    Overland1 replied to cpatobsn's topic in General Nursing

    From CPA to RN... a rather interesting progression. Being a CPA, you are most likely a logical thinker and a problem solver, both good qualities in a nurse. Granted, there are some major differences...

    Top 10 Reasons We Get Fired!- Medication Errors

    Overland1 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Cool! Looks like a great way to remember the "extra" (but very important) stuff. When I was in school (Dark Ages), the instructors were very proper; I still recall one who became very upset when a...

    Where I work (and probably in many other places), in due time, a visitor will likely remove the magnet to take home for the refrigerator magnet collection. I wish I were totally kidding... More...

    New RN; I want to quit my job already.

    Overland1 replied to irishlynn5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is something about the Nursing profession that is difficult to understand, much less justify. We take new nurses and put them on a shift in which resources are fewer, and opportunities to do and...

    Overland1 replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Medicare (today) is not sustainable, just as most of our government is not sustainable. Few, if any, in our government are thinking about the "and then what?" in all of this. They come up with stuff...

    Overland1 replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see the "cut & paste" of portions of my reply, but I also see a great deal of misinterpretation of what I posted. For example, I cannot find in my post where I stated "the IRS will now run...

    For those of you in Nursing school who want to freak out and annoy your instructors, state the 'five rights' as "TRAMP... Time, Route, Amount, Medication, and Patient",. Or

    Top 10 Reasons We Get Fired!- Medication Errors

    Overland1 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    As do some physicians, but the nurses usually set them straight. I still recall the one who ordered Atropine for what he thought was SVT (was really rapid A-fib). What he should have ordered (based...

    I notice nice veins!

    Overland1 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It is really bad when you start saying or think, "I could get a 14 ga. in that one with my eyes closed, in the dark, blindfolded, behind my back, with my left hand, from across the street." That will...

    The Childish "I Wuv You" Act

    Overland1 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Be careful with all that hugging and touching of hair. We do not know where their hands have been, but we also do not know where their hair has been. A case in point involves an ER nurse I worked with...

    Overland1 replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing I learned many years ago, long before my career change to Nursing, was to always be nice and show respect to everybody, because one of those people may, at a later time and place, be in a...
