type of...

    Cleaning up a dead person in a hospice setting

    OCNRN63 replied to PhoebotNiChungngay's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I never put a patient in a body bag when I worked in hospice. I just cleaned them up, made them look presentable, and made sure there were blue pads/chux under him/her in case of leakage. The people...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    OCNRN63 replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    This reminds me of something that happened to me many years ago. I was flying home from overseas. We were midway over the Atlantic when a flight attendant came on the speaker system and said there...

    Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    OCNRN63 replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    It's not that no one here has credentials; unfortunately, we get people here who pretend to be nurses for any number of reasons. On an anonymous board, people can try to be whatever they want. As...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    OCNRN63 replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to take a guess that it was a reference to the riots we had this past summer, though they were racially motivated. Maybe he means that if everyone could just light a doob, the world would...

    Nurses - Share your story for a $500 Giveaway

    They do strike nursing, so for me it would be unethical. I'm suspicious of a company like this behind a contest; maybe I'm a

    The same Dr. Oz who, several years ago, got into trouble for having scantily clad women dressed as "nurses" prancing around on his show. He had to do a little fast talking for that one. Dr. Oz and...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    OCNRN63 replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    That's irrelevant. Federal law trumps state law, so if something is deemed illegal by the fed., it doesn't matter if it's legal in the state. Right now, the fed is choosing to turn a blind eye to the...

    The Nurse on the Other Side

    OCNRN63 replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    Cricket, I understand how you feel. I got sick in 2011, and by 2012 was permanently disabled. I miss it. My former co-workers have been so supportive, but it's not the same. Even worse, I had just...

    How many questions did you pass the NCLEX with?

    OCNRN63 replied to shanell85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Who cares? FTR, I took NCLEX-RN when it was called state boards, and you had to take the test over a two day period. I think there were about 800-1000 questions. I didn't count. You had to answer...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    One night when I was working in the ED, I went to walk into the med room, when all of a sudden this spider bungee-cord dropped right down in front of my face. I started screaming, and the ED doc came...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    An MA is not part of the nursing profession. They are educated under the medical model, not nursing. A CNA, while very helpful to nurses, is not part of the nursing

    CNAs and MAs are not nurses and not part of the nursing profession. Are they important to patient care? Sure. But they are not part of the nursing
