  1. Nursing Buisness Cards?

    Miss Ludie replied to kcheng's topic in General Nursing

    I am of several thoughts. Name, rank, and email address. Name, City, email or just Name, RN I really don't want too much stuff out there, cause some froot-cake might just decide he needs a nurse at...

  2. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    Miss Ludie replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    Talking about tally-whackers. I knew a little boy who was a patient where I worked. He called his Peanut. One day I was working and for his birthday the doc got a candy dish shaped like -yes- a...

  3. I don't want to gag

    Miss Ludie replied to fathernurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Mentholatum/Vicks is great. Also those Ricola cough drops that you have to really concentrate on because they are rough squares help me. Altoids will make me whiff to cool my mouth. But then poopy...

  4. Are all nurses that wear white dorks?

    Miss Ludie replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I have some pics of 1920 graduation classes and they are in white dresses and hats, but black stockings and shoes. Nursing must bow to fashion trends even though it's usually about 20 years too...

  5. Health Profession & Wacko's

    Miss Ludie replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    Y'anno there is a certain personality I call a 'tater. This use of this word comes from the mouth of one of my 'taters AGITATOR. What kind of professional gets on a professional board and posts this...

  6. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Miss Ludie replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Been scanning this thread with some amount of interest. I feel that some here are playing devil's advocate, shaking cages, pulling chains. But all in all there has been some intriguing debate....

  7. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    Miss Ludie replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 "favorites". One was for using the wrong time clock. I did some research and found the clock number she accused me of using did not exist. The number was a code for supervisor entered missing...

  8. Moving to GreenVille S.C

    Miss Ludie replied to Guest26407's topic in General Nursing

    Try salary.com I would imagine it would depend on experience as well as where you would work, hospital, nursing home, doctor's

  10. Poll: Male Nurses in the OB? Ok or No Way???

    Miss Ludie replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Mr Panic, since you are not a Nurse and an engineer why are you asking this question on a Nursing Board? Is your wife a Nurse? I cannot help but feel that this subject would be more adequately...

  11. Mary Seacole: Florence Nightingale - without the wealth and publicity.

    Miss Ludie replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope one realizes that this isn't an either/or subject. It's like comparison of do you like oranges or a visit to the mountains. We can have all without giving up any one of them. When I was at...

  12. Air Entry Assessment..

    Miss Ludie replied to solumedrol's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but Canada is not that far afield in education. Why do you not know names of common medications, wording for physical assessments, medical

  13. Air Entry Assessment..

    Miss Ludie replied to solumedrol's topic in General Nursing

    NarcoticJunkie: Are you a nursing student? Are you in an RN program? Is English your primary language? It seems to me that if you are on your second clinical you should be exhibiting more...

  14. Ampules still being used, Ouch!

    Miss Ludie replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to report this to OSHA also. What if you WERE popping Phenergan and had an allergic reaction through a cut finger? And isn't there a place you report defective medical devices? Report...

  15. An Enemy As A Patient

    Miss Ludie replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I had a woman who had lived across the road from me and she or her husband shot a bullet through my front window. My boss thought that was not a sufficient reason. I took it up the food chain and...

  16. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Miss Ludie replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought here. You may want to consider changing the type of primary care provider to an Internist. That way your medical records would be transferred to a "probably neutral" (?) party. You...

  17. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Miss Ludie replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Haunted, I am very sorry for your pain, both physical and emotional. I try not to reveal my "Nurse-dom" to other medical providers. However, recently for a different procedure I had horrible care...

  18. My first few days, as a new RN

    Miss Ludie replied to starryx2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if I should post this link as it comes from the RWJ site, but here is a good picture of how it should be. http://www.nursesworldmag.com/articles-on-nursing/care.cfm/id/23.html The title...

  19. Ceus

    Miss Ludie replied to Janinern84's topic in General Nursing

    I like the Medscape ones online. I also like the open book type in the journals. It makes you have to find the information. Nursing 2006 is my

  20. Calling All Managers (Who Were Once Abused Nurses)

    Miss Ludie replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I also have seen how becoming a manager changes a person. The nurse I recall was fairly good, nothing remarkable who left the floor for a QA job. I assume it was stress and burnout but I wasn't told...

  21. Infection Control and Caps

    Miss Ludie replied to Fiona59's topic in General Nursing

    I think nurses just got tired of them catching on everything. The infection control issue may or may not be true. Believe me in the 70's everything "went" and caps were among the garments

  22. Do you feel it is appropriate for a LPN to apply for medical assistant positions?

    Miss Ludie replied to emllpn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Many physicians use LP/LVNs in their offices. Be aware though that you may be held to a higher standard ie: your LPN license, than that of a medical assistant. I would check with the board of...

  23. Meth is destroying communities

    Miss Ludie replied to WVUturtle514's topic in General Nursing

    Meth has been around since the late 1800s. Japan and Germany used it as a stimulant for their military. Japan stockpiled it and after the war it began on the black market. Arouond here it seems...

  24. Phlebotomy course for RNs

    Miss Ludie replied to Meena29's topic in General Nursing

    For our phlebotomy course they handed us a paper that had the various color tubes to use for what and then gave us a rubber arm to try ONE time. If you can access a vein for IV you will probably do...

  25. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    Miss Ludie replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    You sure can in Georgia, but in SC it only lists your town. Somewhat of a condolence since if you have an odd name or if you are in a small town it won't be heard to track you
