  1. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone is free to insist anything they want; I would think that professional nurses who have presumably taken research courses would wish to find out the facts of a situation before asserting their...

  2. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Macawake, if you or anyone else wishes to engage in a discussion about what my situation was or was not, or what I should have done or should not have done, based on no facts about my situation...

  3. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    With respect, knowing nothing about the facts of the situation I mentioned, as you were not present, all you and others can do is conjecture. None of you know the particulars of the situation I...

  7. BSN Only? Give me a break!!

    Susie2310 replied to michaelvgrigsby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My BSN completion program at a state university required a semester of community health clinicals, and also required a clinical preceptorship which I was able to do in a new specialty. I had already...

  8. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I am from the UK too, and whether or not you refer to yourself as European is of no relevance that I can see. Unfortunately, your quote, "Your lack of planning does not my emergency make" does not...

  9. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Cultural issues aside, and I am from Europe and am very familiar with the cultural importance of "tea breaks"; putting one's tea break before the needs of a patient, so that no physician is available...

  10. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right Fiona59; thank you for taking the time to educate me. I actually come from Europe, so I am familiar with differences in culture, but thank you all the same for informing me...

  11. fetching the doctor's tea

    Susie2310 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I did call a doctors' practice once when I was in Europe, with an important concern, and I was told that the doctor along with the staff were on their "tea break," so no-one was able to speak to me at...

    Susie2310 replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses and physicians earn respect from the public by practicing their profession conscientiously and competently, showing respect and compassion for their patients and their patients' families, and...

  13. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Susie2310 replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    All this "standing up in unity" does is broadcast loudly and clearly to anyone who will listen that there are nurses who are immature and foolish enough to waste their time taking a stand against...

  15. Rhythm debate

    Susie2310 replied to MendedHeart's topic in Cardiac

    I am seeing sinus rhythm as the underlying rhythm. I am also seeing a possible early stage MI in lead V4, and am assuming that what appears to me as a left bundle branch block in lead VI is a new...

  16. I feel stressed beyond anything. Help!!

    Susie2310 replied to GodIs082010's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you know the correct techniques, but are unable to perform them correctly because of nerves, unless you are required to perform these procedures in a specific order, perhaps taking the radial pulse...

  17. I feel stressed beyond anything. Help!!

    Susie2310 replied to GodIs082010's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I apologize for not seeing your reply until now. For the blood pressure I am assuming your instructor is listening to the blood pressure with you. Are you deflating the cuff too quickly (more than...

    Susie2310 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    If a facility is advertising for a position for an RN II, unless there is a dire shortage of applicants who are an RN II, why would the facility choose to spend time, money, and resources training a...

  19. Fingerprinting patients?

    Susie2310 replied to sharkbacon's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While medical facilities computer installations and data are always at risk from the activities of hackers, and have on occasion been targeted by hackers, I am not aware of a significant incidence of...

  21. TNCC Advice Needed!

    Susie2310 replied to gagirl08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand taking TNCC if you are not prepared to read the book from cover to cover and study the contents well. Are you a new grad? Do you have any nursing experience? There is a huge...

  22. O2 protocol 89 vs 90%

    Susie2310 replied to man23SN's topic in General Nursing

    "O2 to maintain sats > 90%", means to me that if O2 sats drop to 90% or less, then oxygen is to be administered per protocol to maintain sats >

  23. Am I On Camera? No Paparazzi Please!

    Susie2310 replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, patients have the legal right to know the name of the licensed nurse caring for them, just as all patients have the legal right to contact their State Board of Nursing to file a...

  24. Explaining the NP role to pts and everybody else

    Susie2310 replied to npstudent22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have often thought it would be appropriate to fully explain the difference between education and training between physicians and nurse practitioners. Then patients and the general public understand...

  25. Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    Susie2310 replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My comment was addressed to nurses, not techs. You have taken it out of context. If you read my first paragraph my first sentence said: "I really believe we sell ourselves short as NURSES if we say...
