  1. Pro cal nursing help

    Susie2310 replied to lorena19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just tried this by ratio and proportion: I converted 9 mg to 9000 mcg in order to be in the same units as the order. Then I divided 9000 by 250 to find the number of mcg in 1ml, which came to 36...

  2. Ageism in Nursing: A Pervasive Problem

    Susie2310 replied to VickyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Vicky, I certainly know that your point about being too humiliated, heart broken and worn down, is true for many people, and that age discrimination can be hard to prove. I know too that Mary may not...

  3. Ageism in Nursing: A Pervasive Problem

    Susie2310 replied to VickyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why can what is written in the article not be construed as ageism? A highly trained, experienced, older nurse was written up for petty things and micromanaged, while the younger nurses she works with...

  4. Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

    Susie2310 replied to NyLALove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Patti, congratulations on surviving your online statistics course. I too put statistics off, until it was the last class I needed for my BSN. Math is not one of my strengths either, to say the...

  5. Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

    Susie2310 replied to NyLALove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For college statistics I needed the support of the instructor and the interaction of the classroom: I can say for certain that is one class I would never have taken online. Our instructor had us...

    Thank you for a very helpful

  7. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    Susie2310 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    i do hear what you are saying, and your frustration. but the characteristics you brought up are to my mind a separate issue from the focus of this discussion, a patient requesting no male nurses. i...

  8. Failed the CEN by one question. Literally.

    Susie2310 replied to NorthBay's topic in Emergency

    I wish to respectfully offer another point of view. I believe that passing the CEN exam demonstrates far more than test taking skills. The CEN exam has been discussed on other threads, and at least...

  9. I'm so disappointed; CEN exam

    Susie2310 replied to VICTO3841's topic in Emergency

    I am not an Emergency Nurse and have never worked in the Emergency Room, but for my own reasons I decided I wanted to take the CEN exam. It took me two attempts to pass, and I believe taking a...

  10. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    Susie2310 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have to admit that I do find it odd and disturbing that some people appear to be offended by a request for no male nurses, or appear to make less than their best effort to accommodate the patient's...

  11. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    Susie2310 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    My thoughts are that the patient, in addition to modesty concerns that have already been mentioned, may perhaps have suffered abuse of one kind or another from a man, thus the request. Other...

  12. Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    Susie2310 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for expressing your concern and caring for both your patients and their families. I am an RN. My husband has been hospitalized several times with serious medical problems, and we have both...

  13. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    Susie2310 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Altra, your later post "This" in regard to another quoted statement "Everyone thinks their situation is different" causes me to believe your reply to me above was sarcastic. You replied initially to...

  14. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    Susie2310 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Altra, I'm afraid your explanation doesn't address a situation such as mine and my husband's, although it does address a textbook situation. I hope both my husband and myself continue to encounter...

  15. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    Susie2310 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To Altra, Perhaps ambgirl2nurse's post above will encourage you to reconsider your self-righteous

  16. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    Susie2310 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recognize how a wife who wants to do all the talking for the patient can be a problem, and I recognize the necessity for patients to be able, if they wish, to disclose information without a...

  17. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    Susie2310 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am an RN; my husband has been hospitalized several times for serious conditions, and sees multiple doctors. I have been present with him day and night through his hospital stays, either on a cot in...

  18. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Susie2310 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, I had to laugh, more at some of these replies than the original post. A lot of you guys sound so defensive of these two peoples conduct, as though you're saying " hey, what's the problem, it's...

  19. Man with Law Degree Considering Nursing

    Susie2310 replied to JSBes's topic in Men in Nursing

    To Lulu2008, Very well put. My observations/experience exactly, I'm sorry to say. One of the saddest truths about

  20. Man with Law Degree Considering Nursing

    Susie2310 replied to JSBes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Jim, If you haven't already done so, I recommend reading the thread "Think twice before becoming a nurse", under Nursing Activism/Healthcare Politics. Training as an RN is a huge investment in time...

  21. Think Twice Before Becoming a "NURSE"

    Susie2310 replied to mcrutRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would like to add some further comments on thinking twice before you become a nurse, and this is just my opinion. First, our viewpoints generally change as we get older. When I was in nursing...

  22. Think Twice Before Becoming a "NURSE"

    Susie2310 replied to mcrutRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is my first post also and I agree with the OP in part and with several other comments. One on one, taking care of patients, nurses do of course provide patients with care that saves their lives....
