    Least Favorite Things Patients Say

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

    "The service here was very good." I know that to some degree, nursing is a service profession, but that's something you say about a restaurant. Although, come to think of it, nurses are turning into...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    Patients do indeed care about who is providing their care. I'm not sure how you can state that "nursing today sucks" when you have not had to bear the responsibility that a licensed professional...

    New grad (RN)-desperate for advice

    OCNRN63 replied to doxielover304's topic in General Nursing

    You could leave the house and get hit by a truck. Anything could happen...that's what life is all about. The longer you wait, the rustier your skills are going to get. You may have trouble getting...

    Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    OCNRN63 replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's unreasonable. Why should you bend over backward for someone who doesn't want to do the

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    It really ticks me off when a "nurse" does something serious that makes the news. Later, it's found out that the "nurse" is an MA/CNA. Of course, news stations never bother to make the correction....

    Nurses who've had LASIK

    OCNRN63 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have LASIK, but I had the precursor to it, radial keratotomy. After surgery, I had 20/10 vision for nearly 30 years. Surgical correction of nearsightedness was terrific for me; no glasses or...

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    OCNRN63 replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in OP oncology, and puking was rare. We've gotten better drugs to use for premedication, and even the chemo regimens themselves are less harsh on the gi tract. Based on your question, OP, I...

    When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    OCNRN63 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    We're not happy about it (and once again, you've sexualized a mundane procedure), but we have come to accept providers of both genders. It's not like we're spreading them whenever we see a male...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    While I agree we are a team, there are many units that function without nursing assistants. Without nurses, there would be no nursing assistants, since it takes a licensed nurse to supervise the CNA....

    OCNRN63 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Oncology

    I always get that metallic taste. In fact, I get it up in my sinuses. The other day my port was being uncooperative, but all of a sudden I got this rush of metallic taste up in through my nose....

    Honestly, I think it was better when it was done in a classroom. The first time I took it in the classroom format, it was very intimidating. The second time was much better, but after that it went...

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

    It's actually what many of us are experiencing. Color coded uniforms don't help patients know who is who. It's not a Magnet requirement, either. People who aren't in the trenches often have...
