  10. Is a BSN needed in nursing today?

    Mulan replied to SierraN's topic in General Nursing

    If I didn't want to do it, I wouldn't do it, particularly if the thought of doing it depressed me. If you were to die in a year, would you rather have spent that year in a BSN program or taking...

    Mulan replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

  13. How To Say No

    Mulan replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like another good reason for caller ID and answering machine. They certainly couldn't prove you ever even heard the message, or maybe you didn't get the message until the shift was...

  14. How To Say No

    Mulan replied to EyesForward's topic in General Nursing

    The easiest way to handle it is to have caller ID and an answering machine, and don't answer the phone when they call, let the machine pick up, and then ignore the

  15. staffing tried to trick/bully me in today!

    Mulan replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    I always enjoy your posts. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but there is no way I would want to be in the float pool at the hospital I go to. They require a certain number of hours, certain...

  16. Can your RNs insert Dobhoff tubes?

    Mulan replied to Teach1995's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know what state you are in. Have been inserting them for years ever since started working med-surg eleven years ago. No credentialing needed. Inserted like an NG tube, needs xray confirmation...

    Mulan replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

  24. Military RN jobs for Spouses???

    Mulan replied to KK7724's topic in Government, Military

    The "huge naval hospital" no longer exists, only a few clinics. The L&D, nursery, and postpartum units were eliminated in 1994 when the Charleston Naval Base was closed due to BRAC. Many RN's...

  25. Question re: Tubex syringes

    Mulan replied to Marshmallow's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't those old metal ones obsolete? Due to the fact that they are prone to needle sticks? The cartridge with the needle attached slid in and then had to be slid out with the used needle still...
