    SHGR replied to solarusmoon's topic in Patient Education

    Hi! I am an RN/CDE too! Yes, we have a form letter. It came as part of our EMR software package and ... it's terrible. LOL Our clinic does have a process in place for this. We make patient registries,...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    SHGR replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is my vote, as well. There are three members of AN that I have hidden...this one, the med student who keeps posting the same troll responses in the APN section, and one other male nursing...

    Experiened Vs New Nurse: An Ongoing Struggle

    SHGR replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I like to go back over "what went wrong" communications and just re-write everyone's dialog. You: SBAR, you know the recommendation is for a CBI. You know you're going to need an IV. Call for help,...

    I love being a Satanist nurse.

    SHGR replied to canoehead's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You being a Satanist nurse (or whatever you are) and public and proud and tolerant, just makes me feel safer that all beliefs are tolerated. Including mine. Praise the

    Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    SHGR replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, they can maybe fire a bully after everyone else documents their collective gluteals off, because things like "tone of voice" are just plain difficult to qualify (apparently) ... then pay...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    SHGR replied to Heart for Nursing's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some good advice I have received: work in the place where you have a good, supportive manager who will help you grow. You mentioned your manager is "so sweet"- and she has confidence in you- take the...

    Why I became a nurse

    SHGR replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, nothing like having another staff re-orient an elder to the fact that her husband, mom, gramma, whomever has been dead for years, and watching her cry all over again with grief. No thanks!!! I...

    SHGR replied to BlueDevil,DNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is fabulous news for APN's and nursing. Thank you so much for sharing, Blue Devil. In a couple years' time- if everything goes according to plan- I hope to be that CNS, leading the diabetes...

    SHGR replied to Karla_isela's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also I wanted to clarify my earlier response, I am suspecting that the instructor downgraded the students for "the way the nurses answered the questions" is because the nurses just ...answered the...

    Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    SHGR replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I love this, and it's the study method I'm using for my advanced patho class. Because, in the real world, you really do have to understand things to that level. If I can explain a concept, then I...

    Albuterol question....

    SHGR replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    This is the really baffling part re: albuterol. Isn't this just a sub for the propellant? Not the med itself? The irony being (speaking as both an asthmatic and a nurse) that this whole propellant...
