  2. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as I mentioned, I find it humorous, but that just might be my warp sense of humor. About the sexual orientation thing, I actually was not thinking about that (hmmm... that could be another...

  4. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Would the following scenerio change your feelings toward "murse"? A male nurse walked into a patient room and the patient is an elderly lady. You introduce yourself as the her nurse for whatever...

  5. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Actually that is the other poll I had about changing the "nurse" label. "Nurse" is not gender neutral at this moment despite we have increase number of males going into the profession. But terms do...

  8. This article disturbs me

    danu3 replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing

    That is interesting because the nursing school I am trying to apply for has this requirement to take an intro to nursing class before they even accept your nursing school application. The intent is...

  9. I am Scared of RN school (Currently an LPN)

    danu3 replied to rasberrikiss's topic in General Nursing

    This question is slightly off topic for this thread, sorry. I am not very good at memorizing things. Any tips beside flash cards in terms of how to memorize things? Especially in a class like...

  10. This article disturbs me

    danu3 replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt they will be happy even if they find a that kind of a job. They will still complain. Actually I think people like that are great at training people who work in the customer complain...

  11. This article disturbs me

    danu3 replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in General Nursing

    Donuts! I would think they would give something more healthy than donuts to a nurse recruit. :) This is like trying to recruit a heart surgeon by buying him/her a juicy hamburger.

  12. Is English required to be an RN?

    danu3 replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Exuse my bad grammar that will follow. Very few of us use perfect English all the time. It depends on the environment. We speak differently under different circumstances. Tape yourself for a week...

  13. If you could get your Master's Degree...What would you get it in?

    danu3 replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... Library and Information Science? With a nursing background, you can become what they call a "medical searcher". It is a specialize area in Library and Information Science.

  14. Day in the life of a Psych Nurse?

    danu3 replied to littlebitt's topic in Psychiatric

    In social work, don't you need an advance degree anyway? At least for the ability to do counseling or whatever. I could be wrong here? If you need an advance degree, you might consider an advance...

  15. Reducing the Brain, Ignoring the Soul

    danu3 replied to finness's topic in Psychiatric

    My understanding and observations are that non pdoc hand out these "happy" pills also. Guess trying something like CBT before trying meds takes too long. Guess it is part of our "instant" and "quick...

    danu3 replied to nursnancy's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That happeened to my mom. She suddenly gotten better, sat up, ate some of her favorite jello, took a sip of juice, and then she just drifed away and died.

    I am not a professional but I am interested someday to try psych nursing as I took care of one of my friend who has schizophrenia for close to a year. Have you try your local NAMI (National Alliance...

    One nurse I met burned out. Took a month off. Decided to go back to school for a master. Now she is teaching the next generation of nurses and she is happy.
