  1. Worried my Ultrascope is too "cute"

    steelcityrn replied to DroogieRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would use it, what the heck. If you want, you can buy a cover for it also. Its the quality of them, not the

  2. Best shoes ever?

    steelcityrn replied to redraccoon's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Another good brand is S.A.S. They are leather, air padded and made very well. Where I buy them, you can step your foot into a mold, and they can build up the arch or heel as needed. You can buy the...

  3. What actions can I take when abused by a clinical instructor and failed?

    steelcityrn replied to WantingtheBest's topic in General Nursing

  4. What to wear for a day of shadowing a nurse?

    steelcityrn replied to cakegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Dress light, maybe a white tee shirt. Comfortable shoes, not tight or rubbing. Socks that can breath. Between the excitement of the day, and the busy schedule, you will feel

  5. Am I wrong to feel this way?

    steelcityrn replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    haha...this is a funny post! I'm sure it was not supposed to be, but this is classic

  6. Definition of Deconditioning??

    steelcityrn replied to NurseCinderella's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, agree with the above. Usually this means a need for physical therapy to assist in rebuilding strength and endurence to the patients potential. It also means that there has been a significant...

  8. $22.78

    steelcityrn replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds about right to me. Was only 10 years ago a new r.n. I knew started at 16.50 in the

  9. New CNA worried might have caught HIV working with HIV positive resident

    steelcityrn replied to MarellaMagdalene's topic in General Nursing

    You can sero-convert in 6 weeks to 3 months. You should be tested now, then again in 3 months, then 1 year to be sure. Its not that easy to be passed on the way your scenerio happened, and the...

  10. To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....

    steelcityrn replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like eveyone just needs to do their job and don't worry about what everyone

  11. DON salary question

    steelcityrn replied to Marshall1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Probably around

  12. Please help with case study for Nursing School

    steelcityrn replied to Ireynolds87's topic in General Students

    Before a patient is removed from life support, a brain scan is taken. This story you present sounds like something on T.V. If by a slim chance this was to occur this way, I would think the situation...

  13. First complaint against me...

    steelcityrn replied to EMSnut45's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel your pain. You seem like a good person, nurse and member of society. You were actually taking another patient for a short walk. Its unfortunate that everything transpired at that time. Being...

  14. New RN to work supervisor position at LTC facility

    steelcityrn replied to crna2b-RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Many times that job involves medications administration and being in charge of the HHA's. The turn over is high, it just depends on the

  15. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    steelcityrn replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    Been going on since the beginning of time. People who give themselves the title without the degree. I think they are using the term very very loosley. How many times you see nurses aids posted under...

  16. Hanging myself out to dry

    steelcityrn replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well, guess in hind sight you could have just sent him the email thanking him for the beds, and her asking about the suction machine. One thing for sure, it will blow over and they will be...

  17. Geez, another bad medical drama

    steelcityrn replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    Totally unrealistic, all of them. Mercy had their nurse shoot a guy in a bar, then go right back to work? Now she has post traumatic disorder, of course. Have not seen trauma enough but I'm sure its...

  18. Successful unconventional RN positions with less than yr exp

    steelcityrn replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I am surprised they would consider a new nurse with 4-5 months experience for that position. I can only recommend to you that if you do not want to do hospital or snf work, consider working...

  19. Health Care Bill

    steelcityrn replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    My hope is that in the end, there are no more straight medicare and medicaid plans, the latter has been a complete failure. There is no accountability for the money spent, no mandatory ways to prevent...

  20. Want to hear your pet peeves in LTC nursing

    steelcityrn replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do not or have never been a staff member at a LTC, but I did do a few travel shifts in a few. Have been in many for other reasons. I find many to be dirty, smelly, poorly staffed, not the greatest...

  21. Will you give out a medication without the order yet?

    steelcityrn replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Patient Medications

    She has alot of nerve asking you to give a medication without a order. Wonder how often she does

  22. I bet they thought they hushed everything up.

    steelcityrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

  23. Am I overreacting?

    steelcityrn replied to annaRNC's topic in General Nursing

    Boy is she setting them up for some sugar coating nursing! I guess thats how they are keeping the nursing school census

  24. Abusive Doctors!

    steelcityrn replied to new_oldRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't ever let a bully win! You need to stand up for yourself. Some of my comments might be..." I am doing my my job as I was taught, and I will not tolorate being treated like a moron in front of...

  25. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    steelcityrn replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds gross, I for one could not sit there and eat my meal with her. I would either move to the end of the table and have something to read, or not eat with her at all. Thats so disgusting, and...
