  1. Question for nurses working in various ICU settings

    chrisrn24 replied to karenlm's topic in Critical Care

    chrisrn24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

  4. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    chrisrn24 replied to Tinkk's topic in General Nursing

    OP prior to CNA class I had never seen a member before. A few years later I've seen several (at work only). It's no

  8. Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

    chrisrn24 replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    On last weeks Trophy Wife they all had lice. The school nurse was very incompetent. At the end of the episode the little boy said "when I grow up I want to be a school nurse." His mom said "why?" The...

  10. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    chrisrn24 replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Then you need to make your own. You can't change professors' teaching styles but you can change how you react to it. In life things aren't always going to be how you want them to be - being flexible...

  13. I'm Mentally ILL says Teacher!

    chrisrn24 replied to Litenurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm confused too. Actually maybe you're mad but your writing seems disjointed and muddled. Maybe you need to seek help with a mental health professional. Eta - from looking at your previous posts this...

  15. Crossing a line?

    chrisrn24 replied to nurse4littles's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yeah I think you might have to let this one go. Sure you may calm the baby down quietly, but the adoptive parents need to learn that too. You were like a foster parent. A hard part of nursing is...

  16. What would you do???

    chrisrn24 replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Of course not. You ideally both leave and reapproach. And try again later. If it doesn't work call the family and explain the situation. Maybe they will come sit with Mary while you try to brush....

  17. What would you do???

    chrisrn24 replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What I would do? Stop immediately. Actually I would've stopped if she was raising her hand to me the first time. Similar things have happened to me and I've said "it's not worth it" and tried...

    chrisrn24 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

  23. When to offer prayer.

    chrisrn24 replied to SillyStudent's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think it's fine to pray for the person yourself but I don't think you should be asking patients if they would like you to pray for them. One admission question should be about religion/spirituality...
