  1. Well here's something I didn't think about: secondhand pot smoke?

    Mr. Murse replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    a few other people have said this, but you would have to be in a small space with thick smoke to test positive for THC. It would be HIGHLY unlikely (I would even say impossible) that you would test...

  2. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Inconceivable!!

  3. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry, no I actually wasn't directing that towards you , or anyone in particular. Just something I've thought about for a while and have seen on this site a few times here and there. I see it at work...

  4. hiring person inappropriate?

    Mr. Murse replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    I really doubt any litigious pursuits would amount to much more than a pain in everyone's butt, and money out of your pocket. I say this primarily because there is absolutely no proof, from what...

  5. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Just slightly off topic.......I get a little irritated when I hear people, especially other nurses, imply (or directly talk about) the superiority of critical care nursing over med/surg. Granted, fact...

  6. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just read the OP and not all the responses, so apologies if I repeat anything that's been said, but the only time I've seen education even remotely cast in a negative light is when someone rises to...

  7. infection and normal WBC

    Mr. Murse replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    interesting thread. I've learned a few very useful things reading through this. thanks to all replies and the OP for the good

  8. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    Mr. Murse replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I know this post was from a while back, and I didn't read every post since, but are you really suggesting nurses and other healthcare workers carry handguns? Don't get me wrong, I completely support...

  9. Almost lost my cool at work

    Mr. Murse replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, to the OP, judging by the way you described the situation, I doubt anyone but you noticed you were even frustrated. ha. but I know what you're talking about. I'm also a very calm,...

  10. Scrub the Hub

    Mr. Murse replied to ManNurseBear's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, there's no way to give you any accurate idea of what the likelihood is of that patient having complications from that one time you didn't scrub. There are a lot of factors to consider...

  11. Charge nurse pay

    Mr. Murse replied to Blandini7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what our full time charges make, but when I charge I get an extra $2 something an

  12. fail

    Mr. Murse replied to danlee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    hmmm.........sounds like you've left out MANY important pieces of this puzzle, danlee...........Ladyfree28's post showing your past actions and attitudes kind of changes

  13. Would you do that?

    Mr. Murse replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there's a good blanket answer because each situation would be different. You could probably size the person and situation pretty quickly.......are they clean? are there any secretions...

  14. DUI/DWI in Maryland

    Mr. Murse replied to ritam1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I was wondering what PBJ is too. ha. Anyway, I don't know much about Maryland, but I know people that have been in worse legal situations that did not lose their license, so you probably don't have...

  15. My one big issue

    Mr. Murse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if people like me upset you. I just don't really care about breaks. I know if I really need one, I can usually take one, but I generally don't even care about taking one. I get physical rest...

  16. The Face of a Medical Error...

    Mr. Murse replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To the OP, do you mind sharing what happened? I'm not asking to shame you or anything like that, but rather to learn from it. If it happened to you then it can happen again, but maybe hearing another...

  17. fail

    Mr. Murse replied to danlee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm having trouble following what happened. I'm guessing English is not your first language, either way, try to explain the situation a little better. So let me try to clarify, first your instructor...

  18. Didnt attemp CPR to a rigor mortis patient

    Mr. Murse replied to Nar09's topic in General Nursing

    Did the director and coworker not know the patient was DNR? I mean, if the patient had all the proper paperwork done to be DNR then there should be no question at all. No CPR should have been...

  19. My one big issue

    Mr. Murse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Med-surg floors aren't exactly predictable and the schedule is completely relative to what's going on with the patients from moment to moment so it's practically impossible to guarantee that every...

  20. urgent need some out there to take care of tis question

    Mr. Murse replied to UcheAnyiam's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, my first response might have come across a bit more blunt than I intended. In my head I was saying that more sarcastically which didn't translate well.......but still, the OP seemed to be asking...

  21. Quick 2 questions

    Mr. Murse replied to Blitzkrieg069's topic in Men in Nursing

    You'd probably get a lot more responses if you put this in the "general nursing" section instead of "men in nursing", unless of course you're just looking for answers as they pertain to men in...

  22. Undershirt

    Mr. Murse replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Men in Nursing

    do you not consider your undershirt dirty after you wear it for a full shift whether you get hit with fluids or not.....? and yeah, I think the hairy chest peeking over the neck of the scrub top would...

  23. non-religious overseas medical work

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate you trying to put this thread in the right category, but I think I would be getting more responses if it had been left in the "general nursing discussion" where I had originally posted...

  24. How can I tell if I'm cut out for night shift

    Mr. Murse replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Many people that function well and enjoy night shift are "night people" anyway. Like myself, even when I haven't been on nights I always find myself staying up late because I enjoy being awake at...

  25. Furosemide & KCl

    Mr. Murse replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Patient Medications

    As someone else said, first thing I would look at is the current potassium level. I've seen that much lasix given from time to time, but there are too many unknown factors here (as readers on this...
