  1. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    ICUsleep replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Alisha, So sorry to hear about that....not about the panic attack (it happens), but about the ridiculous treatment you are receiving from people who are supposed to be educated NURSES. Without knowing...

  2. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    ICUsleep replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What an odd thread this is....very interesting. Quick question: doesn't the cord need to be cut to count the number of veins/arteries to check for anomalies? P.S. I agree that leaving a rotting organ...

  3. Lexapro

    ICUsleep replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I can relate to this! I felt loopy after not taking Paxil for just ONE day when I was on about 2 years ago, and I do feel that it saved my life (I was in a MAJOR DEPRESSION at the time). The only side...

  4. Reading TB skin test

    ICUsleep replied to memphispanda's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...have your hubby go elsewhere. Once he has a negative PPD reading (sounds like he will be neg.), bring that paperwork back to your MD's office and explain that they may need to train or...

  5. What if all docs had to nurses first?????

    ICUsleep replied to MryRose's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes. :eek: Do you honestly think that doctors "don't do anything" and that nurses do "all the real work"? It is a team effort. It is ALL "real work"!! You obviously have no idea what you are...

  6. Breaking Contract - Scholarship Payback Length of Time

    ICUsleep replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Jerry. Are what you signed on for and what was promised to you the same? It seems THEY might have broken the contract FOR you by not holding up to their end of the deal. You need some...

  7. NH res with criminal history, sex offender

    ICUsleep replied to Betty_SPN_KS's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the pt. deserves the right to equal care, and it seems innappropriate IF his history was revealed to a resident by someone working in the facility. As far as his right to privacy, I...

  8. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ICUsleep replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with you 100%. You will need to conserve more energy (and time!) for going to CRNA school and learning about the procedures you will actually be performing than to spending it working...

  9. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    ICUsleep replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    i have heard a lot about poppy seeds causing positives, so yeah, avoid 'em!:chuckle there are many substances that can cause false positives, actually. at our school, if we tested postivie for a...

  10. Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    ICUsleep replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    Marie_LPN: I never said YOU said it should be a law.:) Was wondering why the poster and those who stated they think it should be a law felt that way. I understand the point of view from those who...

  11. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    ICUsleep replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi, Trulie.julie! Please don't stop taking your meds! At most schools you need to let them know what meds you are on for safety reasons (your own, mostly, ie; if something should happen to you they...

  12. Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    ICUsleep replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I can't see why the poster thinks this is something to be "required by law". Do you also think that med students should HAVE TO start at the bottom of the totem pole to make them more patient...

  13. Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    ICUsleep replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, have come out of report having heard much said about a "difficult" pt. by female nurses, but I think it has more to do with the fact that there are MORE female nurses out there, not because...

  14. Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    ICUsleep replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

  15. I'm thinking about trying to get pregnant and start nursing school? Yes or No?

    ICUsleep replied to rayofsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, they do have to make accommodations. They also can't refuse to let anyone sit down. Why do some people make life hell?

  16. Barrier

    ICUsleep replied to Nurseboy1's topic in General Nursing

    Hey....that whole "barrier" theme is VERY MUCH like the topic for the latest NSA writing competition. I can't help you there 'cuz I'm thinking of entering that competition, too. I want that trip to...

  17. When they call you in to work extra shifts...

    ICUsleep replied to purseOnalityRN's topic in General Nursing

    She told you it DIDN'T MATTER that you had been DRINKING??? :eek: Makes my head hurt to think of how much that DOES matter and why.

  18. Nurse Bully?

    ICUsleep replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    Heh heh! I love those great CNAs! Too bad that wasn't done IN the facility, though. I've been told that a good way to stop an aggressive employee (or anyone) in the hospital is to call a...

  19. They can put a man on the moon. Why Can't They....

    ICUsleep replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Angie! I am a patient advocate, but there isn't a whole lot I can do when the doctor WILL NOT prescribe an effective pain med for someone with a broken leg and I have to be the one to tell...

  20. Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    ICUsleep replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. A "lot" of your female co-workers have a "serious" mental illness? Did they disclose that information to you personally or is that just an assumption? I wonder if they have been driven mad by a...

  21. Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    ICUsleep replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that some male physicians tend to speak differently ABOUT male nurses...usually with more respect. Example would be overhearing a male physician referring to a male nurse as "Mr. Jones"...

  22. Awful Story

    ICUsleep replied to runtough238's topic in General Nursing

    Santana, I respectfully but absolutely disagree with that. One person can make ALL the difference.....that has often been the only thing that HAS spurred changes throughout history. Unity is...

  23. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ICUsleep replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah. I have noticed some of that....I don't tell most instructors that I plan to go into Anesthetism unless they specifically ask about long-term goals...and even then it depends on the type of...

  24. Awful Story

    ICUsleep replied to runtough238's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, report those conditions! That is a lawsuit (several) waiting to happen. You don't want to be there when that happens. Especially if you blow the whistle on it.... hehe. I would blow the...

  25. I was turned down by a Recruiter in 30 seconds.

    ICUsleep replied to RNview's topic in General Nursing

    WOW. That recruiter sounds awful! Trust me, you wouldn't WANT to work there if that is the attitude the RECRUITER for the hospital has. I'm a US citizen, and I wouldn't want to work for a place that...
