  3. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, that is a real problem with most self-defense class. That is why it would be nice if there are something specific for the nursing profession. A few replies on this thread seemed to indicate...

    danu3 replied to michele08540's topic in Nursing Career

    danu3 replied to Bill Levinson's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am a prenursing student. Before this, I worked in engineering for close to 20 years and on the side I am an ISO 9000 internal auditor. In my opinion, I don't think the health care system needs ISO...

  6. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Come to think of it, there are stuff in CDT that are not pressure points, they are just huge area of our body where there are lots of surface nerves like under our upper arms, behind the things, the...

    That's interesting, the one I learn in the take down (for psych patient) part require 5 persons instead of 3. One person for each arm and legs (4 people right there), and one person to protect the...

  10. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    The one problem I see with Krav Maga is that it is what I call "bang them, whack them" kind of self defense. That may be applicable in certain situation like a hostage situation, terrorist attack, or...

  11. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Very good advice. With CDT, I can see it being use to get one out of trouble when help have not arrive yet or can't get help (basically one is trapped for whatever reason and can't get help). Just...

  12. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Just finished the CDT class. I am so glad it is only two 1/2 days. Our training T-shirt is blue... it really should be black and blue instead... more appropriate. Toward the end, we were in two...

  13. Nurse Self-Defense Class

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Well, today I went to this self-defense class that is two days long (4 hours each day). It is aimed at law enforcement mostly but it is open to the public. About 1/3 of the class are people from law...

  14. More male nurses

    danu3 replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I need to see an urologist, I really don't care if the person is male or female, white, black, brown, yellow, or green, has hair or no hair, a 8 foot giant or a 3 foot midget... I just want...

  15. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    danu3 replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    Come to think of it, with 20/20 hindsigt, maybe a good response is to just laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and start to roll on the ground laughing, and just walk away with laughing tears.

  16. Determinants of Health

    danu3 replied to Teach's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Just rambling... How about trying to look at what doctors actually eat? Like do cardiologist eats lots of juicy hamburgers? Or if a MD in respirtory smokes a lot? Do the same for nurses, what are...

  17. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    danu3 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    You know something, this thread reminds me of the word "engineer". Same kind of problem. We even have "sanitary engineer" for example.

  18. What is the advantage of having...

    danu3 replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, also the ASN been trying to have the entry level for a RN to be a BSN, not at the ADN level. This probably not going to be happening soon. But if it does happen, you'll be in a much better shape...

  19. What is the advantage of having...

    danu3 replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

    You have a lot more flexibility in terms of career moves or future education (going to grad school). I am getting my prereq out of the way and when I apply for nursing schools, I apply for both ADN...

  20. Question about inmates

    danu3 replied to nursebaby22's topic in Correctional

    If you want to get involve, maybe make it so that after his release, you two will take say, 2 years, to get to know each other spiritually, mentally, and emotionally before any kind of commitment....

  21. Who should sit in front of a 2 persons bike?

    danu3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here is a fun poll. I just notice a couple on a two-person bicycle and I wondered how did they decide who sits in the front and who sits in the back? Do they always sit the same or do they switch?...

  22. Who should sit in front of a 2 persons bike?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have not been on a tandem. Interesting that the heavier person has to be in front, reverse of being in a 2 person kayak where the heavier person has to be in the back. Usually the lighter...

  23. Any underweight nurses?

    danu3 replied to December716's topic in General Nursing

    I remember two nurses my mom had when she was really sick (my mom is a bit overweight). One was a big nurse and she basically uses brute strength to lift her. The other is a real skinny nurse,...

  24. Who should sit in front of a 2 persons bike?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    The couple I saw has the husband sat in front. He is really tall and the wife is really short. All she can see is his back. I think it make more sense if the shorter wife sits in the front unless...

  25. What is a watch with a second hand?

    danu3 replied to Wanna_be_a_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't they teach these things (mercury thermometer, second hand, ... etc) during a nursing history class or something? :)
