Hi rncountry. Is this greed vs. greed or greed vs. need? The AHA and AMA deserve each other. Instead of complaining about LOS, why don't they complain about the need to beef up nursing services and...
Ditto to most of the previous posts, and I also have a problem with the doctors seeing patients without washing their hands before and after. I wasn't aware that they were anointed as germ
Hi micknmel. Uh, you may want to bring your antiemetics to school as back up if they don't make you drowsy. You can consider bringing a can of lysol, but you have to be tactful about when and where...
Oh well, so much for history not repeating itself! rncountry, the last few sentences in your post have particular relevance with me, because I have had many friends and acquaintances in the hospital...
Hi sharann. I think that most people who don't live as hermits either within their home, neighborhood, or town feel awkward or intimidated about something outside of their comfort zone. I know I do....
Hi colleagues. I agree with previous posters who write that the BSN as entry level for nursing practice should not deteriorate into a debate about who's better. As a diploma nurse with a BSN (note I...

Hi again nursedude. Could you fill in another crack or gap for me? I'm not very knowledgeable about htmls. I note that you very easily know how to record these in your email. I wonder if there is more...

Hi nursedude. Curious. What is it that sticks in your crawl or crack, if you will, about the government? Do you have any fears about total privatization? If so, what, if not, why not? Do you think it...

Hi CEN35. I think you've received good advice from the previous posters. I agree that making a priority list for you is foremost then making a priority list for your employees with their input....
Hi angelnurse. We nurses can be brutal towards one another in the workplace. I agree with previous posters on some of the reasons for this. I also agree that you should take things in stride and try...
Thanks for the article Natalie. What is not clear to me is whether the CNA had received proper training on how to serve and prepare disabled residents meals for safe consumption or if the aide was in...

Hi all. Thanks for bringing to our attention the various state board policies for patient abandonment. Question. Would the board policies for patient abandonment cover nursing strikes? Are all nurses...
Hi JMP. Congratulation on your achievements and welcome to nursing. Before you come to the states for work, make sure you thoroughly research a potential employer in the U.S before saying yes to make...
Hi. Wasn't this article from the Senate hearing that took place recently? It just simply validates what I'm now coming to grips with. Nursing has been on a course for an ice boulder a long time....
Hi nursedude. Appreciate your response. You always provide food for thought and tend to generate strong responses from posters. I worked in the hospital setting when we kept patients in the hospital...

Hi. I have to agree with canoehead on this one. In addition to working with many nonsupportive coworkers as indicated under another of your topics, your patient care environment is ridiculous and in...
Hi crnasomeday. I agree with the previous posters. I do feel, though, that your example illustrates: 1. The need for proper staffing in response to patient acuity and numbers. 2. The need for more...
Hi Hollykate. Congratulations on your find. Congratulations especially on knowing when to quit. This is a testament to your level of job maturity and guts in not staying with an employer under any...
Hi all. As a home health nurse, I am able to eat and drink in my own personal space-my car. This is one of the pluses of home health. You can, if not overloaded with visits and paperwork, find time to...
