  1. I am 51 y/o, is it too late? (need honesty)

    danu3 replied to wandaeh's topic in General Nursing

  5. Terri Schiavo's Hospice

    danu3 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is things like this that make the more reasonable Christians want to break the 6th commandment over the protestors' head. What about the new commandment Jesus gave to his diciples (in John's...

    About the 2 CNAs and the RN who gave the affidavits, it just dawn on me that means there are foul play involve regardless whether the affidavits are true or not. If they are true, then the husband is...

    danu3 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    This opens up another question which is as a society, how do we value a human being? For example, do we value a person by what s/he does/produce? Do we value a person by his/her relationship with...

    Thanks. I saw those already, however. I was asking for the other tape on the other side. Just wanting to see both

  12. Why can't we just be nurses anymore?!?!?

    danu3 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    Or in mental health, it is call "consumer" and I just can't get adjusted to it. I keep having this image of people lining up at an electronic store to buy a TV or something.

  13. Nursing school advice needed

    danu3 replied to babysRusRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are different nursing roles in a surgical procedure. The nurse who hands the doc tools is not as easy as it looks if I understand it correctly. You have to be familiar with the procedures also...

    danu3 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    This reminded me of my mom when she died. The last week or so of her life, she basically stopped eating and drinking on her own. When I tried to feed her or give her a drink, she would take a token...

    danu3 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    As for me, I used to be more on the husband side before I got more familiar with the case. As I gotten more familiar with the case and especially seeing the video on the parents' site, I lean more...

  19. Need ideas for Nurses Week

    danu3 replied to NurseDixie's topic in General Nursing

    And then you took the bus home, forgetting to go to the BR before you leave, and it is a 1 hour bus ride and there are no BR on the bus!

  20. Need ideas for Nurses Week

    danu3 replied to NurseDixie's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea in asking the nurses where you work want instead. How about "enforced" bathroom break (no holding your urine for 12 hours). Learned in my microbiology class (the prof was an RN) that it is...

  21. Need ideas for Nurses Week

    danu3 replied to NurseDixie's topic in General Nursing

  22. Anyone go to med school after nursing school

    danu3 replied to avery's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, it is interesting how one's mind work. One time I was writing out a check to pay my bills on my birthday and I put the year I was born on the date of the check. Luckily I caught it later (all...

    I posted this before. But here it is: http://www.miami.edu/ethics2/schiavo/CT%20scan.png This is a CAT scan of Terry's brain (not sure when it was taken, don't think it is recent). It is from a...
