  1. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The moderators just change things! Like... all the time. I can't remember the last article I wrote that stayed published as written. You'd think since I usually generate about 5,000-10,000 views with...

  2. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Before nursing... a rock and roll band. Before that, high school :). I do like using my words though! Thanks for

  3. Transition from medical floor to ICU

    Mully replied to lisajtrn's topic in MICU, SICU

    Are you ACLS

  4. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    Mully replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thank God for capitalism. Until studies which prove that this actually causes a decreased level of patient care are produced, what reason is there to stop it? Fly free market, fly! p.s. nomad -...

  5. New Grad Career Question

    Mully replied to vintagemother's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Here in Michigan, we have LPNs (same as LVNs) who work home health and hospice. I'm not sure if they were new grads or not, but you should be able to get in with the right resume/cover

  6. So tired..why are they all the same.

    Mully replied to fairyluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Cya! With the abundance of diversified opportunities within nursing, why stay at any job that

  7. Hold Diltiazem if SBP <105 or HR <60. So should we hold if BP 91/60 and HR 105

    Mully replied to BrandNewGrad's topic in Patient Medications

    I've heard of doctors prescribing calcium channel blockers for anxiety, but I don't think it's done very much or is widely accepted. Hold the drug. I don't understand why you wouldn't. Did this...

  8. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So there's a good ending to the story... I ended up interviewing and getting the position at the same hospital in the Surgical/Trauma ICU. I guess sometimes it takes a little while for your...

  9. True life, inpatient style.

    Mully replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Great writing!! I loved it. Although, it is dark... If it was an article it would have got much more attention. Anyway, I'm thoroughly

  10. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

  11. Working in critical care as a new RN

    Mully replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You feel like you're not ready because you're not ready. How could you be? You haven't been oriented. Basically it's like this: If you excelled at your in clinicals, and were pretty much in the front...

  12. ARDS: Should We Be Prone to Prone?

    Mully replied to Corey Narry's topic in MICU, SICU

    I have never seen a vented patient prone in our hospital. Great article, thanks for the source. Not having read much into the study, it sounds like best

  13. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I definitely understand what you're saying. No one wants the smart nurse that doesn't answer the bathroom light. I understand what the interviewer was trying to find out about me. He was trying to...

  14. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a difference between complaining and reflecting. This was not a rant or vent post. This was a reflection on a topic that many nurses have noticed with healthcare, and you hit on it exactly...

  15. Code words

    Mully replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    Internet threads and humor go together like a morbidly obese patient and an apple. They just don't mix. OP I understand what you were trying to do here. It's just most of the world likes arguing more...

  16. Hey Murses.....Murse?

    Mully replied to blackvans1234's topic in Men in Nursing

    I always knew of murse as a male purse - a term used to make fun of guys with man bags or murses. Male nurse? Dang right I am. And if you make fun of it, I'll remember not to resuscitate you when you...

  17. Online RN to BSN, a scam?

    Mully replied to the mouse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's all about accreditation from what I gather. Since Chamberlain is accredited, places accept it. Now whether or not it's a scam is another

  18. People really believe this????

    Mully replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if she thinks people with Phd's in art history can do

  19. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wow'ed the last patient I gave a suppository to, that's for sure.

  20. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    Mully replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I literally couldn't think of any specific story or anything, so I crappily pieced together some fluff answer about how I try to wow all my patients. It was not

  21. How to Survive the Job Search

    Mully replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Very encouraging! Don't ruminate... I'll keep that one in

  22. Definition of Hemodynamically unstable...

    Mully replied to FenRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Smart. I never thought of

  23. How do women feel about pts that only want female RN's?

    Mully replied to hodgieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    You said this perfectly! I'm betting this is why the other nurses didn't want to take this patient too, because obviously we're dealing with psych issues here. I never mind switching for dignity...

  24. Overwhelmed to say the least...

    Mully replied to J&B-RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    So how is it working out? My initial thoughts were that you need to stick with it and all of your anxiety will slowly disseminate as you increase your knowledge about the ICU and all its magic. Am I...

  25. NURSING JUDGEMENT.

    Mully replied to fairyluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're doing the job of a good nurse. Way to go! The most important thing is to be attentive. You could have just gave the pain pills since the patient was "in pain". Really she was in pain because...
