    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    SHGR replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am laughing so hard at this I can barely see, picturing the poop

    Does the name of the university OR ranking of their specialty impress employers more?

    SHGR replied to mooshgigila's topic in General Nursing

    The thinking is that the B student is well-rounded, may have spent more time developing other interests, hobbies, volunteer experience, and developing soft skills rather than the perfectionist...

    Seeking info from NP specialty psychiatry

    SHGR replied to thekid's topic in Advanced Practice

    The problem is, all of you are right. I am in a big central city area with way too many hospital systems and way too few psych providers. We have patients told the next new patient psych appointment...

    Medication Education... built into the EMR?

    SHGR replied to Ewbok123's topic in Patient Education

    If you have an EMR, there is no reason not to have education built right in. Making it part of the scanning process is brilliant- just, like a pop-up, or easily printable, or what were you thinking?...

    patient requests hand mitts

    SHGR replied to newone2015's topic in Emergency

    Patient autonomy, in an A&Ox4 pt with good insight. Like a PP said, mitts are not considered a restraint. Chart to CYA. Sounds like a win/win to

    Treat diabetes?

    SHGR replied to nursecathi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The only patient that I ever had who wanted to continue to care about his diabetes on hospice was a gentleman who had had Type 1 for most of his life. He continued to check sometimes and he would eat...

    Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    SHGR replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is an insightful idea. When the fried chicken places are everywhere, pumping out delicious smell, it does overwhelm willpower, doesn't it. Similarly, the Framingham study (a large longitudinal...

    Students who fight back at instructor feedback

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Quick update. Two of the students whom I have been pushing (and getting pushback from) turned in the most fabulous, detailed, insightful clinical logs this week. So I can see that they get it. The...

    Glad to hear that you are feeling better and that despite your success you are not judging. The world needs people like

    Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    SHGR replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The microbiome research being done will revolutionize health care as we know it, including diabetes care. It is the most fascinating thing right now- talk about a paradigm

    Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    SHGR replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    "Yo-yo" dieting is one cause. It disrupts normal metabolism to the point of weight gain when eating minimal calories. It is a common sequela of disordered eating (starve, binge, starve, binge). We...

    Will I get in trouble with the State Board of Nursing

    SHGR replied to aetienn6's topic in School

    Honestly I think you meant well for the patient. There was an antibiotic ointment co. that a couple years ago was even marketing itself as a tx for chapped lips ("tiny cuts" or some such rationale)....

    I have been talking with the didactic instructor and talking with the other faculty (amazingly supportive). If anything, I am naturally too non-confrontational, and started out too nice (assuming...

    Students who fight back at instructor feedback

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am not complaining about you. I am talking about students who, for instance, are not able to tell me whether a med is scheduled or PRN and why it matters, then tell me that it doesn't

    Regarding chronic tardiness

    SHGR replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Klone, looking at all the responses you have received as a whole/in the aggregate, the commonality I am seeing is that the people who were able to change somehow had a penalty (a real one) placed on...

    Students who fight back at instructor feedback

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks for your reply. I don't see a correlation between age and attitude in the group. Two of the students in their early 20's have the most open and hardworking attitudes. One of the...

    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

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

    TOTALLY this ^^^. As an adjunct charged with Getting Students Ready for NCLEX while simultaneously Getting Students Career-Ready this is a tough balance! NCLEX demands hard and fast answers on a...

    Advice on informatics focused reasearch for a phd program?

    Agreed with Ikarus, what I see in practice is that those with a natural aptitude, certification and/or experience in specific applications, and the willingness and ability to spend a weekend learning...

    FLAME ON!

    SHGR replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    This actually sounds sad to me, like the student might have been having a psychotic breakdown. I can't find this funny. OK, back to flaming. The other ones are

    2 week notice necessary?

    SHGR replied to v412's topic in General Nursing

    This is a wise statement. Note that nurses are paid for what we do, as well. In my experience home health is largely about following the rules laid out by CMS. If the rules are not followed, the...

    CNS clinical rotations

    SHGR replied to Madriver's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    And I DO want it! I am so glad that the FNPs excel in direct, primary care. I'll do all the coordination, informatics, QI, and research. It's a deal! We complement each other. It shouldn't be a...

    CNS clinical rotations

    SHGR replied to Madriver's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    The choice sounds obvious to me. RN's I know who went on medical missions were delivering babies in Africa as the provider- scope of practice is so different there. If the cost is the same an FNP...
