  1. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    anonymurse replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny thing. All my life I've heard black folks complaining about white folks and white folks complaining about black folks like by being Asian I was naturally on their side or something, and like...

  2. Conflicted over starting INH

    anonymurse replied to Cowboys_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really, really tempted to get a BCG shot. I mean, it just might keep me from getting TB, maybe a 60-80% shot (English results) at not getting it if exposed. American health thinking is that BCG...

  3. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    anonymurse replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Acting like you didn't hear something gives that person the chance to re-evaluate and act like he didn't say it, too. I have had folks turn on a dime given the

  4. Anyone read "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing"?

    anonymurse posted a topic in Cardiac

    Looking for comments on "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing." If you've also read "Short Stay Management of Heart Failure" please contrast the two as tele nursing primers.

  5. Police officer or RN

    anonymurse replied to cyb's topic in General Nursing

    Or it may be that neither of you is perceiving his "best fit"

  6. Anyone read "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing"?

    Nope, been reading policies

  7. How to recognize a Frequent Flyer

    anonymurse replied to EmerNurse's topic in Emergency

    Yup. And the other thing, when an addict is off his drugs, since he's normally numbed up, the slightest pain is amplified. I mean, we go through life with zillions of aches and pains that we ignore,...

  8. Anyone read "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing"?

    anonymurse replied to anonymurse's topic in Cardiac

    Well I figure it was made a taste extreme for the sake of the model's clarity, but really it seems that migrants take more and more with them as they move about. I mean after 20 years in the hospital...

  9. wedding band-hand sanitizer q

    anonymurse replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Well hang onto it, it's a good one. I had an antique 18k WG ring that had a gorgeous dark smoky cast to it like the sky before a thunderstorm. It quit fitting and wouldn't stand sizing, so I eBay'd...

  10. Med-Surg or ER?

    anonymurse replied to mslema's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to think about telemetry as a first year experience. You would get your med-surg time management skills down, and also get a leg up on cardiac diseases, monitoring and meds, plus do...

  11. Interview went really well!!!

    anonymurse replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!

  12. Pathetically Unethical!!

    anonymurse replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It's entirely true that what goes around comes around, because the people who do those things don't just do them once, they do them repeatedly, and the odds are against them getting away with it...

  13. Me vs. the charge nurse

    anonymurse replied to RachelRN25's topic in General Nursing

    OK let me put this another way. A wise old nurse once told me that when someone tells you something, gives you information, a warning, or just scratches their head out loud, you have to do something...

  14. Me vs. the charge nurse

    anonymurse replied to RachelRN25's topic in General Nursing

    Well here is how I would have evaluated the charge nurse's instructions. This is a strict risk-benefit thing. Would calling the doc kill anyone or make anyone sick? No. Could not calling him deny him...

    anonymurse replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    For more about nickel allergies (there's nickel in the WG alloy), rhodium plating, etc. see:

  16. Do I have any legal recourse???

    anonymurse replied to Dakkon76's topic in General Nursing

    If I were dropped into your shoes, I'd chalk it up and move on. Try moving it from the realm of right/wrong into the realm of possible action. Now at the very least, unless you can find a way to...

  17. Anyone read "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing"?

    anonymurse replied to anonymurse's topic in Cardiac

    Yah, that was awesome. Until I read it, I couldn't figure out why I upset my instructors. I guess they read it and their understanding of it was that in the first stage, students had to display blind,...

  18. How to recognize a Frequent Flyer

    anonymurse replied to EmerNurse's topic in Emergency

    Not to thoroughly screw up a pretty decent humor thread, but . . . My wife was a FF, had to keep coming back to OB for tocolytics for our second child as our firstborn arrived definitely not yet ready...

  19. Anyone read "AACN Essentials of Progressive Care Nursing"?

    anonymurse replied to anonymurse's topic in Cardiac

    Well I figured I'd spoil myself and get both plus "Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts," now reading "The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need"--any other book junkies out there let me know what else you...

  20. NCLEX right away without studying?

    anonymurse replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan Complete (four 8-hour classes and Q-bank) is expensive, but if I flunked they'd refund, and if I passed my employer would reimburse. In other words it was guaranteed to be free either way. How...

  21. telemetry monitoring ratio

    anonymurse replied to choirgurl67's topic in Cardiac

    It's not the numbers by themselves that would bother me, it's loss of the tech's patient familiarity (knowing what constitutes a significant event for each patient) and physical accessibility (RN...

  22. EKG and Rbbb

    anonymurse replied to MM2007's topic in Cardiac

    Kewl,

    anonymurse replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How ever did a thread about a MM film stray so far

  24. EKG and Rbbb

    anonymurse replied to MM2007's topic in Cardiac

    OK well how does it look if it's a LBBB? Do the rabbit ears show up somewhere

  25. Who Has a Better Social Life? Days or Nights?

    anonymurse replied to NurseRotten's topic in General Nursing

    I can see how it might matter working five 8s, but working three 12s, most of the week is weekend
