  1. And what is with the wacky interview questions?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to princess99's topic in General Nursing

    I would think twice about working for someone who would ask such odd interview questions, actually. And what kind of people have they had working there that they have to ask questions about betting on...

  2. I heard somewhere that flushing pills

    hypnotic_nurse replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    What I worry about with disposing of drugs in sharps containers is a drug seeker putting a hand in there to fish 'em

  3. Morphine Gel

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Nurse Hatchett's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I wasn't able to find the one on pressure ulcers. But I did find this one, with topical morphine (only mixed into silver sulfadiazine)... Morphine-Infused silver sulfadiazine (MISS) cream for burn...

  4. A sign???

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    The news story I read went right along with weetziebat's version (he was mad when he woke up). But he did have terminal cancer, and did die shortly

  5. Nurses Helping Nurses Quit Smoking

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I recommend hypnotherapy. I know it's worked for almost everyone I've hypnotized for smoking cessation. Plus it's non-invasive, no side effects, and doesn't have to be expensive (I charge $50, mostly...

  6. Morphine Gel

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Nurse Hatchett's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Teresa Long, MD, KUMC did some studies with morphine gel and pressure ulcers; I believe those results have been published. I was lucky enough to work with her on several studies, and the gel really...

  7. Does anyone know a good website to buy scrubs?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Talk2much555's topic in General Nursing

    I really like the pants from Mainely Scrubs. They're not cheap (unless you get them on sale) but they wear well, are definitely not itchy, fit me well, and look

  8. My daughter and her RTC

    hypnotic_nurse replied to j-mac's topic in Psychiatric

    Obviously you feel your daughter is not safe at this facility, and it sounds as though you are making arrangements to move her as soon as possible. Some patients who cut are very manipulative; this...

  9. Plasma Donation

    hypnotic_nurse replied to meandragonbrett's topic in General Students

    The only time I donated plasma, I passed out in the parking lot (one of those places that pay you), and was out enough that I lost all bladder function. That was bad enough, but no one helped me; just...

  10. I'm Back... But... I'm Thinking About Giving Up on School

    hypnotic_nurse replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do nursing school later but you won't have do-overs on your son's first year.

  11. opinions on in-services

    hypnotic_nurse replied to zuchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Make sure there are plenty of pens & paper. If you have refreshments, make at least some of them healthy (most of us don't need more donuts!). Keep it less than 30 minutes, with the preference...

  12. Neuro Checks - What do I do?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to gambitlizard's topic in Neurological

    When you check grip, give them just ONE finger to squeeze; they can't hurt you no matter how good the grip is. (probably all of you knew that, just a reminder)

  13. Dating Patients

    hypnotic_nurse replied to bobnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :rotfl:

  14. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    This only works for people who have some body to their hair. I can't even get barrettes or covered rubber bands to stay in my hair, much less a comb. Doesn't matter if I use gel or hairspray...

  15. Are all Dr.'s like this?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to hotnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been lucky in that most of the MDs I've worked with have been great, some even terrific. A few bad apples, but you find those in any walk of life. It really helps a lot, I think, if you keep...

  16. Typical day and salary for Psychiatric HH Nurse

    hypnotic_nurse replied to littlebitt's topic in Home Health

    Here in OK I was offered 45K for psych home health. Didn't take the job as vacation and benefits were minimal, and the pay was 6K lower than what I was already making...so I can't tell you what it's...

  17. Question about an ADN Program at a Community College?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to MustangMusic's topic in General Nursing

    With all you've got going for you, surely you could get a scholarship that would enable you to go to the 4 year school for about the same cost as the 2 year. I really, really liked my 4 year school...

  18. JCCC Part 2

    hypnotic_nurse replied to usmc94201's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from JCCC in 2001. I really liked it there. Good luck to both of

  19. Single in nursing school

    hypnotic_nurse replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Students

    Don't sweat it. When the time is right, you will meet THE guy. You don't want to rush things and get someone who isn't quite what you had in mind. (Take it from someone who did marry Mr. Almost Right...

  20. How well did your nursing education prepare you for your job?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to careerdejour's topic in General Nursing

    Skills and time management take practice, and you will get plenty of practice once you are working. It's the background knowledge and critical thinking that you concentrate on in nursing

  21. help needed

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Doody's topic in General Nursing

    I personally wouldn't leave my passport with anyone but a trusted friend or family member...certainly not an employer! That's MY IDENTITY. Are you in the US? And is this accepted practice? I can't...

  22. OB brings med student without permission

    hypnotic_nurse replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have worked at two teaching institutions. The MDs ALWAYS ask if they may bring a student along. I can't believe this guy doesn't ASK. He must not see his patients as

  23. Information sought on bears with hearts

    hypnotic_nurse replied to cajrio's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had one of those bears for my children here at home (not on a hospital unit). It did seem to calm them, especially that first month. After that, they didn't seem to need it as much. Since my kids'...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JnJTyson's topic in Research
