  1. Would you ever sue for malpractice?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    You are right -- all the riches in the world don't matter. What does matter is that you get acknowledgement that someone made a huge mistake -- and maybe then it won't happen to someone else. And...

  2. What style of music do you listen to the most?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    My all time favorite is Al Stewart -- his music is haunting and thoughtful. And if the only one by Al you've ever heard is "Year of the Cat", you are missing a lot. If you can find it, listen to...

  3. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Many grown guys have at least some chest hair. That's just the way it is. There's nothing wrong about it. I guess as a society we've made all the women look as prepubescent as we can so now we're...

  4. LVN/RN dilemma

    hypnotic_nurse replied to dzook's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think the transition course is a waste of time -- the LPNs joined my nursing class in the second year and worked just as hard as any of us. The advantage I see for you having an LVN/LPN would...

  5. How many male nurses do you have on your floor?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Not a single one at my regular job (outpatient otorhinolaryngology -- I'm the only one doing research, but I work closely with the other nurses). At my float pool job (psych -- I float to several...

  6. Disaster nursing/International volunteering

    hypnotic_nurse replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have not done disaster nursing, however I did work for 10 days at a clinic in rural Mexico. Each of us in the group that was going worked hard for a year to raise the $$ to send us and begged,...

  7. How do you get it through nurses heads that we MUST be patient advocates?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to pghfoxfan's topic in General Nursing

    They seem to either get it or they don't. Best I can tell you is to lead by

  8. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    I had one instructor like that, fortunately in my last semester. Truly awful. Made me so anxious I could barely make myself go to clinical. She was a new instructor that semester, and she was not...

  9. what kind of student were u?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to luilui_604's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I made As and Bs in nursing school. I did not take a review course, and I spent maybe 2 hours with the review book I bought. At that point I felt that either I knew it or I didn't; I've never done...

  10. Let's Have Some Fun!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

  11. Stethoscope Repair?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't they sell replacement

  12. Is is weird to ask for more duties at work?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's weird; I think it's wonderful -- you'll learn so much

  13. Let's Have Some Fun!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    It's so I can hang around all those handsome gentle kind and loving

  14. How many of you have 75 questions passed or failed?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Mino's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    WOO HOO!

  15. need help for severe depression

    hypnotic_nurse replied to needs help's topic in General Nursing

    Please see someone qualified to treat your emotional ills, a psychiatrist, counselor, or NP. Your history of depression may well be compounded by post traumatic stress or inability to cope with all...

  16. how to remove/insert someone's contact lenses?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    One of these was used on me in the ER after I had an allergic reaction and the surface of my swelled to the size of a walnut (that was really, really weird -- apparently I am severely allergic to...

  17. How many of you have 75 questions passed or failed?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Mino's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed with 75, and I too thought I had failed miserably.

  18. ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    There comes a point at which you have to turn 'em loose and let 'em go. She sounds responsible. It also sounds as though she would be the one taking on the debt...so if it's what she really wants,...

  19. Research Question

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JnJTyson's topic in Research

    You may be able to find patients by asking for referrals from some of the clinics in your area which serve fixed-income or low-income people. Since the study pays the MD, patients can get their study...

  20. Research Question

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JnJTyson's topic in Research

    I am doing similar research now, both pharma trials and device trials in head and neck cancer. I've previously done pharma trials in psychiatry and also worked in a federally funded center doing NIH...

  21. clinical trials for lithium

    hypnotic_nurse replied to johnathanr's topic in Research

    I think those studies were done pre-1960s. So no, I don't think they will ever get rid of them (they'll be antiques soon)! But the OP could probably do a lit search for McKnelly (MacKnelly? I can't...

  22. Need advice re: leaving teaching to become a nurse...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to littleyappingpom's topic in General Nursing

    I taught before I was a nurse. Give me a ward full of psychotic patients any day over a day full of middle school

  23. clinical trials for lithium

    hypnotic_nurse replied to johnathanr's topic in Research

    I know some of those studies were done at the University of Kansas Health Sciences Center in Kansas City, Kansas...when I worked there (left in 2000) they still had dusty boxes full of the original...

  24. NON-Patient Care Employment for new R.N.s

    hypnotic_nurse replied to California-O.T.'s topic in Nursing Career

    I beg to differ on the two examples I gave. Research study monitors do not need to have had direct patient care. Not all of them are nurses; one lady I know has a BA in Music; another gentleman has a...

  25. gossip and back bitting

    hypnotic_nurse replied to lighthouseRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's been my experience that one or two trouble makers can keep a whole group riled up (there's an Okieism for you) 24/7. I think other people get dragged in because 1) we (esp women, but men can be...
