  1. Domestic Violence Screening

    sevensonnets replied to Nurse Mack's topic in Patient Education

    I think you need to ask your employer if that is a question normally asked at a pharmacy. I've never been asked by the pharmacist at Walgreen's giving me a flu shot if I feel safe at home. I might be...

  2. Small versus Large ICU

    sevensonnets replied to SN2432's topic in General Nursing

    Most managers are not overbearing (raising my hand here). I'd say take the smaller unit job to learn at a slower pace then you can move

  5. Is there a Stigma with a Male working in Nursing?

    sevensonnets replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    It might surprise you to know that men in nursing is not a new phenomenon. I'm entering my 42nd year of nursing and there were male nurses already working when I started out in ED, critical care,...

  6. Why do you think it is beneficial to have a second nurse available during a catheterization?

    sevensonnets replied to Rainha_portuguesa's topic in General Nursing

    I think hostility is the wrong approach to take if you want answers to your questions rather than scolding experienced nurses who might otherwise have assisted you. Nobody here has treated your...

  7. New Medical Syndrome (can I have it named after me...)

    sevensonnets replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This morning about 5 am I almost discovered a new syndrome peculiar to the slightly older crowd. Raw red eye stuffy nose syndrome or Neo Synephrine goes in the nose, not in the

  8. New Medical Syndrome (can I have it named after me...)

    sevensonnets replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    sevensonnets replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You have posted something similar to this before, and I think my advice to you then was the blank stare is your best defense against getting dragged into what could be trouble for you down the line....

  10. NEGLECT

    sevensonnets replied to Diane Greco Allen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Subee, I've wanted to say that since this was posted. You and I probably took the same nutrition class (I have been practicing nursing since 1978). It was not of course the foundation of my nursing...

  11. RNs can a CNA save an RN's hide?

    sevensonnets replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

  13. Infection Prevention Misinformation

    sevensonnets replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, at last we know what's been spreading this thing. It really is droplet-borne. I've been on the phone this afternoon talking to a couple of people who are or are planning to be sick and won't be...

  14. For Today 9//5/2020

    sevensonnets replied to amoLucia's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I certainly hope it's permissible to add bacon to the cheese pizza because plain old cheese doesn't do it for

  15. ICU orientation

    My CVICU/OH orientees attend critical care course 1-2 days a week to learn the CC basics including rhythms and drips (with an exam at the end), which runs concurrently with

  16. Hey! Southpaws!

    sevensonnets replied to amoLucia's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    We didn't have those when Little Sonnet was struggling to learn to cut. We had great big ones. He'd say "Mommy, you hold the paper" and try to use both

  17. Celebrate the Day - 8/15/2020

    I'm going to make a lemon meringue pie then start making plans for National Bowtie Day in 13 days. It happens to fall on the birthday of my favorite

  18. Enjoy the Day

    sevensonnets replied to amoLucia's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I'd love to celebrate National Creamsicle Day but I don't have one. Why didn't I know about this

  19. Hey! Southpaws!

    sevensonnets replied to amoLucia's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    My son went to loose leaf paper, got way off to the left and turned his hand upside down like some kind of a contortionist. I don't think he's ever learned to cut with

  20. Old patients unsuccessfully clinging to independent living

    sevensonnets replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  22. People with asthma in England fear being harassed and denied services for not being able to wear a mask

    sevensonnets replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP, I'm not known for lengthy diatribes on this site, as I tend to be a very succinct person, and I'm not going to deviate from that now. To equate refusing to wear a mask to protect others for the...

  23. Can someone explain to me how INR, blood clotting and Warfarin works?

    sevensonnets replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You nailed that, KatieMI. Textbook perfect. Those are basic concepts I had to know six ways to Sunday before I sat for boards 42 years ago. I worry about the future of nursing. New nurses today are...

    sevensonnets replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've considering raising llamas for the antibodies but there's no room for them on my front porch. Scared they might eat my veggies. I think I'll wait for this one
