  1. Narcotic administration times

    Mr. Murse replied to _meow's topic in Patient Medications

    This kind of PRN order can be interpreted a couple of different ways, but I tend to agree with MunoRN's post above. It's the same idea with a PCA pump. If the 4 hour lock out dose is set at 4mg (or...

  2. Night Shift Snack

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

    Lately I've been bringing an apple, avocado, and banana for each shift, and cocoa covered almonds for snacks, and of course at least a liter of water. Being tired makes you crave all the junk food...

  3. Male Nurse Hair Styles

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

    Well, it's not particularly good advice. It's an incredibly boring hairstyle. Sure, it works for some people and that's cool, but to suggest all men should wear it and tout it as some manly men's cut...

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

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

    come on now, do you really expect us to give you the answer? I doubt I'm the only one that doesn't want a nurse that can't do his/her own problems taking care of patients, so figure it out on your...

  5. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Mr. Murse replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    who cares? let your actions speak louder than words. I have my ADN and am often charging over many BSN nurses. Not saying I'm a better nurse, just that it doesn't matter. Education is what the student...

  6. Male Nurse Hair Styles

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

    Is this a joke?

  7. Male locks (hair)

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

    to some people, walking in to an interview with dreads would be pretty much the same as walking into an interview with a six inch spiked up mohawk, so like other posts said, it really just depends on...

  8. Male nursing

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

    there are quite a few threads with similar topics in the "men in nursing" category. just read

  9. Men in nursing

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

    There may be a few isolated examples of true discrimination against male nurses here and there, but it's definitely not the rule. If anything, it's an advantage because we offer a few different assets...

  10. Transgender student nurse

    Mr. Murse replied to teethotamales's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I suspect there are a few more factors at play than the OP is sharing, either intentionally or because they're not even aware of it themselves. Either way it's a very complex issue with a lot of...

  11. Need some guidance

    Mr. Murse replied to Lola RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's different for everyone, so I'm not going to tell you that you're not alone, because you may be......but that's okay. Each of us adjusts differently and takes different amounts of time to feel...

  12. Evolution and Nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    There are many, many nurses who believe in evolution......atheist and Christian.....quite a few that I know personally. Evolution and creationism are not exclusive though, many people believe in both,...

  13. Would you give PRN percocet and scheduled Oxycodone together?

    Mr. Murse replied to lunaro16's topic in Patient Medications

    It's completely relative to the situation and patient. If it were me, I would avoid giving the two together as a rule, but exceptions could be made. I have seen opioid tolerant patients get ridiculous...

  14. Spirituality and nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to Enlightenedx's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think this thread reaffirms what I've believed for a long time now: you will usually see what you want to see. The people that go into nursing (or just into life) believing in a Biblical-type god...

  15. Life is beautiful if one has his/her life centered on God

    Mr. Murse replied to guyna's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Everyone has their own way of being. Their own way of living life and pursuing happiness. Yours is Christianity/religion, which is fine, but for many of us it is not. I used to be religious when I...

  16. Obesity, diarrhea and skin care

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

    Looks like most of this has been mentioned already, but just to reiterate....... On my floor, with a patient having that much diarrhea and with compromised skin integrity, they would have had a BMS...

  17. Does nursing school teach you how to react to a dead/dying patient?

    Mr. Murse replied to RainbowHead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's one of those things that you can't learn in a text book. I mean yes, you can learn post-mortem care (cleaning the body, tagging, etc) but you can never be taught how to emotionally,...

  18. Hey is anyones life as a nurse like greys amatomy?

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

    I'm thankful to all things holy that my work life is NOT like Grey's Anatomy. Ugh. I can't believe that's something you feel the need to brag

  19. Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    Mr. Murse replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Men in Nursing

    what a dumb statement on her part. I'm usually the one cleaning up after the women when I come on shift, throwing away drinks and wrappers and old paperwork left just lying around. Not saying women...

  20. Annoying female coworker conversations

    Mr. Murse replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love women. I don't mean that in some "macho" way, I just like the way they work and think, and I enjoy the conversations I have with my female coworkers for the most part. I'm glad that I don't...

  21. Sexism in nursing

    Mr. Murse replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sure, other nurses and sometimes patients will talk about "male nurses", but really, why do you even care? I'm trying to think how to say this tactfully.........but grow some thicker skin man! It's...

  22. Night shift and adjusting on your days off

    Mr. Murse replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

    Usually, unless I have more than 3 days off in a row, I just stick to my night sleeping schedule. I may back it up a little bit, as in going to bed at 3 or 4 instead of 8 or 9, but I think it's more...

  23. Study habits as Nursing Student -vs- New Grad-->NCLEX-RN Prep

    Mr. Murse replied to PayitForwardHolistic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did well in prerequisites and nursing classes, and was among the top of my class when we took the HESI exam(I don't know if all nursing schools do that, but we had to), so I was overly confident...

  24. I want to be a bedside nurse, but...

    Mr. Murse replied to Aurora77's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like it's time to start looking for another job. I don't mean leave nursing, find another

  25. Is my GPA good enough?

    Mr. Murse replied to dsingh24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    depends on the school and the group of applicants, but you should be fine with that GPA. Just apply to at least 2 or 3 schools because it's all really relative to the others that happen to be applying...
