  1. resp therapy vs RN

    deathnurse replied to obeyacts2's topic in Pulmonary

    While you may make more money and have more job opportunities, you'll certainly inherit all that is wrong with health care. Our RT's are CRUISIN' compared to what we go through in 12 hours a day. And...

  2. RN to BSN orientation

    deathnurse replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    Ya' wanna' be a nurse? You passed the test. You want more letters after your name? Become a professional in another field. It's folly to stick on BSN after the RN. There is NOTHING that an ADN can do...

  3. Shared Governance

    deathnurse replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    When you're saving money, you won't see snazzy ideas such as these. When you've got OPM (other people's money) from universities, county facilities, and so on, you start to see the paper mill projects...

  4. What a way to end a great shift

    deathnurse replied to bellehill's topic in General Nursing

    Take your breaks before they take your spirit. Insist that "night shift" can handle it. It's a 24 hour job and this mantra that day shift has to do it all is preposterous and shouldn't be fostered. I...

  5. IV in AC

    deathnurse replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    psychomachia has the definitive answer. And, again, I'm amazed at the very question. Oh, give me a wino at change of shift! It's now 0232 and my rants and rave continue, despite the Cuervo...

  6. Leaving nursing

    deathnurse replied to wandering_rn's topic in General Nursing

    You're FREE! Don't ponder the life of a nurse! You're outta' there! You won't be abused by patients, doctors, managers, relatives, and visitors any more! You won't be sued! You won't catch a deadly...

  7. RN bashing

    deathnurse replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    professionals. yeah.

  8. What jobs can I get with my BSN if I don't pass Hesi/Nclex?

    deathnurse replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for you! Stay out of patient care and use that "degree" for something else. Pharmacy sales is a good one. Converting over to a pharmacist is even better. Or maybe...

  9. Sutures

    deathnurse replied to Salus's topic in General Nursing

    Had to through that

  10. Health policies highlight Kerry and Bush differences, analysts say

    deathnurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah, the situation sucks, but we're making choices aren't we? Get out of nursing and into a business with more

  11. About a LTC MD who is BAD NEWS

    deathnurse replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We could use him here in Las

  12. What was your secret weapon for surviving nursing school??

    deathnurse replied to michelle_s_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not in that

  13. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    deathnurse replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    and the grief that goes with

  14. Just frustrated at poor attitudes in the general public.

    deathnurse replied to movealong's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is the most well-respected occupation in the public opinion polls. But it doesn't appear that they are polling the patients and visitors in the hospital. Patients love nurses until they need...

  15. Mandatory Meetings :(

    deathnurse replied to MandyInMS's topic in General Nursing

    ...and the problem is, specifically: How could anyone even consider that they would have to attend this "mandatory" meeting at the whim of a managers coercion? Can't you all take a JOKE? Tell em'...

  16. Pregnant and Working with Respiratory MRSA

    deathnurse replied to JerseyGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Someone said: "I think that R.N. and others who won't accomodate you, should think about you and your baby's health..." Wrong. That's like the old saying, "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." A...

  17. As a BSN student in clinicals it seems like many floor nurses are "mean spirited".

    deathnurse replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    This is an outstanding example of the reasons that no one should become a nurse and work with other

  18. so what does your hospital's ceo make?

    deathnurse replied to mercykitten's topic in General Nursing

    I've been trying to find out CEO salaries and havn't had any luck. Maybe someone's got inside info on web sites/financial

  19. Question for House Supervisors

    deathnurse replied to RoaminHankRN's topic in General Nursing

    Or even a laptop? Amazing... Anyone heard of/work at the hospitals that use Palm devices to carry patient info? MD's can walk through the front door and recieve/beam patient info on the way in. Labs,...

  20. Sewing your own scrubs

    deathnurse replied to obeyacts2's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I'll let her out and give her extra food if the seams are

  21. Cell phone use in hospitals

    deathnurse replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    In an emergency... You've got to know what's going where. Ya' can't dump high dose K riders through the right atrium. Nipride can get an unwanted "boost" if ran though the same line as a piggybacked...

  22. Cell phone use in hospitals

    deathnurse replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    Two things... I'm a pilot. In its early infancy, the use of cellphones was kind of thought to have interference with radio communications and possibly navigation equipment. This has since proven to be...

  23. Taping IV Catheters

    deathnurse replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    In ER/ICU: Tape it or lose it. Anesthesia or paramedics never gets "dinged" for it, so why should you? Got "drips" running on a step down unit?: Tape it or lose it. Elsewhere, consider the access...

  24. NANDA: Energy Field Disturbance Diagnosis

    deathnurse replied to CarolineRn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. Energy fields are screwed up. Let's make up a new "Nursing" diagnosis for that one. We'll never get any respect if this gets out. "Yeah, uh, Doctor Smith? The reason I'm calling you is because...

  25. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    deathnurse replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Kelman: My feelings, exactly. My younger brother (without the degree) is simply doing computer "help-desk" and troubleshooting type stuff for a major communications company in California. I say...
