    Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

    proud nurse replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's all about teamwork. I would not be offended, and I would ask the nurse to insert the suppository if they were better positioned than I was. If it was that serious, I'd tell them to come around...

    proud nurse replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks tokmom. The directions are becoming clearer, but trying to get 15 articles is tedious and ruining my life. Was that overly dramatic? On a good note, my final grade was posted for...

    proud nurse replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The reason it was one of my favorites had little to do with my beliefs. I got all 150 points on the Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity first draft, so I didn't need to make any revisions (and...

    IV starts in nursing schools

    proud nurse replied to DaynaPierceMorgan's topic in General Nursing

    IV starts and IV push meds was part of the curriculum in a skills class in the third semester of my ADN program. Of course, it was on fake arms that had huge veins and tons of holes from so much...

    proud nurse replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Doubling up on classes wasn't the worst thing, but I had no idea of the amount of time I would spend on the pathophys DQs. Like I said earlier, I wish I would've checked in here months ago. I...

    The Perfect Shift: Are cameras on us?

    proud nurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    An adequate number of staff on hand, that will work, and preferably can work well together is usually enough for me. As a side note, I used to work as charge nurse in a LTC facility that had cameras...

    If you were a CNA did your job let you promote to LVN/LPN after school?

    proud nurse replied to jawatson87's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was not a CNA, but I was an LPN going back to school for my RN. My employer was supportive, flexible with my scheduling needs, and offered tuition reimbursement. When I started my final semester,...

    tokmom, Can you give me your take on the Capstone overall? I was hoping that they would go easy on us considerating all we've done to get to this point. The instructor did say that it was intense...

    Night Shift Dulls your brain

    proud nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Health, Stress Management

    2nd shift is really the ideal shift for me, but it was hard raising a family keeping those hours. I went to 3rd shift because it worked out better for our family. Now that my kids are grown and in...

    Is your hospital in the Arctic Zone?

    proud nurse replied to Joe V's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have a few staff that fiddle with the thermostat all night. At least take the time to ask people if they are hot or cold, or do they mind if they make it into an igloo. Last weekend, I dug up all...

    proud nurse replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me a lot when I worked in urgent care. Parents would tell their kid that I was going to give them a shot if they didn't act right. Truthfully, in urgent care we rarely gave shots to...
