  2. New grad volunteer in South Africa

    nola1202 replied to RNlivy's topic in General World

    Wow! I am so jealous! I think it will bring a new cultural aspect to your Nursing care, and if you go for your Masters or Phd, you'll have some original ideas for research. Also, family is so...

    nola1202 replied to nicizcute's topic in General Nursing

  5. Medpass at mealtime a dignity issue?

    nola1202 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    this sounds dangerous. As fast paced as LTC's are with the large number of residents, someone, somewhere's gonna get the meds on top of the other meds. Plus it seems like a lot of extra work,...

  6. Missing Narc.....but for how long?

    nola1202 replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  9. What to do after being fired.

    nola1202 replied to lynkay's topic in General Nursing

  10. Religion in the Room

    nola1202 replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think a lot of it may be regional. I know a nurse I worked with in Pa. that got in trouble for what was called "witnessing" at work. I think she asked the pt. what they believed in Spiritually,...

  14. What does Johnson and Johnson get out of promoting nursing careers?

    nola1202 replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

  19. Would you suggest nursing as a career to someone considering it?

    nola1202 replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    I try to be honest about the down side and encouraging if that is what someone wants to do. What I personally would do has varied over the years. It's a lot like a human relationship, sometimes it...
