    Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    SHGR replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You could look at this way: a Christian working in hospice will always feel sad if a non-Christian is dying. You will not. You will be able to administer comforts, medications, etc to help the dying...

    SHGR replied to Futrern's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You have a great attitude that is becoming less and less common in all parts of healthcare...it seems that money is soooooo much the reason people are there. Not helping people, not pursuing...

    Private Practice and FNP Question

    SHGR replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not an NP, but a grad student in a large primary care office in Milwaukee, WI. I don't know of any physicians' offices around here that are not affiliated with one of the hospital systems or...

    Graduate Studies after Nursing

    SHGR replied to breakfastfood's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kind of disappointed with the graduate forum here too. What about a research-focused graduate degree in nursing? Some schools have a

    Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    SHGR replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    There is a place for talking (counseling) where you work on problem-solving, I statements, and assertiveness- all those skills that you need at work and in life. Then there is a place for getting...

    SEX and the DD population

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    That does help, at least partially. At least if the people you are working with actually are under 18, then there are regular laws that apply, but you are definitely right, when people have the body...

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

    My new favorite: "I'm going to start an inflammatory thread on AN. Then I am going to disagree with everyone who disagrees with me. I am going to clearly misunderstand every single post that...

    No wonder our profession is messed up

    SHGR replied to NeuroNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, I must work at a pretty good place after all. We value education on every level- not that we get money for it in any way (different topic entirely) but the workplace is supportive of education,...

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    SHGR replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know I'm not really supposed to be in this discussion but Jill, I think you are missing Zenman's point completely, which was part of his point. Learning is learning. A person is a learner, or is...

    Quit nursing already?

    SHGR replied to jellybean16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is a creative side to nursing that can come out once you have a little experience. I applaud you for continuing your own education via the internet. Learning can't stop once you graduate. I...

    Telephone Triage Stories

    SHGR replied to LadyLovelilocks's topic in Telephone Triage

    RN's who work in a physician practice generally do telephone triage to varying degrees. Start by looking at outpatient clinics. Our hospital system has an after-hours triage service that is used by...

    Satisfaction from wiping POO? GASP!

    SHGR replied to iluvhrts's topic in General Nursing

    OP--I'm with you 100%. When you can see the difference your care makes- it's very gratifying. That's what I miss about the med-surg floor. Putting in tubes, too, when someone has a distended...

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    SHGR replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Personally, I would not hire anyone who was inconsiderate to others, nor a person who was so reluctant to change opinions in the face of information and evidence contrary to her - wait for it-...

    Help! Effect of nursing shortage on nursing management and leadership

    SHGR replied to purpletouch's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another hot topic right now that leads organically from this idea is, "what's with the CNL role". That would be a great paper too. What we're trying to say is, if you are hitting a brick wall with...

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    SHGR replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What I see happening is that programs that are brick-and-mortar graduate programs are increasing their online components. I started MSN at one school and could only get into the online class- the...

    Preceding Nurse Never Completes her work

    SHGR replied to bsnanat2's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed with most of what is above. I worked med-surg for a long time and the expectation was that you would finish your stuff on your own shift, and stay late if you needed to. Surely you are not...
