  3. Seeking non-clinical nursing position

    sjt9721 replied to Ashes's topic in Texas Nursing

    UT-Southwestern is an option for clinic/research nursing. Have you looked there? Also, have you considered school nursing? It has evolved into so much more than ice-packs & bandaids! Good luck in...

  9. Appropriate Action?

    sjt9721 replied to mdmetz's topic in General Nursing

    Where was the RN? I wouldn't think a student would be doing the "discharge teaching" without supervision! And other respondents are correct: we probably don't know the entire story. I've joked with a...

    sjt9721 replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    "They take IV pumps directly out of a patients room and use it on a new patient without cleaning it...use the ear thermometer on every patient without cleaning it... I can't tell you how many times I...

  14. Do Doctors Really Care?

    sjt9721 replied to Chicklet2's topic in General Nursing

    (at the risk of sounding like a cynical emergency RN)...Come to our ED and complain of abdominal pain. You'll get a full panel of labs and a CT. It might not diagnose the problem, but could rule out...

  15. OU and UCO Nursing

    sjt9721 replied to marilynmom's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Just adding my two cents...Don't automatically discount the private schools because of cost. I chose OCU over OU because I received more financial aid (scholarships & loans) money from OCU. (My...

  18. babies in the ER

    sjt9721 replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    Guess it's safe to assume the infant didn't have facial/head trauma or congenital deformities. I'm trying to understand why the doc would make such a statement. Did he mean "no NGs" in any patient...

  20. What is the difference in

    sjt9721 replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    JCAHO accreditation is tied to Medicare reimbursement. Theoretically, a facility could survive without accreditation (in my understanding). State surveys are typically through the Department of Health...

  21. Texas Excelsior Students

    sjt9721 replied to gidget21608's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry, but this doesn't make any sense to me. EC folks come in and do their testing with EC examiners. They (students & instructors) have nothing to do with other area nursing schools so I don't...

  25. ER doc misread EKG? (long vent)

    sjt9721 replied to JAHJF's topic in Cardiac

    ERNURSE4MS makes a good point, but from the report you received, it sounds like the ED nurse agreed that the EKG showed sinus rhythm (ouch!). Even if the doc & I disagree, my nurse-to-nurse report...
