    Not Including all Transcripts on CRNA Application

    SHGR replied to AngelPower's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CEO compensation

    SHGR replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So by your logic, none of the patients in my clinic who did not choose the path to becoming an RN have a right to expect fair, ethical nursing care. They should have become RN's themselves, rather...

    Nurses~

    SHGR replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gitano, would you mind sharing more of how you did this? Did you cold-call vendors and just ask? Did you just decide to plan all this stuff, or are you on a committee, or is it somehow related to...

    Nurses~

    SHGR replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    They used to give us each a t-shirt. One year it said "we share our gifts to care for you." I love that shirt and have almost worn it to death. This year, nothing. We are planning our own potluck...

    Interview with a family clinic?

    SHGR replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Sounds like the clinic I work in! I love it. Busy urban setting. Busy clinic. Wonderful docs. Questions you might get asked... How do you feel about doing phone triage vs having the patient in front...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    SHGR replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    OP, does your school mean they do not want to PAY for it? If the school does not want to be involved, you could still have one. It would be work and planning, but you could still do

    CEO compensation

    I always though healthcare was more than "a business." I think that's the worldview from which a lot of this ire

    "I DEMAND an antibiotic. I am the customer and I am paying your salary"

    SHGR replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha, the family didn't have pneumonia or bronchitis...just a case of the entitled snots! *snicker* Same thing happens all the time at the doctor's office, too. We just keep going over the same...

    CEO compensation

    SHGR replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are brave. That took a lot of courage to bring up those uncomfortable questions. How someone could sleep at night believing that is fair, is beyond

    Are many nurses products of abusive/drug dependent homes & parents?

    SHGR replied to wsp4905's topic in General Nursing

    When people spout "statistics" like that I want to also see two-sample t test that shows whether there is a difference between people that chose nursing (or it chose them) and people who are in other...

    Things You Need To Know To Be A Nurse...

    SHGR replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Don't martyr yourself! If you find yourself feeling like a martyr (ie, thinking the place will fall apart without you there), take off some of the time you have earned. Work will still be there when...

    Is attending a patient's funeral overstepping "the" boundary?

    SHGR replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    One of my elderly relatives died in a nursing home that has a chapel in it, and that is where they held her funeral. My parents were very disappointed that none of the staff came by as she had lived...

    Concerns about knee and nursing career

    SHGR replied to MAD HATTER's topic in General Nursing

    Got mine fixed and the new one "broke" too. My knee MRI report is nearly two pages long. I have a more desk-ish job now, but yes, agree with all the above

    SHGR replied to Vespertinas's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Imagine this, if you nearly made a mistake, others may have nearly made this mistake too. And then one day this mistake will be made. Report it now before it is actually a med error. This is...
