  1. Anxiety on switching careers

    MFlash replied to MFlash's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your reply. Most the time I feel like it is my calling. I have this huge desire to learn more about the body and illnesses and to be able to help people. I have been an EMT for a few...

  2. Anxiety on switching careers

    MFlash posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi I have just recently started to get anxiety about this major career change. I will be starting the RN program in August. I have been with my current employer for 18 1/2 years. They have agreed...

  3. Anxiety on switching careers

    MFlash replied to MFlash's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for reminding me not to focus on the loss. Your reply was precisely what I needed to

  4. SRNA wife about to loose it......

    MFlash replied to Laughing Gas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Consider hiring someone to come in once a week or everyother week to clean. I pay someone $50 every two weeks to come in for 3 hrs. She does a fantastic job and it saves me a ton of time and gives...

  5. Death and Dying Hospice Care Assignmnet

    MFlash replied to BRENEE''s topic in Hospice, Palliative

    My experience with Hospice has been on the receiving end. Both my father and my sister were taken care of by Hospice. My advice is to talk softly and directly to the patient and the family. Use...

  6. Please share with me your experiences with this....

    MFlash replied to *LA*'s topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I had a very different experience but my experience is in the same category (mind boggling). My dad died on February 15, 2005. Just before he died he was in a state of euphoria. One of the things...

    MFlash posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    To all of you Hospice nurses out there. I want to say a heart felt thank you! I just recently lost my father and then within three weeks of my father's death my sister passed away. Whew. It's been...

  9. ER nurses compared to EMT's

    MFlash replied to Dinith88's topic in Emergency

    So my question to you is ....did you take the opportunity to remind the EMT why he should put the pt on 2L of 02 rather that 4L or did you snap at him/her? Keep in mind. EMT's go through a few...

  10. Is this normal for a Dr.?

    MFlash replied to hotnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Trust your own instincts. You know it is innappropriate behavior. If you are the young mom, then perhaps a re-evaluation of your boundries and an appropriate response is in order. If you are not...

  11. 38 too old for school?

    MFlash replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey Bluebirdinc I am happy to see there is someone out there older than I am. Thanks! I'm 50. I am on the waiting list but I am taking the patho class now so I'm making progress. (the school fills...

  13. 38 too old for school?

    MFlash replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am laughing! I am now 50. I am finished with my pre-requisits and am now currently waiting to get into nursing school full time. I will be quitting a full time job to go to school again. Are you...

  14. Meet the Fockers

    MFlash replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    There are two ways to look at that. One is the belittling way (which until the generations change it will be there) and the other is that Gaylord loves nursing and refuses to do anything else...

  15. A question for nursing educators: Why can't students see their final?

    MFlash replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I find it hard to believe but yes, even nursing students will cheat. I can't imagine why anyone would lower themselves to cheating let alone help someone else cheat. There have been times when...

  16. Dealing With Aggressive Coworkers

    MFlash replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you just have a different management style than she does. I prefer people that are less aggressive and will follow them before I will follow someone that has to make sure everyone...

  17. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    MFlash replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    That is a scary statement. However, I find it hard to believe that any doctor would even know whether or not you were an organ donor until after he/she did their best to save your life. It is...

  18. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    MFlash replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I read this I had to smile. I have a dad that is now bed ridden and pretty much talks to me the same way. He keeps telling me I need to cut my hair, my legs look funny, I've gained a little...

  19. Rude and crude RN

    MFlash replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    You are so right to follow your instincts. This man is dangerous. His behavior is not a joke and it is not funny. Do your peers and possible future victims a favor and turn him into your human...

    MFlash replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Even though I am not yet in the nursing world, I have a similar story. The VP of the company I work for made a similar statement about me. He makes a game of making negative comments about the...

  25. Health Care Whistle Blowing: Caught between a rock and a hard place

    MFlash replied to Whistleblower's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! Again. I guess this story will help the rest of us learn how to report without violating the patients rights. Is that
