  1. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    Tragically Hip replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In a catastrophe/natural disaster/emergency, I'm surprised that sharing a room with one other person would be the most critical item. In companies I've worked for, traveling managers (and...

  2. The Power Of Prayer in Healthcare

    Tragically Hip replied to TheCommuter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would not change my life-stance based on one medical study you can't reference, and which has been refuted by other studies, including the large, comprehensive study I referenced above. "increase in...

  3. Nursing students get any assistance from the government if school wont let you work?

    Tragically Hip replied to ms.nikki's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Get in touch with the unemployment/job retraining folks in your state or county. Since the believe there's a nursing shortage, and so many are interested in the field as a second career, they will...

  4. Jury Duty and Nursing School

    Tragically Hip replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    GrnTea, that sounds exactly how it was in Massachusetts, when I lived there. The first time I was called for jury duty at the Superior Court in Newberryport, I was the last juror chosen out of a pool...

  5. They want me to teach developmental math!!!

    Tragically Hip replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It's amazing how well you learn things when you teach them. After going over a few chapters in the book, is there someone you can practice on, preferably a techie-type? If you have nursing math down...

    Tragically Hip replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Or a hospital

  7. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    Tragically Hip replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Often in a hurricane, by the time the evacuation order is given, there is not enough time and not enough resources to evacuate everyone. How would you evacuate all of a big city's critically ill...

  8. The Power Of Prayer in Healthcare

    Tragically Hip replied to TheCommuter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    What is the purpose of going through the motions if you don't believe in it? Does the family see you closing your eyes, clasping your hands, and moving your lips? Or do you just tell them that you'll...

  9. The Power Of Prayer in Healthcare

    Tragically Hip replied to TheCommuter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    We provide evidence based care. But then, when it comes to religious belief, we don't? We practice faith-based care? Would you like to fly in an airplane designed on faith, or would you rather fly on...

  12. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    Tragically Hip replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the way, this subject was discussed a few years ago: cheating at nursing

  13. Not even a word of English

    Tragically Hip replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can be upset about the social implications of immigrants not understanding the language well, but once the patient is in a bed on your floor, as far as his care is concerned, it's a moot point....

  14. Not even a word of English

    Tragically Hip replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is no official language in the U.S. English is the predominant language, but the percentage of citizens and residents for whom Spanish is the primary language is increasing. What language(s) we...

  15. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    Tragically Hip replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Brandon, no one is forcing anyone to do anything. Without invoking Goodwin's law, I'm sure you're aware of the historical result of widespread apathy. The implication is not that all evils are equal,...

  16. Should I switch Nursing Schools after finishing my 1st semester?

    Tragically Hip replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

    The only regionally-accredited nursing programs I'm aware of in Miami-Dade County are UM, FIU, MDC, and Kaiser. (Nova Southeastern is to the north, in Davie.) I wouldn't go to any other school in the...

  17. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    Tragically Hip replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i couldn't disagree more. it's good that in your one anecdotal case things worked out for the best, but frequently they do not. often the instructor is oblivious, and occasionally, he's indifferent. a...

  18. Not even a word of English

    Tragically Hip replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The ADN program at our school has no foreign langauge requirement, but the BSN program requires at least two years of a foreign language at the high school or college level. I took two years of...

  19. My thoughts on Mental Health Nursing

    Tragically Hip replied to Elladora's topic in Psychiatric

    From what I've read, there appear to be very good opportunities in advanced practice nursing in mental

  20. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    Tragically Hip replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a class with an excellent instructor who hardly proctored his exams. He was in and out of the class, in the hallway on the phone, a lot of the time during tests. There was one student who was...

  21. What do you do in lab for A&P?

    Tragically Hip replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school would argue that it eliminates a cost factor. Computer programs are cheap, and there's no worry about chemical

    Either you missed katnurseswims' irony, or I'm missing yours. If it's the latter, then

  23. Things that gross you out..

    Tragically Hip replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Students

    My microbiology professor taught me to appreaciate the fragrant waste of bacteria. He's sit with a pile of Petri dishes in the lab, examine them, and then take the lid off and sample. He could often...

  24. Indiscriminate Empathy?

    Tragically Hip replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand that statement. Do you mean you can empathize, truly empathize with someone, feeling what they feel the way they feel it? I don't think "empathy" is the right word here. I think...

  25. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    Tragically Hip replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is certainly the case. That has become very common. The state college and state university here do that, as well as the small for-profit vocational schools with ADN
