    Wow...what a combination of patients your floor has! Peds, Tele, Onc...yikes! That's a challenge! And yeah, absolutely never, ever use the "Q"

    Patient Death Experience.

    OCNRN63 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    The title of your thread is very different from the content of the OP. And it's not "if" I have cancer; I do have cancer, something many people, including some of the mods here, know quite

    OCNRN63 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    I have cancer. A bad kind. (As if there's a "good cancer," but some do have a better prognosis.) Sometimes I read things on this site that are disturbing to me, as someone who will most likely not...

    OCNRN63 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in hospice for several years and witnessed many deaths. For me, they're like something someone tells me in confidence. We would talk about deaths in our staff team meetings, but outside of...

    OCNRN63 replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me about it. I hear all the time here about how inferior my education was because I went to diploma program. Had one person here a long time ago tell me I wasn't a nurse. IMO, the best nursing...

    Have you tried talking to some of your peers on medical assisting sites to see how they would handle the situation? It may be interesting to get their take on

    Would you have felt the same way if Sarah Palin had become the first female VP? If McCain had won and then been too ill to govern or even died in office, would she have been qualified to become...

    I know having had three surgeries in the last year just how disgusting chlorhexidine is. My skin hated it; it would get fiery red and break open, and that was just after one shower pre-op with the...

    What nurses do?

    OCNRN63 replied to Thoma Spiri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The short answer is you have to conform to the hospital's policies and whatever regulatory body governs your nursing practice. What we do here may be vastly different from what nurses in your country...

    I do really like sticking people; esp. if it's a hard stick or difficult port. I don't get to do it anymore now that I'm no longer working, and I miss

    OCNRN63 replied to gibsongirl's topic in Home Health

    My best friend in nursing school turned into a crazy cat lady...and before anyone jumps on me, I love cats. Just not 30+ of them in one house. The last time I visited her (she had moved away), the...

    Are too many certifications a bad thing?

    OCNRN63 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Reread your post and ask yourself again, "Does this sound like someone who is arrogant?" I may have been one of the first to say it, but not you've had multiple people tell you that you come across...

    You're not doing a very good job of it. Your posts remind me of the country song that goes, "Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way..." Perhaps in interviews managers have...

    Wait a minute...if you're 53y, how did you graduate from college in 1971? You would have only been 9y! Your bio says you've been working for 32y, so how can you have been working 44y? Is my math...

    Did you check into what the average nurses' income is in your area? Will you be able to make enough money to handle that amount of debt? Will you be able to have funds for emergencies like...
