  4. Narcotic count

    cadillac05 replied to ragingmomster's topic in General Nursing

    Pyxis also requires a physical count. Don't see how that makes a difference except that each person's entry is noted. And "Amen" to the manager taking charge of the problem! :angryfire Too many of us...

  6. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    cadillac05 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    It occurs to me that it isn't stupidity on the doctors' part. There is a basic lack of respect all too often for nurses. I've heard that at one time, when a nurse & doctor were appoaching each...

    cadillac05 replied to Astoria's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa! Came here from the great state of Washington (east side) so am familiar with Astoria's area. Kentucky is quite a different place. Not that I don't find some really nice folks (married one last...

    cadillac05 replied to klondike's topic in General Nursing

    Disrespect for the office of our president (no matter who holds it) by using silly names is inappropriate in this discussion. As a reminder, Congress plays a role in all legislation. Would I work for...

  9. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    cadillac05 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Different cultures, different times, patience is still a virtue, isn't it? Years ago, to repeat, the term "nurse" was a generalized term in some cultures. I'm no spring chicken but do not recall that...

  12. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    cadillac05 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Any position is important in a health care setting. I am irritated, however, by those who refer to non-nurses as nurses. It took lots of hard work & time to attain the earned title of Registered...

    cadillac05 replied to weetziebat's topic in Operating Room

    cadillac05 replied to weetziebat's topic in Operating Room

    As the high tech era has evolved, not only is there troubleshooting, there is MUCH more equipment in rooms designed for the basics only. Consequently, while circulating, I have found I've spent a lot...
