I have been a nurse for 18 years and I am finally going back for my Bachelor's Degree. I am considering becoming a school nurse and I would like to find out what I need to do. Is there a specific course of action that I need to take? Like study pu...

I have been a nurse for 1 years and have some experience with computers. Nurses are always asking me how to do things on the computer. I didn't know about this type of nursing until I saw it on this list. It sounds interesting. What is it and how...

I am from the old school where it was run by gravity. I think that it is because those old pumps were not made to run them.

Male nurses in OB? No way! Also, we should wonder about all those male doctors who work there as well . Just a thought, but if no one objects to male doctors, why should they object to male nurses? What's the difference in where they are lookin...

In our hospital, everything can be run on a pump, even IVPBs. And guess what? PRBCs do wonderful on a pump.

I say, usually the tech who has had the training to read them. That's because if she/he is trained, they specialize in this and this is all they do. Nurses have a general training and can't really specialize in anything, because there is a lot of g...

I often make sure that my plates are interspersed because I feel that it allows the water and soap a better distribution. If i put like plates together, they have a tendency to lean together and I don't feel that water gets in between them as well.

I have 18 years experience as an ADN nurse and am going for my BSN. I am interested in becoming a telephone triage nurse. Is there any type of training available in Houston, TX? How do I get into it?:lol_hitti

A co-worker of mine said that she had been in telephone triage nursing ans she got out of it because of the potential for lawsuits. Do you find this to be a risk? How do you deal with that risk.

I'm sorry, what is MIS?

Thanx. What has your experience in school nursing? What are its ups and downs?

Thanx. Do you know what software is most commonly used?

Two years ago, I was reported to the BNE for a medication error. It was really a documentation error. I was to give two medications, one IV and one IM. On two separate occasions of inadvertently wrote the wrong name of the medication but the right...

Once again, my question is how do I answer when they ask about it?

You're right! I lost the job that I got reported to the BNE. I think that it might have been a little retaliatory because I filed Safe Harbor/Request for Peer Review for unsafe assignments. But the job that I got after that is the one that closed do...

Just out of curiosity, why did you decide that it was not for you? Did it not meet your expectations or were they not useful?

How much are you asking for them?

Do you know where I can get information on LNC monthly meetings in Houston?
